B

A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
appreciate
the
indulgence
to
take
this
a
little
early,
but
we
do
have.
We
are
joined
remotely,
although
we
can't
see
them
here
today
by
the
members
of
our
nevada,
youth
legislature,
and
it
is
my
privilege
today
to
recognize
18
of
the
most
outstanding
student
leaders
in
our
own
state
and
of
course
I
am
referring
to
those
same
current
members
of
the
nyl
as
it
is
commonly
referred
to
nevada
youth
legislature.
C
The
nyl
was
statutorily
created
in
2007
by
a
bill
sponsored
by
senator
valerie
weiner.
Its
mission
focuses
on
giving
students
an
active
voice
in
representative
state
government
and
since
its
creation,
more
than
210
high
school
students
have
been
provided
with
an
opportunity
to
serve
as
youth
legislators.
C
We
are
very
proud
of
this
legislative
leadership
program
and
greatly
appreciate
its
impact
on
the
youth
of
nevada
through
the
years.
Others
have
also
recognized
the
unique
and
exemplary
impact
of
the
nyl.
To
date,
the
nyl
program
has
received
more
than
50
state
national
and
international
awards.
So
who
are
these
amazing
nevada,
youth
legislators?
C
They
are
high
school
students
who
are
appointed
by
their
elected
senators
to
represent
the
youth
of
their
districts
during
their
involvement.
In
this
two-year
program,
youth
legislators
spend
their
first
year
in
rigorous,
half-day
monthly
trainings,
which
I
know
many
of
us
have
been
to
to
watch
them
at
work
covering
such
skills
as
message:
accountability,
listening
presentations,
constituent
outreach
negotiating
and
so
much
more.
C
During
their
second
year,
youth
legislators
focus
on
the
legislative
process
from
framing
bill
ideas
to
drafting
legislation
to
narrowing
down
their
18
bill
proposals
to
one
bill
draft
request.
Unlike
any
other
program
in
this
country,
the
nyl
is
statutorily
allocated
one
bill
on
a
youth
related
issue,
each
legislative
session.
This
afternoon
we
will
be
joined
by
nyl
members
who
will
virtually
attend
and
participate
as
witnesses
during
a
senate
committee
hearing
on
senate
bill
108..
C
We
would
like
to
honor
four
specific
youth
legislators
who
participated
in
the
nyl
at
the
highest
level
during
their
two-year
terms,
each
of
them
attended
100
of
all
required
meetings
or
trainings
and
engaged
100
in
all
required
assignments.
These
individuals,
our
youth
legislature,
joanna
bieda,
youth
legislator,
melechty,
haley,
miskel
and
youthful
youth
legislator,
laila
mo
mo
moa
ceci
and
youth
legislator,
kirsten
springer.
C
It's
hard
to
believe,
frankly,
that
they're
just
of
high
school
age
and
maturity
and
intelligence,
because
their
meetings
are
conducted
so
eloquently
and
and
they're,
so
smart
and
so
engaged
with
one
another
and
with
the
other
students
that
they
represent.
It's
truly
an
honor
to
be
able
to
be
with
them,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
each
of
them
will
go
on
to
do
pretty
amazing
things,
because
they're
they're,
just
amazing
students,
and
I
would
encourage
anyone
who
is
free
this
afternoon
to
join
them
in
their
presentation
of
senate
bill.
C
108
last
session,
I
chaired
the
meeting
where
they
presented
their
youth
legislator
bill
which
ultimately
made
it
out
of
the
legislature
and
was
signed
into
law
and
was
a
great
bill
and
very
much
looking
forward
to
their
work
today
and
so
wanted
to
have.
Everyone
join
me
in
honoring
this
newest
class
from
the
nyl.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.

Madam
president,
senate
bill
98
expands
the
boundaries
of
the
carson
water
sub
conservancy
district
to
include
the
portions
of
story
county
that
are
within
the
carson
river
hydrologic
basin.
The
major
expands
a
membership
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
karst
water
self-concerning
district
from
11
to
13
members
by
including
two
residents
of
story
county
appointed
by
the
board
of
county
commissioners
of
story
county.
I
The
measure
excludes
the
portions
of
story
county,
though
that
are
within
the
district
from
the
taxable
property
on
which
the
board
of
directors
is
authorized
to
levy
a
certain
tax.
Instead,
the
board
of
county
commissioners
of
story
county
has
decided
to
pay
the
district
from
the
county's
general
fund
an
amount
equal
to
what
would
have
been
generated
by
such
tax
on
the
portion
of
story
county
that
is
within
the
carson
river
hydrological
basin.
The
bill
is
effective
on
july

2021.
Thank
you.

A

Thank
you.
President
assembly
bill
110
revises
the
nevada,
lobbying
disclosure
and
regulation
act
by
removing
the
requirement
that,
in
order
to
be
designated
as
a
lobbyist,
a
person
must
physically
appear
in
the
legislative
building
or
other
building
where
the
legislature's
committees
hold
meetings.
Assembly
bill
110
clarifies
that
a
person
is
not
considered
to
be
a
lobbyist
if
he
or
she
communicates
with
members
of
the
legislative
branch
on
an
infrequent
or
irregular
basis
and
does
not
otherwise
engage
in
lobbying
activities.
Finally,
the
measure
specifies
the
registration
requirements
that
are
applicable
during
this.
I
Think,
madam
president,
I
was
curious
if
he
I
heard
the
question
asking
committee,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
perplexed
because
the
bill
says
you
know
how
many
people
do.
You
have
to
contact
to
be
considered
a
lobbyist,
and
I
remember
the
question
being
asked
in
the
committee
and
unfortunately,
the
speaker
was
not
able
to
answer
it.
You
know
if
you
decide
to
you
know,
talk
to
the
whole
committee.
Does
that
make
you
a
lobbyist
or
is
it
if
you
talk
to
the
whole
floor
of
the
legislative
body?
I
I
I
have
no
problem
charging
people
that
are
coming
in
this
building,
but
the
fact
that
they're
just
being
relegated
to
calling
in
on
a
phone
most
of
them
and
we're
going
to
charge
them
I'd
have
no
problem
like
I
said
if
we
opened
it
up,
but
I'm
perplexed
about
that.
But
if
we
could
ask
the
question
how
many
people
does
it
constitute
to
be
considered
a
lobbyist,
that
you
need
to
contact,
how
many
legislators.
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
this
bill
assembly
bill
110
was
amended
in
the
assembly
to
include
what
was
referred
to
in
committee
as
a
grassroots
advocate
exception,
and
that
is
found
on
page
three
of
the
amended
bill.
The
persons
who
can
find
their
lobbying
activities
to
communicating
directly
with
one
or
more
members
of
the
legislative
branch
only
on
an
infrequent
or
irregular
basis
who
do
not
otherwise
engage
in
any
lobbying
activities.
G
Gives
the
duties
of
administration
interpretation
of
chapter
218h
to
the
director
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
and
that's
the
way
it's
been
done
in
the
past?
That's
the
way
it
would
continue
under
this
bill.
This
bill
did
pass
unanimously
in
the
legislative
operations
and
elections
committee.
I
do
believe
that
it
is
needed
for
us
to
get
a
handle
on
who's
lobbying
this
session,
and
I
do
urge
its
passage.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
only
question
I've
got
on
it.
Obviously
this
is
because
of
covid
and
the
current
club,
the
fact
that
we've
closed
the
building
that
there's
no
sunset
in
the
bill.
I
mean
what
I
would
like
to
see.
I
mean
I'm
gonna.
I
don't
think
the
bill
is
a
a
big
issue,
one
way
or
the
other
frankly,
but
the
fact
that
we're
deleting
appears
in
person
and
legislative
building
as
the
definition
of
a
lobbyist,
you
know
dwight.
It
is
the
lobby
of
the
legislature
that
gives
it
its
name.
J
So
I
was
kind
of
hoping
there'd
be
a
sunset
and
the
fact
that
this
would
go
back
to
the
original
law
that
we
have
right
now
on
the
books
once
we
lift
the
restrictions
on
allowing
people
into
the
building,
but
I
don't
see
any
sunset
in
it,
so
that
would
be
one
of
one
of
my
issues
and,
frankly,
I
think
that
you
know
we
want
I've
been
frank,
desperate
to
get
people
to
talk
to,
rather
than
through
the
unfortunate
communication
methods
that
are
so
inferior
to
a
face-to-face
type
of
of
arrangement.
J
So
I'm
gonna
actually
vote
no
on
this
bill
simply
because
the
absence
of
a
sunset
and
because
I
think
a
lobbyist
actually
should
be
allowed
into
the
building,
that's
actually
the
real
definition
of
a
lobbyist.
So
thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
G
Briefly,
respond
to
president
no
there's
no
sunset
in
the
bill,
and
certainly
I
think,
as
we've
all
seen,
there
are
many
different
ways
to
lobby
now,
even
if
someone
doesn't
physically
enter
the
building.
This
bill
does
add
that
grassroots
advocacy
exception,
which
had
not
been
in
nrs218h
before
so
I
think
that
it
actually
addresses
the
concern
of
trying
to
protect
grassroots
activists
who
infrequently
contact
their
legislators
and
are
not
demonstrating
a
pattern
of
lobbying,
and
I
do
again
urgent
support.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
actually
support
the
idea
of
expanding
our
definition
to
lobbyists
that
don't
necessarily
enter
the
building,
particularly
given
that
I
suspect
a
lot
of
the
lobbying.
That's
going
to
happen
now
that
we've
experienced
virtual
meetings
is
going
to
continue
in
the
virtual
space.
K
My
concern
actually
deals
with
the
the
grassroots
exception
that
we've
inserted,
as
you
know,
as
I've
read
that
I
can
see
more
than
one
way
to
interpret
that
and
it
leaves
in
the
hands
of
one
person,
presumably
the
ability
to
pick
and
choose
who
and
no
I'm
not
trying
to
cast
aspersions
on
any
current
director
or
staff
member.
But
the
internal
inconsistency
of
the
language
of
subsection
h
gives
me
some
concern.
K
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
simple
question:
do
they
get
a
blue
badge.
D
G
Thank
you,
president
to
my
colleague
from
boulder
city.
Yes,
nrs,
218h
point
300
is
not
changed
by
assembly
bill
110
and
2
and
3u
president
to
my
colleague
from
henderson,
while
nrs
218h
0.505
does
allow
the
director
of
legislative
council
bureau
to
administer
the
lobbying
statute
and
to
make
interpretations.
G
Nrs,
218
8.530,
also
not
changed
by
ab110,
allows
anyone
who
feels
that
they
have
been
incorrectly
labeled
a
lobbyist
when
they're
a
grassroots
advocate
to
appeal
the
decision
of
the
director
to
the
full
legislative
commission.
So
there
is
an
appeal
route.
If,
let's
say
someone
feels
that
the
director
has
made
an
error
that
doesn't
change
in
assembly
bill
110.
A
Thank
you
senator
orange.
I
believe
senator
pickard
wants
to
follow
up
query.
K
Yes,
I
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague
from
senator
21
and
I'm
aware
of
the
appeal
process.
I
just
because
that's
the
legislative
commission,
it
generally
doesn't
meet
frequently
during
the
session.
I
think
we
end
up
putting
off
that
appellate
process
for
some
time
during
the
session
and
could
conceivably
cause
someone
to
miss
out
on
their
right
to
appeal
to
their
legislators
without
the
payment
particularly
problematic,
if
they
can't
afford
to
pay
that.
So
I
agree
I
like
where
this
is
going.
I
agree
with
the
intent.
K
E
Thank
you
president.
I
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
ab110
and
I
have
a
a
pretty
strong
difference
of
opinion
with
many
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
today.
So
I'd
like
to
try
to
lay
that
out.
First
of
all,
I
have
I'm.
I,
like
many
of
my
colleagues,
have
multiple
ways
out
in
the
universe
that
you
can
get
in
touch
with
me.
My
cell
phone
is
out
there.
My
email
telephone
is
out
there.
E
Regardless
of
whether
that's
an
in-person
conversation,
I
would
say,
as
a
percentage,
a
significant
significantly
higher
amount
of
my
conversations
with
folks
who
are
lobbying
for
who
are
paid
by
somebody
to
lobby
for
issues
in
this
building
happen
in
a
virtual
format
of
some
kind
and
not
in
a
face-to-face
or
in
this
building.
So
that's
the
first
thing,
so
I
I
absolutely
do
not
believe
it
should
have
a
sunset
because
moving
forward,
particularly
with
the
strong
adoption
of
all
of
us
getting
used
to
talking
to
each
other
through
screens
and
different
mechanisms.
E
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
be
outside
the
building
when
they're
talking
to
us
second
much
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
before
the
need
for
this
legislation,
I
was
regularly
contacted
by
citizen
lobbyists
who
were
unclear
about
whether
or
not
they
had
to
register
to
lobby,
and
I
think
this
bill
goes
a
long
ways
to
clarifying
it.
Is
there
a
perfect
definition
of
when
you've
crossed
that
line
from
being
an
occasional
advocate
for
an
issue
in
your
neighborhood
to
regularly
contacting
the
legislature?
E
I
don't
know
that
it's
possible
to
write
that
perfectly,
but
this
has
significantly
more
clarity
than
we
had
before
and
has
an
appeal
process
which
we
did
not
have
before.
So
again.
I
think
for
those
folks
who
are
in
good
spirit,
you
know
in
the
best
of
intentions,
trying
to
figure
out
where
they
land,
our
staff,
has
always
done
a
lovely
job
of
reaching
out
to
folks
and
saying:
hey,
we've
seen
you
quite
a
bit,
you
should
probably
be
registered
now
you're
crossing
that
line,
we
haven't
been
punitive.
We
haven't
been
any
of
those
things.
E
We
want
people
to
engage
in
this
process,
and
so
I
think,
it's
critically
important
and
again
that
we
are
striking
a
blow
for
transparency
here
to
make
sure
that
we
know,
and
the
public
knows
who
is
contacting
us
in
order
to,
in
many
cases,
who's
paid
to
contact
us
to
in
order
to
advocate
for
an
issue.
So
I
strongly
support
this
bill
and
I
thank
the
folks
who
put
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
into
figuring
out
how
to
do
this
right.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
For
a
second
time
I
look
forward
to
the
day
where
I
can
see
the
blue
badge
and
the
lobby,
and
I'm
I
was
told
by
a
formerly
known,
as
quote
lobbyist,
that
no
one
now
is
allowed
to
buy
me
lunch.
Otherwise
they
would
be
a
lobbyist
or
the
proverbial
cup
of
coffee
that
I
don't
drink.
L
M
And
thank
you,
madam
president,
just
to
the
sponsor
again
the
bill
talking
about
the
blue
badge
and
obviously,
when
we're
here
in
the
building,
a
badge
must
be
worn
as
to
demonstrate
who
is
lobbying
if
we
are
to
meet
somebody
outside,
maybe
in
the
interim,
even
during
this
session,
but
we
meet
them
somewhere
else.
Is
that
requirement
going
to
be
placed
upon
them?
Will
they
need
to
wear
the
badge,
so
we
know
who
they
are
or
other
people
can
recognize
them,
or
is
it
only
again
strictly
in
the
building.
G
Thank
you,
president,
to
you
and
through
you
to
my
colleague
from
senate
district
18.
assembly.
Bill
110
does
not
change
the
language
at
218
8.300
regarding
identification,
badges.
G
The
only
addition
is
that
it
does
add
the
language
during
a
regular
or
special
session.
The
current
language
in
218
8.300
is
that
a
someone
who's
deemed
a
lobbyist
by
the
director
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
must
wear
the
identification
badge
whenever
they
appear
in
the
legislative
building.
This
does
add
the
language
during
a
regular
or
special
session,
which
was
not
in
the
existing
nrs.
A
Thank
you,
senator
orange.
Does
that
answer
your
question
senator
and
thank
you
senator
hansen,
I'm
sorry,
yeah
senator
hansen.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
the
second
fight
at
the
apple
here.
The
the
issue
that
comes
up
to
me
is,
while
I
respect
my
colleagues
comments
from
district
13
about
open
and
transparency
involving
our
texts
and
emails
and
all
the
social
media
ways
that
they
can
people
get
a
hold
of
us,
I'm
very
uncomfortable
with
the
fact
that
to
be
a
professional
lobbyist,
they
have
to
pay
a
300
fee
now,
even
though
they're
not
coming
in
the
building
to
simply
send
me
an
email
and
not
violate
this
new
law
or
a
text.
J
So
we
got
to
keep
in
mind
that
there
is
a
substantial
requirement
that
they
have
to
pay
to
be
a
professional
lobbyist,
which
traditionally
was
limited
to
those
that
came
in
the
building
and
got
the
cards
that
we've
been
discussing.
J
Now
we're
going
to
expand
that
to
anyone
literally,
that
even
sends
me
any
kind
of
communication,
even
though
they're
not
even
allowed
to
come
in
the
building.
So
that's
where
you
know
that
300
sort
of
changes,
just
it's
more
than
just
transparency.
It's
now
a
substantial
financial
burden
to
basically
send
an
email
to
a
legislator.
So
I
I'm
still
a
strong
no,
but
I
am
definitely
in
favor
of
transparency.
J
I
think
that
we
either
need
to
put
a
sunset
in
this.
So
as
soon
as
we
open
this
building
up,
it
goes
back
to
really
only
going
after
people
that
come
into
the
building
and
to
force
everyone
out
there
to
pay
a
300
fine
to
send
me
a
tax,
just
just
seems
unreasonable
to
me.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
F
Madam
president,
I'll
be
supporting
assembly
bill
110..
When
I
looked
at
this
legislation,
I
thought
about
the
process
and
and
how
we
register
lobbyists
and
right
now,
it's
contingent
on
being
in
a
building,
it's
periodic,
and
we
have
not
really
considered
technology
that
we
use
and
we've
been
using
for
for
quite
a
long
time-
and
I
I
know
when
I've
been
looking
at
some
of
my
bills
and
hearings
coming
up.
F
I
have
questioned
like
who
who's?
Who
is
the?
Where
is
it
represented
an
interest
group?
But
I
don't
have
that
information
right
now,
because
we
don't
have
anybody
registered
again
because
it's
been
contingent
upon
being
in
a
building,
whereas
right
now
and
probably
moving
forward
and
actually
in
recent
history,
we've
had
technology
which
allows
people
to
communicate
about
on
legislation
and
the
process
and
with
each
of
us
that
have
not
been
registered.
So
I
I
think
that
this
bill
may
not
be
perfect,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
the
transparency.
F
I
do
think
that
we
also
need
to
consider
probably
registration
that
is
annual
or
a
certain
time
frame
instead
of
periodic,
because
everything
we
have
right
now
is
periodic,
so
someone
would
have
to
register
for
this
session.
Then
they'd
have
to
register
for
special
sessions
and-
and
I
guess
they'd
pay
a
fee
again
if
they
had
to
re-register
for
a
special
session.
F
Maybe
that's
a
question
if
you,
if
you
register
once
for
a
regular
session
and
there's
a
special
session
in
the
same
year,
do
you
have
to
pay
again
because
it's
a
different
session
so
again
the
bill's
not
perfect,
but
I
do
really
think
transparency
is
critically
important
and
that
while
there
is
a
fee
associated
with
that,
we
do
need
to
keep
those
records
and
make
that
information
available
to
us
and
to
the
public.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
legislation.
Thank.
A
A
A
Anybody
all
right,
senator
cannizzaro.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
did
want
to
take
one
brief
moment
to
know
that
to
note
that
I
think
several
of
us
are
wearing
some
of
these
lovely
badges
for
disability
awareness
day
and
they're
from
constituents
in
our
districts.
C
So
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment,
because
I
noticed
that
many
of
us
are
wearing
these
badges
and
and
certainly
doing
so
proudly
today
in
honor
of
disability
awareness
day
with
that.
Madam
president,.
C
H
I'm
wonderful,
thank
you,
my
lieutenant
governor
and,
I
think,
you're
recognizing
me
to
speak
now.
H
Nevada
is
very
lucky
and
we
are
I'm
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
that
community.
That
puts
nevada
in
the
forefront
of
fighting
for
equality.
We
are
the
first
state
in
the
nation
to
recognize
marriage
equality,
regardless
of
gender
in
our
constitution
last
year,
and
this
makes
nevada
one
of
the
best
places
to
live
if
you're
a
member
of
the
lgbtq
community,
and
that
is
thanks
to
legislators
in
this
house
and
across
the
hallway
in
the
assembly
who
have
consistently
stood
up
for
equality
in
all
of
its
forms.
H
And
so
I
encourage
you
to
all
meet
with
the
members
of
silver
state
equality
and
the
other
organizations
who
have
come
together
for
a
quality
day
and
to
keep
that
in
mind,
as
we
continue
forward
with
business
of
the
nevada
state
senate,
and
thank
you
all
for
for
the
hard
work
that
you've
already
done,
and
thank
you
to
the
advocates
who
have
taken
the
time
out
of
their
days
and
out
of
their
schedule
to
meet
with
all
of
us
and
to
share
their
thoughts
and
their
experiences
with
us.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
senator
scheible,
further
remarks.
Okay,
senator
canazzaro.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
We
have.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
small
comment.
If,
if
you
are
interested,
if
you
have
a
button,
the
capital,
the
legislative
police
at
the
back
entrance,
does
special
olympics
and
he
can
tell
you
if
the
person
on
your
button
has
participated
in
the
special
olympics
if
you're
interested
in
knowing.
