Don

here,
thank
you
very
much
and
all

B
It's
been
no
more
than
one
year
since
the
covet
19
pandemic
ushered
in
the
largest
and
lengthiest
emergency
response
in
our
state's
156th
year.
History,
partly
lockstep
throughout
the
entirety
of
this
emergency
response,
has
been
the
outstanding
professional
cooperation
between
the
men
and
women
of
the
nevada,
national
guard
and
the
nevada
division
of
emergency
management,
as
the
virus
began
to
spread
rapidly
in
march
of
2020,
governor
systolak
directed
and
entrusted
these
two
agencies
in
leading
an
elevated
and
unprecedented
role
in
the
state's
emergency
response.
Without
haste.
B
These
amazing
men
and
women
have
coordinated
a
variety
of
missions
to
include
the
tremendous
logistical
movement
and
storage
of
personal
protective
equipment,
the
distribution
of
food
items
to
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
the
construction
and
employment
of
mass
community
community-based
testing
sites
and
the
facilitation
of
multiple
vaccine
distribution
sites
across
nevada.
To
provide
an
overview
of
this
proud
service
to
you,
here's
the
state's
covert
19
response
by
the
numbers,
4
900
resource
requests
fulfilled
to
local
county
and
non-government
partner
organizations.
B
10
million
articles
of
personal
protective
equipment
distributed
to
front
line
responders
2.9
million
meals
distributed
to
residents
across
the
state.
860
000
cover
19
tests
conducted
400,
000
covert,
19
tests
distributed
to
nevada
school
districts
for
safe
reopening
1.75
million
vaccines,
supported
at
multiple
sites
throughout
the
state.
5
500
vaccines
delivered
by
two
mobile
vaccine
units
to
tribal
and
rural
nevada
residents
and
721
000
vaccines
directly
administered
in
the
arms
of
nevada
residents.
B
This
historical
relationship
between
the
nevada,
national
guard,
nevada,
division
of
emergency
management
has
been
tried
and
tested
long
before
the
arrival
of
this
deadly
virus
operating
day-to-day
in
shared
workspaces
at
the
state
emergency
operations
center
in
carson
city,
these
outstanding
teams
have
historically
time
and
again
ensure
the
proper
funding
planning,
execution,
recovery
and
assessment
of
multiple
challenging
emergencies.
These
challenging
emergencies
include
annual
wildfires
search
and
rescue
floods,
civil
disturbance,
hazardous
material
response
and
large-scale
events
such
as
new
year's
eve
in
las
vegas
bottom
line.
B
B
These
emergency
response
professionals
from
our
very
own
communities
will
continue
to
lead
nevada
through
our
recovery.
Behind
your
state
emergency
response
team
is
always
ready,
always
there
neighbors
helping
neighbors.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
the
members
of
this
committee.
For
your
time
today,
the
state
representatives
and
I
are
ready
to
answer
questions
and
are
happy
to
walk
through
the
mechanics
involved.
With
any
section
of
this
bill.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much,
then.
Does
that
conclude
your
presentation,
or
do
you
have
anything
else?
You
would
like
to
add
before
we
go
to
questions
from
the
committee.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
had
a
question
on
section:
seven,
which
gives
the
office
the
the
duties,
I
guess
and
powers
of
a
peace
officer
to
the
chief
of
the
division
of
emergency
management
of
the
office
of
the
military.
E
The
chief's
position
currently
is
listed
as
a
peace
officer
under
the
dps
statutes,
and
so
we
decided
to
move
that
rather
than
leave
that
out
the
one
advantage
it
does
provide
for
that
position.
It's
it's
not
that
they're
a
post-certified
gun-toting
individual,
but
they
retain
the
peace
officer
status.
So
we
can
share
law
enforcement,
sensitive
information
with
them
and
where
that
comes
important,
I
came
into
the
position.
E
In
late
october,
I
came
with
a
security
clearance,
and
so
I
was
able
to
immediately
receive
a
secret
brief
on
anything
any
worries,
elections
and
everything
that
was
going
on
at
that
time
relating
to
pandemic
had
somebody
without
a
security
clearance
come
in,
they
would
not
have
been
able
to
receive
any
of
that
information.
So
we
left
this
in
here.
So
we
at
least
in
future
positions
when
that
person
comes
in
they
could
have
that
law
enforcement,
sensitive
information
and
be
privy
to
that.
F
E
289.
to
the
senator,
through
the
chair,
david
philberson,
nevada,
emergency
manager
and
homeland
security
chief,
it's
the
same
powers
that
the
position
holds
right
now
when
we
sit
underneath
the
dps
position,
so
no
one's
ever
utilizing
those
p
saucer
powers
as
the
chief
of
dm
that
I've
ever
been
aware
of
knowing
the
last
few
of
them.
However,
we
just
left
that
in
the
bill
from
what
the
existing
powers
from
the
chief's
position
was,
so
I
don't
think
there's
any
intent
to
expand
it
or
do
any
of
those
things.
B
And
through
the
senator
I
mean
through
the
chair
to
senator
danielle
major
berry,
this
is
also
pretty
customary
to
what
we
see
to
the
agencies
that
we
have
researched
around
the
country
where
a
dem
comes
under
the
office
of
the
military.
So
it's
pretty
customary
practice
in
terms
of
some
of
the
language
and
responsibilities.
F
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
So,
madam
chair,
can
I
ask
this
on
another
section?
Absolutely
so
in
section
18,
this
is
the
portion
of
the
bill
where
it's
talking
about
the
board
of
trustees,
and
this
is
consulting
with
the
charter
schools
for
design
construction
and
then
it
also
has
an
insertion
for
the
school
police
officers
and
then,
at
the
end
it
puts
in
the
office
of
the
military
can.
Can
you
explain,
I
guess
when
I
you
know
certain
sections
of
the
bill.
F
E
You
would
be
amazed
at
how
many
places
in
nrs
the
division,
emergency
management
is
embedded
looking
at
the
how
the
whole
community
approach
to
bringing
people
together-
and
this
is
in
again
existing
language
from
where
dm
has
the
authority
to
be
in
there
and
so
we're
just
moving
to
the
office
of
military.
What
this
is
designed
for
is
we're
part
of
the
school
safety
task
forces.
We
house
the
school
plans
in
the
event
of
a
an
emergency
satway.
We
are
the
secure
repository
for
them.
We
work
the
nevada
system,
higher
education.
F
Thank
you
for
that,
and
so,
and
and
thank
you
for
that
background,
because
because
I
was
wondering
about
that
and
wondering
you
know
what
would
your
role
be
around
suicide,
which
is
in
section
20
where
you're
then
inserted
and
then
you
just
said:
behavioral
health
special
specialty,
but
I
I've
just
never
seen
that
role
attributed,
because
this
is
the
development
committee
around
suicide
and
crisis
emergency.
E
To
the
senator,
through
the
chair,
david
foberson,
emergency
manager
and
homeland
security
chief,
absolutely-
and
I
believe,
there's
a
bill
this
session
to
change
the
name
of
that
from
the
development
committee,
because
originally
that,
if
I
recall
correctly
and
I'm
going
back
a
few
years,
the
nrs
was
about
school
safety
plans
related
to
suicide,
and
then
I
believe
it
was
last
session.
They
expanded
that.
So
it
wasn't
just
about
child
suicide.
E
It
was
about
truly
school
safety,
and
I'm
gonna
have
to
admit
that
I
might
not
know
all
the
background
there,
but
from
being
a
local
government.
I
remember
the
the
expansions
there,
but
emergency
management,
the
cool
thing
about
emergency
management
is
we
have?
No,
we
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
authority,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
friends
and
what
we
can
do
is
help
write
a
plan.
So
the
plan
is
not
law
enforcement
focused
fire,
focused,
behavioral
health
focused.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and-
and
I
have
a
before
I
go
to
the
vice
chair.
I
have
a
question
on
this
same
section
where
it
says
in
section
18.
If
the
county
has
not
designated
a
full-time
employee
to
serve
as
emergency
manager
and
does
not
have
school
police
officers
division
of
emergency
management,
do
you
go
through
all
those
that
list
before
you
actually
get
to
the
office
of
military
or,
as
you
were
just
suggesting?
Are
they
partners
and
you
all
get
together
at
once.
E
Madam
chair
dave,
ferguson,
nevada,
emergency
manager,
homeland
security
chief-
it
greatly
depends
upon
what
the
interaction
that
the
community
wants
sometimes
we're
at
the
table.
I
do
have
an
employee,
that's
on
the
school
safety
task
force
for
the
state
and
works
very
heavily
with
the
school
superintendent's
office.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
drawing
a
blank
on
the
name
of
that
of
her
office
there
and
works
with
the
school
communities.
We
do
an
annual
safety
conference
with
them,
so
sometimes
they
reach
out
directly
to
us
for
advice
and
then
other
times.
C
Thank
you
chair,
and
I
appreciate
everything
you've
done
for
our
constituents
during
the
pandemic.
Thank
you,
general
barry.
Thank
you
chief,
my
question.
The
relationship
with
fema,
the
federal
emergency
management
association.
Has
it
been
collaborative
when
things
have
arisen
where
we've
needed
their
help
and
where
do
you
see
it
going?
Thank
you.
E
To
the
senator,
through
the
chair,
david
fogerson,
nevada,
mercy
manager,
homeland
security,
chief,
great
question
about
fema,
they
are
wonderful
partners
for
us.
Fema
really
strives
to
do
the
it's
federally
supported,
state-led
locally
executed,
so
every
disaster
is
local,
just
like
all
politics
are
local
and
they
do
a
nice
job
of
that.
To
the
point
that
we
have,
I
believe
this
morning
we
have
175
female
employees
still
in
the
state
helping
us
with
the
covet
pandemic.
E
Before
the
pandemic
started,
fema
actually
deployed
a
they
called
a
fit.
It's
a
fema
incident
team
member.
I
believe,
and
has
been
here
to
help
guide
prior
to
me
becoming
the
chief
of
prior
chief
through
the
process
of
how
the
federal
and
state
interacts
our
state
emergency
operations
center.
Right
now
has
got
seven
female
employees
in
it
and
we
call
them
femites
and
they
are
right
there
with
us
all
the
time
and
they're
good
friends
and
they
take
good
care
of
us.
We
take
good
care
of
them.
A
E
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
see
the
director
on
the
big
screen
up
there.
We
want
to
make
sure
he
gets
his
time
in
the
process
here
got
all
dressed
up.
So
we'll
ask
you
director,
tagliati,
if
you'd
like
to
weigh
in
please
go
ahead.
G
I
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
relationship
we've
had
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
particularly
with
covet
with
the
national
guard
and
obviously
they've
done
just
a
terrific
job,
and
I
think
that
also
made
us
aware
that,
with
all
of
the
dangers
we
may
have
on
the
medical
front
and
also
the
natural
disasters
that
are
always,
we
may
be
facing
whether
it's
wildfires
or
floods,
that
the
emergency
management
team
would
be
better
served
under
the
office
of
the
military
and
they're
even
located
there
they're
right
on
the
same
location,
same
campus,
if
you
will
with
the
national
guard.
G
So
I
think
this
is
a
win-win
for
us
and
that
working
relationship
is
going
to
really
help
us
as
well,
because
one
of
the
points
that
I
like
to
mention
is
the
fact
that
there's
a
homeland
security
piece
to
this
and
the
emergency
management
division
is
involved
not
only
with
fema
and
the
federal
or
government.
Also
they
have
a
lot
of
the
funding
goes
through
them.
They're
also
set
up
all
of
our
homeland
security
commission,
the
governor
chairs
that
commission,
as
far
as
what
resources
may
be
available
by
the
feds,
etc,
etc.
G
The
governor
also
names
the
homeland
security
advisor,
so
it
is
really
still
going
to
be
a
close
relationship
with
the
department
of
public
safety,
but
god
forbid,
we
have
a
situation
where
there's
a
disaster
that
would
involve
something
of
a
criminal
nature
which
was
our
worries
years
ago
and
not
too
far
away,
but
we,
we
still
will
have
that
relationship
that
we
can
fall
back
with
the
not
only
with
the
national
guard,
but
with
the
division
of
emergency
management,
because
we
are
what
makes
such
a
good
team,
so
I'm
very
comfortable
with
this
transition.
G
A
F
So
this
is
the
provision
where
it
says
the
money
collected
or
received
and
then
you're
struck
out,
and
I
know
it
says
deposit
it
with
the
state
treasurer
for
the
credit
and
appropriation.
So
so,
how
does
this
payment
structure
work
now
that
you've
been
merged
under?
Is
the
office
of
the
military
going
to
be
paid?
What
would
be
normally
distributed
to
you
and
how
does
that
work.
E
To
the
senator,
through
the
chair,
david
flores,
nevada,
homeland
security,
oh
sorry,
emergency
manager,
homeland
security,
chief,
it's
a
mouthful
of
a
thing
to
say
sorry.
This
was
the
and
I
earlier
I
did
say
that
we
didn't
strike
anything,
and
I
got
to
tell
you
that
that
we
did
strike
one
thing,
because
this
is
the
one
part.
E
When
we
looked
with
it
with
the
legal
counsel,
no
one
could
figure
out
what
this
meant,
because
we
all
knew
that
the
money
house
goes
to
treasury,
the
money's,
the
state
money,
so
our
attorney
general,
the
deputy
attorney
general,
said
I
don't
know
if
this
makes
sense
having
this
in
here
anymore.
So
if
we
cross
that
out,
it's
still
going
to
go
to
the
state
and
be
fine
there.
So
that
was
our
justification
behind
crossout.
Is
that
the
legal
council
couldn't
figure
out
what
that
sentence
really
intended
to
do.
A
All
right,
we
will
go
to
public
testimony,
support
opposition
and
neutral.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
step
back,
then
we'll
call
you
up
for
closing
remarks
in
a
few
minutes,
all
right,
we'll
start
with
support
in
the
room.
Do
we
have
anybody
in
the
room
who
would
like
to
testify
in
support
of
senate
bill
485,
if
not
we'll
go
to
the
zoom
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
phone
lines?
Broadcasting.
H
H
A
A
B
Madam
chair
general
barry
who
never
asked
me
that
question.
B
Okay,
well,
I
feel
good.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
are
hearing
us
today
and
I
strongly
believe
that
we
have
a
best
practice
in
place.
I
go
off
of
what
director
tagliati
said.
This
will
be
a
win-win.
This
coming
comes
under
the
direction
of
governor
sisalak.
We've
had
a
very
outstanding
working
relationship,
department
of
emergency
management
and
its
leadership,
and
I
believe
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
we
were
able
to
be
as
successful
during
this
pandemic
is
because
of
the
partnership
and
the
collaboration
and
willingness
to
work
together.
B
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
vice
chair.
Second,
second,
from
senator
neil
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed
motion
passes
and
I
will
I'll
take
the
floor
statement
on
that,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
with
us
today
and
that's
how
we
roll
in
government
affairs.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Those
of
you
that
are
on
the
screen
and
thank
you,
director,
tagliati
for
joining
us
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
bill.
You're
welcome
to
stay
it's
quite
fun
in
here.
Thank
you
very
much
all
righty,
then
we'll
go
to
assembly
bill
220
because
we
have
speaker
present.
A
I
Ready
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
For
the
record.
My
name
is
jason
fryerson,
it's
the
name
of
district
8,
speaker,
the
nevada
state
assembly,
and
I
am
here
to
present
assembly
bill
220,
which
simply
prohibits
peace
officers
from
using
mobile
applications
that
encrypt
communications
on
official
and
publicly
issued
cell
phones.
I
walk
through
the
short
provisions
of
the
bill,
but
I
want
to
express
why
I
brought
this
bill
forward
first
off.
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
this
bill
is
only
applicable
to
work
phones.
I
Discovery,
of
course,
is
the
formal
process
of
exchanging
information
between
parties
concerning
witness
and
evidence
that
they
would
present
in
court.
Discovery
methods
include
depositions,
written
negotiations,
written
interrogatories,
subpoenas
of
books,
records
and
other
documents
for
inspection,
physical
exams,
submittal
documents
for
examination
to
determine
whether
or
not
they
are
genuine,
typically
email
messages,
text
messages
and
other
forms
of
electronic
communications
are
discoverable
as
long
as
they
are
not
covered
by
attorney-client
privilege
or
covered
by
the
work
product
exception
or
exemption,
such
as
internal
reports
and
documents
of
the
prosecution
or
the
defense.
I
A
peace
officer
could
be
involved
in
discovery
in
several
ways
as
a
witness
to
a
crime
as
a
criminal
defendant
as
a
party
or
witness
in
a
civil
case.
In
all
of
these
situations,
statements,
papers,
documents
and
tangible
objects
in
their
possession,
including
emails
and
texts,
would
likely
be
subject
to
discovery.
I
As
technology
advances,
it's
imperative
that
all
of
us
update
our
standards
to
ensure
that
we
don't
lose
sight
of
transparency
and,
frankly,
fairness
to
the
process.
I'll
now
go
through
the
sections
of
the
bill
section.
One
subsection
one
requires
law
enforcement
agencies
to
develop
a
written
policy
that
sets
for
standards
of
conduct
for
using
publicly
issued
and
official
mobile
devices.
I
I
In
conclusion,
I
think
this
bill
serves
as
a
reasonable
measure
to
protect
public
trust
in
our
law
enforcement
agencies
and
ensure
technology
does
not
prohibit
transparency
and
accountability.
I
also
want
to
thank
members
of
the
law
enforcement
community
that
worked
with
me
to
get
to
this
point.
We've
been
talking
since
last
year
about
the
fact
that
we
have
to
come
together.
I
We
have
to
advance
policies
that
allow
law
enforcement
to
do
their
jobs
effectively,
but
we
don't
get
the
kind
of
result
unless
we
work
together,
and
so
this
is
the
result
of
having
worked
with
law
enforcement
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
do
their
job
that
we're
not
getting
in
the
way
of
certain
encrypted
technology
that
they
use
in
order
to
do
their
job,
but
simply
providing
that
they
are
not
allowed
to
use
this
type
of
technology
with
the
intent
to
hide
hide
informational
evidence.
And
so
with
that.
I
would
welcome
any
questions.
A
F
Thanks,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
had
one
quick
question,
so
when
I
read
it,
I
the
first
thing
I
thought
about
was
it
was
something
that
was
brought
to
me
about.
I
think
it
was
a
police
officer
incident
where
they
were
able
to
use
their
phone
and
they
played
music
and
they
blocked.
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
it
was
words
that
were
being
said
and
whether
or
not
there
was
going
to
be
an
application
of
this
to
that.
I
Jason
fryzen
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question
senator.
I
don't
believe
that
this
addresses
that
I
think
that
that
would
be
an
evidentiary
matter
and,
for
example,
a
criminal
case
about
spoiling
evidence.
Essentially
I
I
think
that
that
would
be
addressed
in
that
regard,
but
but
this
is
intended
to
address
new
applications.
I
I
mean
signal
is
the
application
that
I
think
started
and
gave
rise
to
it,
where
you
can
set
it
up
for
it
to
disappear
in
30
seconds
and
once
it
disappears,
it's
gone
and
and
quite
frankly,
if
it's
not
approved
to
be
on
a
work
cell
phone
anyway,
then
they
shouldn't
be
putting
an
application
on
a
work
cell
phone.
I
What
they
do
on
their
private
cell
phone
is
is,
of
course,
their
business,
but
if
it's
a
work
cell
phone
and
they
have
policies
that
allow
for
only
work,
approved
applications
to
be
on
on
that
device,
we
had
originally
prohibited
putting
in
end-to-end
encryption,
allowing
it
to
be
used
at
all.
And
then
we
found
out
that
law
enforcement
actually
uses
it
for
valid
purposes.
And
so,
if
they
use
it
for
valid
purposes,
then
they
have
policies
that
dictate
how
they
can
use
it.
I
I
Actually,
if
I
can
grab
a
minute,
I
didn't
bring
the
bill
the
actual
bill
itself
with
me.
So
if
I
can
grab
one
real.
I
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair.
I
would
actually
defer.
I
don't
believe
that
the
consequence
within
chapter
289
is
set
forth
in
the
language
of
the
bill,
but
it
it
the
consequence,
would
be
the
same
consequence
of
any
conduct
that
would
violate
chapter
289.
I
It
would
certainly
be
a
a
civil
consequence
and,
to
the
extent
that
there
is
criminal
penalties.
I
don't
know
that
there
are
for
violation
of
chapter
289.
I
Thank
you
again,
thank
you
for
the
record
jason
fryerson
senator
hansen.
I
would
let
law
enforcement
answer
that
question.
They
have
been
at
the
table
in
the
development
of
this,
but
they
already
have
policies
in
place
and,
of
course,
no
law
enforcement
agency
would
encourage
using
it
to
hide
evidence.
That's
and-
and
this
bill
is
not
intended
to
suggest
that
they
are.
I
However,
this
is
new
technology
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
that
folks
are
getting
more
comfortable
with
this
type
of
technology,
which
is
fine
for
personal
use,
but
shouldn't
be
used
to
hide
evidence
in
a
law
enforcement
context.
So,
in
my
discussions
with
the
law
enforcement
community,
there
was
no
opposition
to
the
policy
being
required
to
be
developed
and
that
officers
not
be
allowed
to
violate
that
policy.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
additional
questions
and
we
have
people
coming
and
going
for
bills.
So
if
you
see
somebody
leave,
that's
why
speaker?
I
I
have
a
question.
So
does
do
each
law
enforcement
officer
no
matter
what
law
enforcement
group
that
you
know
highway
patrol
sheriff,
metro,
it
doesn't
matter
who
they're
with
do.
Does
that?
I
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
jason
ryerson.
I
would
defer
to
law
enforcement.
I
think
different
agencies
operate
differently.
I
don't
believe
that
all
law
enforcement
agencies
even
have
cell
phones
new
enough
to
have
this
kind
of
technology,
which
initially
generated
a
fiscal
note
on
the
part
of
some,
and
then
they
realized
that
I
wasn't
intending
on
requiring
that
they
buy
new
equipment,
but
for
whatever
their
standard
protocols
are,
this
would
apply.
So
I
would
let
otherwise
let
the
law
enforcement
community
answer
questions
about
about
their
policies.
I
A
Thank
you
very
much
all
right,
additional
questions,
senator
gokachia,
nothing
down
there
all
right,
then
speaker
we'll
hear
from
our
experts
in
the
audience.
Do
you
do
you?
Have
them
coming
up
to
give
testimony
or
just
support?
Okay,
perfect,
all
righty,
all
right,
then
we
will
go
to
support
opposition
and
neutral
and
we'll
start
with
mr
calloway.
How
are
you
good
to
see
you,
sir.
J
J
The
concern
for,
and
also
to
not
have
a
negative
impact
on
certain
police
operations
which
might
require
end-to-end,
encryption
and
I'll
be
the
first
to
say
that
I'm
certainly
not
an
expert
when
it
comes
to
you
know,
technology
and
indian
encryption,
but
from
what
rit
people
tell
me
is
that
indian
encryption
protects
a
message
from
point
a
to
point
b
from
hackers
from
people
that
shouldn't
be
able
to
see
it.
J
So
in
cases
where
you
have
sensitive
law
enforcement
information,
which
was
referenced
in
the
last
hearing,
you
just
heard-
and
maybe
homeland
security,
information
or
or
information
on
a
current
crime
activity
that's
occurring
and
that
information
is
being
relayed
from
one
officer
to
another
through
some
type
of
a
mobile
device.
It's
important
to
be
able
to
to
have
encryption.
So
there
is
a
legitimate
use
for
it.
J
We
certainly
do
not
support
officers
using
encryption
to
try
to
bypass
the
public
records
law
or
to
try
to
bypass
lawful
discovery,
and
we
believe
that
this
bill
meets
that
that
criteria
and
and
that
balance
to
the
questions
that
were
asked
number
one
in
the
current
body,
camera
law
that
we
worked
on
several
sessions
ago
with
then
senator
ford.
Now
the
attorney
general.
J
There
is
a
section
in
that
that
prohibits
an
officer
tampering
with
or
interfering
with,
the
body,
camera
footage,
and
I
believe-
and
I'm
not
a
lawyer,
but
I
believe
that
if
someone
did
something
to
intentionally
mess
up
that
video,
whether
it
was
intentionally
cover
the
camera
or
play
music
to
try
to
hide.
What's
being
said,
I
believe
that
that
would
be
covered
in
that
statue
or
that
statute.
Rather
the
second
question
about
a
policy
at
metro.
We
do
have
a
very
detailed
policy
currently
on
our
agency.
J
Only
supervisors,
detectives
and
certain
officers
in
special
assignments
are
actually
issued.
A
cell
phone
we
are
working
to
have
every
officer
on
the
department
be
issued
a
cell
phone
because
there
is,
as
was
stated,
a
problem
when
you
have
officers
that
need
to
communicate
and
the
the
department
does
not
provide
them
with
a
phone
for
work
use.
J
Our
policy
does
have
a
strict
criteria
on
what's
allowed
to
be
on
that
phone.
As
I
said
earlier,
we're
very
concerned
about
hackers
and
and
cyber
crime
and
and
that
sort
of
thing,
identity,
theft,
a
lot
of
agencies
across
the
country
have
been
targeted.
Major
law
enforcement
agencies
have
been
targeted
with
cyber
attack,
and
so
our
I.t
section
has
strict
protocols
for
officers
to
to
only
use
authorized
applications
so
that
we
don't
run
the
risk
of
of
getting
our
systems
infected
through
cyber
attack.
And,
let's
see
if
I
covered
all
the
questions,
the.
J
In
addition,
I'd
like
to
mention
that
I
think
there
was
a
case
law
about
a
year
ago.
That
stated
that
if
you're
using
your
private
phone
for
business,
if
I
think
in
the
case
that
was
cited,
it
dealt
with
a
county
commissioner,
if
I
remember
correctly
where
they
were
texting
or
sending
messages
on
their
private
phone.
That
was
work
related
and
I
believe
the
court
said
that
a
public
records
request
could
be
done
in
those
cases
where
there's
where
the
line
is
crossed
between
using
your
private
phone
to
do
your
actual
work
business.
J
J
C
Thanks,
madam
chair,
just
checking
the
record
you
and
eric
bratley
testified
against
the
bills
that
changed
since
okay,
all
right
that
that's
really
so
the
old
days
of
you
know
10
adam
four
and
all
that
that's
gone.
J
Yes,
senator
chuck
callaway
for
the
record.
The
old
days
of
the
call
box
where
we
had
to
go
to
phone
in
from
the
street
on
the
call
box
are
gone.
That's
the
last.

for
the

association.
We
thank
speaker

for
working
with

to
make
this

work
for

and
we
support

Hi,

a
n
nevada
attorneys
for

justice.
Nacj
supports
ab220
public
business
should
be
as
transparent
as
possible
and
especially
in
the
context
of
a
criminal
prosecution.
Thorough
records
are
necessary
in
order
to
have
a
fair
trial
where
the
jury
hears
all
relevant
evidence.
D
H

I
Thank
you
again,
matt,
I'm
cheer
for
the
record
jason
fryerson.
I
I
thank
you
all
for
the
questions.
I
really
want
to
thank
members
of
the
law
enforcement
law
enforcement
community
that
I
I
think
this
is.
You
know
one
of
the
ways
that
I
have
been
able
to
advance
policy
that
I
think
is
effective
as
collaborating
early
on
the
front
end
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
unintended
consequences,
but,
as
we
have
newer
technology
that
we
adapt
to
make
sure
that
the
the
justice
system
works
properly.
A
Thank
you
very
much
speaker
and
you're
right.
Working
it
on
the
front.
End
is
the
best.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
believe
that
unless
I
have
any
more
conversation
or
questions,
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
A
K
A
K
Please
go
ahead
good
afternoon,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
do
appreciate
this
time
to
present
to
you
what
I
think
is
a
very
exciting
bill
for
carson
city
as
a
whole,
and
it's
somewhat
in
memory
of
former
assignment
pete
livermore,
since
he
started
this
operation
for
the
record.
I'm
assemblyman
p.k
o'neill,
representing
assembly
district
40,
which
covers
all
of
in
carson
city
in
part
of
southeast
warsaw
county.
K
K
Both
places
are
unique
and
tell
the
rich
history
of
the
state.
In
its
early
days
for
150
years,
the
nevada
state
prison
nsp
played
an
important
role
in
the
state
of
nevada,
protecting
its
citizens,
influenced
architecture,
providing
employment
and
amassing
an
impressive
list
of
historical,
significant
events
after
nsp
was
decommissioned
in
2012,
the
nevada
state
prison
preservation
society
was
formed
as
a
non-profit,
with
the
goal
of
preserving
interpreting
and
developing
this
important
site
for
the
education
of
present
and
future
generations.
K
The
society
is
still
hard
at
work,
trying
to
get
the
prison
museum
up
and
running
the
stuart
indian
school.
For
those
who
may
not
know
its
history
for
90
years
fulfilled
a
federal
commitment
to
pursue
native
american
education
in
nevada,
not
always
the
best,
but
they
thought
they
had
good
intentions
at
the
time
the
school
opened
in
1890,
with
37
students
from
local
washoe,
paiute
and
shoshone
tribes
and
three
teachers.
K
K
The
facility
is
now
used
by
the
state
for
classes,
training
and
agency
office,
including
the
nevada
indian
commission,
which
is
located
in
the
former
superintendent's
home.
Today,
the
stuart
indian
school
is
listed
on
the
national
register
of
historic
places
and
the
stuart
indian
school
cultural
center
and
museum
is
the
former
administration
building.
K
Issues
sections
one
two
and
five
of
the
bill
require
the
proceedings
from
fees
charged
for
use
of
the
buildings
or
grounds
of
the
former
stuart
indian
school,
to
be
credited
to
the
nevada,
indian
commission's
gift
fund
to
carry
out
programs
to
preserve
and
maintain
the
building
grounds
of
the
former
stuart
indian
school
section.
3
revises
the
allocation
of
money
in
the
silver
state,
industry's
endowment
fund
for
the
maintenance
and
modern
structures,
buildings
and
other
properties
of
the
prison
and
administration
costs
and
eliminates
the
prohibition
on
spending
or
transferring
the
reserve
principles
of
the
fund.
K
Section
4
creates
an
exemption
in
current
law
that
prohibits
the
sale
of
alcohol
within
within
one
half
mile
of
any
department
of
corrections
facility
that
houses,
125
or
more
inmates.
This
provision
will
allow
the
sale
or
consumption
of
beer
and
wine
in
the
nevada
state
prison
special
events
and
going
into
a
little
more
detail
it
also
we
it'll
be
in
such
a
way
that
it'll
be
brought
on
and
left
after.
K
The
event
is
over
with
it'll,
be
served
in
red
solo
cups
or
some
other
type
of
container,
so
it
cannot
be
hidden
or
secreted
any
place
in
the
building.
The
preservation
society
is
committed
to
doing
all
their
own
cleanups
without
trustees
afterwards,
so
we've
gone
to
the
protection
in
that
regard,
so
it
can't
be
smuggled
back
in
to
the
facility
next
door.
The
warm
springs
correction
center,
then
section
six
will
allow
for
the
transfer
of
the
reserve
principle
of
the
endowment
fund
for
the
historic
preservation,
nevada
state
prison.
K
K
C
Not
a
question
I
just
I
appreciate
the
bill.
I
really
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
try
to
preserve,
you
know:
nevada,
state
prison
and
the
steward
indian
school,
and
I'm
probably
dating
myself
here,
but
I
actually
grown
up
in
las
vegas
in
the
1970s.
I
knew
I
knew
a
friend
of
the
family
and
she
she
had
gone
to
steward
and
needs
school.
So
I
don't
know
very
many
of
us
can
say
that,
but
yep
thank
you
for
bringing
bill.
K
A
Well,
I
I
too
was
aware,
of
course,
of
the
stuart
indian
school
because
of
my
family's
history
and
my
father
being
in
education,
and
I
think
it's
an
important
piece
of
our
of
our
history
of
nevada.
Additional
questions
from
the
committee
senator
hanson.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
all
right,
seeing
no
more
questions
we'll
go
to
support
and
opposition
and
neutral,
and
thank
you
so
much.
I
enjoyed
the
history
of
that
and
I
hope
that
it's
preserved
in
in
print
form
as
well.
A
A
L
Good
afternoon,
everyone
for
the
record,
I'm
stacy
montouth
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada,
indian
commission,
my
last
name
is
spelled
m-o-n-t-o-o-t-h.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
It
is
and
truly
great
to
see
people
face
to
face.
It's
been
so
long.
I
am
so
excited
about
ab270
to
create
a
revenue
stream
for
our
cultural
center,
for
the
nevada,
indian
commission
will
be
monumental
and
I
stand
for
any
questions
you
might
have
I'd
like
to
just
make
one
commentary.
L
C
M
M
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
on
this
bill.
We
feel
that
this
this
will
allow
us
to
bring
the
final
piece
of
the
puzzle
for
carson
city
tourism,
with
the
historical,
the
educational
and
the
cultural
opportunities
at
the
nevada
state
prison.
We
believe
that
this
is
an
opportunity
not
just
for
carson
city
tourism,
but
for
the
state
as
well
and
in
regards
to
how
we
do
tourism
in
this
state.
M
This
will
be
a
worldwide
attraction
for
carson
city.
Also.
I
just
like
to
say
that
the
realignment
of
the
the
financial
part
of
this
bill
doesn't
remove
any
oversight
that
we
as
a
preservation,
society,
endorse
and
support.
It
will
just
simply
allow
us
to
operate
in
an
easier
manner
and
bring
this
facility
to
its
full
potential
in
a
much
more
timely
nature.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
marla
mcdade
williams,
with
strategies
360
representing
the
reno
sparks
indian
colony.
Today,
we
just
want
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
bill
and
thank
assemblyman
o'neill
for
recognizing
that
there
was
a
similar
bill
last
session
for
the
stuart
indian
museum
and
he
took
the
opportunity
to
add
it
to
us
bill.
So
we're
very
appreciative
of
that.
Thank
you.
N
N
I
personally
it
was
my
first
office
when
I
was
an
attorney.
I
worked
for
nevada,
indian
legal
services
and
their
offices
used
to
be
out
at
the
stuart
indian
school,
so
I
got
to
experience
it
firsthand
and
it
is
it's
just
a
wonderful
place
and
it
is
good
to
preserve
it
because
back
in
the
70s,
when
I
worked
there,
I
recall
that
they
had
the
some
of
the
houses
which
the
staff
stayed
in.
N
N
N
One
time
I
was
walking
across
the
yard
with
then
warden
george
sumner
and
I
said
to
george,
I
said:
how
safe
is
this
walked
across
the
yard
said.
Don't
worry,
he
said,
we've
got
a
guy
up
there
on
the
catwalk,
with
a
shotgun
and
if
you're,
taking
hostage,
he'll
shoot
you
in
in
your
assailant,
with
bird
shot
and
you'll
be
able
to
get
away,
and
I
said
well,
I
said
that's
not
really
particularly
comforting,
but
so
so
it
has
a
wonderful
history
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
H
H
O
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
charlie
donahue
donahue
d-o-n-o-h-u-e
and
I
serve
as
the
administrator
of
the
division
of
state
lands.
In
that
capacity,
I
also
serve
as
a
state
land
registrar.
The
state
land
office
is
neutral
on
assembly
bill
270..
However,
the
agency
would
like
to
thank
the
bill
sponsor
assemblyman
o'neill,
for
working
with
the
agency
on
the
amendment
that
generated
this
first
reprint
and
clarifying
the
need
to
designate
which
structures
and
portions
of
the
grounds
will
be
subject
to
the
special
use
permits
under
section
2.5.
O
This
is
a
critical
element
of
the
bill,
because
legislation
also
also
authorizes
the
museum
director
to
issue
these
special
use
permits
for
events
that
generate
revenue
for
various
program
programming
to
preserve
the
facility,
as
well
as
the
cultural
integrity
of
the
former
stewart
indian
school.
It's
nice
to
have
this
process
more
clearly
defined.
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
members
of
the
committee
for
allowing
me
to
comment
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
of
your
questions
or
the
committee
members.
A
Much
all
right
speaker,
oh
security,
you
don't
have
anything
to
say.
C
A
C
A
Well,
there
are
some
of
us
that
served
under
him
and
so
we're
proud
to
be
able
to
say
that
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
attending
senate
government
affairs
all
right
with
that
I'll
close
public
testimony.
Oh
mr
assemblyman
o'neill,
please
come
up
for
closing.
K
K
As
a
politician,
we
always
like
to
take
credit
for
everything,
good
and
blame
somebody
else
for
everything
bad,
but
in
this
case
I've
really
got
to
give
credit
to
marlon
mcdade
when
I
was
in
conversation
with
her
bringing
this
forward
and
talking
to
me
and
explaining
to
me
some
things
since
I
did
have
a
little
hesitancy
and
she
deserves
a
lot
of
the
credit
for
the
for
this
bill,
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
forward
to
you
all
and
get
that
on
the
record.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
I
appreciate
that
we
share
your
fondness
with
miss
mcnaid
williams
and
and
thank
her
for
everything
she's
done
for
this
state
prior
to
her
current
job
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
I
have
a
second
second
from
senator
hansen,
any
discussion
on
the
motion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
All
those
opposed
okay,
well
motion
passes,
so
congratulations,
assemblyman
and
those
that
are
in
attendance.
Thank
you
very
much
for
attending
today.
So
with
that,
we
have
one
last
thing
left
today
and
that
is
public
comment.
A
So
is
there
anyone
in
the
room
who
would
like
to
give
a
public
comment?
Seeing
none
go
ahead.
Please.
C
I
just
wanted
to
I
think,
on
behalf
of
the
other
committee
members.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
being
such
a
great
chairperson,

know
making
sure
that
we
are,
you
know
actively
involved
and

the
best
in

That's
for
sure,
I
think
bringing
out
the
best
in
us
as
legislators,
and
we
picked
up
a
small
little.
C
Oh
gosh,
a
little.
We
have
a
card
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
gift
is
coming.
It's
a
it's.
A
watercolor

of
an
old
nevada
watercolor

L
E
C
Of
a
friend
of
ours

hopefully
going
to
be
here
before,
sign

You

all
too
kind.
This
has
been
a
very
enjoyable
committee.
It's
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
all
of
you,
and
I
appreciate

they
say.
So.
