We

with

this

to
present
assembly
bill
26.
C
C
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
present
assembly
bill
26,
which
is
a
housekeeping
item
that
revises
provisions
governing
programs
of
energy
assistance.
The
energy
assistance
program
provides
a
supplement
to
assist,
qualifying
low-income
nevadans
with
the
cost
of
home.
Energy.
Nevadan's
eap
program
has
two
funding
sources:
the
low
income
home
energy
assistance
program,
federal
block,
grant
and
state
revenue
generated
from
nevada's
universal
energy
charge
or
uec,
which
you
may
see
on
the
tax.
On
the
back
of
your
power
bill,
the
program
the
eap
program
year
begins
july.
C
C
A
C
These
reports
are
utilized
to
distribute
any
remaining
uec
funds.
These
proposed
changes
were
recommended
by
the
legislative
council
bureau
to
clarify
and
specify
the
dates
listed
in
nrs
to
ensure
the
universal
energy
charge.
Funds
are
distributed
as
intended
in
regulation
and
remove
any
room
for
interpretation
of
previous
language.
A
D
I
got
right
of
the
hand
now,
okay,
okay,
so
thank
you,
mr
vice
chair.
I
I
guess
I
mean
it's
pretty
simple
right,
it's
pretty
straightforward!
What
you're
asking
for
just
being
a
novice!
I
don't
know
what
you
know.
Lawyers
tend
to
know
exactly
how
a
language
change
changes
everything.
So
you
have
here
getting
rid
of
the
word
during
and
instead
on
or
before
june
30th.
D
You
believe
that
that
provides
enough
clarification
so
that
they
know
that
the
funds
that
are
not
spent
between
that
time
and
december
and
that's
the
other
part
of
it
is
it
still
is
it
still
part
of
the
bill
or
the
the
language
of
the
revised
statute.
Is
that
if
they're
unspent
before
december
31st,
then
that
those
monies
can
be
spent
on
something
else.
C
Maria
wharton
meshberger
for
the
record.
I
do
believe
that
the
language
clarification
will
be
sufficient
and,
yes,
we
have
to
expand
any
funds
received
prior
on
or
before
june
30th
by
the
end
of
december.
Otherwise
they
can
be
distributed
to
the
housing
division.
D
A
Thank
you,
senator
does
any
of
the
committee
members
have
any
further
questions
on
assembly
bill,
26.
A
E
A
A
Thank
you
well
miss
meshberger.
You
were
so
quick
and
efficient
and
that
there
are
no
questions.
No
opposition,
no
no
support
nothing.
So
we
appreciate
that
I
can
then
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
26
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item.
A
A
A
If
you
recall
about
a
forum,
this
was
something
that
would
afford,
and
I
know
senator
hammond
and
myself.
I've
worked
on
it
a
little
bit,
and
so
this
is
a
bill
from
that
process,
and
so
I
have
a
motion
to
introduce
bdr
number
two
from
senator
spearman.
Do
I
have
a
second.
A
Senator
hammond,
thank
you
and
any
discussion
on
this.
F
F
I
just
try
I'm
trying
to
understand
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here
is
this:
to
provide
my
micro
transit
services,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
bill.
A
Actually,
it
is
to
provide
microtransit
services
in
southern
nevada,
where
there
was
population
cap
that
didn't
allow
in
southern
nevada,
but
it
existed
in
other
counties,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
have
a
a
a
good
build
discussion.
When
we
get
introduced.
F
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
F
A
Yes,
the
the
motion
carries.
A
And
that
is
the
last.
We
have
a
order
of
business
for
today
and
now
we
have
public
comment
and
so
public
comment
can
be
made
by
calling
in
based
on
the
information
that
was
on
the
agenda.
That's
posted
on
the
agenda
or
you
can
go
to
the
the
nevada
legislature's
website
and
they
have

the

E
E

All

well,
thank
you,

we
don't
seem
to
have
any
public

this
afternoon.
