A
Good
evening
ways
and
means
committee,
we
are
in
ways
and
means
part
two
for
today
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
this
meeting
to
order.
It
has
been
posted
and
on
the
agenda.
It
lists
specifically
how
folks
can
attend
the
meeting.
A
Virtually
we
have
five
bills
before
us
this
evening,
so
we're
going
to
get
straight
to
work
and
go
with
the
bills
just
to
let
everyone
know
we
will
be
taking
them
just
a
little
bit
out
of
order
today,
oops,
I
probably
need
to
call
the
roll
since
we
had
a
meeting
earlier,
but
it
was
joint.
So
since
we
are
separate
this
evening,
if
I
could
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
to
the
staff
and
if
staffing
please
call
the
roll
for
me,
thank
you.
C
D
C
B
F
A
And
I
am
here,
I
think
mr
roberts
had
just
a
slight
glitch.
He
is
present,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
role
was
reflected
correctly.
So,
as
I
was
saying,
committee
members,
we
have
five
bills
before
us
this
evening.
I
am
going
to
take
them
just
a
little
bit
out
of
order.
Ab459
will
be
the
last
bill
that
we
will
hear
so
that
we
can
go
through
the
other
four
first.
A
I
know
that
bill
will
have
a
little
bit
more
discussion
so
that
way
we
can
get
the
other
folks
on
their
way
and
back
to
their
jobs
that
they're
usually
doing
so.
We
will
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
on
our
first
bill
this
evening,
which
is
ab4
office
of
the
secretary
of
state
for
the
replacement
of
computer
hardware
and
software.
So
I
believe
I
have
mr
anderson
available.
D
D
Of
state
for
elections
and
former
operations,
deputy
mark
secretary
of
state
for
operations,
debbie
bowman
and
our
chief
I.t
manager,
tim
horgan
who's
joined
us
who's
out
with
us
in
the
room
that
is
on
the
zoo
call.
The
webex
called
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
this
evening
to
present
ab451
8451
is
a
one-shot
appropriation
for
two
million
five
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
over
the
biennium
to
fund
the
five-year
replacement
of.
C
D
D
A
And
thank
you
very
much,
mr
anderson.
So
I'm
just
going
to
ask
an
education
sort
of
question
just
for
the
the
committee's
benefits.
So
in
your
bill
it
says
that
the
remaining
balance
of
the
appropriation
made
by
subsection
one,
which
is
the
amount
that
you
confirmed
by
the
end,
may
not
must
not
be
committed
for
expenditure.
After
june
30th
of
2023
by
the
entity
to
which
the
appropriation
is
made
or
any
entity
to
which
money
appropriation
is
granted
otherwise
transferred.
A
So
I
think
what
I
the
question:
I'd
like
you
to
answer
is
so
this
money
will
go
to
this
project.
There's
no
intention
of
moving
money
from
this
project
to
another
project.
This
will
strictly
be
used
for
this
project
and,
if
it
isn't
totally
expended,
then
it
will
come
back
to
the
state.
Is
that
correct.
D
That
is
correct.
This
is
for
the
replacement
of
our
existing
computer
equipment
that
is
now
running
out
of
warranty
and
by
this
due
fiscal
year,
2023
will
no
longer
be
supported,
so
we
won't
we're
not
planning
on
using
this
for
any
other
use
other
than
that,
and
if
there's
anything
left
over,
it
will
be
reverted.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
committee
was
aware
of
that
language
and
that's
kind
of
boilerplate
language
that
we're
going
to
see
and
a
lot
of
these,
and
that's
basically
our
guarantee
that
when
we
appropriate
the
dollars,
they'll
be
used
there
and
only
there
and
then,
if
not
used,
they
will
come
back
to
the
state.
So
committee
members
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
questions
of
mr
anderson
on
ab451.
A
Not
seeing
anyone
with
any
questions
at
this
time,
all
right,
so
we
will
go
through
our
broadcast
services
for
support
opposition
and
neutral,
as
required
for
for
each
bill
that
we
will
hear
so
with
that
broadcast
services.
If
you
could,
please
open
up
the
line,
and
if
there
is
anyone
in
support,
if
you
could
queue
them
up.
F
F
D
D
This
will
allow
us
to
continue
with
the
services
that
we
provide
in
the
secretary
of
state's
office
over
the
next
several
years.
Next,
several
fiscal
years.
A
A
Mr
lovato.
Are
you
available.
G
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening,
chair
carlton
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
greg
lovato
administrator
of
the
nevada
division
of
environmental
protection.
Introducing
installable
452
with
me
in
the
room
today
are
jeffrey
kinder,
ndp,
deputy
administrator
and
danilo
dragoni
chief
of
the
bureau
of
air
quality
planning
and.
G
G
G
This
ab452
proposes
three
changes
to
existing
statutes
section
one
paragraph
five
requires
certain
state
agencies
and
other
entities,
such
as
airport
authorities
and
local
agencies,
to
report
certain
information.
In
dep,
we
will
use
this
information
to
prepare
the
annual
report
with
the
most
up-to-date
information
section.
One
paragraph
six
provides
authority
for
the
state
environmental
commission
to.
F
G
Requiring
that
certain
information
related
to
additional
reporting
of
a
potent
group
of
greenhouse
gases
known
as
refrigerants
or
used
as
refrigerants,
also
known
as
hydrofluorocarbons
or
hscs,
and
then
lastly,
section
three
paragraph.
One
authorizes
up
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
from
the
fund
for
cleaning
up
discharges
of
petroleum
to
be
transferred
to
the
account
for
management,
air
quality
to
support
the
direct
and
indirect
costs
preparing
the
annual
ghd
report.
G
C
G
G
The
statutory
amendment
would
require
the
identification
reporting
of
information
that
is
necessary
to
complete
the
annual
ghg
report,
for
example
ground
in
aviation
fuel
sales,
vehicle
registration
and
vehicle
miles.
Travel
statistics
are
critical
to
an
accurate
annual
report.
An
ndp
would
work
with
state
agencies
such
as
ndot
and
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
as
well
as
the
airport
authorities.
G
Substances
occur
when
released
into
the
atmosphere
from
leaks
and
end-of-life
disposal
or
destruction
of
equipment.
Emissions
of
these
substances
are
currently
projected
to
become
a
significant
and
increasing
contributor
of
ghg
emissions
statewide
due
to
increases
in
population
and
ambient
temperature.
G
The
collection
of
data
associated
with
the
type
sale,
use
and
disposal
of
products
that
contain
these
substances
would
be
augmented
and
greatly
if
the
the
accuracy
would
be
greatly
improved
by
relying
on
nevada-specific
information.
Instead.
B
G
The
petroleum
fund
is
funded
by
a
three-quarter
cent
fee
on
each
gallon
of
motor
vehicle
fuel
diesel
fuel
of
grade
one
grade
number
two
and
heating
oil
imported
or
refined
into
the
state.
The
petroleum
fund
is
primarily
used
to
pay
for
investigation
and
cleanup
of
fuel
releases
from
underground
storage
tanks.
G
G
C
G
A
So
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
get
to
the
the
the
conversation
about
the
actual
appropriation
that'll
be
great
and
then
we
can
expand
on
the
conversation
after
that
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
for
questions.
So
I'd
like
to
understand
the
the
waterfall
that
will
happen,
you've
got
this
seven
million
five.
A
A
G
Calton,
that
is
the
statutory
amendment,
but
obviously
we
would
also
have
to
receive
approval
for
our
budget
authority
via
the
typical
appropriations
process.
A
A
E
Flynn,
thank
you
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record.
I'm
kristen
averitt
state
climate
policy
coordinator
ab452,
will
support
the
goals
of
the
nevada
climate
initiative.
Projections
of
nevada's
future
greenhouse
gas
emissions
are
an
important
part
of
the
annual
inventory
that
is
developed
by
nda
in
2019.
The
legislature
passed
sb
254,
which
set
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions,
targets
of
28
by
2025
45
by
2030
and
net
zero
by
2050..
E
However,
according
to
the
latest
update
of
the
state
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
inventory
nevada
will
fall
four
percent
short
of
the
2025
target,
19
short
of
2030
and
well
short
of
the
net
zero
2050
goal.
Understanding
where
we
are
with
respect
to
our
emissions
reduction
targets
is
critical.
The
data
and
modeling
by
indep
that
they
provide,
gives
us
the
baseline
information,
that's
absolutely
necessary
to
identify
what
appropriate
policies
we
can
implement
that
will
both
reduce
our
emissions
and
optimize
our
investments.
Simply,
we
can't
manage
what
we
can't
count.
E
So
the
importance
of
a
robust,
accurate,
transparent
and
up-to-date
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventory
is
highlighted
in
nevada's
state
climate
strategy
that
was
issued
in
december
of
last
year.
The
strategy
states
the
following
as
it
relates
to
ab452
to
support
a
comprehensive
and
consistent
evaluation
of
ghg
emissions
reductions,
benefits
from
policies
across
the
state.
Nevada's
inventory
capabilities
need
to
expand
number
two:
the
individual
evaluations
of
climate
mitigation
policies,
illuminated
additional
data
needs.
E
Finally,
the
climate
strategy
is
very
clear
that
climate
action
is
not
a
revenue
neutral
proposition,
but
the
cost
of
inaction
in
action
is
far
greater.
All
this
considered,
the
goals
of
ab452
are
consistent
with
the
state
climate
strategy.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
with
that
turn
it
back
over
to
the
administrator
to
you,
madam
chair.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
are
there
any
other
statements
that
you'd
like
to
make,
because
I
do
have
a
couple
of
members
that
are
waiting
in
the
queue
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
so
I
believe
I
have
majority
leader
teresa
venez-thompson
had
a
question.
I.
B
I
guess
what
I'm
most
concerned
about
is
breaking
the
nexus
between
how
we
collect
these
dollars
and
what
they're
collected
for
you
know
specific
to
the
petroleum
cleanup
and
then
tie
a
nexus
to
air,
and
I
think
they're,
all
good
battles
like
right.
Like
don't
get
me
wrong
there.
We
have
to
fight
on
many
fronts,
but
I
I
don't
know
that
we're
at
the
point
where
we
say
that
we're
ready
to
divert
money
away
from
our
the
ground
soil
issue,
especially
with
our
the
underground
heating
storage
tanks.
B
I
mean
right
now
as
it
is,
if
you
look
at
the
list
of
all
of
the
underground,
like
heating
oil
tanks
that
are
out
there
and
we've
got
a
fund
specifically
to
help
with
cleaning
up
their
their
oil
tanks
and
their
buried
oil
tanks.
But
we
have
nothing
for
residents
right.
So
there's
the
you
know
you
look
at
that
list
and
there's
there's
thousands
of
you
know
oil
tanks
and
no
assistance
to
help
with
with
that
aspect.
B
B
G
Thank
you,
assemblyman
benitez
thompson,
greg
lovato
for
the
record,
so
yeah
a
couple
of
responses
to
your
your
good
question
and
concern.
Rest
assured.
The
petroleum
fund
is
able
to
take
care
of
all
the
reimbursements
and
demands
related
to
investigation
and
cleanup
of
releases
of
petroleum,
including
heating,
oil
tanks
from
residences.
G
We
actually
compared
our
performance
across
some
different
states
and
we're
proceeding
very
well
in
terms
of
you
know,
cutting
into
you
know
getting
the
cleanups
done.
We
obviously
do
have
some
cases
that
are
more
difficult
depending
on
you
know
the
individual
site
specific
circumstances,
but
we
can
provide
some
more
information
about.
You
know
how
well
the
petroleum
fund
is
doing.
I
do
know
that
the
folks
who
mostly
benefit
from
the
fund,
including
the
petroleum
marketers
association,
is
aware
of
this
bill
and
I
don't
think
they're
expressing
any
opposition
or
concern
with
respect
to.
G
You
know
that
aspect
in
terms
of
diverting
money,
and
so
you
know,
if
you
look
at
how
much
money
has
been
transferred
to
the
highway
fund
you're
looking
at
between.
Like
I
mentioned,
I
think,
2.7
and
7.4
million
has
been
transferred
each
year
since
2013..
G
So
and
that's
after
taking
care
of
you
know
all
the
cleanups,
whatever
amount
over
7.5
million
is
sitting.
There
then
goes
to
the
highway
fund
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
had
thought
it
made
sense
to
access
these
funds
is
because
transportation
emissions
are
the
largest
source
of
ghg
emissions.
Now
in
nevada
and
currently
the
way
ndep
funds
ghg
inventory
work
is
we
actually
use
our
permitting
fees
from
stationary
sources?
G
To
date,
we
have
not
been
allowed
to
use
federal
grants
that
may
change.
If
federal
grants
become
available
for
us
to
do
ghg
inventory
work,
we
will
not
need
to
access
this,
but
that
hasn't
been
the
case
in
the
past.
Even
since
2008,
and
so
I
think,
I
think,
we're
well
in
hand
in
terms
of
handling
petroleum,
plum,
cleanups
and
we
can
provide
more
data
if
you
would
like
it
and
and
that's
what
we
see
as
the
nexus
to
transportation
and
why
we
identified
this
as
a
potential
source
of
funding.
B
I've
got
a
big
chunk
of
old
southwest
reno
and
so
a
lot
more
familiar
with
this
issue
a
few
years
back
because
had
residents
who
had
issues
with
underground
storage,
heating,
oil
tanks
and
and
and
the
residential
piece
to
me
just
seemed
like
they
weren't
able
to
get
help
or
access
with
getting
those
removed,
and
it
seemed,
and
so
I
I
guess
it,
the
experience
I
had
with
my
constituents
in
trying
to
access
some
of
these
to
address
their
soil
concerns
in
their
you
know,
in
their
backyard
was,
was
a
different
experience
than
what
I
heard
represented,
but
I'm
keeping
I'm
keeping
open
ears.
K
Thank
you
chair.
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
fiscal
note:
that's
attached
to
this
bill.
It
looks
like
the
fiscal
note
comes
from
the
department
of
transportation
and
and
I'm
having
I'm
having
trouble
reading
this,
so
they
recognized
that
ab452
would
require
the
addition
of
one
new
fte
to
address
the
annual
efforts,
the
reoccurring
annual
efforts.
K
G
Thank
you,
assemblyman
peters,
greg
lovato
for
the
record,
so
we
were
aware
that
ndot
was
going
to
place
a
fiscal
note.
My
understanding
and
I
believe,
they're
going
to
be
available
to
testify
today
in
neutral
on
on
that
and
their
fiscal
note
is
that
they
were
were
wanting
to
highlight
the
the
ongoing
requirement
that
ndot
would
have
to
basically
cooperate
in
the
in
the
nevada,
climate
initiative
and
ghg
reporting
in
particular,
and
so
I'll
kind
of
defer
to
them.
G
They're
actually
asking
for
appropriations
that
are
related
to
this
500
000.
I
think
they're
merely
just
talking
about
the
level
of
effort
related
to
ghd
reporting
in
general.
A
A
So
if
I
could
do
just
a
quick
follow-up
on
on
ms
benius
thompson's
concern
about
residents,
so
I
heard
her
saying
that
residents
were
having
some
issues,
but
I
heard
you
saying
that
you
do
help
residents.
So
what
is
the
program
that
you
do
to
help
residents
with
this?
Is
it
just
a
stipend
to
help
them
deal
with
it,
and
how
does
that
program?
Compare
to
the
bigger
program
of
the
removal
of
the
larger
tanks
in
in,
in
other
places,.
G
Thank
you,
chair
cover
for
the
record,
greg
lovato,
so
the
heating
oil
tank
cleanups
for
residences.
They
have
a
bit
of
a
different
place
with
the
system.
When
you
talk
about
normal
underground
storage
tanks
at
like
a
gas
station,
they
actually
have
an
enrollment
fee
of
100
per
year,
and
then
they
also
have
a
kind
of
a
copay
of
ten
percent.
Basically
up
to
you
know
the
cost
of
the
cleanup,
and
so
that
could
be
as
much
as
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
G
So
that's
the
gas
station
example
in
terms
of
heating
oil
tanks.
It's
pretty
simple.
They
basically
just
need
to
test
the
tank
to
see
if
it
was
leaking
prior
to
getting
enrollment.
If
it
was
not
leaking,
then
they
can
enroll
for
250
and
then
they
can
actually
get
reimbursement
for
whatever
cleanup
is
needed,
and
so
it's
it's.
I
think
there
may
be
individual
specific
circumstances,
but,
depending
on
you
know,
individual
and
we'd
be
happy
to
follow
up
on
any
specific
cases.
G
But
by
and
large
we
have
a
pretty
successful
record
of
managing
underground
storage,
cleanups
and
heating
oil
cases.
You
know
all
over
the
place,
but
sorry
it
looks
like
my
looks
like
my
motion.
Detector
went
off
there
and
so
so
we'd
be
happy
to
follow
up
on
any
specific
instances
where
someone
feels
like
they
didn't
get.
G
Financial
assistance,
because
you
know
for
the
most
part,
we
think
we're
pretty
successful
in
in
getting
those
cleaned
up
and
and.
G
Purpose
of
the
fund
is
to
help
get
those
cleaned
up.
Sometimes
folks,
we
aren't
able
to
get
all
of
it
out
because
it
might
undermine
the
foundation.
You
know,
and
so
we
wouldn't
necessarily
try
to
fund.
That
kind
of
you
know
level
of
ex
level
of
financial
assistance,
but
only
what
would
be
needed
to
kind
of
protect
the
soil
and
the
groundwater
and
any
any
potential
receptors
nearby.
So.
B
G
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
elaborating
on
that.
So,
if
a
resident
did
not
realize
that
they
needed
to
enroll
once
they
had
a
problem,
their
ship
has
sailed
on,
and
so
I
think
that
might
be
an
issue
that
we
might
want
to
figure
out
a
public
education
campaign
on
or
something
along
that
line
to
make
sure
folks
know
it's
kind
of
along
the
lines
of
the
sewer
issues
that
we
have
in
southern
nevada.
A
A
B
You,
madam
chair,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
question.
Mr
lovato
does
this:
is
this
the
same
fun,
the
same
amount
of
money
that
we
heard
you
present
to
a
previous
committee
regarding
the
petroleum
funds
that
we
raise
the
amount
of
monies
that
that
industry
with,
as
you
mentioned,
the
larger
fuel
tanks,
if
they
had
to
remediate
that
property,
we
increased
the
amount
of
funds
they
were
able
to
access
for
that
cleanup.
Is
this
the
same
pot
of
money.
G
B
G
M
G
In
that
bill
there
was
a
request,
an
amendment
from
petroleum
marketers,
to
allow
the
ceiling
to
be
raised
for
certain
cleanups,
and
so
it's
not
that
there's
not
enough
money
in
the
fund
to
fund
those.
It's
that
individual
individual
projects-
and
you
know
out
of
the
thousands
of
projects
that
the
the
cleanup
fund
has
funded
over
the
years.
G
There
are
a
few
that
have
exceeded
the
existing
coverage
amounts,
and
so
this
would
allow
that
assemblyville
authority
would
allow
an
increased
coverage
amount
for
those
particular
cases,
but
we're
definitely
not
seeing
any
cleanup
being
held
up
right
now
because
of
lack
of
funding.
G
If
that
was
just
a
request
from
those
folks
so
that
they
don't
actually
have
to
access
what
we
currently
are
accessing
and
it's
a
little
complicated,
there's
a
million
that's
offered
for
cleanup
and
then
there's
the
fund
also
covers
a
million
to
address
what
are
called
third-party
liability
damages.
G
C
B
G
B
I
don't
want
to
rediscuss
that
bill
because
it's
not
appropriate
for
this
bill,
but
what
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that
there
was
adequate
funding
for
what
the
goals
are,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
these
are
these
funds?
Are
all
industry
paid
funds
correct?
These
are
not
general
fund
dollars,
correct.
G
Assembly
when
titus
greg
lavar
correct,
so
these
are
a
fee
that
is
collected
by
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
on
fuel,
imported
or
refined
in
this
state.
Okay,
this
is
a
feat
made
by
industry.
A
You're
welcome
dr
titus,
but
if
we
carry
that
domino
one
one
more
time,
if
it's
a
fee,
that's
collected
that
I'm
sure
the
folks
that
are
paying
that
fee
pass
it
along
to
the
taxpayers
as
part
of
the
cost
of
doing
business.
I
would
assume
it's
built
into
the
the
fuel
rates.
G
Thank
you
sure,
carlton,
greg
lavon
for
the
record,
that's
correct
and,
and
this
bill
does
not
propose
to
increase
fees
or
decrease
fees.
Fees
will
remain
the
same.
This
this
bill
is
merely
requesting
that
a
portion
of
what
already
is
transferred
to
the
state
highway
fund
be
allowed
to
be
used
for
the
ghd
inventory.
A
And
I
appreciate
that
so
so
anyone
who
buys
fuel
in
this
state
is
contributing.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
where
I
was
trying
to
take
it
so
committee
members
other
questions
at
this
time.

league
here
in
support
of
ab-452
as
home
to
some
of
the
fastest
warming
cities
in
the
united
states,
nevada
is
already
feeling
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
Our
state
has
made
strides
to
become
a
cleaner
and
greener
state,
but
we
are
still
not
on
track
to
meet
our
climate
goals
and
there
is
still
plenty
of
work
to
be
done.
E
The
nevada
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources
has
been
tasked
with
preparing
annual
reports
that
include
a
statewide
inventory
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
as
well
as
projected
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
These
reports
provide
the
framework
for
the
legislature
to
determine
what
policies
are
needed
to
meet
our
state's
climate
goals,
and
we
must
make
sure
that
ccnr
has
the
resources
and
information
they
need
to
prepare
them.
We
strongly
urge
your
support
on
ab452.
F

Good

easier
and
quicker
to

Section
1
of

to
submit
necessary
information
to
the
state
department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources
to
prepare
the
annual
greenhouse

We
want
to
note
the

I
F
M
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
andrew
klinger,
chief
financial
officer
for
the
nevada
system
of
higher
education,
I
also
have
on
the
line
with
me
vice
chancellor
nate
mckinnon,
to
answer
any
questions
here
to
present
ab454,
which
makes
an
appropriation
to
the
nevada
promise
scholarship
program
in
the
amount
of
7.3
million.
M
This
amount
was
derived
using
the
fall
of
2020
numbers
of
approximately
1400
students,
with
a
disbursement
of
1.83
million.
That
amount
was
carried
forward
to
project
for
fiscal
years,
22
and
23,
which
is
how
we
arrived
at
the
7.3
million
projection,
and
with
that
madam
chair
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
klinger.
You
you
glassed
upon
how
you
came
upon
the
number,
but
if
you
could
expand
a
little
bit
about
what
year
that
your
your
base
year,
that
you're
using
and
how
we
actually
came
up
with
the
seven
million
three
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
six
dollars.
M
Sure,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
andrew
klinger,
so
we
used
the
fall
recipient
count
for
fall
of
2020
and
we
had
1371
recipients
of
the
scholarship
and
the
amount
at
the
time
that
we
used
to
estimate
for
the
fall
of
2020
was
1
million,
832
000,
and
so
that
number
was
used.
The
one
million
eight
hundred
and
thirty
two
thousand
was
then
used
to
project
for
both
20
fiscal,
22
and
23.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
always
good
to
have
all
of
that
on
the
record.
So
with
that,
I
would
be
happy
to
open
it
up
to
any
community
members
that
have
any
questions
for
mr
clinger,
mr
roberts.
N
M
M
M
We
were
not
able
to
use
those,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we
authorized
the
institutions
for
the
spring
of
21
only
to
use
a
portion
of
what
we
call
student
access
funds,
and
so
those
are
essentially
when
a
student
pays.
Their
registration
fee
up
to
15
of
that
fee
goes
into
student
access
funds
which
are
used
for
scholarships,
and
so
we
did
use
for
the
spring
of
21.
We
did
use
about
346
000
of
student
access
funds
to
cover
the
difference.
N
Ed,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
answer
and
thank
you
ma'am
chair
for
the
the
question.
I
I
just
recall
that
there
were
some
adjustments
made
and
you
know
I
I
think
it's
an
important
fund
and
just
want
to
get
to
all
the
facts.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
roberts,
so,
mr
klinger,
so
because
the
student
access
funds
and,
in
essence,
back
build
those
dollars.
Will
any
of
these
dollars
go
to
pay
back
that
student
access
fund,
or
is
that
the
books
are
closed
on
them
and
we're
moving
forward,
and
these
dollars
will
all
go
towards
this
next
round
for
the
nevada
promise
scholarship.
M
Madam
chair,
for
the
record,
all
of
these
funds
will
go
towards
scholarship
recipients.
The
student
access
funds
will
not
be
paid
back.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
knew
that
was
going
to
be
one
of
the
next
questions,
so
just
get
it
on
the
record.
While
we
can
so
committee
members
any
other
questions
of
mr
klinger
on
this
item,
not
seeing
any
at
this
time
so
with
that
broadcast
services,
if
you
would
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
those
in.

effectiveness
chief
at

F
L
L
L
I've
been
a
promise
recipient
for
the
last
two
years,
and
something
I've
come
to
realize
is
that
the
promise
scholarship
is
more
than
a
scholarship
that
provides
funding
to
students
since
becoming
a
recipient
of
the
scholarship.
The
scholarships
has
made
me
a
better
version
of
myself
and
a
role
model
that
my
little
brother
cannot
look
up
to
because
of
the
scholarship.
I
have
been
more
involved
in
my
community
and
I've
realized
the
importance
of
civic
engagement
through
volunteering
at
numerous
organizations
to
fulfill
my
community
service
requirement.
L
The
scholarship
has
given
me
the
opportunity
to
work
closely
with
my
peers
and
ensure
they
graduate
with
a
degree
by
allowing
me
to
become
a
program
facilitator
for
the
scholarship
by
working
closely
with
promise
coordinators
and
other
csm
faculty.
I
have
been
a
helping
hand
and
bringing
attention
to
the
importance
of
mentorship
in
a
college
student's
life,
along
with
raising
awareness,
two
obstacles
that
first
generation
college
students
undergo
again.
This
would
not
have
been
achievable
without
the
nevada
promise
scholarship.
L
By
my
side,
I
am
the
living
testimony
for
why
this
scholarship
should
continue
to
be
funding
before
the
scholarship.
I
did
not
have
direction.
I
didn't
realize
my
potential
and
didn't
have
the
need
of
support
to
achieve
greatness.
After
becoming
a
part
of
the
scholarship.
I
have
maintained
a
4.0
each
semester.
I
have
earned
the
reason.
The
prestigious
regent
scholar
award
for
my
school
become
a
familiar
face
in
my
community
due
to
volunteering,
and
I've
become
a
beacon
of
hope
for
people
that
look
for
me,
a
committee
and
chairwoman
carlton.
Please
continue
with
the
scholarship.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
klinger.
You
probably
should
just
let
him
present
the
bill
so
with
that.
The
next
person
in
support.
F
C
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
randy
robertson,
again
r-a-n-d-y,
r-o-b-I-s-o-n
speaking
tonight,
or
on
this
bill
in
my
role
as
chair
of
the
institutional
advisory
council
at
the
college
of
southern
nevada.
You've
had
plenty
of
good
testimony.
Most
importantly,
you
just
heard
from
one
of
our
amazing
students
your
scholarship
recipient,
and
I
can
tell
you,
having
had
the
privilege
of
speaking
with
a
number
of
recipients,
students
who
received
the
promise
scholarship.
C
What
you
the
legislature
has
done
with
this
scholarship
has
absolutely
changed
lives,
so
I
couldn't
be
in
more
support
of
this
bill
tonight.
In
fact,
if
you
want
to
put
some
more
money
in
that.
A
And
thank
you,
mr
robinson.
It's
a
good
thing
that
those
in
support
are
not
allowed
to
make
motions.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
the
next
person
in
support.
F
F
F
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
mr
klinger
I'll
come
back
to
you.
If
you
do
have
any
closing
comments,
but
I
think
some
of
the
folks
you
had
did
an
excellent
job
of
sharing
with
us
how
they
feel
about
the
bill.
Are
there
any
closing
comments.
M
G
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair
nate,
mckinnon
for
the
record,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
considering
this
today,
and
we
would
just
like
to
also
invite
all
members
of
the
legislature
if
you
would
be
willing
to
consider
becoming
a
mentor
for
the
nevada
promise
program.
We
are
very
much
in
need
of
mentors.
Please
help
spread
the
word.
G
Hit
on
the
number
of
mentors
available
and
our
as
you
can
hear,
our
promise,
students
are
fantastic
and
the
mentoring
component
is
a
huge
part
of
the
program,
but
we
need
responsible
adults
who
are
willing
to
give
just
a
little
bit
of
time
each
semester.
So
please,
if
you
could
contact
your
local
community
college,
we'd,
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
again.
A
A
And
I
believe
I
have
mr
friedman,
I'm
not
sure
who's
testifying
on
this
one
is
mr
friedman,
testifying.
C
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
This
is
myron
friedman,
I'm
the
acting
administrator
for
the
division
of
museums
and
history,
part
of
the
department
of
tourism
and
cultural
affairs,
and
I'm
here
to
to
speak
on
the
bill
ab460.
This
is
a
one-time
appropriation
to
the
division
of
museums
and
history.
This
is
for
our
school
bus
program.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
so
I
guess
my
question
is
since
I
was
involved
with
the
inception
of
of
this
idea
in
being
a
member
of
the
museum
in
southern
nevada
and
working
with
the
the
wonderful
volunteers
at
the
museum
in
southern
nevada.
A
A
Where
exactly
are
we
because
I
know
we've
done
a
little
bit
more
than
that
in
the
past
to
make
sure
that
we
had
enough
students
statewide.
So
how
did
we
pick
the
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
Thank
you,
chairman
friedman,
for
the
record.
The
program
was
still
ramping
up
in
those
early
in
that
early
in
those
early
years
when
it
was
first
established,
so
we
were
returning
funds
to
the
treasury,
and
so
this
is
a
modest,
a
more
modest
request,
but
it
does
cover
the
sort
of
historic
attendance
that
we
we
had
and
we
also
have
to
factor
in
that
the
schools
will
need
to
ramp
up
from
the
pandemic
period,
where
you
know
bringing
the
students
100
back
to
the
school.
We're
not
exactly
sure.
C
You
know
what
that's
going
to
look
like
in
the
next
in
the
next
biennium.
So
it's
it's.
It
is
a
more
modest
approach
this
time,
but
based
on
the
historic
numbers
we
feel
it
will
cover
the
demand.
A
Okay,
and
can
you
tell
me
before
the
pandemic
the
school
year
before
the
pandemic,
how
many
students
access
this
program.
C
Well,
in
2018
it
was
6168
and
then
it
ramped
up
quite
a
bit
in
2019
to
10
629,
he's
largely
from
clark
county,
but
also
washoe
county
as
as
well
so
in
2022
we're
estimating
kind
of
splitting
the
difference
a
little
bit
and
estimating
7
600
students
in
2022,
and
then
we're
bumping
that
up
in
2023
to
8
000
students,
so
we're
we're
prepared
for.
C
Obviously,
we
would
be
prepared
for
more,
but
just
based
on
the
historic
numbers
we
feel
this
is.
This
is
a
viable
number.
C
F
K
I'm
calling
as
a
current
high
school
history
teacher
and
a
former
middle
school
history
teacher,
as
well
as
a
wea
nsca
member,
and
I
just
wanted
to
support
this
bill
and
support
this
program.
As
a
history
teacher,
I
can
tell
you
the
importance
of
having
students,
see
history
and
not
just
read
about
it
on
the
page
cannot
be
overstated,
and
I
think
especially
coming
out
of
this
pandemic
year.
K
K
It
creates
this
system
where
kids
can
see
who
is
paying
for
the
bus
and
who
is
not-
and
I
just
think
that
this
program
removes
all
of
that
by
taking
out
that
stress
and
allowing
all
of
our
students,
regardless
of
their
ability,
to
pay,
to
really
engage
with
our
state's
history
and
take
advantage
of
a
really
great
program.
So
I
am
in
support
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
F
F
F
F
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that,
mr
friedman,
did
you
have
any
closing
comments.
C
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
want
to
echo
my
recruitment
for
the
record,
the
callers,
who
called
in
and
support
how
important
it
is
that
the
students
engage
with
nevada
history
in
these
museums,
where
we
have
the
real
stuff
on
display.
It
makes
a
big
impression
on
them.
It
helps
the
teachers,
and
so
I
thank
the
committee
for
their
consideration
and
look
forward
to
many
students
visiting
our
students
in
our
museums
in
the
coming
in
the
coming
years.
A
A
A
J
I'm
here
with
me,
I
have
david
schmidt,
our
economist
carlene
johnson,
who
is
the
deputy
administrator
for
workforce,
troy,
jordan,
our
senior
legal
counsel,
jenny,
casselman,
the
deputy
director
chris
sewell,
our
chief
operating
officer
and
legislative
liaison.
So
we
should
be
able
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
to
provide
a
very
brief
background.
J
Ab
459
is
the
policy
bill
that
implements
the
governor,
recommends
budget
priority
of
moving
the
office
of
workforce
innovation
or
owen
to
dieter.
As
you
noted,
it
is
the
companion
bill
to
owen's
budget
items
that
were
considered
this
morning
at
the
joint
finance
meeting.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
move.
J
J
This
is
a
move
to
put
owen
as
a
unit
in
an
agency
deter
where
they
can
receive
financial
management,
support
grants,
monitoring,
tracking
support
and
human
resources
assistance.
The
governor's
office
really
is
not
set
up
to
provide
these
services
and
this
support
to
the
owen
team,
so
this
move
also
will
allow
owen
staff
members
to
focus
on
their
mission
and
not
have
to
be
part-time,
bookkeepers
and
hr
experts.
J
J
And
finally,
this
will
allow
owen
and
dieter
to
tap
into
the
program
and
expertise
concerning
workforce
development
and
our
research
and
analysis.
So
we
can
all
do
our
jobs
better
and
more
efficiently
by
communicating
more
clearly
just
for
your
awareness.
We
do
anticipate
that
there
will
be
some
an
amendment
with
some
technical
changes
to
make
sure
this
language
conforms
with
federal
requirements.
J
I
note
that
sections
three
through
six
of
the
bill
basically
mirror
the
language
that
created
owen
in
the
governor's
office,
but
moved
that
to
dieter
specifically
section
three
creates
the
office
of
workforce
innovation
and
it
also
gives
owen
the
responsibility
for
apprenticeship
programs
in
the
state
section.
4
sets
out
that
the
governor
appoints
the
executive
director
of
owen
and
changes
the
executive
director
from
a
non-classified
position
to
an
unclassified
position,
section
five
lists
the
responsibilities
of
the
executive
director
and
again
we'd
note.
J
This
language
is
an
exact,
mirror,
exact
copy
of
the
current
law,
but
it
just
moves
it
to
a
different
chapter
in
the
nrs
section.
6
mirrors
the
law
that
requires
dieter
the
department
of
education
and
she
and
the
dmv
to
provide
education
and
workforce
data
to
be
included
in
the
statewide
longitudinal
data
system
or
what
you
would
know
as
inpower.
J
The
rest
of
the
sections
are
complete
the
conforming
changes
so
sections
seven
and
eight
make
the
changes
in
nrs
232
again
to
move
owen
to
dieter
sections.
9
10
and
13
amend
nrs
400
to
describe
the
duties
of
the
empower
research
data
system,
advisory
committee
that
assists
owen,
which
will
now
be
at
dieter
sections,
11
and
12,
amend
610,
which
describes
the
duties
of
the
state
apprenticeship,
council
and
the
state
apprenticeship
director,
section
14
re
says
that
any
reports
to
the
legislature
required
by
this
law
will
remain
the
same
section.
J
A
And
thank
you
very
much
miss
caparetta.
I
guess
my
first
question
will
be
the
same.
One
that
I
expressed.
A
little
concern
over
this
morning
seems
like
yesterday,
but
it
really
was
this
morning
in
the
original
conversations
about
owen
owen
being
constructed
out
of
components
of
dieter
and
the
labor
commissioner
being
put
together
moved
to
the
governor's
office.
We
are
now
unwinding
that
we're
untying
this
the
strings
on
that
and
moving
things
back.
A
If
you
could
address
the
issue
with
the
apprenticeship
program,
because
it
was
not
with
dieter
before
it
was
in
the
labor
commissioner's
office,
and
it
just
seems
that,
if
we're
going
to
put
things
back
where
they
were
to
possibly
get
back
to
square
one,
I'd
like
to
have
a
conversation
about
the
apprenticeship
program
and
what
the
thought
process
on
that
is
and
what
the
conversations
are
around.
That
issue.
J
Thank
you,
alisa
cafaretta,
for
the
record.
I
I
have
a
a
few
things
I
can
share
with
you
about
that,
and
that
will
probably
need
to
be
an
ongoing
conversation.
So
first
we
are
aware
that
the
governor's
office
has
been
having
conversations
about
the
appropriate
place
for
the
apprenticeship
council
to
live
the
move,
to
put
it
in
owen
sort
of
predates
my
service
with
the
state.
J
J
So
I
think
that
that
is
the
the
important
goal
for
the
program
is
to
make
sure
we
are
continuing
to
build
the
workers
for
all
of
the
industries
that
we
need
in
nevada.
So
I
I
believe
there
is
there
had.
The
conversation
has
started
about
where
the
apprenticeship
council
ultimately
lands
and
that
will
be
ongoing.
E
A
A
Miss
peters.
Did
you
have
a
question?
A
K
K
Dieter
has
a
lot
on
their
plate,
currently
just
wanting
to
make
sure
that
if
this
change
does
happen,
the
staff
that's
currently
in
owen
would
be
transferred
with
the
duties
to
continue
the
work
along
with
the
budget.
That
goes
with
those
positions
is
that
true.
J
Alisa
cappareta
for
the
record.
Yes,
the
the
intent
of
the
this
move
and
the
language
of
the
bill
both
are
that
the
soon
to
be
ten
people
at
owen
will
move
as
a
unit
just
on
the
organization
chart
they're,
not
physically
moving.
We
don't
think.
J
Will
move
to
dieter
and,
while
I
know
folks
are
concerned
that
dieter
has
a
lot
on
its
plate,
those
those
soon
to
be
10
staff
will
still
do
the
work
that
they
are
doing.
We.
We
believe
that
this
actually
makes
the
work
easier
for
both
dieter
and
for
owen,
because
we
can
directly
have
the
funds
in
the
budget
without
doing
the
sub,
granting
the
monitoring
the
the
tracking
and
the
reporting
we're
taking
out
a
whole
layer
of
administration
for
all
of
us
on
both
sides
of
the
equation
and
those
those
staff.
K
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
appreciate
you
putting
that
on
the
record,
because
that
was
a
concern
that
was
brought
up
this
morning
and,
as
we
come
out
of
this
pandemic
and
people
are
may
not
be
able
to
go
back
to
the
jobs
they
have
before
the
retraining
of
jobs
and
and
having
that
the
unemployment
issues
tie
into
going
into
whatever
that
new
career
field
that
they
may
be,
I
think,
would
be
ideal,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
this
plays
out,
but
just
think
the
apprenticeship
should
be
placed
somewhere
else.
A
H
Thank
you
so
much
chair
and
vice
chair,
and
I
actually
really
appreciate
the
comments
of
my
two
colleagues
before
in
regards
to
as
we
as
we
talk
as
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
all
the
puzzle
pieces.
H
I
I
I
concur
that
that
you
know
the
questions
around
the
apprenticeship
program
and
whether
or
not
that's
appropriate
to
go
back
to
where
it
was
before,
and
the
labor
commissioner,
I'm
very
interested
in
that
conversation
too,
and
I
I
agree
so
I
appreciate
I
appreciate
that
coming
up
so
and
I
do
appreciate
the
opening
remarks
about
it's
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
it
is
we're
trying
to
solve
and
why
this
would
be
more
beneficial
for
owen
in
deter.
H
I
appreciate
that
the
reasoning
that
was
given
in
this
presentation
is
that
there's
some
administrative
support
that
is
needed
and
is
lacking
and
that
there
also
is
there
some
streamlining
in
that
reporting
process.
That
was
helpful.
I
actually
even
drove
up
through
a
little
triangle,
with
dieter
as
to
the
department
of
administration,
then
back
to
owen.
So
that
was
helpful.
H
So
in
section
five
under
section
two
or
section
one,
the
executive
director
is
to
provide
support
to
the
department.
The
governor's
workforce
investment
board,
then
section
set
up
section.
2
is
in
coordination
with
the
office
of
economic
development,
then
down
in
section
3d
in
consultation
with
the
governor's
workforce.
Investment
board,
then
back
down
to
section
in
coordination
with
the
governor
and
the
governor's
work
workforce
investment
board
same
thing
with
I
same
thing
with
jay
same
thing,
with
k
so
or
not,
k
actually
stops
at
j.
H
So
when
I
read
that
section,
it's
the
governor's
office
is
all
over
it.
So
if
our
goal
is
to
try
and
increase
that
communication
and
keep
that
streamline
it,
just
I
understand
there's
administrative
benefit
to
put
it
under
deter,
but
would
that
also
create?
Then
all
these
other
communication
backgrounds
that
are
more
easily
streamlined
by
staying
in
the
governor's
office.
J
Alisa
capareta
for
the
record,
so
I
would
answer
that
by
saying
that
first
of
all,
the
executive
director
of
owen
will
still
be
appointed
by
the
governor,
so
it
is
a
governor's
appointment
serving
out
the
pleasure
of
the
governor.
So
that's
a
direct
relationship
and
a
direct
report.
J
The
second
thing
is
this:
the
the
executive
director
of
owen
is
actually
considered
a
cabinet
level
position,
and
that
also
remains
the
same.
So
the
the
importance
of
the
position
and
the
work
remains
the
same.
The
access
to
all
the
other
cabinet
level
directors
is
the
same,
and
it's
certainly
the
intention
of
the
governor's
office
to
continue
to
rely
heavily
on
owen
for
this
support,
and
this
reporting
and
the
coordinating
function
that
they
are
providing
we
are.
J
We
at
dieter
are
in
very
regular
communication
with
the
governor's
office,
they're
very
accessible,
as
I'm
sure
you
are
all
aware.
So
I
I
don't
think
that
that
will
change
what
changes
is
that
they
are
freed
up
from
having
to
then
also
do
this
administrative
work
and
when,
as
I'm
sure,
you
can
appreciate
when
you're
administering
federal
grants,
the
the
administrative
burden
is
quite
large,
and
so
them
have
being
able
to
rely
on
our
grant
staff.
J
H
Thank
you.
So
I
appreciate
that.
I
do
wonder
if
maybe
the
fix
is
then
to
just
provide
a
little
more
administrative
support
where
it's
housed
today
to
help
with
that
function.
But
my
next
question
is
in
section
six
subsection
one
that
it
says
here
that
in
regards
to
the
workforce
data,
the
statewide
longitudinal
data
system,
which,
by
the
way,
I've
always
found
incredibly
impressive,
I've
actually
sat
at
the
desk
with
the
person
who
used
to
manage
it.
H
I
think
it's
a
phenomenal
program
and
the,
but
in
section
6,
subsection
1,
it
starts
to
list
off
who
reports
back
to
owen,
and
this
is
the
only
time
other
than
transferring
the
office
over
that
deters
specifically
mentioned,
and
so
it
says
that
dieter
will
then
report
back
to
owen
within
deer.
Along
with
other.
You
know,
agencies
like
the
department
of
education
is
that
am
I
reading
that
correct.
J
Elisa
caferetta
for
the
record,
so
I
would
say
this
is
the
tricky
thing
about
reading
bills
when
it
talks
earlier
in
this
bill
about
the
department
or
the
director
that
is
specifically
the
deter
department
and
deter
director
that
are
being
referenced,
and
so,
while
it
isn't
spelled
out,
the
the
bill
actually
is
referring
to
dieter
throughout
this
particular
reference
in
section.
6
is
not
that
we
are
reporting
to
owen.
J
These
are
the
public
agencies
that
report
this
specific
data
to
the
empower
system
which,
as
you
say,
is
impressive,
and
that
was
okay,
okay
and
dave.
Schmidt
is
very
involved
with
that.
If
you
have
more
questions
about
it
specifically,
but
this
is
just
a
list
of
agencies
at
a
minimum
that
provide
data
to
that
reporting
system.
H
Thank
you
and
I
see
that
the
street
lights
are
going
to
be
turning
on
soon.
So
I
will.
I
will
ask
no
more
questions,
but
I
really
really
do
appreciate
this
discussion.
I
think
it's
an
important
one.
I
appreciate
madam
chair
of
the
indulgence
to
help
us
understand
all
the
moving
pieces
and
I
appreciate
that
we
share
some
of
those
same
goals.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
appreciate
the
presentation
this
evening
and
and
I
think,
assuming
women
tolls
covered
some
of
the
stuff
that
I
was
talking
about.
I
had
a
couple
additional
questions
and,
and
you
kind
of
covered
it,
that
the
executive
director
is
a
cabinet
level
position
they're
moving
over
to
dieter,
who
will
they
report
to
at
dieter.
J
Alisa
cafareta
for
the
record.
We
the
bill
and
the
conversation
mostly
have
been
focused
on
moving
the
budget
piece
and
the
language
to
move
it
to
dieter
as
a
whole.
So
we
are
still
having
conversations
about
exactly
where
it
lives
in
our
organization
chart.
But
there
is
again
the
commitment
from
the
governor's
office
that
this
remains
the
governor's
office
of
workforce
innovation
with
the
cabinet
level
position
and
attention
and
focus.
N
J
Alisa
caprata
for
the
record.
My
understanding
is
that
the
the
nevada,
indian
commission,
I
believe,
is
another
example
of
a
a
unit
that
is
within
another
agency.
J
That
also
has
a
cabinet
level
position,
so
it
is
not
unique
in
the
state
and
the
the
that
arrangement
is,
for
the
exact
same
reason
that
just
the
administrative
needs
of
small
commissions,
like
owen
and
like
the
nevada
indian
commission
are,
are
a
pretty
heavy
lift
if
you
have
a
small
staff,
so
they're
put
in
an
agency
to
support
those
administrative
pieces,
but
they
remain
on
the
cabinet.
N
Thank
you
one
last
question
and
you
may
not
know
the
answer.
Maybe
somebody
does
is
when,
when
it
was
moved
from
or
from
dieter
before
to
the
office
of
the
governor,
was
that
position
upgraded
to
a
cabinet
level
and
would
that
be
the
same
level
as
your
position?
Miss
caferetta
as
far
as
an
executive
director.
J
Lisa
calcareta
for
the
records.
Those
two
questions,
I
really
don't
know
I
I
would
say
I
would
correct
that
I
don't
think
owen
was
at
dieter
before
they
were
created
by
a
governor
sandoval.
I
believe
I
and
I
don't
know
I
can't
tell
if
isla
young
is
on
and
if
she
could
answer
that
question.
E
Hi,
yes,
ayla
young,
for
the
record
I
am
on
and
forgive
me,
would
you
mind
repeating
the
question.
N
Well,
I
I
I
I
could
have
been
an
error
that
if
it
was
created
and
originally
placed
in
the
office
of
the
governor,
that
it
wasn't
ever
moved
over
there,
my
my
curiosity
is
if
you're
moving
it
back
or
you're
moving
it
not
back
to
dieter
but
you're
moving
it
to
dieter,
and
you
know-
and
I
just
look
at
it
from
a
perspective
from
my
background
in
policing,
it'd
be
like
me
working
for
somebody
that
is
the
same
level
or
great
as
as
I
am,
and
structurally
it
may
not
make
sense
to
keep
the
person
at
that
level
if
they're
reporting
someone
of
the
same
same
level.
E
You
know
assemblyman
roberts.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
will
just
say
that
that
has
been
the
wish
of
the
governor's
office
that
I
would
maintain
that
even
with
the
move.
So
I
don't
really
have
additional
information
outside
of
that,
but
we
could
definitely
follow
up
with
more.
If
that
would
help.
N
A
You're
you're
welcome
mr
roberts,
and
I
was
here
when
it
was
moved
and
it
was.
It
was
a
created,
cabinet,
mobile
position,
oh
and
did
not
exist.
Different
components
were
put
together
over
much
confirmate
a
much
conversation
and
much
negotiation,
and
then
that
cabinet
level
position
was
actually
created.
A
There
were
a
number
of
issues
with
folks
that
were
in
that
position
off
and
on
over
a
couple
of
years,
but
I
think
what
I'd
like
this
capretta
to
to
confirm
is
it's
my
impression
that
this
cabinet
level
position
will
not
be
reporting
to
dieter.
It
will
just
be
co-located
with
deters
so
it's
not
as
if
they're
reporting
to
you
it's
more
of
a
symbiotic
relationship
with
the
administration
purposes,
and
it
will
still
have
all
the
jurisdiction
and
powers
that
it's
always
had.
A
J
Alisa
cappareta
for
the
record.
Yes,
that
is
that
is
my
understanding-
is
that
the
operations
continue
as
they
are
essentially.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
First
and
foremost,
I
just
want
to
thank
peter.
I
know
that
you
guys
the
last
year
have
been
really
working
hard
and
I'm
sure
you
guys
don't
get
appreciated
as
much
as
you
should,
and
so.
First
and
foremost,
thank
you
for
all
you're
doing
the
madam
chair
kind
of
addressed
my
question,
but
I
I
kind
of
rephrase
it
a
little
bit.
I
I
see
that
this
act
becomes
effective
july
1st
of
2021
and
with
all
the
moving
pieces.
D
Is
that
30-day
window
going
to
be
enough
time
for
you,
or
is
that
going
to
be
one
of
the
technical
changes
that
you're
you're
looking
at.
J
J
For
the
record,
I
believe
the
the
july
one
effective
date
is
important
because
of
the
movement
of
the
budget
pieces
we
we,
we
definitely
are
still
in
conversations
about
if,
if
we
can
make
that
deadline
so
that
that
may
need
to
be
amended.
But
but
I
believe
that
is
the
purpose
of
it
and
because
we're
not
physically
moving
anyone
changing
offices
or
any
of
those
things.
J
B
L
Start
thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Here,
you're
welcome
mr
heathman.
It's
a
it's
a
paper
move,
so
it's
a
budget
move
so
with
that
committee
members.
Are
there
other
questions
from
other
committee
members
at
this
time,
not
seeing
anyone?
We
will
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
phone
lines
then
so
broadcast
services.
If
you
could
please
open
up
the
phone
line
for
anyone
that
may
be
in
support
of
ab459.

C
W-I-L-L-I-A-M-S-T-A-N-L-E-Y
for
the
record,
we're
representing
the
southern
nevada
building
trade
and
the
northern
nevada
building
trades
for
in
this
meeting
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
building
trade
we'd
like
to
thank
the
governor
and
his
staff
for
working
on
this
bill
with
us.
The
building
trades
want
to
ensure
that
nevada's
apprenticeship
agency
remains
defined
in
statute.
C
This
body
worked
throughout
the
2017
and
2019
session
to
ensure
that
nevada's
apprenticeship
policies
remain
in
compliance
with
the
dol
regs
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
work
remains
intact
to
wrap
it
up.
We
want
to
thank
the
governor
staff
and
the
chair
and
woman
for
working
with
the
building
trades
on
this
important
issue,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
in
hopes
of
finding
a
resting
place
for
the
state,
apprenticeship,
council
and
the
state
apprenticeships
director
and
ensuring
that
the
state
remains
the
state
has
in
statute
an
agency,
that's
required
by
the
dol
regulations.
A
F
J
Nope,
we
will
provide
additional
information
to
you
as
we
get.
A
It
thank
you
very
much
miss
caparetta.
We,
we
appreciate
your
hard
work
as
always,
so
with
that
I
will

and
close
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
459
and
with
that
committee
members.
The
last
thing
on
our
agenda
this
evening
is
public
comment.
We
will
pause
for
just
a
moment
to
make
sure,
since
we
do
have
a
one
moment
delay
to
allow
folks
to
call
in
so
with
that,
give
it
a
moment
and
we'll
be
good
just
a
moment.
F
F
A
Thank

very
much
broadcast

for
your
assistance
in
helping
us
be
successful
in
this
ways
and
