A
A
Carlton-
and
I
am
here
so
just
to
give
folks
a
little
bit
of
the
lay
of
the
land
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
today,
we're
going
to
be
a
little
excuse
me
a
little
all
over
the
agenda,
because
things
have
to
move
in
a
certain
order
and
we
did
receive
two
bills
yesterday.
A
So
just
give
everybody
a
heads
up,
we'll
be
starting
with
487,
then
we're
going
to
go
to
488
and
those
are
both
abs
and
then
we'll
be
discussing
sb
450,
then
we'll
get
into
the
elections
bills.
While
we
have
the
speaker
in
the
room
which
I
believe
are
126
312
and
422,
those
are
all
abs,
also
321.
I
apologize
get
a
little
dyslexic
at
the
end
of
session
ab321
and
422.,
so
those
are
at
the
top
of
the
batting
order.
That's
just
the
first
inning.
So
I'll.
A
Let
you
know
when
what
the
batting
order
is
for
the
second
inning.
So
with
that
committee,
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
begin
if
you,
if
I
didn't,
call
out
your
bills
right
now
and
mr
o'neill,
if
you
could
wait
in
your
office,
we
want
to
keep
people
where
they
kind
of
staged
when
you're
you're
not
going
to
be
until
a
bit
later.
So
no
reason
to
be
here,
the
less
we
have
to
use
the
overflow
room,
the
better
off.
We
are
in
case
that
room
needs
to
be
used.
A
C
B
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
susan
brown,
I
serve
as
director
of
the
governor's
office
of
finance
before
you
today
is
assembly
bill
487.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
just
curious
as
to
what
the
need
is
to
suspend
the
transfer.
B
Susan
brown,
for
the
record,
I
believe
the
need
for
this
is
to
fund
the
budget,
as
has
been
approved
through
the
money
committees
for
the
biennial
for
the
upcoming
biannual
mother.
A
And
I
wouldn't
want
to
put
miss
brown
in
a
position
of
speaking
for
the
legislature
and
the
conversations
that
we've
had.
This
is
something
that
we
need
to
do.
We
know
there
are
dollars
coming,
but
we
also
know
that
we
have
to
fund
government
by
may
the
31st,
so
we
can't
pretend
that
money
is
going
to
be
there.
We.
E
A
This
is
the
other,
the
version,
so
we
we
it's
we're
we're
in
a
very
unique
position
where
we
know
the
checks
coming,
but
it's
not
here,
so
we
can't
write
the
check
for
anything
else.
A
If
you
don't
spend
money,
you
don't
have
dr
titus
thank.
F
B
Oh,
I
I
have
the
numbers:
okay,
good,
go
ahead,
based
on
the
economic
forum
projections
in
may.
That
amount
is
approximately
43.4
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
22
and
46.4
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
23.
F
And
thank
you
follow
up
on
that
then
just
so
clarification.
This
would,
if
we
suspend
it
now,
it
continues.
Obviously
it
says
through
the
biennium.
Can
we
unsuspend
it
at
any
time
if
things
look
different.
F
Correct
but
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
unsuspend
it
until
next
session,
then
correct.
A
A
A
E
E
A
A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assembly,
bill
488
relates
to
a
lawsuit
that
the
supreme
court
determined
repealed
the
technology
fee
for
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
This
bill
reenacts
and
applies
retroactively.
The
one
dollar
technology
fee,
beginning
june,
30th,
2020
and
expiring.
My
limitation
on
june
30th
2026.
A
B
Hello,
chair
and
committee
members,
no,
no
powerpoint
today
chair
sean
sever
for
the
record
deputy
administrator
at
the
nevada
dmv.
B
During
the
pandemic,
it
became
clear
to
us
that
this
needed
to
be
our
number
one
goal,
as
as
was
the
same
with
many
other
businesses
in
our
state.
We
implemented
online
driver's
license
renewals
last
september,
and
more
than
80
000
nevadans
have
taken
advantage
of
this
service
and
avoided
an
in-person
visit
to
a
dmv
office,
which
is
a
great
example
of
what
nevadans
want
from
the
dmv.
B
We
still
will,
of
course,
have
offices
open
for
those
that
prefer
in-person
transactions,
so
the
department
would
like
to
receive
funding
from
the
technology
fee
to
continue
with
this
effort.
As
a
supplement
to
a
direct
appropriation
from
the
highway
fund,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
we
can
answer
any
questions
at
this
point.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
sir,
for
for
giving
that
information.
I'm
curious
about
the
amount
of
money
is
expected
from
this
over
the
the
until.
F
B
You
know
what
no
I
know
chair
sean
server
from
the
dmv
we'll
have
to
get
back
to
miss
titus
on
that
question.
F
So
I
guess
I
just
need
some
more
understanding
on
the
original
amount
and
then,
when
it
was
extended
in
2019,
was
it
sunsetted
to
the
same
date,
the
2026
date
that
this
bill
would
be.
B
Sean
sever
dmv;
no,
no!
It
was
not.
F
F
Is
that
for
purposes
of
reimbursement
of
the
one
that
was
overturned
or
is
it
acknowledged
that
the
fees
are
needed
to
actually
fund
the
project.
D
This
is
this
is
jude
heren
deputy
director
of
dmv.
It
is
actually
meant
to
help
us
go
forward
with
the
transformation
offset
funds
so
that
we
don't
have
to
request
any
highway
funds
or
offset
that
those
costs.
So
it
is
a
day
forward
going
going
forward.
It's
not
to
replenish
what
was
lost.
Those
funds
in
the
tech
fee
right
now,
part
of
that
will
be
used
as
a
refund
purpose
because
of
the
supreme
court
ruling,
but
going
forward.
This
will
allow
us
to
offset
highway
funds
going
forward
with
the
transformation
project.
F
D
A
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
gentlemen,
you
mentioned
the.
H
Will
be
used
for
do
you
know
how
much
that.
D
D
D
Madam
chair,
this
is
jude
heren
deputy
director
of
dmv.
I
was
just
my
apologies
in
regards
to
the
answer
to
ms
titus.
I
was
corrected
that
this
is
retroactively
correcting
fiscal
year
21.,
so
I
apologize
for
that.
I
read
it
incorrectly
and
I
didn't
have
the
information
in
front
of
me,
so
my
apologies
to
that.
A
A
So
this
does
go
back
retroactively
to
june
30th
of
2020
to
make
sure
that
those
technology
fees
are
collected
to
make
sure
that
these
projects
are
completed.
It's
important
that
those
dollars
are
there
to
get
this
project
done,
and
most
people
in
this
building
a
lot
of
the
complaints
we
get
will
be
about
are
about
dmv.
Not
it's
about
you
guys,
but
it's
just
the
public,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
will
help
dmv
do
their
job,
so
we
don't
get
those
complaints
about
dmv.
F
D
Fee
jude
here
for
the
record
deputy
director
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
working
with
the
treasurer's
office
and
comptroller's
office
on
many
options
to
do
this
or
credit
refunds
and
so
forth.
So
at
this
point
in
time
we
don't
have
that
information.
C
Miss
kaufman.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
did
receive
an
approximate
estimate,
which
was
approximately
5.5
million
dollars.
A
C
Thank
you
chair,
and
I
appreciate
that
last
statement.
I
I
do
wonder
since
it's
so
potentially
costly
to
go
through
that
process
of
reimbursing
has
the
dmv
ever
looked
at,
maybe
just
doing
it
through
the
system
in
a
credit
process
instead
moving
forward
and
what
that
would
take
to
implement
that
process
and
if
there
would
be
any
costs
involved.
C
A
A
D
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
and
I
know
you
you're
unable
to
estimate.
You
know
what
this
will
burning
in
over
the
six-year
period,
but
what
did
it
bring
in
from
20
june
2020
or
whenever
it
was
first
enacted
until
it
was
repealed
by
the
supreme
court?
What
did
it
bring
in
then.
D
Judy
hearing
for
the
record,
I
got
one
of
our
analysts
actually
going
to
get
that
information
for
you
right
now.
So
if
I
can
delay
that
answer,
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
perhaps
miss
kaufman
has
it.
C
Madam
chair,
the
amounts
were
6.7
million
dollars
for
fiscal
year,
2022
and
6.9
million
dollars
for
fiscal
year.
2023.
D
B
A
Okay
committee
members,
any
other
questions
at
this
time,
not
seeing
any
other
questions
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
into
the
support,
opposition
and
neutral
testimony
on
the
bill.
So
with
that,
is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
support
of
ab488
not
seeing
anyone
come
forward?
Is
there
anyone
on
the
phone
line
in
support
of.
E
E
E
A
All
right,
if
they,
if
they
cannot
get
through
and
they're
listening,
please
just
send
an
email
in
support
to
the
committee
and
we
will
be
sure
to
attach
it
to
the
record
on
the
bill
today
and
I
apologize
if
there's
a
technical
difficulty
and
we
need,
but
we
do
need
to
move
on
so
with
that.
Is
there
anyone
in
opposition
of
the
bill
in
the
room.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
james
settlement
center
of
district
17..
I
know
you're
absolutely
shocked
that
I'm
opposed
to
ab488,
especially
section
17.3.
I've
been
in
discussion
with
the
dmv
on
possible
solutions
to
the
problem.
You
know
everything
stemming
from
the
concept
of
sending
about
a
check
which
would
be
actually
the
worst
decision,
because
that
potentially
would
cost
30
dollars
a
check.
There's
other
solutions.
J
Looking
at
reprogramming
there
was
a
third
discussion
I
had
with
the
dmv
simply
just
changing
the
system
rather
than
saying
charging
a
dollar
for
a
period
of
a
year,
just
going
in
and
changing
the
system
to
say
negative,
a
dollar
to
create
that
credit
that,
as
they
indicated
to
me,
would
not
cost
much
money
at
all.
It
cost
the
same
amount
of
money
as
they
were
ordered
to
do
by
the
court
to
go
in
and
turn
off
the
system.
J
In
that
respect,
I
feel
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
work
in
a
bipartisan
way
to
find
a
solution
to
this
problem
in
order
to
refund
the
money
that
the
district
court
on
october
7th
indicated
had
to
be
refunded.
That
meant
that
the
tax
that
expired
in
june
had
only
been
in
place
for
about
four
months.
J
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
committee,
for
the
record.
My
name
is
keith
pickard.
I
represent
senate
district
20
in
henderson
and
southern
nevada,
and
I
come
to
the
committee
in
opposition
to
assembly
bill
488
on
october
7
2020,
the
first
judicial
district
court
of
the
state
of
nevada
in
and
for
carson
city
entered
its
order.
J
After
hearing
on
september
21st
2020,
the
court
ordered
as
follows
that
it
is
hereby
further
ordered
that
defendant,
nevada,
department
of
motor
vehicles
and
defendant
nevada
department
of
taxation
are
immediately
enjoined
and
restrained
from
collecting
and
enforcing
the
unconstitutional
fees
and
taxes
enacted
by
sb,
542
and
sections
2,
3,
37
and
39
of
sb
551
respectively,
and
that
all
fees
paid
all
fee
payers
and
taxpayers
from
whom
such
fees
and
taxes
have
already
been
collected
are
entitled
to
an
immediate
refund
thereof.
With
interest
at
the
legal
rate
of
interest.
J
J
Just
10
days
later,
a
unanimous
supreme
court
affirmed
every
wit
of
the
lower
court's
decision,
rejecting
the
same
arguments
that
have
been
made
in
support
of
this
bill.
Today,
the
supreme
court
restated
what
is
universally
viewed
as
the
first
principle
of
jurisprudence
in
the
united
states,
the
declaration
of
marbury
versus
madison
in
1803
that
it
is
emphatically
the
province
and
duty
of
the
judicial
department
to
say
what
the
law
is.
Indeed,
the
court
rejected
lcb
council's
contention
that
the
court
owed
any
deference
to
the
legislative
council's
interpretation
since
the
constitutional
language
was
plain
and
unambiguous.
J
J
A
J
Very
well,
the
cases
cited
in
the
legislative
council
digest
of
ab488
do
not
involve
private
rights
of
parties
which
have
vested
by
a
court
judgment,
nor
do
they
disturb
vested
rights
at
all.
Retroactive
laws
which
divest
vested
rights,
deprive
citizens
of
property
without
due
process
of
law
or
interfere
with
the
judiciary
by
negating
a
judgment
already
granted
are
manifestly
unconstitutional,
similar
to
ex-post
facto
laws
and
laws
which
impair
obligations
and
contracts.
J
Thus,
the
legislature
lacks
the
authority
to
instruct
the
executive
branch
to
disobey
the
court's
orders.
Nrs
22.010
defines
acts
constituting
contempt
of
court.
Specifically,
the
statute
declares
disobedience
or
resistance
to
any
lawful
writ
order,
rule
or
process
issued
by
the
court
as
an
act
of
contempt.
Ab-488
is
clearly
an
act
of
willful
disobedience
to
a
lawful
order.
Should
this
body
decide
to
pass
it.
I
implore
this
body
to
put
this
bill
in
the
drawer
and
leave
it
there.
Let's
avoid
another
constitutional
crisis.
J
We
cannot
properly
authorize
what
the
court's
order
expressly
disallows,
although
as
a
successful
plaintiff
in
the
courts,
I'm
sorry,
although
as
a
successful
plaintiff
in
the
lawsuit
and
as
a
successful
respondent
in
the
appeal,
I
and
my
fellow
plaintiffs
will
have
standing
to
bring
a
motion
for
an
order
to
show
cause
why
those
who
refuse
to
open.
J
A
And
thank
you
senators.
I
appreciate
your
input
and
your
opposition,
but
this
committee
has
to
weigh
all
facets
if
it's
a
five
million
dollar
refund
and
it's
going
to
cost
us
eight
million
dollars
to
give
it
back
and
that
impacts
other
services
in
the
state.
I
believe
it
is
our
responsibility
to
weigh
those
as
we
move
forward
and
make
the
best
decision
that
we
need
to
make
for
the
people
of
the
state.
Thank
you.
You're.
Welcome
at
the
people's
house,
see
you
later
thanks
a
lot.
E
A
E
E
A
A
K
And
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
it
is
good
to
be
here
with
you
this
morning
for
the
record.
My
name
is
nicole
cannizzaro
and
I
represent
senate
district
six,
which
is
located
in
the
northwest
portion
of
the
las
vegas
valley.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
today
to
present
to
you
senate
bill
450,
which
addresses
funding
for
schools.
K
The
genesis
of
this
bill
goes
all
the
way
back
to
1997
when
the
legislature
allowed
school
districts
to
ask
for
voter
approval
to
issue
bonds
over
a
10-year
period,
providing
certain
conditions
were
met.
As
this
rollover
bond
authority
started
to
expire,
the
legislature
granted
an
extension
in
2015
allowing
the
school
districts
to
issue
general
obligation
bonds
for
an
additional
period
of
10
years
without
voter
approval,
subject,
of
course,
to
certain
findings
that
brings
us
to
2021
and
senate
bill.
450..
K
As
with
the
prior
legislation
senate,
bill
450
allows
the
school
districts
to
use
excess
revenues
from
the
existing
tax
rate
to
find
pay.
As
you
go
capital
improvement
projects,
including
remodeling
and
other
needed
facility
improvements.
This
bill
ensures
that
the
debt
service
and
reserve
funds
are
not
impacted.
K
Since
the
school
districts
had
bonds
approved
at
different
times,
they
are
not
on
the
same
schedule,
but
clark,
county
school
district
is
coming
to
the
end
of
its
2015
extension
and
has
a
list
of
much
needed
projects
ready
to
go.
I
should
point
out
that
these
rollover
bonds
must
be
reviewed
by
the
oversight
panels
for
school
facilities,
which
were
set
up
by
the
legislature
in
1997
and
continue
to
serve
an
important
oversight
function
in
clark
and
washoe
counties.
K
As
we
know,
our
school
districts
have
an
ongoing
and
uphill
battle
to
keep
their
buildings
and
facilities
up
to
date
and
in
good
repair
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
fund
these
needed
projects
without
increasing
the
tax
rate
is
a
smart
move.
Also,
this
measure
ensures
that
our
students
and
staff
members
are
studying
and
working
in
buildings
that
are
safe.
K
Madam
chair,
that
does
conclude
my
very
brief
introductory
remarks,
but
I
do
have
some
individuals
here
with
me
who
I
would
like
to
turn
the
testimony
over.
I
also
wanted
to
extend
my
deepest
appreciation
to
speaker
fryerson
to
chair
carlton
and
majority
leader
benitez
thompson,
plus
so
many
more
who
have
signed
on
as
co-sponsors
of
this
measure,
because
I
do
think
that
it
is
an
important
measure
to
go
forward
to
ensure
that
we
can
continue
having
up-to-date
school
facilities
with
your
approval.
K
Madam
chair,
I
would
like
to
turn
the
microphone
over
to
brad
keating
from
the
clark
county
school
district.
We
also
have
lindsey
anderson
of
the
washoe
county
school
district
and
mary
pryzinski
representing
the
rural
county
school
districts.
I
of
course
urge
this
committee
support
and
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
or
the
committee
may
have.
A
F
A
A
K
Thank
you
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
assembly
ways
and
means
brad
keating
for
the
record
representing
the
clark
county
school
district.
As
I
know,
the
agenda
is
busy
this
morning.
I
will
not
go
through
my
prepared
remarks
fully.
I
will
give
some
highlights
of
some
important
points.
Sb
450
is
important
for
one
simple
reason:
our
schools
are
aging
and
many
remain
overcrowded.
The
districts
has
more
than
10.8
billion
dollars
of
identified.
Near-Term
school
construction
project
needs
further.
64
percent
of
schools
in
ccsd
are
a
minimum
of
20
years
old.
K
Over
41
percent
of
those
schools
have
reached
or
exceeded
100
percent
school
capacity.
These
needs
will
compound
in
the
coming
years
and
nearly
100
schools
between
10
and
19
years.
We'll
need
predictable,
but
significant
capital
improvement
in
the
next
10
years.
As
the
majority
leader
spoke
about,
we
will
work
closely
through
our
board
of
school
trustees
and
our
bond
oversight
council
and
moving
these
projects
forward.
We've
provided
a
list
of
proposed
projects
to
you
through
the
exhibits.
K
One
thing
we
will
look
at
that's
important
to
us
is
the
available
seats
moving
forward.
The
few
available
seats
we
have
are
not
located
in
areas
where
dense
student
population
and
growth
exist.
Moreover,
ccsd
currently
has
2456
portable
classrooms.
The
useful
life
of
a
portable
classroom
is
20
years
old.
We
currently
have
651
portables
that
are
over
20
years
old
and
30
portables
that
were
built
before
1969.
K
The
central
purpose
of
this
bill
is
to
ensure
that
our
teachers
have
a
safe
and
effective
environment
to
teach
and
that
our
students
have
a
safe
and
effective
environment
to
learn
that
being
said,
sb
450
is
also
a
jobs.
Bill
extension
of
the
bond
rollover
will
free
up
approximately
2.9
billion
dollars
in
additional
resources
in
clark,
county
directly
and
indirectly
support
24
000
person,
years
of
employment
and
generate
1.3
billion
dollars
in
wages
and
salaries
for
nevada's
workers.
K
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
lindsay
anderson
on
behalf
of
the
washoe
county
school
district.
The
washoe
county
school
district's
journey
to
properly
address
school
construction
needs
has
been
long
and
winding,
although
maybe
not
as
bad
as
the
dmv
programming
road,
but
long
and
winding.
Nevertheless,
prior
to
2016
and
unlike
other
school
districts
across
the
state,
our
only
source
of
funding
for
school
construction
was
this
rollover
bond
revenue.
L
This
sales
tax,
along
with
the
property
tax
rate,
have
become
a
comprehensive
combination
of
funds
that
support
a
robust
capital
program,
averaging
over
100
million
in
annual
local
investments
that
is
addressing
both
new
construction
as
well
as
refurbishing.
Our
existing
aging
schools,
as
you
may
know,
schools
in
washoe
county
are
old,
with
the
average
age
of
our
schools
over
43
years.
L
L
Currently,
the
rollover
bond
proceeds
pay
for
approximately
half
of
our
funds
to
school,
modernization
and
revitalization
project
projects.
Losing
access
to
these
funds
would
significantly
impact
our
ability
to
keep
up
with
these
projects.
Our
current
10-year
projection
for
school
cip
totals
more
than
a
billion
dollars,
compounded
by
the
fact
that
current
construction
escalation
costs
are
alarming
and
risk
negatively,
impacting
our
ability
to
complete
these
projects.
With
the
current
available
revenue
loss
of
this
property,
tax
stream
would
decimate
our
ability
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
rapidly
growing
community.
L
Our
school
construction
program
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
oversight
between
our
capital
funding
protection
committee
oversight
panel
on
school
facilities
and
the
board
of
trustees.
Our
amazing
capital
projects
team
has
a
proven
track
record
of
delivering
projects
in
full
compliance
with
nevada
law
and
to
our
educational
specifications
on
time
and
on
budget.
We
ask
that
this
committee
acknowledge
this
track
record
and
the
clear
need
to
continue
investing
in
school
construction,
so
the
current
kindergarteners,
the
class
of
2032,
can
be
assured
a
school
facility
to
meet
their
needs.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
good
morning,
and
for
the
record
my
name
is
mary
parsinski.
I
represent
the
nevada
association
of
school
superintendents,
but
this
morning
I'm
addressing
the
needs
of
the
rural
districts.
You've
heard
about
washoe
and
clark
and
and
their
needs,
and
in
the
rural
districts.
There
is
a
great
need
as
well
to
continue
this
rollover.
F
Bond,
carson
city,
churchill,
douglas
humboldt
lion,
mineral
nye,
purging
story
and
white
pine
will
all
benefit
from
this
piece
of
legislation
and
rural
districts
use
the
money
for
routine
maintenance
on
their
buildings,
just
as
you
have
heard
from
clark
and
washoe.
But
let
me
give
you
some
examples
of
the
need.
In
the
rural
areas,
for
example,
in
white
pine
county
school
district,
the
oldest
continuously
operating
school
in
the
state
is
located
there,
david
norman
elementary
was
built
in
1909
and
it
has
been
a
school
for
112
years.
F
Another
school
in
the
county
has
been
continuously
operating
since
1909,
it's
white
pine
middle
school,
I'm
sorry
it
was
built
in
1913
and
it's
been
housing
students
for
108
years.
You
can
imagine
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
schools
like
this
to
keep
them
up
and
they're
in
constant
need
of
repair
and
modernization,
especially
with
all
the
new
technology.
F
Their
average
age
of
their
buildings
is
59
years
and
their
superintendent
reports
that
their
rollover
is
critical
for
their
building
maintenance,
persian
churchill,
carson
city
all
use
this
money
to
maintain
their
buildings,
which,
as
you
have
heard,
they're
getting
old
and
there's
just
needs
to
be
a
lot
of
infrastructure
for
the
technology
that
these
schools
need,
as
well
as
just
keeping
the
roofs
repaired,
so
we're
in
full
support
of
this
bond
of
this
bond
bill,
and
we
hope
that
you
can
support
our
rural
school
districts
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
C
You
so
much
chair
and
thank
you.
I
have
you
both
at
the
at
the
table.
I
know
that
we've
worked
for
many
years
on
this
capital
funding
issue,
and
I
know
that
one
of
the
frustrations
has
been
that
it's
confusing
for
the
public
oftentimes,
because
we
have
to
keep
coming
back
every
you
know,
10
years
or
so,
and
just
asking
them
are
you
sure
we
can
still
do
this
process?
Are
you
sure
we
can
still
use
this
money
and
then,
for
you
know
your
average
voter
they're
they're
confused,
because
they're
thinking
is
this
new
money?
C
Are
they
always
coming
back
and
asking
for
more
money
and
more
money?
And
it's
actually
just
reauthorizing
that
same
process
by
which
we
fund
our
schools?
And
so
could
you
just
help
us
understand
as
a
committee
that
this
solves
that
problem
and
that
it's
not
a
you
know
a
new
process
or
a
new
fee?
It's
just
helping
to
reduce
that
confusion
for
the
public
that
we
just
keep
asking
for
reauthorization
for
the
same
process.
L
Madam
chair
lindsey
anderson
for
the
washoe
county
school
district
through
you
to
assemblywoman
tools,
I
think
you
articulated
it
well
and
just
also
a
reminder.
School
districts
cannot
run
their
own
ballot
questions
and
so
a
separate
sort
of
community
based
committee
is
required
to
come
together
fund
a
ballot
question
campaign
to
do
exactly
what
you
just
articulated
ask
for
continued
permission
of
the
same
amount
of
property
tax.
So
I
can
confirm
that
this
extension
does
not
increase
the
property
tax
rate
at
all.
A
Thank
you
committee
members,
any
other
questions
at
this
time,
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you,
ladies
very
much
nice
to
see
you
so
with
that
any
other
presenters
on
the
bill
not
seeing
any
other
presenters
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
support
opposition
and
neutral
on
sb
450,
with
that
those
in
support
in
the
room.
A
B
B
B
B
The
chamber
does
believe
the
school
district
in
clark
county
has
done
an
excellent
job
of
managing
these
dollars
and
have
built
quality
education
facilities,
as
you've
also
heard.
This
will
allow
other
resources
to
be
made
available
for
other
commitments
in
the
school
district
by
reallocating
those
dollars
and
for
this
construction
dollars.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today's
morning,.

I'm
here
representing

We
are
here
in
strong
support
of
senate
bill
450..
We
want
to
mention
the
2500
portables
that
are
currently
on
clark:
county

approximately
62

to

tom

Corp,
we're

B
D
On
behalf
of
the
clark
county,
school
district's
partnership
council
served
on
the
council
for
more
than
20
years,
and
during
that
time
I
would
say
all
of
us
on
that.
Council
have
really
come
to
appreciate
the
pressing
need
for
capital
funding
for
refurbish
and
rebuild
in
many
areas
of
the
older
schools
in
in
southern
nevada.
D
So
the
council
has
come
to
that
insight
through
some
of
the
programs
that
are
offered
by
the
partnership
office
and
I'm
thinking
of
programs
such
as
focus
school
in
which
a
school
that
is
high
risk
is
matched
with
a
business
and
they
come
up
with
very
unique
solutions
to
improve
education
great
program.
So
anyway,
the
need
to
fix
schools,
coupled
with
the
need
to
construct
new
schools
in
our
growing
community
are
the
reasons
we
support.

we

all

and
I
just
want
to
add
to
the

of
the
young

saying.
Regarding
the
other
school,
there
is
the
title:
one
school,
sierra

other
many

that
need
this
update
with

and
I
am
the
deputy
executive
director
with
clark
county
association
of

administrators
and
professional
technical
employees.
Our
organization
represents
approximately
1
300
clark,
county
school
district
administrators,
of
which
98
of
those
eligible
to
join
our
association
are
current
members.
M
We
would
like
to
voice
our
support
for
senate
bill
450
as
a
former
principal
and
school
associate
superintendent,
I'm
well
aware
of
the
need
to
build
modernize
and
replace
schools
and
systems
which
are
in
constant
need
of
repair.
Each
year
like
clockwork
hvac
systems
at
schools
fail
in
100
degree
plus
weather,
sometimes
forcing
evacuation
of
students
and
staff.
M
Older
buildings
that
have
served
their
life
span
are
routinely
unable
to
be
repaired
due
to
lack
of
available
parts
and
equipment.
Students,
parents
and
community
members
grow
impatient
as
older,
overcrowded
and
inefficient
buildings
are
serviced
over
and
over
again
in
hopes
that
permanent
fixes
are
on
their
way
senate
bill.
450
will
provide
school
board
trustees,
the
flexibility
to
approve
bonds.
In
order
to
rectify
these
deficiencies.
M
This
will
allow
students,
staff
and
administrators
to
work,
learn
and
play
in
a
more
stable,
comfortable
educational
learning,
environment,
new
and
improved
facilities,
instill
pride
in
a
sense
of
ownership
with
members
of
school
communities,
increased
retention
and
recruitment
of
highly
qualified
staff
is
a
byproduct
of
well-maintained,
efficient
and
modern
buildings
and
systems.
We
ask
for
your
support
for
senate
bill
450
so
that
our
communities
can
continue
to
keep
pace
with
the
growing
needs
of
our
school
districts.

I

nevada,
pta
we
are
in
support
of
sb
450
as
a
needed
measure
to
ensure
students
and
staff
have
safe
and
modern
schools
in
which
to
learn
as
our
state
grows.
It
is
essential
that
new
schools
can
be
built
to
address
chronically
overcrowded
classrooms
and
make
certain
aging
schools
are
repaired
or
a
place
to
provide
the
best
possible
education
environment
for
all
students.
N
A
E
N
I
like
to
testify
in
opposition,
I'm
listening
to
this
and
I'm
hearing
all
of
these
people.
Oh
they
care
so
much
about
the
children.
The
kids
haven't
even
been
in
the
schools.
N
I
want
to
know
where
my
property
taxes
went
for
the
schools,
which
is
a
considerable
amount
and
you
guys
can
spend
money
faster
than
anybody.
I've
ever
seen.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
we
did
ask
for
neutral
in
the
room
we
were
going
to
neutral
on
the
phone
lines
had
to
go
back
around
the
corner
and
come
back
at
it
so
neutral
on
the
phone
lines.
Please.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I
don't
believe
any
closing
comments
are
really
necessary.
I
think
everybody
in
the
phone
book
spoke
for
this
fairly
well,
so
with
that
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
sb
450..
This
is
an
sb.
Therefore,
it
has
no
deadlines
with
this
committee
right
now,
so
when
the
time
is
appropriate,
we
will
move
this
bill,
but
we'll
bring
it
we'll
bring
it
back
to
the
committee
for
for
conversation.
A
So
with
that
we
are
done
with
sb
450.
The
next
bills
on
our
agenda
in
the
batting
order
are
the
three
election
bills,
and
I
believe
that
is
speaker.
Fryerson's.
H
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
jason:
fryer
sent
assemblyman
and
district
eight
speaker
of
the
nevada
state
assembly,
and
I
am
here
to
present
ab126,
which
would
move
nevada
to
be
the
first
state
in
the
nation
in
a
presidential
nominating
process
and
changed
our
current
presidential
presidential
nominating
caucus
system
to
a
primary.
H
H
As
you
can
see,
there
is
no
fiscal
note
during
the
upcoming
biennium
for
for
this
bill,
because
our
next
presidential
primary
will
not
be
until
2024.
and
so
we'll
have
time
to
plan
for
the
associated
costs
and
include
them
in
the
budget
for
the
next
biennium.
H
Our
voices
are
diverse
and
better
reflect
the
rest
of
the
country
than
the
current
nominating
structure
and
it's
time
for
nevada
to
take
its
rightful
place,
as
I
believe
not
just
in
the
west,
but
first
in
the
nation,
as
a
diverse
state,
a
state
with
diverse
issues,
not
just
constituents
but
diverse
issues
and
a
state-
that's
small
enough
and
manageable
enough
for
candidates
to
come
here,
not
only
for
nevada
to
get
attention,
but
for
candidates
to
be
able
to
make
their
case
before
the
kind
of
constituency.
H
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chairing,
and
jason
fryerson
for
the
record.
It's
essentially
6.5
is
the
section
of
substance
that
is
proposed
to
be
deleted.
All
of
the
other
sections
throughout
the
bill
are
are
conforming
language
adjustment,
language,
but
it's
the
substantive
section,
is
6.5.
A
A
You're
ahead
of
me,
let
me
tell
you
so
with
that
committee
members
open
it
up
for
questions
of
the
speaker
at
this
time,
dr
titus.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
just
for
again
I
maybe
I
haven't
had
as
much
coffee
as
you
have
this
morning,
but
I'm
looking
at
the
bill
and
I
don't
see
a
6.5,
so
I
see
a
six
section
six
and
then
a
one
two
three,
but
I'm
sorry,
I'm
just
want
to
catch
up.
F
A
C
H
I
thank
you,
madam
chair
again
for
the
record
jason
ryerson.
I
I
don't
want
to
oversimplify
the
issue,
but
there's
not
a
presidential
primary
during
this
biennium,
and
so
the
costs
associated
with
the
policy
change
would
be
in
a
subsequent
biennium,
particularly
with
respect
to
the
state.
H
Thank
you.
I
do
see
representative
from
the
secretary
of
state's
office
as
well
as
a
clark
county
registrar,
so
if
they
have
a
different
different
perspective,
that's
certainly
their
prerogative,
but
there's
no
presidential
primary.
This
biennium.
C
H
Not
to
preempt
them,
but
I
frequently
scratch
my
head
about
some
of
the
fiscal
notes
that
are
submitted,
and
so
I
I
would
submit
we're
probably
going
to
talk
about
some
of
those
today
as
well.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
with
that
we
can
go
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office
if
you'd
like
to
have
a
brief
response
and
then
I'll
go
to
mr
gloria,
if
needed
so
secretary
of
state's
office,.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
good
morning,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee
or
colossians
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections
for
the
record.
The.
H
G
Clearly
excelled
due
to
the
negative
fiscal
impact
it
will
have
on
the
state
if
ab-126
is
passed,
the
office
and
secretary
of
state
reimburse
county
expenses
due
to
the
provisions
in
section
49,
stating
that
the
cost
of
the
presidential
preference
primary
election
is
a
charge
against
the
state
and
must
be
paid
for
from
the
reserve
statutory
contingency
account.
Additionally,
nac
293.200
requires
the
secretary
of
state
to
reimburse
the
counties
for
the
cost
of
basic
stock
for
ballots.
G
B
G
Down
these
costs
that
we
assess
in
this
into
three
categories.
The
first
was
calculated
based
on
cost
estimates
gathered
from
each
of
the
17
counties.
It
includes
the
anticipated
cost
of
ballot
stock
and
other
costs
that
the
counties
would
likely
ask
for
reimbursement.
Ultimately,
though,
and
based
on
section
49
of
the
bill,
the
secretary
of
state
would
recommend
to
the
board
of
examiners
exactly
what
those
costs
to
the
state
would
be.
G
The
second
cost
focus
on
voter
outreach
and
education
to
be
an
important
part
of
our
statewide
effort
to
clarify
for
voters
how
the
new
presidential
preference
primary
would
work.
That
would
include
details
of
the
timeline
and
other
provisions
of
note.
Our
total
marketing
budget,
as
an
agency,
is
only
900
per
fiscal
year,
and
none
of
that
is
in
the
elections
budget.
It's
income,
it's
for
commercial
recordings
whose
rates
speak
for
themselves
and
need
very
little
advertisement.
Hence
the
anticipated
marketing
costs
associated
with
this
bill.
G
Finally,
the
third
cost
estimate
focuses
on
an
increase
in
temporary
workers
needed
to
address
the
increased
volume
of
phone
calls,
emails
and
other
public
inquiries
that
these
additional
elections
would
bring.
This
estimate
is
based
on
our
temporary
labor
costs
for
the
2020
general
election
and
thank
you
for
your
time
unavailable
for
questions.
A
And
yes,
the
question
is:
why
would
you
submit
a
fiscal
note
on
something
that
will
not
on
impact
us
in
this
biennium
this
legislature?
This
committee
deals
with
the
budget
for
this
biennium
only.
Why
would
you
submit
a
fiscal
note
on
something
that
will
not
impact
your
office
within
the
next
two
years?
There'll
be
another
legislative
session
where
this
fiscal
note
would
be
much
more
appropriate.
G
Yes,
ma'am
mark
lawson,
the
director.
We
were
asked
to
provide
information
on
the
fiscal
assessment.
Well,
we
looked
closely
if
there
were
going
to
be
changes
and
we
wanted
to
identify
that,
at
least
in
this
biennium
for
your
decision
making
that
there
is
a
zero
impact
to
the
state.
So
while
there
are
costs
associated
with
future
biennia,
it's
important
for
us
to
identify
that
at
least
right
now
it
is
zero,
but
there
will
be
something
later
on
down
the
line.
A
Thank
you.
We
appreciate
that.
I'm
really
glad
other
agencies
don't
do
that
it
would.
We
would
never
get
done
in
120
days.
So
with
that
committee
members,
any
other
questions,
miss
tolls.
Did
you
have
a
follow-up
just
a.
D
Thank
you,
madam
sharon.
This
be
for
the
secretary
of
state's
office.
I
understand
that
this
this
budget
cycle,
it
doesn't
have
a
physical
impact
and
his
fiscal
note
was
based
off
of
the
future.
Just
curious.
If
you
moved
everything
to
one
primary,
what
would
the?
What
would
the
impact
be
then
like,
if
you
moved
all
the
primaries
or
aligned
all
the
primaries?
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
velocity
for
the
record.
Yes,
sir,
absolutely
that
would
have
an
impact,
but
it
would
be
significantly
lower
because,
as
you
mentioned,
if
we
lined
up
the
primaries
with
the
other
existing
elections,
those
costs
are
already
accounted
for.
The
counties
the
state
have
already
identified
those
fiscal
impacts
to
the
state.
This
would
just
simply
be
a
modification
to
the
ballot
with
minor
adjustments,
otherwise
not
the
establishment
of
a
brand
new
election,
as
this
bill
implies.
H
Madam
chair,
if,
if
if
I
may
make
a
note
with
respect
to
something
robert's
question,
I
would
no,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that,
while
it
might
not
have
as
great
of
an
impact
on
the
state,
it
would
certainly
have
an
impact
on
local
government
who
has
to
implement
it,
and-
and
that
is
the
reason
why
I
propose
to
take
it
out.
H
It's
because
of
that
impact
for
by
the
people
who
actually
have
to
implement
it
in
conversations
both
with
our
local
elected
officials
and
with
the
courts
that
it
would
create
problems
outside
of
our
state
budget
that
that
outweighed.
I
think
the
benefits,
as
we
originally
contemplated.
O
Thank
you
so
much.
I
really
think
this
is.
This
is
really
exciting
and
I
don't
want
it
to
be
lost
through
all
of
this.
I'm
not
offended
by
the
fiscal
note,
because
I
think
this
is
the
direction
we
should
go
in
and
fund
it
and
fund
it
to
make
it
right
and
that'll
be
a
future
legislature's
issue
with
it.
O
But
you
know
I'm
affectionately
attached
to
our
caucus
system,
but
also
know
that
it's
time
to
evolve
and
move
on
and
to
think
that
we
could
be
having
this
kind
of
conversation,
I
think
is,
is
really
a
privilege
because
it
talks
so
much
about.
I
think
the
landscape
of
nevadans
and
how
much
nevadans
have
engaged
in
this
process.
I
will
mourn
having
to
give
up.
You
know
spending
time
at
the
you
know,
volunteering
for
caucuses
days
on
end
for
for
this
process,
but
that's
okay,
because
we
will
get
a
better
process.
O
I
think
what
we
saw
from
some
of
the
other
changes
that
we
made
good
changes.
We
made
in
our
election
laws
that
if
we
make
the
process
easier
to
engage
in
people
we'll
engage,
we
have
an
electorate
that
cares.
We
have
an
electorate
that
wants
to
show
up,
and
all
we
have
to
do
is
remove
barriers
and
they
will
engage
in
a
way
that
our
founders,
absolutely
dreamed
of.
So
I'm
excited
about
this.
A
Other
questions
from
other
committee
members
at
this
time,
not
seeing
anything
else,
mr
speaker,
did
you
have
anyone
else.
You
wish
to
present
anything
at
this
time,
if
not
we'll
move
into
the
support
opposition
neutral
portion
of
the
bill,
good,
all
righty.
So
with
that
this
being
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill,
126
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
support
here
in
the
room.
K
K
A
N
A
A
Not
seeing
anyone
else
in
the
room
in
support
we'll
go
to
the
phone
lines
support
on
the
phone,
please.
E
N
N
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
opposition
to
assembly
bill
126,
not
seeing
anyone
come
forward
if
we
could
go
to
the
phone
lines,
anyone
in
opposition
of
126.
E
I
D-E-G-R-A-F-F-E-N-R-E-I-D,
I
represent
nevada
on
the
republican
national
committee,
and
the
nevada
republican
party
is
firmly
in
opposition
to
this
bill.
The
fiscal
note
on
this
bill
estimates
the
cost
of
a
primary
election
at
well
over
5
million
dollars,
given
the
budget
situation
in
nevada.
This
is
not
a
good
use
of
state
resources,
particularly
when
our
party
has
demonstrated
the
ability
to
hold
a
successful
caucus
with
participation
rivaling
that
of
a
primary
election.
We
heard.
M
I
Today,
under
ab-488
that
there
are
other
needs
in
nevada,
taxpayers
know
what
the
legislature
apparently
does
not,
namely
the
government
resources
are
not
unlimited
and
the
job
of
the
legislature
is
to
prioritize
limited
resources
to
the
most
critical
needs.
This
bill
is
not
an
important
need
for
the
state.
Nevada
is
already
first
in
the
west,
and
it
is
not
possible
for
us
to
become
first
in
the
nation.
New
hampshire
has
a
state
law
that
says
they
must
hold
the
first
primary
in
the
nation
and
they
will
hold
their
primary
as
early
as
necessary
to
remain.
I
First,
we
have
no
ability
to
change
the
laws
of
the
state
of
new
hampshire,
and
so
this
is
a
waste
of
our
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
chase
that
impossible
goal
to
address
the
sounding
robert's
question
on
holding
the
full
primary
election
in
february.
That
would
resolve
the
fiscal
issue,
but
it
will
come
at
the
cost
of
starting
our
filing
an
election
season
at
the
end
of
the
prior
year,
which
would
require
our
clerks
and
their
staff
to
work
on
the
election
during
the
holidays.
I
E
M
M
Let's
just
keep
our
caucuses
and
allow
the
political
parties
to
determine
how
they
reflect
their
nominees
for
president,
I'm
sure
we
can,
with
with
the
way
the
economy
is
going
and
could
go
in
the
future.
I'm
sure
that
that
5.5
million
dollars
would
be
well
served
someplace
else,
so
please
oppose
this
bill.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
E
M
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
speaker
fryer
said:
did
you
have
any
closing
comments.
H
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
jason
fryerson.
I
will
only
close
by
wanting
to
clarify,
because
one
caller
indicated
that
they
had
just
found
out
about
this,
that
this
isn't
new,
that
we've
had
a
substantive
hearing
that
this
has
been.
Certainly
at
the
very
least,
I
don't
remember
the
date
of
the
initial
hearing
but
weeks
in
the
making,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
misconception
about
whether
or
not
this
has
already
been
out
there.
H
It
has
and
has
already
had
a
substantive
hearing,
but
with
that
I
would
thank
the
committee
for
their
time
and
attention.
A
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
again
for
the
record.
Jason
fryer
sent
us
some
men
for
district
8,
speaker
nevada,
state
assembly.
I
thank
you
for
your
time
in
consideration
of
assembly
bill
321,
which
continues
what
we
accomplished
with
ab4
that
was
passed
during
the
32nd
special
session.
H
We
have
worked
with
county
election
officials
and
secretary
of
state's
office
to
build
upon
the
success
of
ab4
and
the
male
primary
election
that
the
secretary
of
state
ran
to
develop
a
system
that
continues
to
expand
freedoms
of
nevadans
to
vote
briefly,
ab321
provides
for
mail-in
ballots
for
all
elections,
while
strengthening
election
processes
and
aligning
other
election-related
deadlines
and
requirements.
H
Again.
Madam
chair,
we
have
already
had
a
substantive
hearing,
so
I
will
address
the
the
fiscal
note
of
the
reason
why
we're
here
today.
I
would
note
that
the
secretary
of
state's
office
has
submitted
a
fiscal
note
of
approximately
5.7
million
dollars
per
year.
However,
that
is
not
consistent
with
what
the
the
governor's
finance
office
reports
as
having
been
what
was
reimbursed
in
the
previous
election
cycle.
That
was
approximately
three
million
dollars
in
2020
with
900
000.
H
That
was
not
reimbursed,
and
so
what
you're
looking
at
is
what
was
reflected
in
2020
as
3.9
million
dollars
and
what
is
reflected
in
the
fiscal
note,
moving
forward,
which
is
5.7
million
dollars
by
the
secretary
of
state's
office,
which
simply
doesn't
necessarily
reflect
the
reality
of
a
past
presidential
prime
presidential
election
cycle
versus
the
non-presidential
upcoming,
where
the
turnout
that
would
be
lower-
and
I
think
that
it
would
be
up
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office
to
address
why
it
would
be
so
much
more.
H
This
upcoming
election
cycle
than
it
would
be
than
it
was
in
the
most
recent
election
cycle.
Recognizing
also
that
when
we
open
up
these
these
issues,
I
think
there's
a
tendency
for
folks
to
look
for
the
ideal
and
say
well
since
we're
opening
up
anyway.
Let's
find
an
ideal
way
to
do
all
of
this,
which
is
not
always
necessary
or
or
practical,
and
so
with
that.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
make
clear,
what's
different
from
next
election
cycle,
that
we
didn't
experience
this
past
election
cycle.
A
A
We
have
a
current
fiscal
note
from
the
secretary
of
state's
office,
but
we
have
confirmed
the
previous
expenses
through
the
gfo
and
that
was
3.9
million,
3
million
of
it,
which
was
reimbursed
900
000,
which
was
not
reimbursed.
So
there
seems
to
be
a
delta
between
what
we
actually
spent
last
time
and
what
they're
prospectively
thinking
we're
going
to
spend
next
time.
Even
though
it's
a
midterm-
and
it
tends
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
different
situation
in
a
midterm.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
mark
velasco
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections
for
the
record
I'll
start
by
addressing
the
speaker's
concerns.
First
of
all,
he
mentioned
and
commented
on
the
fact
that
the
turnout
would
be
lower,
but
I
think
perhaps
maybe
then
I'm
missing
something
8321
proposes
to
send
a
a
mail
ballot
to
every
active
registered
voter
period.
So
so
turnout
really
doesn't
affect
the
midterm
any
more
than
it
would
a
general
election
as
every
one
of
the
1.8
million
register
active
registered
voters
that
we
have
would
be
receiving
that
ballot.
G
Those
costs
that
I
identified
were
in
reference
to
that.
The
fact
that
again,
1.8
million
ballots
would
be
printed
and
mailed
to
those
individuals
across
the
state,
regardless
of
their
turnout.
We
certainly
would
try
to
increase
turnout
to
make
the
the
expenditure
pay
for
those
ballots
more
worthwhile,
so
to
speak,
but
but
turnout
really
as
it
relates
to
321,
doesn't
necessarily
have
an
impact.
Our.
A
Sure
that
we're
we're
clear-
because
I
want
this
to
be
crystal
clear,
so
you're
saying
that
there
really
wouldn't
be
a
difference
between
the
cost
of
last
election
and
the
cost
of
this
next
election,
because
you
would
mail
ballots
to
everyone
anyway.
So
that
leads
to
my
next
question
if
it
was
3.9
last
time,
why
is
there
an
increased
number
this
time
with
your
statement
that
this
would
be
the
same.
G
Two
reasons:
one
increase
in
ballot
drop
boxes.
We
use
121
ballot,
I'm
sorry.
We
identified
121
dropboxes
in
our
initial
fiscal
note.
That
number
would
more
realistically
go
over
221
and
again
an
estimate
of
about
1500
each
to
just
to
purchase
and
not
even
to
install
and
then
two
fact
matter
is
again.
G
We
did
not
reimburse
the
counties
for
quite
a
bit
of
money
that
they
spent
on
this
last
election
cycle
case
in
point
clark,
county
specifically
for
their
ballot
stock
historically
have
spent
around
between
seven
and
forty
thousand
dollars,
twenty
twenty
general
election.
They
spent
seven
hundred
and
seventy
eight
thousand
dollars.
We
only
compensated
them
for
eleven
000,
based
on
our
historic.
What
we've
provided
in
the
past
costs
like
those
are
the
ones
that
we
identified
and
put
into
our
fiscal
bill
that
got
it
to
the
numbers
that
we
have
currently.
A
G
Mark
velasco,
thank
you
for
the
question
chair.
Carlton
did
not
reimburse
them
in
part
because
cares
act,
ab4
money
there
were
other
means
for
them
to
to
get
funding
for
those
bills,
as
I
understand
it
again
to
clarify
that
occurred
and
that
those
discussions
were
were
had
prior
to
my
assumption
of
this
role,
but
I
can
look
into
it
and
I'll
get
you
some
more
information.
If
there's
something
different.
M
A
Work
was
put
in
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
in
the
state
could
vote
no
matter
what
they
were
facing
at
that
time
so
being
able
to
compare
to
that
is
good
in
some
ways,
but
not
necessarily
the
truest
form
of
measure,
because
it
was
a
different.
We
were
all
in
a
different
moment
in
time.
So
thank
you
for
elaborate.
Elaborating
on
that,
and
those
of
us
from
clark
county
always
want
to
know
what
the
impacts
to
clark
county
would
be.
G
G
Thank
you
again
mark
velasco
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections
for
the
record.
The
office
of
the
secretary
of
state
is
opposed
to
this
bill.
Due
is
the
negative
impact
that
we'll
have
on
the
stage.
A
If
you're
gonna
go
into
opposition,
I'm
gonna
have
to
ask
you
to
wait.
This
was
more
for
informational
purposes
in
a
presentation
mode
of
the
bill,
if
you're
in
opposition
I'll
take
you
when
we
get
to
the
opposition.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
yes,
ma'am!
Thank
you!
Yeah!
We
just
want
to
make
sure
the
record
is
clear
and
everybody's
in
the
right
category
when
we
need
them
to
be
so
with
that
committee
members.
A
C
Ms
thank
you
chair
and,
and
so
just
to
wrap
my
head
around
the
process
right
of
and
the
costs
involved.
So
we
have
the
costs
of
the
the
card
stock,
the
the
postage
going
out
and
then
postage
coming
back
correct.
So
if,
for
some
reason
that
was
rejected,
we
incur
the
cost
for
that
postage
of
those
ballots
being
returned
and
and
then
we
have
also
the
back
end
processing
where
we
have
our
election
officials
and
workers
facilities
for
space
to
have
to
to
go
through
processing
all
those
mail-in
ballots.
G
There
was
one
other
element
that
you,
I
think
is
worthy
of
calling
out
the
requirement
for
additional
election
workers
with
an
increased
number
of
ballot
drop
boxes,
there's
kind
of
a
balance
that
the
county
clerks
are
going
to
have
to
look
at
to
achieve
where,
if
they
have
less
boxes
there
may
be
bigger,
then
there's
still
a
number
of
bipartisan
teams
that
will
have
to
go
out
to
each
of
these
drop
boxes
in
their
unique
locations
so
that
that
cost
election
workers
is
a
very
significant
cost
to
the
counties.
C
Thank
you
for
that
and
and
follow
up
if
I
made
just
for
informational,
okay
I'll
make
it
really
quick.
So
do
we
know
how
many
ballots
were
returned
from
the
last
election
cycle
because
they
were,
you
know,
do
we
have
a
report
on
that?
It
may
have
been
fleshed
out
in
in
the
policy
discussion,
but
because
it
has
a
fiscal
impact
that
might
give
us
a
better
idea
of
just
how
much
postage
was
burned
on
on
return
ballots
thanks.
G
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
veloson
for
the
record.
We
do
have
that
information.
It'll.
Take
me
about
a
second
to
pull
it
up.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
did
mail
out
again:
1.8
million
ballots
to
the
entire
active
registered
voter
population
of
the
state
prior
to
the
2020
general
election
cycle,
and
only
38
of
those
were
actually
cast
either
mailed
in
or
brought
to
their
clerk's
office
as
part
of
the
election.
Again,
the
the
rough
numbers
on
that.
G
I
believe
it
was
about
six
hundred
thousand
that
were
totally
used.
F
F
Actually,
a
lot
of
the
discussion
has
been
a
the
need
for
this
is
to
actually
increase
voter
turnout,
and
so
this
question
is
regarding
the
cost
versus
the
actual
increased
percent
of
voter
turnout
and
it's
been
thrown
out
that
we
had
a
maximum
increase
of
voters
this
time
around
and
what
I'd
really
like
to
do
is
compare
apples
to
apples
and
on
the
last
presidential
election
cycle,
it's
been
my
understanding
that
that
we
didn't
really
have
a
significant.
F
A
O
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
the
question
so
one
of
the
things
that
that
is
in
this
bill
that
we
see
is,
we
do
see
an
opt-out
provision
so
that
folks,
who
do
not
want
to
vote
by
mail,
can
remove
themselves
from
that
process
and
send
a
really
affirmative
statement
to
the
registrar
voters
office
that
they
intend
to
do
the
process
in
person.
Do
you
have
some
analysis
about
how
that
impacts?
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
colossians
the
record
absolutely,
and
if
assuming
that
some
people
want
321
passes,
that
would
be
an
important
part
of
our
voter
education,
the
idea
being
that
if
we
can
identify
the
voters
and
explain
to
them
how
what
that
process
looks
like
to
opt
out
of
receiving
a
mail-in
ballot,
every
single
person
we
identify
is
cost
savings
to
the
county
and
to
the
state.
Ultimately,
there's
there's
less
work
for
the
county
clerks
to
have
to
take
care
of
it.
They
have
less.
G
So
in
regards
to
the
fiscal
impact,
I
we
don't
have
a
specific
number,
because
it's
again
kind
of
hard
to
assess
how
many
folks
would
be
interested
in
opting
out.
That
is
something
that
we
take
very
seriously
and
are
looking
very
closely
at
to
make
sure
you
get
the
word
out,
because
that
would
be
cost
savings
to
the
state,
ultimately
reducing
the
fiscal
impact.
O
Thank
you
so
much
so
we
so
when
I
read
this,
I
should
know
that
you're
working
on
the
assumption
that
every
single
person
that
stays
engaged
in
the
process
when
I'm
looking
at
these
numbers-
I'm
not
you,
don't
already-
have
assumptions
built
in
here
about
a
certain
percentage
of
the
population
who
might
engage
and
not
opt
out.
The
assumptions
and
the
numbers
I'm
seeing
are
100
engagement
through
ballot
process.
O
Okay,
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
ask
about
was
the
the
the
ballot
boxes,
and
so,
as
I
read
the
fiscal
note,
the
high
quality
ballot
boxes
range
from
500
to
thousand
dollars,
and
all
all
of
that,
I
guess
tell
me
about
the
types
of
we
obviously
purchased
some
of
these
for
the
last
election
cycle
and
have
some.
So
I
guess,
is
this:
assuming
just
replacement
boxes
are
these
assuming
an
increase
in
in
overall
quantity
of
boxes.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Mark
lost
the
record
our
analysis
and
discussion
about
the
ballot
boxes
that
resulted
in
that
part
of
or
that
portion
of
our
fiscal
note
was
really
a
blank
slate.
G
We
understand
that
the
counties
did
purchase
some
ballot
boxes
for
use,
haven't
had
a
detailed
discussion
with
them
about
if
they
were
satisfied
with
them,
if
they
weren't,
if
they
intend
to
keep
them
if
in
some
cases
they
only
held
on
to
them
for
a
short
period
of
time,
we
did
identify
through
our
discussions
with
other
states,
though,
that
ballot
boxes,
especially
in
states
that
have
universal
vote
by
mail.
There
is
a
percentage
of
between
two
and
five
percent
of
the
total
ballot
boxes
that
have
to
be
maintained
or
replaced
each
year.
G
So
we
attempted
to
account
for
that
as
well
in
our
discussions
and
then
lastly,
we
did
not
talk
necessarily
about
the
specific
locations
street
intersections,
specifically
that
that
sort
of
thing
where
each
of
these
ballot
boxes
would
go
ultimately
with
the
clerks.
We
would
work
with
them
to
identify
those
locations
to
see
if
certain
areas
require
bigger
ones
or
smaller
ones.
Again,
balancing
that
requirement
to
then
also
pay
for
workers
to
go
to
these
ballot
boxes
to
empty
them.
G
O
If
I
could
get
a
little
bit
more
specific-
and
it's
not
a
large
number
we're
talking
about
here-
it's
196
thousand
dollars
so
tell
me
about
what
that
is
based
off.
So
that's
based
on
the
two
to
five
percent
replacement
number
that
you
you
talked
about.
G
O
G
Additionally,
we
started
again.
The
fiscal
note
we
submitted
was
based
on
the
as
written
bill,
with
an
estimate
of
approximately
one
box
for
15
000
active
registered
voters,
which
is
something
that's
a
bit
of
a
best
practice
to
be
identified
in
talking
with
some
counterparts
across
the
country.
G
Since
the
amended
version
of
bill
has
come
out
again
now,
it
says:
there's
a
requirement
for
a
ballot
dropbox
at
every
polling
location
and
allows
for
the
clerks
to
establish
drop
boxes
at
other
locations,
which
would
be
again
more
in
keeping
with
with
what
they
did
during
the
2020
election
cycle.
Ultimately,
getting
us
the
220
drop
boxes.
G
But
again
we
did
account
for
and
discuss
in
our
initial
planning
assessment
of
what
that
replacement
schedule
would
look
like.
O
Perfect,
thank
you
so
much
mob
chair
and
for
I
think
we
have
some
that
the
the
counties
at
least
clark
county
who
might
be
available.
So
if
it's
okay,
when
we
get
to
that
point,
I'm
gonna
have
the
same
question
about
kind
of
some
of
that
opt-out
and
what
the
the
thinking
is
around.
How
that
might
impact
card
stock.
B
Chair
the
majority
leader
asked
my
questions
about
the
ballot
boxes.
I
was
kind
of
curious
about
what
happened
to
those
boxes
from
the
last
election,
where
they
kept,
who
purchased
them
the
the
secretary
of
state
or
the
counties
themselves.
But
my
next
question
was
about
the
voter
education.
Could
you
let
us
know
what
you
currently
do
for
voter
education
and
outreach
when
it
comes
to
elections
and
how
much
you
currently
spend
on
that.
G
Outreach,
yes,
ma'am,
thanks
for
the
question
mark
velasco
for
the
record,
so
our
voter
education
campaigns
up
to
this
point
have
been
fairly
low,
low
cost
and
certainly
low
impact.
The
state
in
part,
because
again,
over
the
last
few
years
as
again,
has
been
explained
to
me,
the
voter
outreach
that
we
do
is
typically
in
person
visits
to
conferences,
various
organizations
that
request
the
secretary
of
state
to
come,
talk
and
and
discuss
what
voter
education
looks
like.
But
again,
there's
really
been
a
sea
change.
G
We've
identified
over
the
last
election
cycle,
where,
where
previously
voters
would
ask,
how
do
I
register
to
vote?
Can
you
talk
me
through
the
19th
amendment,
and
and
now
the
questions
are
more
focused
on
from
the
time
I
touch
a
screen.
How
does
that?
G
How
does
my
my
vote
go
from
there
to
ultimately
being
in
front
of
the
supreme
court
as
part
of
that
that
aggregate
for
their
canvas
and
having
to
explain
a
lot
of
the
very
specific,
detailed
technical
aspects
of
the
elections
process,
which,
again,
from
our
point
of
view,
is
great?
The
more
people
know
that
the
less
likely
they
are
to
be
suspicious,
the
more
transparency
there
is
in
the
process.
G
The
more
folks
realize
that,
again,
the
machines
that
we
use
for
voting
in
person
that
the
processes
that
we
use
for
mail-in
ballots-
it's
not
magic,
it's
not
mystery.
It's
we
follow
the
statutes
again,
the
clerks
and
across
the
state
and
the
office
of
secretary
of
state
work
closely
together
to
make
sure
regulations
are
as
they
need
to
be
to
the
benefit
of
the
voters.
G
So
currently
our
voter
education
campaign,
or
really
again
from
this
point
looking
back,
it
has
been
fairly
minimal
and
low
cost,
because
we
do
not
as
an
as
a
division
the
elections
division
does
not
have
a
marketing
budget
at
all.
That
is
something
that
I've
identified
already
with
the
team
and
we've
discussed
built,
putting
into
our
our
actually
80
second
special
our
session
budget
build
we've
already
incorporated
that
into
there
recognizing
that
going
forward.
We
do
need
to
have
more
active
outreach
program,
something
that,
frankly,
has
to
be
sustained.
G
That
needs
to
be
the
sort
of
outreach
campaign
that
will
reach
not
only
current
residents,
but
also
the
folks
that
are
moving
to
clark
county
next
week
or
up
the
washoe
or
anywhere
in
the
rurals,
so
that
there's
a
sustained
amount
of
information
going
out
there
so
that
again,
we're
hitting
the
new
electorate
every
year
when
folks
turn
18
or
move
to
the
state
and
given
the
transient
nature
of
our
state.
It's
a
particularly
hard
project
to
work
on.
G
B
Thank
you
for
the
long
explanation,
yes,
and
no
your
fiscal
notes
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
both
of
the
upcoming
fiscal
years,
but
you
haven't
really
said
what
you're
going
to
be
doing.
Are
you
paying
for
staff?
Are
you
paying
for
attending
meetings?
Is
that
travel
expenses
that
you're
incurring
because
you've
already
talked
about
the
stock,
the
ballot
stock?
So
it's
not
that
is
it
661
thousand
dollars
in
employee
fees
or
hr?
I
don't
get
it.
I
don't
understand.
G
I
apologize
for
not
clarifying
mark
velasco
for
the
record.
The
the
two
fiscal
note
years
and
dollar
values
that
you
identified,
the
661
000
into
two
separate
fiscal
years
are
modeled
off
after
the
the
campaign
that
we
did
following
the
passage
of
ab4,
so
that
would
include
ads
on
the
internet
that
would
include
facebook
type
ads
again
to
get
social
media
type
involvement
to
get
advertisements
out
there.
G
B
G
I
understand
the
question
mark
velocity
record,
not
processes,
then
I
apologize
previously
what
those
that
what
that
money
went
towards
was
a
contract
with
an
organization
that
did
outreach
and
public
awareness
that
that
money
paid
for
very
specific
targeted
ads
that
described
the
the
84
and
made
folks
aware
of
what
was
going
to
happen
prior
to
the
2020
general
election.
This
was
not
additional
staff.
There
were
not
additional
processes
identified,
though.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
other
questions
from
any
other
communities,
mr
roberts,
mr
levitt,
but
we
do
need
to
roll
along.
K
A
D
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
velasco
for
the
record.
I
do
anticipate
that
there
will,
over
the
long
term,
be
a
reduction
in
the
the
overall
costs,
as
folks
get
more
comfortable
voting
by
mail.
That
number
will
go
up.
The
number
of
personnel
voting
in
person
will
decrease
that
will
have
a
direct
effect
on
the
clerks.
The
number
of
polling
centers
they'll
have
to
establish
will
in
time
begin
to
decrease,
at
least
for
the
the
coming
biennium.
D
Just
a
quick
follow-up,
so
on
your
your
estimate
on
opt-in
versus
opt-out,
if
you
opted
in,
let's
say
that
roughly
38
of
the
electorate
that
were
that
were
mailed
ballots
opted
in
to
actually
using
them.
Do
you
think
that
could
change
that
savings
for
imperson
voting?
If
you
switch
from
an
opt-out
to
an
opt-in.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
velasco
director.
It
could
it's
hard
to
assess
what
exactly
the
electorate
is
going
to
do
given
2020
was
previously
identified
a
bit
of
an
anomaly.
We
can
look
at
it
and
provide
some
further
analysis
later,
though,
something
if
that's
acceptable.
B
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
blossom
for
the
right
group.
We
we
did.
We
look
close.
We
look
closely
at
our
current
process
and
our
current
process
is
that
opt-in
process,
where
again,
no
excuse
absent
ballot
requests.
Anyone
can
go
on
to
go
to
their
county
clerk
and
identify
the
requirement
for
absent
ballot
and
they
can
get
it.
As
a
result,
we've
had
a
fairly
low
percentage
of
our
electorate
who's
chosen
to
do
so.
The
opt-in,
I'm
sorry
the
opt-out
would
be
the
opposite
end
of
the
spectrum.
G
Where,
again,
we
would
have
a
large
number
of
folks
get
ballots
every
one
of
our
active
registered
voters,
and
there
would
be
some
folks
that
would
ultimately
figure
out
and
be
made
aware
of
the
opportunity
to
opt
out,
but
but
really
it's
the
two
ends
of
the
spectrum.
In
regards
to
the
fiscal
impact
of
the
state.
A
H
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
a
question
for
the
secretary
of
state.
What's
your
average
cost.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
mark
veloson
to
the
record.
The
2020
election
cycle
identified
a
dollar
46
per
ballot
that
is,
unfortunately,
again
kind
of
unique
to
2020,
as
we've
already
been
identified,
sort
of
been
identified
by
the
u.s
postal
service
that
their
rates
are
going
up
for
future
years.
So
the
1.46
isn't
something
that
you
will
see
likely
again.
H
And
is
that
cost
consistent?
I
now
this
is
difficult
because
of
where
we
are
in
the
conversation.
A
We'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
mr
glory.
If
it's
a
question
for
clark
county,
I
think
that's
most
appropriate.
Mr
gloria.
D
For
the
record,
joe
gloria
j-o-e-g-e-o-o-r-I-a
registrar
of
voters
in
clark
county,
that
number
is
is
pretty
consistent
with
what
our
costs
are
here
in
clark
county.
As
mr
walashin
mentions,
it
varies
according
to
the
number
of
ballots
that
are
returned
or
actually
sent
out.
There's
a
there's.
A
savings
in
cost.
A
O
Thank
you
so
much.
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
the
numbers
that
I
just
heard
because
in
the
the
fiscal
note
it
says
the
cost
for
ballot
stock
based
on
information
from
the
counties
and
reimbursements
in
the
ballot
stock
of
the
2016
general
election
worked
out
to
be
2.97
cents
per
ballot,
and
then
I
just
heard
146
per
ballot,
which
is
about
you
know
a
whole
dollar
and
about
dollar
and
fifty
cents,
a
dollar
forty
cents
less
per
ballot.
G
Yes,
ma'am
mark
velasco,
for
the
record.
The
difference
is,
is
that
a
dollar
46
was
the
again
the
cost
of
the
ballots.
Overall,
that's
the
statewide
aggregate
based
on
the
2020
general
election.
As
you
all
know,
again,
it
was
a
unique
year.
G
Vendors
were
doing
everything
from
trying
to
reduce
costs
to
help
expedite,
given
the
unique
conditions
that
the
entire
country
was
under
when
we
heard
that
the
u.s
postal
service
would
be
increasing
their
rates
instead
of
using
what
we
knew,
then
the
demonstrably
false
set
of
numbers,
the
dollar
46
and
recognizing
that
it
would
not
be
that
cheap
going
forward.
G
We
looked
at
the
then
previous
election
cycle
and
identified
the
2.97
cents
that
you
referenced
earlier
in
regards
to
the
cost
for
ballots,
estimating
that
that
may
be
very
least
closer
to
it
and
will
also,
I
think,
drive
home
the
importance
to
us
making
sure
folks
are
aware
of
that
opt-out
process
and
how
important
it
is
to
for
every
single
voter
to
be
aware
if
they
do
not
want
a
ballot
again.
That
provides
savings
to
the
state.
O
Thank
you
so
much
and
then
I'll
just
leave.
My
last
comment
on
the
record.
I
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
do
so,
madam
chair,
but
I
think
that
conversations
around
changing
it
to
an
opt-in
versus
an
opt-out
are
substantial
policy
changes
and
I
think
couching
it
behind
a
fiscal
note
is,
is
a
red
herring.
I
don't
think
that's
at
all
a
decision
that
that
I
mean
it's
an
absolute
policy
decision.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
leave
it.
I
leave
that
on
the
record.
A
Thank
you
with
that.
That's
enough
questions
I
believe
for
the
speaker
and
just
to
get
enough
information
on
the
fiscal
notes.
So
with
that
we
will
move
into
the
support
opposition
in
neutral
portion
of
the
hearing,
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
support
on
ab321
here
in
the
room.
Please
proceed.
K
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
anna
magnus
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
battleborn
progress.
I'm
here
in
support
of
assembly,
bill,
321
and
believe
this
investment
in
increasing
access
to
voting
for
nevadans
is
one
of
the
best
investments
this
committee
can
make.
We
saw
the
positive
results
from
your
investment
with
ab4,
and
now
we
need
to
invest
in
these
measures
permanently.
Please
support
ab321.
B
B
B
N
I
will
try
and
be
brief,
but
I
do
want
to
add
a
little
bit
that
we
were
not
able,
because
of
a
scheduling
conflict,
to
testify
on
the
policy
side
back
in
april,
but
this
was
one
of
our
top
priority
bills
this
session,
and
that
was
in
part
because
of
this
success.
For
my
memberships,
individual
experience
after
ab4
was
passed.
They
were.
My
group
was
frightened
at
that
time
concerned
about
their
ability
to
get
to
a
poll.
N
They
recognized
that
there
would
be
some
cost
and
that
this
would
be
controversial
in
the
in
the
background
of
the
pandemic,
but
they
were
very
grateful
that
anecdotally,
after
they
had
voted,
that
they'd
had
all
these
different
options,
depending
on
their
individual
circumstances,
and,
as
I
said,
our
membership
is
an
older
population
with
a
lot
of
differently,
abled
folks
in
that
population,
and
so
as
far
as
the
cost
goes.
Yes,
change
does
cost
some
money,
but
this
seems
enormously
like
a
good
idea.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.

Good

g-o-l-d

I'm

people

difficulty

Helping
these.
I
N
Actually,
the
value
of
helping
all
active,
registered

exercise
their
fundamental
american
right
to
vote
is
worth
so
so
much
more
than
this

note
aarp
on
behalf
of
the
thousands

thousands

thousands
of
aarp
members
across
the
state
who,
by
the
way,
frequently
are
the
largest
voting
bloc
in

strongly
strongly
support
this
bill

pass
it.
Thank
you.

Representing

I
will
keep
my
comments

We
fully
support
this
bill
for
all
the
reasons
that
my
colleagues
have
just
brought
forth,
making
voting
easier
and
more
accessible
to
nevadans
is
something
the
culinary

always
100
support,
so
we
stand

for
bringing
it
forward.

Nevada
is
supportive
of
ab321,
because
we
believe
that
every
nevadan
should
be
engaged
in
the
electoral
process
and
the
more
accessible.
This
process
is
the
more
open
to
others
who
would
not
otherwise,
who
would
otherwise
not
be
able
to
participate,
and
that
makes
for
a
better,
stronger
democracy.
N
Ab321
increases
access
for
bipart
communities
in
our
rural
nevada
communities
by
establishing
convenient
ballot
drop
boxes
and
giving
nevadans
a
variety
of
options
to
make
their
voices
heard
and
cast
their
ballots
in
a
safe
way.
We
believe
in
safe

and
that
increased

elections
makes
for
a
better

planned

and
based
on
the
data
we're
seeing
the
2020
voter
turnout
for

are
unprecedented:
127
percent
increase
compared
to

for
early
amendment
ballot
and
30
increase
in
overall
vote
share
for
the

but
continue
to
make
voting
safe
and

And
we'll
proudly
support

expanding

it's
protecting

you
good

church

secretary
of

for

record.
The
office
of
the
secretary
of

is
opposed
to
this
bill
due
to
the
negative
fiscal
impact
it
will
have
on
the
state.
If
ab321
is
passed,
the
satan
counties
would
incur
significant
costs
each
election
cycle.
G
These
costs
would
include
the
reimbursement
of
appropriate
county
expenses
due
to
nac
293.200,
which
requires
the
secretary
of
state
to
reimburse
the
counties
for
the
cost
of
ballot
stock,
as
well
as
the
purchase
of
an
installment
of
dropbox's
violet
drop
boxes
across
the
state,
as
well
as
a
voter
outreach
campaign
to
inform
voters
if
passed,
the
total
anticipated
fiscal
impact
has
been
identified
as
approximately
6.8
million
at
fy
2122,
6.3
million
in
and
approximately
11.3
million
for
each
future
biennium.
The
anticipated
cost
of
ballot
stock
was
calculated
based
on
historic
costs.
G
The
initial
anticipated
cost
of
ballot
drop
boxes
was
based
on
an
estimate
of
one
for
five
for
15
000
active
registered
voters.
That
was
approximately
196
thousand
dollars.
However,
sections
eight
and
fifty
six
of
the
amended
version
bill
now
require
a
draft
ballot
drop
box
at
every
polling
location
and
allows
for
clerks
to
establish
other
dropbox
locations.
That
would
increase
the
number
of
drop
boxes
from
an
initial
estimate
of
131
to
approximately
220
drop
boxes,
based
on
the
number
used
during
the
2020
general
election
cycle.
G
However,
the
cost
identified
in
our
visual
fiscal
note
remains
valid,
as
each
county
will
validate
their
dropbox
locations
prior
to
the
next
election
cycle,
and
there
may
not
be
as
many
required
as
there
were
during
the
2020
general
election.
Regarding
our
estimated
costs
for
voter
outreach
and
education,
we
estimate
approximately
1.6
million
to
pay
for
a
focused
and
sustained
voter
outreach
campaign.
G
Our
voter
outreach
campaign
would
focus
on
the
requirements
of
section
23
of
the
bill,
but
would
also
stress
how
voters
could
permanently
opt
out
if
they
so
desire,
as
described
in
sections
3
and
51
of
note.
Our
total
marketing
budget,
as
an
agency,
is
only
900
per
fiscal
year.
None
of
that
is
in
the
election's
budget.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
E
E
I
I
Thank
you.
My
name
is
quentin
q-u-e-n-t-I-n
last
name
fabwa
s-a-v-w-o-I-r
again,
I'm
the
deputy
director
at
make
it
work,
nevada
part
of
the
let
nevadans
vote
coalition.
We're
deeply
appreciative
of
the
speaker
for
bringing
this
measure
forward.
We
support
ab321,
because
expanding
voting
access
is
the
best
way
to
ensure
a
strong
democracy
and
a
strong
nevada
for
our
future.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
support.
I
appreciate
it.
E
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
jeanine
hanson
j-a-n-I-n-e-h-a-n-s-e-n,
I'm
the
state
chairman
of
the
independent
american
party.
We
oppose
ab321.
The
fiscal
note
from
the
secretary
of
state's
office
is
over
11
million
dollars
for
the
biennia,
but
the
cost
of
ab321
will
be
much
greater.
The
united
states
was
founded
as
a
republic
with
principles
of
democracy
demonstrated
through
our
elections.
F
What
we
have
seen
witnessed
around
the
world
and
many
other
countries,
is
that
when
people
lose
confidence
in
the
integrity
of
their
elections,
a
breakdown
of
the
peaceful
democratic
process
gives
way
to
violence.
This
is
born
of
deep
frustration,
because
people
believe
that
their
vote
doesn't
count
and
there
is
no
peaceful
recourse,
because
the
democrats
have
a
majority
in
both
houses
of
the
legislature,
and
the
governor
does
not
mean
it's
wise
to
change
the
time-honored
election
process
in
nevada
to
one
which
mirrors
california's.
F
Almost
half
of
the
voting
population
in
nevada
does
not
believe
we
had
an
honest
election
in
2021.
when
you
choose
to
implement
all
mail-in
voting
ballot
harvesting
electronic
rather
than
human
signature
verification.
You
simply
perpetuate
and
exacerbate
the
feelings
of
distress.
In
the
election
process,
our
pro
one
problem
in
our
law
that
creates
distress
is
the
fact
that
in
nrs,
483.391
4c
requires
drivers.
F
This
means
that
the
secretary
of
state
and
any
local
election
official
who
has
no
way
of
determining
by
checking
the
number
on
a
driver's
authorization
card
or
a
driver's
license
if
the
person
registering
to
vote,
may
not
be
a
citizen.
This
is
by
legislative
design
and
handicaps,
the
secretary
of
state
and
local
election
officials
in
checking
the
possible
leap
and
possibly
removing
non-citizens
from
our
voter
registration
roles.
This
further
creates
distrust
in
the
election
process.
F
E
M
M
M
Mail-In
ballots
are
a
waste
of
money
and
right
for
misuse,
especially
when
the
option
to
request
an
absentee
ballot
is
easily
available
and
ballot
harvesting
adds
to
the
chance
for
abuse,
and
it
does
not
require
someone
to
appear
in
person
with
a
valid
id,
the
first
time
they
vote.
These
are
just
a
few
issues
concerned
with
this
bill.
M
It
should
be
in
the
interest
of
both
parties
to
initiate
practical
election
reform
that
includes
cleaning
up
the
voter
rolls
so
that
we
are
assured
that
our
votes
will
count
and
not
be
canceled
out
by
someone
trying
to
cheat
the
system.
I
still
prefer
paper
ballots,
accompanied
by
voter
ids,
simple
and
straightforward
again.
M
The
measures
in
this
bill
will
not
restore
integrity
to
our
elections
and
trust
in
the
election
process.
No,
they
will
open
the
door
to
potential
election
fraud
and
further
weaken
and
divide
our
state
in
the
process.
I
will
conclude
by
saying
when
I
last
checked
the
opinions
against
this
bill
was
1939
against
818
in
favor.
So
it's
over
it's
a
substantial
difference
between
the
two.
M
E
I
D-E-G-R-A-F-F-E-N-R-E-I-D,
I'm
the
republican
national
committee,
man
for
the
state
of
nevada
and
the
nevada
republican
party
stands
in
strong
opposition
to
this
bill,
as
I
testified
earlier
on
ab126.
This
committee
is
concerned
with
allocating
resources,
even
if
the
expenses
are
only
3.9
million
per
election
versus
5
million.
We
are
still
talking
about
millions
of
dollars
of
taxpayer
money
being
spent
on
a
bill
that
doesn't
provide
the
turnout
benefits
that
supporters
have
referenced
in
their
testimony
earlier.
I
This
bill
is
presented
to
extend
the
temporary
emergency
provisions
of
ab4
from
the
last
special
session
and
make
them
permanent
for
all
elections
going
forward.
Ab-321
is
being
falsely
presented
as
a
way
to
increase
voter
turnout,
but
the
facts
show
that
it
ab4
did
not
increase
turnout
significantly.
I
Yes,
more
total
votes
were
cast,
but
that
is
because
there
were
more
registered
voters
to
cast
them.
Both
numbers
increased
by
about
25
over
those
four
years
secretary
of
state
data
reports
that
from
2016
to
2020
registered
voters
in
nevada,
increased
from
1.4
million
to
1.8
million
at
77.26
percent.
2020
turnout
was
only
about
one-half
of
one
percent
higher
than
the
2016
election
76.7
percent.
Far
from
being
record
turnout,
it
was
down
more
than
three
and
a
half
percent
from
80.77
percent
in
the
2012
presidential
election
to
answer
minority
leader
titus's
question
from
earlier.
I
If
nevada
would
have
had
the
same
turnout
of
76.7
in
2020
without
ab4,
then
ab4
can
be
credited
with
an
additional
10
160
votes
cast.
If
the
cost
stated
earlier,
3.9
million
is
accurate.
Then
it's
difficult
to
make
the
case
that
an
increase
of
10
160
votes
out
of
1.8
million
registered
voters
was
worth
spending
3.9
million
dollars
of
taxpayer
dollars.
In
closing,
there's
no
reason
to
believe
that
this
bill
will
increase
turnout
or
ballot
access.
Nevadans
have
always
had
complete
freedom
to
choose
to
vote
in
person
or
by
mail
on
election
day
or
early.
I
E
M
N
A
E
E
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
lynn
chapman,
I'm
the
state
treasurer
of
the
independent
american
party
l-y-n-n-c-h-a-p-m-a-n,
we
oppose
ab321
people
are
still
talking
about
the
last
election
they're,
not
saying
it
went
well
or
it
was
a
wonderful
experience,
but
they
are
saying
it
was
a
train
wreck.
We
should
not
be
spending
more
or
any
tax
money
on
elections
that
we
don't
even
trust
or
believe
in
mail-in,
ballots,
harvesting,
ballot,
harvesting,
automatic
voter
registration
systems
and
the
lack
of
proof
of
identity
and
residency
are
most
concerning.
N
E
N
Good
morning,
good
morning,
good
morning,
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means
jolette
gallons
j-o-l,
e-c-t-e-g-o-w-e-n-s
of
las
vegas.
I
would
like
to
communicate
my
strong
opposition
to
assembly
bill
321.
I
have
a
simple
question
for
each
of
you.
How
many
fraudulent
votes
are
acceptable?
The
correct
answer
is
zero.
What
if
it
was
you
that
lost
by
less
than
a
few
hundred
votes?
Would
you
have
been
outraged,
or
would
you
just
continue
to
say
that
there's
no
widespread
fraud
in
2020
dead
people,
thousands
of
non-citizens
votes
cast
from
vacant
lots.
N
A
Ma'am,
your
opposition,
ma'am,
barely
ma'am,
I'm
going
to
cut
you
off
yeah,
your
opposition
is
more
to
the
policy
piece.
It's
not
aimed
at
the
fiscal
side.
So
if
you
have
oppositions
as
far
as
the
fiscal
component
would
be
more
than
happy
to
hear
that
but
you're
going
to
the
policy
side-
and
we
don't
do
that
in
this
committee-
so
please
proceed.
If
you
have
fiscal
concerns.
Okay,.
N
A
E
N
N
N
I
also
have
a
small
property
up
there
in
ms
marilla
county
and
so
fiscally
speaking,
there's
not
enough
money
in
in
nevada's
budget
to
keep
this
type
of
voting
going
on
indefinitely.
We
have
so
many
other
things
that
we
could
spend
money
on
instead
of
drop
boxes
that
are
not
needed,
mailed
ballots,
that
are
not
necessarily
needed
either.
N
I
think
it's
a
total
waste
of
money
and
I
just
don't
know
how
our
smaller
communities,
our
rural
counties,
are
going
to
keep
up
with
this
kind
of
fiscal
demand
it
it
just
I
mean
they
have
roads
to
clear.
They
have
other
places
to
spend
their
money
besides,
printing
and
dropboxing
and
blah
blah
blah.
So,
yes,
please
don't
put
this
bill
forward.
It's
just
it's
not
fiscally
feasible.
Thank
you,
so
very
much
for
your
time
have
a
good
day.
A
E
N
Good
morning,
committee
members,
my
name
is
wendy
ellis.
N
N
I
N
N
N
A
E
N
M-E-L-I-S-F-A-C-L-E-M-E-N-T,
representing
nevada
ride
to
life
in
opposition
to
ab321
in
general,
because
we
worry
that
unsecured
ballots
going
out
to
everyone
without
a
chain
of
custody
throughout
the
ballot
process
is
inherently
problematic.
As
such,
we
are
concerned
with
the
lack
of
fiscal
modes
for
resources
devoted
to
ballot
security,
election
fraud,
investigation
and
election
prosecution
in
the
2020
election.
There
were
numerous
complaints
of
possible
election
fraud.
N
Several
times
we
were
told
that
there
were
insufficient
resources
currently
devoted
to
investigation,
so
investigations
did
not
happen,
but
a
cursory
glance
of
the
attached
fiscal
notes
shows
no
fiscal
resources
being
devoted
to
these
areas.
There
is
not
a
fiscal
note
to
the
ag's
office
or
any
of
the
district
attorney
attorneys,
who
would
presumably
presumably
investigate
and
prosecute
any
issues.
Additionally,
there
are
no
fiscal
notes
for
counties.
N
A
D
Yes,
yes,
ma'am
good
morning
coming
in
representing
clark
county
to
testify
neutral,
there's
been
much
testimony
today.
I
only
wish
to
convey
the
message
that
we
sincerely
appreciate
the
speaker's
efforts
to
include
the
input
of
election
officials
in
trying
to
make
the
language
in
place
work
so
that
we
can
administrate
it
and
uphold
the
integrity
of
the
election
process,
which
is
our
main
goal.
As
long
as
the
resources
are
provided,
we'll
be
prepared
to
support
the
bill
language
and
provide
mail
ballots
across
the
board.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
gloria,
and
thank
you
to
you
and
all
of
your
staff
for
everything
that
you
did
through
the
last
election
cycle
to
keep
our
democracy
running
forward.
We
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done
and
thank
you
for
being
in
neutral.
So
with
that,
is
there
any
neutral
on
the
phone
line.
E
E
N
A-U-B-R-E-Y-R-O-W-L-A-T-T,
carson
city
clerk
recorders
and
carson
city
is
neutral
on
this
bill
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
add
an
additional
fiscal
thought
to
consider
that
active
registered
voters
who,
within
the
allowed
time
frame
change
any
information
on
their
voter
registration,
which
includes
party
changes,
addresses
or
names
either
through
the
regular
registration
update
process
or
through
the
avr
process
at
dmv
will
automatically
be
sent
a
new
mail
balance.
N
N
We
will
need
to
find
alternative
office
location
solutions
which
will
be
a
cost
to
the
city
or
the
county
for
the
2020
general
election
due
to
kovid
alternative
county
city
buildings
are
available
for
use
due
to
the
closures.
However,
this
will
not
be
the
case
for
future
elections.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
again
jason
fryerson.
I
will
be
brief.
We've
had
a
substantive
hearing
on
this
issue.
Much
of
what's
raised
today
was
addressed
in
the
substantive
hearings
and
in
the
amendments
that
it
intended
to
address
many
of
the
concerns
with
respect
to
election
security
and
integrity
and
trust
in
the
process.
H
So
I
appreciate
our
local
election
officials
in
particular,
who
I
have
communicated
and
worked
with
extensively
throughout
this
process.
H
I
appreciate
that
their
comments
were
reflective
of
the
costs
and
not
of
the
substance,
and
so
I
certainly
appreciate
the
the
the
note
that
they
are
neutral
on
the
policy
but
concerned
about
the
cost
and
want
to
make
sure
it's
it's
provided
for.
I
I
think
that
that,
for
any
agency
would
be
the
appropriate
position
to
be
when
your
only
concern
is
fiscal
impact,
but
that's
why
we're
in
ways
and
means-
and
so
again
I
thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
attention.
A
A
H
You,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
jason
freyerson
seminar.
District
eight,
I
feel
like
every
day,
is
jason
fryerson,
but
I
am
pleased
to
present
to
you,
ab422,
which
will
update
modernize
our
voter
registration
database
right
now.
That
is
one
of
just
six
states
to
use
bottom-up
voter
registration
systems,
county
clerks
and
registrars,
maintain
their
county
voter
registration
roles
and
use
a
database
specific
to
their
county.
Voter
information
is
collected
and
stored
at
the
local
level
and
reported
up
to
the
statewide
system
on
a
regular
basis.
H
This
level
of
coordination
inherently
makes
the
process
slower.
Ab422
will
move
us
away
from
bottom-up
system
and
and
move
us
to
a
top-down
system
instead.
Additionally,
while
bottom-up
systems
and
other
states
share
information
in
real
time,
our
data
sharing
is
only
transmitted
daily.
Of
course,
we
are
here
because
of
the
fiscal
note
I
I
will
simply
note
with
respect
to
the
fiscal
note
that,
from
what
I
could
glean,
the
secretary
of
state's
fiscal
note
reflected
approximately
9.2
million
dollars.
H
This
is
something
that
is
going
to
take
at
least
four
years
to
implement,
and
everyone
who
has
been
involved
with
elections
has
indicated
an
interest
in
moving
us
to
a
top-down
system.
However,
I
believe
that
the
secretary
of
state's
office
has
also
indicated
in
meetings
and
presentations
that
4.8
million
from
the
hava
grant
would
be
going
towards
a
top-down
system,
and
I
did
not
see
in
the
fiscal
note
where
that
was
taken
into
account
to
reduce
the
9.2
million
dollar
fiscal
that
was
provided.
H
I
will
know,
as
as
with
the
previous
proposed
legislation,
that
the
fiscal
notes
seem
to
reflect
the
worst
case
scenario
and
not
necessarily
you
know,
a
practical
approach
that
could
mitigate
costs,
and
I
think
that
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
is
enhance
and
make
make
sure
our
system
competes
with
other
states
and
is
the
best,
but
we
also
want
to
mitigate
costs
and
and
do
that
by
taking
advantage
of
federal
dollars
and
other
measures
that
would
not
increase
the
cost
unduly.
H
A
Thank
you
speaker,
so
questions
from
the
committee
for
speaker
fryerson
at
this
time.
A
This
is
the
fiscal
policy,
so
we're
going
to
focus
on
the
fiscal
note.
I
think
we
need
to
have
the
secretary
of
state
respond
with
the
concern
of
if
the
java
dollars
are
available.
If
you
could
put
that
on
the
record,
the
amount
where
we
actually
are,
as
far
as
the
fiscal
note
goes
secretary
of
state,
please.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
marco
lashon,
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections,
for
the
record,
appreciate
the
speaker's
comments,
absolutely
understand
and
agree
that
the
intent
from
the
very
start,
even
before
assembly
bill
422
was
developed
in
draft
form,
was
to
use
the
the
hover
grant
to
conduct
this
transition
to
a
top-down
system.
Currently
we
have
about
6.8
million
dollars
left
in
the
hover
grant,
and
they're.
G
Very
much
like
speaker
set
is
an
intent
to
use
at
least
the
first
4.8
directly
to
put
towards
this
project
honestly,
regardless.
If
422
has
passed
that
that's
the
long-term
goal
is
to
intend
to
use
the
hobbit
grant
through
the
biennium
and
actually
as
a
result,
there
is
not
a
current
intent
or
requirement
request,
rather
for
any
appropriation
during
the
coming
biennium
relating
to
the
passage
of
422.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
committee
members.
Are
there
any
other
questions
at
this
time,
seeing
none
with
that?
I
don't
think
we
have
anything
else
short
and
sweet
like
it
that
way.
So
with
that,
this
is
the
hearing
on
assemblyville
422
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
those
in
support
those
in
support
in
the
room.
Please.
K
K
A
E
N
A
A
D
Madam
chair
joe
gloria
register,
our
voters
clark
county
nevada.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
we
are
testifying
in
the
neutral
position
representing
clark
county.
I,
however,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
there
is
nothing
more
critical
than
the
investment
in
the
top
down
voter
registration.
No
election
official
in
the
state
of
nevada
would
tell
you
any
different.
The
top-down
voter
registration
is
necessary
to
give
us
the
tools
that
we
need
to
protect
the
integrity
of
the
voting
process
to
improve
our
ability
to
clean
the
roles
to
improve
our
canvassing
time
period.
D
A
G
A
G
Mark
colossians,
deputy
secretary
of
state
elections
for
the
record,
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state,
is
neutral
on
this
bill.
However,
again,
while
I
did
just
talk
about
the
intent
to
use
the
hava
grant,
so
I
won't
reiterate
that
I
do
just
want
to
stress
that
that,
as
discussed
our
fiscal
note,
while
it
certainly
seems
large,
the
intent
was
not
to
make
this
something
again
overbearing
or
intimidating,
but
somebody
to
capture
the
anticipated
costs.
G
This
agency
very
much
believes
that
we
have
a
moral
obligation
to
preserve
tax
dollars
and
going
forward.
If
this
bill
is
passed,
we
absolutely
are
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
reduce
the
costs
of
taxpayers
while
conducting
this
transition
to
a
top-down
system
that,
as
mr
gloria
said,
is
absolutely
vital
to
the
the
moving
forward
and
future
of
elections
here
in
nevada.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
invite
the
speaker
back
up
to
the
testimony
table
for
closing
remarks.
H
A
A
A
So
with
that
committee
members,
since
we
have
the
speaker
here
and
who
knows,
if
I'll
get
him
back
later
today,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
220.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
My
name
is
jason.
Fryerson.
Send
me
from
simi
district
8..
I
will
attempt
to
be
brief.
Assembly
bill.
220
simply
requires
law
enforcement
agencies
to
develop
a
written
policy
that
sets
for
standards
of
conduct
for
using
publicly
issued
and
official
mobile
devices
and
prohibits
the
use
of
mobile
applications
that
use
end-to-end
encryption
with
the
intent
and
that's
incredibly
important
with
the
intent
to
avoid
the
creation,
retention
or
lawful
discovery
of
records
or
data
relating
to
the
communications
of
a
police
officer.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
committee
staff
has
received
those
documents.
I'm
getting
a
go
ahead.
Ms
kaufman,
madam
chair,
that
is
correct.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
speaker.
So
with
that.
Are
there
any
questions
of
the
speaker
at
this
time
on
assembly
bill
220,
not
seeing
any
questions
at
this
time.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker,
for
not
letting
that
one
slip
by
me
appreciate
it.
So,
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
for
testimony
on
assembly
bill
220.
those
here
in
the
room
in
support
of
assembly
assemblyville
220.
A
E
A
A
You
know
when
to
fold
them
good
job
so
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
220
and
we'll
invite
the
majority
leader
on
assembly
bill
196,
and
I
believe
this
is
the
last
bill
that
we
will
have
a
hearing
on
this
morning.
We
do
need
to
do
a
work
session,
let's
see
how
long
this
takes
and
we'll
go
go
from
there.
This
is
the
time
of
year
when
we
all
have
to
be
flexible.
O
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chairwoman,
and
thank
you
members
of
assembly,
ways
and
means
for
hearing
assembly
bill
196.
This
is
a
bill
that,
in
the
amendment,
is
requesting
an
appropriation
to
the
administrative
offices
of
the
courts
for
the
purposes
of
awarding
grants
of
money
to
municipal
and
justice
courts,
for
the
cost
of
making
sure
that
we
can
offer
public
spaces
for
within
our
courthouses.
O
For
for
the
folks
that
come
in
to
be
able
to
express
milk,
and
so
what
this
is
is
many
of
the
courts
have
already
identified
existing
space
that
they
can
call
a
lactation
room.
There's
a
handful
of
courts,
though,
that
aren't
able
to
identify
an
existing
space
to
allow
a
mother
to
express
her
milk
and
so
for
those
specific
instances.
What
we're
looking
to
do
with
this
bill
is
set
up
some
money,
so
there
can
be
a
matching
grant
program
to
allow
for
the
purchase
of
lactation.
O
So
we
don't
need
one
for
each
court
if
they're
all
in
the
same
building,
we
would
just
need
one
for
the
that
building
there
and
then
section
two.
We
are
amending
it.
So
I
believe
in
the
first
reprint
you
see
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
lopped
off
a
zero.
So
it's
50..
O
You
also
see
that,
as
opposed
to
having
this
be
a
process
in
1.5
that
comes
back
through
ifc
that
just
didn't
work
well,
because
the
courts
don't
come
back
to
us
four
dollars,
so
it
makes
more
sense
to
hand
this
off
to
the
administrative
office
of
the
courts
and
then
third,
the
district
courts
have
asked
to
be
written
into
this,
so
that
they
could
have
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
these
pots
of
these
dollars
as
well
and
so
per
their
request.
I
am
adding
them
in.
O
I
also
do
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
under
section
1.5
and
sub
2
is
already
existing
language
about
allowing
for
grants
from
other
sources,
as
well
as
other
public
and
private
dollars.
So
conversations
with
the
courts,
knowing
that
they
in
anticipation
of
holding
jury
trials
and
expecting
a
lot
more
public
to
be
in
their
in
their
building,
especially
at
the
municipal
level
that
they
indeed
do
want
to
put
an
effort
into
getting
more
lactation
pods
in
there
and
we'll
be
searching
for
other
ways
to
do
that
as
well.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
thanks
for
so
much
for
bringing
forward
this
legislation.
I
work
with
a
lot
of
lawyers
and
judges,
and
also
this
is
for
members
of
the
public
who
engage
in
you
know
the
the
court
proceedings,
and
so
these
are.
These
are
barriers
that
maybe
not
every
member
of
the
population
could
understand,
really
do
create
a
barrier,
for
you
know
working
professionals
as
well
as
members
of
the
public,
with
an
access
to
justice
and
their
constitutional
right
to
participate,
and
this
is
helpful
so
appreciate
this
legislation.
C
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
when
we
have
the
one-time
appropriation
of
50
000
is
there.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
run
into
a
situation
where
there's
a
a
court
building
that
might
not
be
compliant
if
that
50
000
runs
out.
So
could
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you
came
to
that
50
000
dollar
number
and
what
we
would
do
if
that's
not
sufficient
to
ensure
compliance
across
the
state.
O
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
the
question,
so
you
are
going
to
see
one
fiscal
note
already
submitted
from.
I
believe
it's
the
carson
city
area,
stating
that
they
have
two
courts,
that
they
can
identify
right
now
that
don't
have
a
space
that
they
can
call
a
lactation
room
upon
request
for
someone,
and
then
we
know
of
one
also
in
washoe
county.
So
there's
three
that
we
know
of
the
lactation
pods
are
approximately
about
ten
thousand
dollars.
Each
I've
been
talking
with
clark
county
about
what
their
need
might
be.
O
If
you
look
at
the
implementation,
implementation
dates
as
well,
we
are
allowing
section
1.5
to
become
effective
on
july
1st,
which
means
the
the
the
money
over
to
the
administrator
of
courts
for
the
grant,
so
that
we
kind
of
get
the
money
out
first
and
then
the
rest
of
the
provisions
on
january.
First,
twenty
twenty.
Second!
So
then
the
hard
policy
enforcement
will
follow
later
on.
A
Thank
you
very
much
committee
members,
any
other
questions
of
the
majority
leader
at
this
time,
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you
very
much
majority
leader.
We
appreciate
it
with
that.
We'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
support
opposition
and
neutral.
So
with
that
those
who
are
in
support
of
assembly
bill
196,
please
come.
A
B
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
ariel
edwards
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
north
las
vegas.
We
would
like
to
state
for
the
record
that
we
are
in
support
of
assembly
bill
196
and
would
like
to
thank
the
assembly
woman
for
bringing
this
piece
of
legislation
forward.
We
appreciate
that
this
bill
prioritizes
women
and
gives
them
and
gives
them
a
safe
space
to
take
care
of
their
families.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
consideration
today.
A
E
N
J-A-M-I-E-R-O-D-R-I-G-U-E-Z,
I'm
the
government
affairs
manager
for
washoe
county.
We
are
here
in
support
of
the
bill.
We
were
in
support
of
it
in
the
policy
committee
as
well
as
the
majority
leader
mentioned.
We
do
potentially
have
one
courthouse
in
washoe
county.
That
would
be
the
incline
justice
court,
for
which
a
lactation
pot
or
something
may
need
to
be
made
available.
N
E
E
N
N
J-E-N-N-I-S-E-R-R-I-C-H-A-R-D-S,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
majority
leader
benitez
thompson
for
working
with
me
to
bring
this
bill
forward.
I
know
this
is
in
a
policy
committee,
so
I'll
just
state
briefly,
that
the
health
benefits
for
mom
and
baby
to
breastfeed
are
numerous
and
providing
reasonable
accommodations
for
women
to
continue.
This
will
have
immense
cost
savings.
N
A
A
E
N
Good
morning,
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee
joanna
jacob
on
behalf
of
clark
county,
that's
j-o-a-n-n-a-j-a-c-o-b.
We
are
neutral
on
this
bill.
Madam
chair,
the
majority
leader
has
worked
with
clark,
county
and
all
the
local
governments
on
giving
us
the
flexibility
to
implement
this
bill.
We
do
have
in
clark
county
about
eight
outlying
justice
courts
outside
of
the
las
vegas
valley,
including
in
locations
such
as
bunkerville
and
searchlight.
Good
springs,
moapa
valley
that
I
think
that
we
will
work
to
repurpose
a
rumor
placing
a
pod.
N
E
N
Courts,
so
this
will
allow
us
some
flexibility
also,
we
just
got
to
figure
out
the
logistics
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
because
this
might
be
the
last
time
I
get
to
testify
on
one
of
the
majority
of
leaders
bills.
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
that
she
put
in
on
look
to
work
with
local
government
on
this
bill,
and
I
just
want
to
express
my
sincere
thanks.
Thank
you.
E
N
Good
morning,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee
dagny
stapleton
on
behalf
of
naco
nevada
association
of
counties,
I
want
to
thank
the
we
are
neutral
in
the
bill.
I
want
to
thank
the
majority
leader
for
reaching
out
to
us
early
on
this
bill
and
working
with
us
thank
her
for
the
flexibility
that
has
written
into
the
bill,
as
well
as
the
funding
included
to
carry
out
the
policy
of
ensuring
that
there
are
lactation
rooms
for
nursing
mothers
in
our
courts.
N
We
also
want
to
thank
her
for
the
conceptual
amendment
proposed
today,
adding
district
courts
to
section
1.5
so
that
they
can
access
the
funding
as
well.
Thanks
again
to
the
majority
leader
and
I'd
echo,
the
comments
of
clark
and
washoe
counties.
Thank
you.
A
A
We
do
need
to
work
session
a
couple
of
bills
so
that
we
can
keep
things
rolling,
especially
those
that
are
going
to
need
to
have
amendments
drafted.
So
I'd
like
to
get
those
out
of
our
way
this
morning,
so
that
legal
can
will
not
start
working
on
amendments
until
we
actually
process
the
bill.
So
with
that
give
me
a
second
to
coordinate
with
miss
kaufman
and
then
we'll
then
I'll,
give
you
the
list
of
where
we're
going
to.
A
H
A
So
with
that
committee
members,
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
come
back,
that
would
be
great.
Everybody
needs
a
moment
so
that
moment
is
over.
So
with
that
guys
it's
going
to
be
a
long
week.
We've
got
to
smile
every
once
in
a
while
right.
So
with
that
committee
members,
it
would
be
my
my
intention
to
move
484
the
deter
bill
that
was
heard
in
joint
full
yesterday.
A
A
Assembly
bill
196,
just
presented
by
the
majority
leader
and
assembly
bill
220.
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
and
keep
things
headed
down
to
the
desk
so
that
we
don't
get
a
backlog
later
on
in
case
something
jumps
the
tracks
so
did.
Did
you
need
me
to
repeat
that
one
more
time
is
everybody
good
I'll?
Do
it
again?
Just
for
the
public
assembly
bill,
484
assembly

A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assignment
bill
387,
establishes
the
board
of
licensed
certified
professional
midwives
and
requiring
the
board
to
adopt
certain
regulations.
The
bill
requires
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
to
perform
certain
tasks
relating
to
regulations
of
licensed,
certified
professional
midwives
and
provides
licensure
of
professional
midwives.
C
C
With
regard
to
the
fiscal
impact,
as
amended,
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
division
of
public
behavioral
health
indicated
that
the
fiscal
note
was
addressed.
Madam
chair,
I
would
note
there
was
a
fiscal
note
that
was
provided
by
by
medicaid
the
division
of
health
care,
finance
and
policy
that
did
identify
that
it
would
have
a
savings
in
the
medicaid
account.
However,
this
account
would
also
have
expenditures
that
would
be
incurred.
52
thousand
dollars
in
their
admin
account,
and
so
the
committee
may
wish
to
provide
that
transfer
authority
to
the
department.
A
Not
seeing
any
questions.
I
believe
the
motion
would
include
that
transfer
authority.
We
want
to
give
the
agency
as
much
authority
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
to
accomplish
this,
so
this
bill
was
amended
in
the
policy
committee,
and
this
is
another
amendment
in
our
committee.
So
this
the
motion
on
this
would
be
amend
and
do
pass
as
amended
I'll.
Take
that
with
the
transfer
authority
I'll
take
the
motion
from
mrs
medina's
thompson,
the
second
from
miss
outigee,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion.
A
Hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
those
in
opposition.
Dr
titus,
is
an
a
mr
hafen
is
an
a
mr
lovett.
Is
an
a
motion?
Passes
I'll,
go
ahead
and
I'm
sorry.
A
Oh,
I'm
sorry,
mr
roberts,
you
got
to
get
that
arm
out
there,
and
mr
roberts
is
an
a
also.
So
with
that
the
motion
still
passes
and
as
it
gets
to
the
floor,
we'll
ask
ms
monroe
moreno
to
handle
the
bill.
You're
welcome
and
the
next
bill
for
consideration
is.
C
A
All
right,
I
think,
we're
moving
ahead,
so
miss
kaufman.
A
C
I
apologize
for
the
delay
madam
chair.
The
bill
provides
assembly
bill,
341
provides
for
the
licensure
and
regulation
of
the
cannabis
compliance
board
of
the
cannabis
consumption
lounges.
The
bill
sets
forth
requirements
for
the
licensure
and
operations
of
cannabis
consumption
lounges.
The
board
is
required
to
adopt
regulations,
establishing
requirements
for
the
preparation
and
sale
of
ready
to
consume
cannabis
products.
C
This
bill
applies
excise,
tax
relief,
related
sales
dollars
of
the
cannabis
and
cannabis
products
by
a
cannabis,
consumption,
lounge
and,
lastly,
provides
as
amended
to
allow
for
consumption
of
cannabis
and
cannabis
products
in
public
places
or
in
cannabis
establishments.
For
the
purposes
of
authorized
authorizing
a
person
to
engage
in
such
activities
in
the
cannabis
lounge.
A
C
C
That
is
correct,
madam
chair,
and
with
the
amendment
the
department
of
taxation
has
provided
that
there
is
no
fiscal
impact.
This
the
attorney
general's
office
indicated
that
it
would
be
able
to
meet
the
physical
impacts
of
their
note
related
with
their
ag
cap,
and
so
I
believe,
all
of
the
fiscal
notes
on
this
have
been
addressed.
A
C
C
A
With
that
chair
yeager,
we
usually
don't
do
this,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
the
right
motion.
Please
come
to
the
table
for
just
a
couple
quick
questions.
This
bill
was
previously
amended
in
the
policy
committee,
so
we
were
working
from
the
first
reprint
correct.
A
A
I
have
a
motion
from
miss
hatakey,
second,
from
miss
benitez
thompson,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
mr
roberts.
Thank.
D
You
ma'am
I'll
be
a
yes
to
get
it
out
of
committee.
I
still
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
need
to
work
out
before
the
floor
boat.
If
I
change
my
mind
I'll,
certainly
let
you
know
thank
you.
A
The
chair
would
definitely
appreciate
that,
especially
at
this
time
of
the
session.
So
with
that
seeing
no
other
questions
or
comments
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition.
I
have
dr
titus
in
opposition.
Mr
hafen
miss
tolls,
mr
lovett,
all
in
opposition.
Thank
you
all
very
much,
mr
roberts.
If
you
get
that
information,
you
might
want
to
share
it
with
them.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
with
that
we
can
move
on
to
assembly
bill
482.
A
A
C
C
If
the
state
controller
has
notified
the
secretary
of
state
that
a
person
who
holds
a
state
business
license
owes
a
debt
to
the
state
agency
that
has
been
assigned
to
the
state
controller
for
collection
and
the
state,
and
the
person
has
not
satisfied
the
debt
entered
into
agreement
with
the
state
controller
for
payment
of
debt
or
demonstrated
to
the
state
controller
that
the
debt
is
not
valid
and,
as
the
chair
indicated,
there
is
an
amendment
on
this
bill.
A
Okay,
could
you
give
me
a
copy
of
the
amendment
because
of
mine?
Okay,
so
thank
you.
So
the
amendment
changes
it
from
not
renewed
to
suspend
and
instead
of
applicant
the
license
holder
and
pro
adds
language
that
the
secretary
of
state
shall
reinstate
a
business
license
that
has
been
suspended
if
the
secretary
of
state
receives
a
letter
issued
by
the
state
comptroller
stating
the
person
whose
state
business
license
was
suspended
has
satisfied
the
debt
entered
into
an
agreement
for
repayment
or
the
debt
is
not
valid.
A
The
concerns
that
the
committee
shared
and
working
with
dir
and
the
secretary
of
state
was
to
make
sure
that
everyone
had
every
opportunity
to
be
able
to
pay
the
debt,
be
aware
of
the
debt
and
to
clear
the
debt
before
their
license.
It
will
not
be
not
renewed.
The
correct
term
would
be
to
suspend
the
license,
so
that
is
the
proposed
amendment
and
that
was
proposed
by
the
secretary
of
state
to
address
the
issues
that
were
brought
up
in
the
committee
that
day
any
questions
at
this
time.
Dr
titus
thank.
A
Thank
you.
We
can
do
that.
That's
fine!
So
with
that
committee
members,
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments?
We
sent
them
off
to
go,
get
the
work
done
and
thank
goodness
they
did
it
without
me.
Otherwise
we
wouldn't
be
in
this
spot
right
now.
So
any
questions
seeing
none
with
that.
I
would
accept
a
motion
to
amend
and
do
pass
assembly
bill
482
from
miss
monroe
moreno.
Second,
from
mrs
bedines
thompson
comments
on
the
motion,
dr
titus.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
have
frequently
heard
in
this
committee
different
bills
that
encourage
people
to
keep
working.
For
example,
we
changed
the
laws
regarding
traffic
tickets
because
we
didn't
want
folks
losing
their
ability
to
go
to
work
if
they
lost
their
cars
or
went
to
jail.
This
bill
suspends
a
license
that
how
are
we
going
to
ask
of
folks
to
pay
these
fees
when
they
no
longer
have
the
business
to
do
so?
So,
unfortunately,
although
I
I
feel
that
the
amendment
makes
it
a
little
bit
better.
F
I
still
cannot
support
removing
a
person's
opportunity
to
pay
bills,
so
I'll
be
a
no
on
this
bill.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you,
dr
titus.
These
are
debts
that
are
owed
the
state
through
the
department
of
industrial
relations.
They're
made
very
well
aware
of
what
their
debt
is
and
the
dir
board
is
expunging.
These
debts
and
the
goal
behind
the
bill
was
to
make
sure
that
people
paid
the
debts
that
they
owed
the
state,
and
this
this
is
an
accountability
measure.
It
was
never
meant
to
put
anyone
out
of
work.
A
H
Yes,
madam
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
the
record
that
I
will
be
voting
yes
out
of
committee.
G
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assembly,
bill
445,
extends
an
existing
grant
match.
Pilot
grant.
Matching
pilot
program
creates
the
grant
matching
fund
with
a
one
million
dollar
transfer
from
the
unclaimed
property
that
currently
goes
to
the
general
fund
and
moves
the
office
of
grant
procurement
from
the
department
of
administration
to
the
governor's
office.
C
The
department
of
administration's
grant
procurement
division
did
indicate
that
they
had
a
slight
revision
to
their
fiscal
note,
and
they
would
require
a
total
of
one
million,
two
hundred
seventy
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
seventy
nine
dollars,
of
which
one
million
would
be
from
the
unclaimed
properties
account
and
two
million
ninety
one
thousand
ten
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
three,
also
with
one
million
dollars
from
the
unclaimed
property
account
and
the
controller's
office,
submitted
a
fiscal
note
originally
provided
for
of
150
million
or
excuse
me
150
000.
C
However,
in
discussions
with
the
controller's
office,
they
had
indicated
that
a
management
analyst
3
position
would
would
be
appropriate
in
order
to
address
the
workload
increases
associated
with
this
bill
and
that
would
require
an
additional
eighty,
nine
thousand
five
hundred
thirty
seven
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
two
and
one
hundred
fifteen
thousand
seven
hundred
seventy
two
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
twenty
three.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
committee
members.
Are
there
any
questions?
We
would
incorporate
the
appropriate
appropriations
into
the
bill,
try
to
say
that
one
fast
three
times
so.
Are
there
any
questions
on
the
bill?
Miss
monroe,
mario,
any
statement.
A
C
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
a
bill
that
actually
makes
a
good
fiscal
sense,
and
I
feel
that
we
can
actually
generate
more
funds
back
into
nevada
and
am
highly
supportive
of
this
bill.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
F
A
Unfortunately,
we
are
put
in
a
position
if
we
want
to
fund
government
and
get
the
things
done,
that
we
believe
government
is
responsible
for
that.
This
is
not
something
that
I
take
lightly.
I
had
hoped
I
would
never
have
to
do
this
again
in
my
career,
but
unfortunately,
we've
all
been
put
in
a
position
where
we
have
a
responsibility
to
do
the
right
thing
to
the
state
so
it.
A
That
is
why
the
bill
is
here
right
now,
so
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
members,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition.
Dr
titus,
mr
hafen,
miss
tolls.
Mr
lovett,
mr
roberts
are
all
in.
In
opposition.
Motion,
carries
moving
on
to
assembly,
bill
196.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assembly,
bill
196,
as
amended,
requires
courthouses
to
contain
lactate
rooms
under
certain
circumstances,
for
the
use
by
members
of
the
public
to
express
breast
milk
and
to
make
a
general
fund
appropriation
to
the
interim
finance
committee
of
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
allocation,
as
grants
to
municipal
and
justice
course
for
the
cost
of
creating
lactation
rooms,
contingent
upon
matching
money
being
provided
by
the
courts.
Applying
such
grants
for
sources
other
than
appropriations.
C
I
would
know
there
was
an
amendment
that
was
discussed
this
morning
that
reduces
the
appropriation
from
500
000
to
50
000.
It
also
provides
that
section
1.1
would
be
revised
instead
of
each
courthouse
to
require
at
least
one
lactation
room
per
location
when
municipal
courts
are
are
housed
in
the
same
building
and
campuses.
C
A
A
So
I
would
accept
a
motion
to
amend
and
do
pass
as
amended
from
miss
monroe
moreno
second,
from
miss
tolls,
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
in
opposition
hearing
none
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
I
believe
the
next
bill
under
consideration
is
assembly
bill
220.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
assembly,
bill
220,
as
amended
requires
each
law
enforcement
agency
to
adopt
a
written
policy
establishing
standards
for
standards
of
conduct
for
the
use
of
a
mobile
device
issued
by
law
enforcement
agencies
to
any
peace
officer
employed
by
the
agency
and
establish
specific
requirements
relating
to
that
policy.
I
would
note
that
both
the
department
of
corrections,
as
well
as
las
vegas
metro,
have
removed
their
fiscal
impact.
A
A
A
A
If
not
they'll
all
come
to
me
all
floor
statements
will
come
to
me
and
then
we
can
deal
with
them
at
the
appropriate
time
because
it's
moving
so
quickly.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
has
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
that.
We
are
going
to
go
into
recess
floor
is
scheduled,
10
minutes
from
now
not
bad
timing,
and
we
are
going
to
try
to
get
back
into
this
room
as
as
soon
as
possible
after
legislative
operations.
I
believe,
if
not
maybe
a
few
minutes
earlier,
depending
upon
what
the
schedule
looks
like.
