We
will
take
the
bills
in
numerical
order.
Well,
after
each
bill
presentation,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
the
members
to
ask
questions.
All
of
our
members
are
here
in
person,
but
I
understand
some
of
the
people.
Answering
questions
will
be
via
zoom.
We
can
all
see
them
up
on
the
zoom
screen
and
last
time
I
watched
a
committee
meeting,
it
looks
like
bps
has,
as
always
exceeded
expectations
and
those
of
you
watching
at
home
will
see
the
people
answering
the
questions
on
your
screen.
A
After
each
presentation
there
will
be
testimony
and
support
opposition
and
neutral.
We
will
do
people
who
are
in
person
first
and
then
people
on
the
phone
lines,
and
I
also
will
have
to
step
out
around
1
30
to
present
to
bill
in
an
assembly
committee,
at
which
point
one
of
my
very
capable
colleagues
will
take
over
chairing
this
meeting.
For
me,
but
until
that
happens
I
will
try
to
run
this
ship
and
we
will
start
by
opening
up
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill.
A
E
May
I
begin
madam
chair.
Yes,
please
go
ahead
hi.
My
name
is
rochelle
nguyen.
I
am
the
assembly
representative
for
assembly
district
10,
which
is
in
central,
las
vegas.
I'm
proud
here
to
be
here,
presenting
my
very
first
bill
in
the
senate
ever
and
also
I'm
excited
to
be
here
in
senate,
judiciary
assembly
bill
140
comes
from.
I
think,
one
of
the
best
places
it
is
directly
from
a
constituent
who
I
also
have
here
to
answer
questions
and
co-present.
E
I
have
miss
allison
brazier
on
the
line.
Zoom
call
she
is
a
neighbor
and
came
to
me
with
a
real
issue
that
she
was
facing
and
that
nevadans
were
facing
in
our
community
when
they
were
injured
in
car
accidents
by
foreign
nationals,
and
with
that
I
will
actually
turn
this
over
to
mr
justin
randall
to
kind
of
go
through
the
details
of
the
bill,
what
the
intent
is
and
what
this
will
do
and
chair
if
we
can
go
to
him
next.
That
would
be
great.
Yes,.
F
Sorry,
I
was
muted
there
for
a
second.
Let
me
step
back
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
justin
randle,
and
I
am
here
to
present
on
ab140
I'm
a
practicing
personal
injury
attorney
here
in
las
vegas
as
the
ab-140.
Essentially,
what
it
does
is
it's
a
service
of
process
bill.
So
when
an
individual
in
nevada
is
involved
in
a
car
accident
and
the
case
is
unable
to
be
resolved
prior
to
filing
a
lawsuit
the
lawsuit
is
drafted
filed
and
then
the
next
step
is
to
serve
the
defendant.
F
So
the
person
who
caused
the
harm
when
we
serve
the
defendant.
If
they
are
a
resident
of
the
united
states,
we
typically
go
through
a
personal
service,
which
means
we
have
to
physically
hand
them
a
copy
of
the
lawsuit,
as
well
as
the
paperwork
that
was
drafted
when
they're
a
resident
of
the
united
states.
Typically,
we
can
find
them
within
a
reasonable
period
of
time
at
a
reasonable
cost.
F
There
are
other
alternative
forms
of
service
as
well,
but
in
the
personal
injury
context,
the
most
common
way
would
be
to
surf
them
through
the
dmv
and
what
that
means
is
essentially
the
dnp
would
accept
service
on
their
behalf,
which
they
consent
to
as
a
driver
on
the
roads
of
our
state
and
that
allows
us
to
proceed
with
the
lawsuit.
Now,
if
the
defendant
is
a
foreign,
national
or
a
resident
of
a
foreign
country,
we
don't
have
that
option
right
now.
F
F
The
rental
car
agency
under
this
bill
would
be
required
to
accept
service
on
their
behalf
very
similar
to
the
dmv
statute,
and
that's
what
what
where
this
idea
came
from
now.
This
bill
is
very
common
in
other
high
tourism
states.
California
has
a
virtually
identical
bill.
Florida,
texas
and
other
states
that
have
a
lot
of
foreign
visitors.
F
The
the
bill
essentially
would
allow
the
dmv
to
accept
the
service
on
their
behalf
and
then
forward
that
service
to
the
renter
in
the
foreign
country.
Now
this
is
a
major
problem
in
high
tourist
areas.
You
know
washout
county
tahoe
las
vegas.
We
have
a
lot
of
high
tourist
areas
in
the
state
and
unfortunately,
what
happens
is
you'll.
Have
someone
come
here?
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
First,
let
me
just
make
sure
I
understand
the
process.
I've
done
personal
injury
work,
but
never
with
a
foreign
national.
It's
my
understanding
that
the
rental
car
company
is
ultimately
or
typically
ends
up
as
the
financier
of
last
resort,
in
that
they
will
be
their
insurance
policy
will
be
sought
in
the
case
that
we
can't
reach
the
the
foreign
national.
G
F
Thank
you
for
your
question.
Senator
this.
This
is
absolutely
correct.
So
if
you're
a
foreign
driver-
and
you
come
to
the
united
states,
you
rent
a
car
through-
let's
say
hertz
enterprise,
whatever
you're
required
to
purchase
their
insurance.
They
are
typically
either
self-insured
or
through
an
insurance
company,
but
in
any
event
they
provide
the
turn
to
the
individual
and
then
the
insurance
that's
provided
would
be.
What
covers
the
loss
or
the
damages
for
the
individual.
That's
been
harmed
by
the
foreign
national,
all
right
so.
G
H
Thank
you,
chair
schaible.
I
guess
my
question
kind
of
follows
up
on
on
senator
pickards.
I'm
wondering
why
we
require
service
on
the
person
at
all.
If
the,
if
we
know
the
insurance
company,
or
I
mean
the
rental
car
company
is
who
is
ultimately
going
to
be
defending
right,
why?
Why
not
a
a
a
separate
claim
where
the
in
the
rental
car
company
then
has
to
bring
in
the
driver
themselves,
if
they'd
like
to
seek
some
reimbursement
for
the
cost
of
the.
F
Injury
you
senator
harris.
Quite
honestly,
we
would
love
that.
That's
not
the
way.
The
system
typically
works
in
the
united
states.
My
understanding
is,
there's
only
one
state
that
actually
provides
that
type
of
system,
and
that
would
be
the
state
of
louisiana,
so
the
49
other
states,
including
nevada,
under
our
rules
of
civil
procedure.
F
You
sue
the
the
person
that
caused
the
harm,
the
tort,
teaser,
the
actual
defendant
who
hit
you
with
their
car
or
whatever
the
situation
may
be,
and
then,
ultimately,
the
insurance
will
come
in
and
defend
and
indemnify
them
for
any
loss
or
payments
that
are
made.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
I
just
don't
think
that
our
system
has
been
set
up
in
that
way,
but
we'd
be
happy
to
go
down
that
route
if
you
wanted
to,
but
I
don't
know
that
our
friends
in
the
insurance
industry
would
be
supportive
of
that.
I
If
I
could
just
add
to
what
mr
randall
said,
this
is
allison
brazier
for
the
record.
What
we're
trying
to
accomplish
is
similar
to
what
is
already
available
to
drivers
who
are
residents
of
the
us
as
far
as
alternative
means
of
us
process
of
service.
So
right
now,
if
you
live
in
the
u.s,
we
can
serve
by
publication
or
through
the
dmv,
and
so
we're
trying
to
create
a
similar
parallel
track
or
for
international
drivers.
I
And
so
that's
where
the
rental
car
agency,
being
the
the
acceptor
of
service
for
them,
would
be
similar
to
how
the
dmv
would
accept
service
for
other
drivers.
F
And
this
is
justin
randall
I'll,
give
you
some
examples
of
this
happening,
so
we
in
the
past
year
alone,
and
I
operate
a
small
law
firm
in
las
vegas,
but
I've
run
into
this
issue
at
least
five
times.
Typically,
what
will
happen
is
you'll
have
an
auto
accident
somewhere
within
clark
county.
In
our
circumstance,
the
driver
will
hit
someone
else's
vehicle,
the
police
will
come
to
the
scene
and
the
police
and
doing
their
report
will
get
portions
of
an
address.
Maybe
a
city,
maybe
a
state.
F
It
also
said
france,
and
there
was
a
street
address
that
was
found
in
a
third
country,
so
the
information
you're
getting
at
the
scene
when
it's
a
foreign
driver
is
almost
never
accurate
and
then
the
insurance
companies
who
have
all
that
information
are
not
ever
willing
to
provide
that
information
to
the
plaintiff.
So,
ultimately,
the
person
being
armed
here
is
the
nevada
resident
or
the
nevada
individual.
H
And,
and
thank
you
I-
I
really
appreciate
that.
I
think,
if
I'm
understanding
you
correctly
not
that
I
would
encourage
us
to
to
follow
in
louisiana's
footsteps
all
the
time,
but
we
could
in
fact
set
up
our
system
that
way
if
we
so
chose
it's
just
a
little
bit
more
work,
because
that's
not
how
we
do
things
right
now
is.
Is
that
right.
F
This
is
justin
reynolds
and
I
think
that's
that's
fair,
senator
harris.
We
just
don't
have
the
system
under
our
rules
of
civil
procedure
to
operate
in
that
manner,
and
we
think
it's
a
great
idea.
We
would
love
to
do
that,
but
that
is
not
the
system
we
work
within
right
now.
A
All
right,
I
think
we
still
have
a
question
from
senator
settlemyre.
Please
go
ahead.
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
was
just
kind
of
curious.
Is
this
kind
of
the
industry
standard
amongst
all
the
states?
I
would
hope
that
we're
trying
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
individuals
that
are
traveling
around
the
united
states
or
even
from
other
countries.
So
I
was
just
curious
whether
states
or
is
this
somewhat
of
a
standard
down.
F
Thank
you,
senator
settlemeyer.
I
think
this
is
becoming
more
of
a
standard.
If
you
look
at
states
like
our
state
that
have
high
levels
of
tourism,
they
are
much
more
likely
to
have
this
standard.
Obviously,
lower
tourism
states
iowa,
something
like
that,
may
not
have
it.
But
if
you're
looking
at
a
state,
california,
florida
texas,
where
you're
having
an
influx
of
foreign
visitors,
it's
a
very
common
law
to
have
in
processing.
G
And
to
follow,
if
I
could
share
in
that
relation,
what
does
it
look
like
around
our
surrounding
states,
because
it
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
too,
to
have
similar
laws
to
them,
because,
at
least
in
my
area,
up
in
tahoe
people
drive
across
the
state
line
all
the
time
and
down
in
your
neck
of
the
woods,
the
same
thing
occurs
with
the
other
states.
Do
you
have
any
concept
of
what
the
states
around
us
are.
C
Thank
you
very
much
jericho
and
my
question
either
for
the
sponsor
for
mr
randall.
You
know,
we've
got
the
traditional
car
rental
companies
and
then
on
a
recent
trip
to
seattle.
I
I
saw
this
it's
a
service
where
people
can
rent
a
vehicle
for
a
few
hours.
They
do
it
all
online.
They
don't
actually
deal
with
a
person.
C
I
wonder-
and
I
don't
know
if
we
have
this
in
nevada-
I
haven't
seen
it,
but
if
we
do
with
this
supply,
if
a
foreign
national
is
visiting
nevada
and
uses
one
of
these
services
where
they
rent
a
car
for
a
few
hours
of
a
day
and
then
bring
it
back,
would
this
apply
to
them
too?
If
a
nevadan
was
injured.
F
Well
and
the
and
thank
you
senator
schult,
the.
F
Actual
language,
I'm
sorry
this
is
justin
randle,
the
language
of
the
bill
uses
the
term
short-term
lesson
and
short-term
lessor.
So
it's
not
specific
to
you
know
a
major
company
hertz
enterprise,
something
like
that.
It
specifically
just
deals
with
short-term
lessors
and
short-term
lesses,
as
they're
defined
in
nrs
482.05.
I
C
I
Allison
brazier
for
the
record.
I
just
want
to
jump
in
because
we
do.
As
probably
many
of
you
know,
there
are
bills,
a
bill
that
passed
out
of
the
assembly
and
then
I
believe
from
the
senate
to
establish
a
framework
for
those
peer-to-peer
rental
companies,
which
is,
I
think,
what
senator
orrinshaw
was
referring
to
currently
the
way
that
those
companies
are
defined
under
nevada
law.
They
are
not
considered
to
be
short-term
lessors,
so
they
would
not
be
included
in
this
spill.
I
However,
in
discussions
surrounding
these
peer-to-peer
company
and
the
framework
that
they're
gonna
operate
under
the
state
of
nevada,
that's
a
concern
that
that
we've
brought
up
that.
They
should
also
be
included
in
this
bill,
since
it
would
be
a
similar
idea,
but
just
in
a
different
context
of
how
the
vehicle
is
being
rented.
So
as
the
bill
is
currently
drafted,
no,
it
would
not
apply
to
those
companies,
but
but
I
think
that
in
all
practicality,
you
know
that
that
it
should
be
considered.
E
And
chair,
if
I
can
also
answer
rochelle
wynn
for
the
record,
the
peer-to-peer
and
including
them,
it
was
something
that
we
have
discussed
and
how
we
incorporate
some
of
these
new
technologies.
In
these
new
platforms
that
people
are
using
to
rent
cars,
rent
pools,
rent
homes,
rent
rvs,
I
think
there
is
not
a
whole
lot
that
is
untouched
in
the
peer-to-peer
like
app-based
kind
of
platforms.
G
Thank
you-
and
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
this
point,
because,
if
there's
a
bill
running
through
the
legislature
right
now,
that
will
require
the
peer-to-peer
services
to
include
the
excise
taxes
and
that's
done
at
the
platform
level.
I
would
imagine
that,
if
we're
going
through
that
platform
level
for
that,
we
could
probably
also
require
insurance
policy
procurement
at
that
stage,
just
a
food
for
thought.
Thank
you.
Manager.
E
Thank
you,
rochelle
lynn,
for
the
record
senator
picker.
It's
definitely
something
that
we've
been
talking
about.
I've
been
talking
about
this
with
the
bill
sponsor
on
that
other
peer-to-peer
rental
like
car
type
bill
that
is
processing
through
the
you
know,
legislative
process
right
now.
So
if
we
can
incorporate
that
and
have
some
consistency
in
the
definition
of
what's
included,
it's
definitely
something
that
we're
interested
in
doing.
A
A
J
A
A
J
A
A
A
And
for
the
record
vice
chair,
kanazario
is
here
and
I
will
be
handing
over
the
gavel
to
her
momentarily.
A
K
Good
afternoon
chair
my
share
committee,
I'm
leslie
cohen,
representing
assembly
district
29
in
henderson,
and
a
little
bit
of
unincorporated
clark
county,
I'm
honored
to
present
assembly
bill
145,
the
uniform
registration
of
canadian
money
judgments
act,
the
uniform
registration
of
canadian
money
judgments
act
was
drafted
by
the
uniform
law.
Commission-
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
too
much
about
that
because
I
understand
your
committee
is
very
well
acquainted
with
that.
K
But
I
will
just
remind
you
that
ulc
proposed
legislation
is
nonpartisan
in
areas
of
state
statutory
law
where
uniformity
is
necessary
and
beneficial
and
nevada
has
a
long
history
of
adopting
ulc
law.
Also
that,
let's
see
no
uniform
law
is
affected
and
effective
until
it's
adopted
by
a
state
legislature.
K
So
presenting
with
me,
I
don't
think
we
have
a
commissioner
bacchus
with
us.
I
think
she's
in
the
next
room
over,
but
I
do
have
caitlyn
bull
from
the
uniform
law
commission
legislative
council.
Can
we
just
check
if
she's
on
the
zoo?
I
understand
she
registered.
M
Yes
hi.
This
is
rice
wolf,
I'm
here
but
assembly,
one
cohen.
If
you'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
have
commissioner
bacchus
co-present
with
you,
that
would
be
fine.
I
could
be
here
for
questions
as
well,
but
because
commissioner
backus
is
available,
I
think
we
should
go
ahead
and
let
her
co-present
with
you.
If
that's
okay,.
L
Good
afternoon,
okay
good
afternoon,
vice
chair
ken
azero
and
I
understand,
chair,
schaible
may
have
stepped
away
and
members
of
the
committee
on
judiciary
for
the
record.
I
am
shay
backus,
I'm
here
in
my
capacity
as
a
commissioner
for
the
uniform
law
commission
today.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
introduce
assembly
bill
145
with
assemblywoman
cohen,
who
is
also
a
ulc
commissioner.
I
want
to
first
take
a
moment
to
thank
assemblywoman
cohen
for
sponsoring
this
uniform
act.
L
There
are
several
advantages
to
enacting
the
registration
act.
First,
it
streamlines
the
recognition
and
enforcement
process
of
a
canadian
money
judgment
under
the
current
uniform
foreign
country
money
judgments,
recognition
act,
a
person
who
has
received
a
foreign
judgment
has
to
file
a
lawsuit
in
order
to
have
their
foreign
judgment
recognized.
L
This
registration
act
offers
an
expedited
administrative
process
to
accomplish
the
same
goal.
This
ultimately
reduces
the
legal
costs
associated
with
enforcing
the
foreign
judgment.
Second,
the
process
established
in
the
registration
act
was
designed
to
reduce
judicial
workload
and
help
decongest
court
dockets,
because
it
does
not
require
the
court
to
hold
a
full
judicial
proceeding
to
recognize
and
enforce
a
canadian
money
judgment.
L
Third,
this
record
this
registration
act
establishes
a
registration
procedure
similar
to
the
canadian
registration
procedure
regarding
foreign
judgments,
including
a
judgment
secured
in
the
state
of
nevada.
This
similar
registration
procedure
will
benefit
those
registering
judgments
from
canada
in
nevada
under
this
act
and
those
registering
nevada
and
judgments
in
canada
under
the
canadian
statutes.
L
Most
importantly,
the
enactment
of
this
act
will
facilitate
commerce
between
nevada
and
canada.
Canada
is
one
of
the
united
states
most
important
trading
partners.
The
registration
act
facilitates
commerce
between
the
two
countries
by
offering
a
streamlined,
less
expensive
procedure
for
the
recognition
and
enforcement
of
money
judgments,
which
are
a
result
of
commercial
activity
between
the
nations.
L
According
to
the
business
council
of
canada
in
nevada,
canada
is
the
nevada's
third
largest
export
market
and
prior
to
covet,
19
82
800
nevada
jobs
depended
on
trade
and
investment
with
canada.
The
streamlining
recognition
and
enforcement
of
canadian
money
judgments
in
nevada
will
continue
to
facilitate
commerce
between
canada
and
nevada
through
the
streamline
process.
L
When
this
bill
was
introduced
in
the
assembly
judiciary
committee,
it
was
convenient
that
it
was
the
same
week
that
canada
day,
that
is
celebrated
in
our
legislature
had
been
celebrated
in
the
2019
session.
At
this
time
I
will
turn
the
presentation
of
ab145
over
to
caitlyn
wolfe,
who
is
the
legislative
council
for
the
uniform
law
commission
and
she
will
walk
you
through
the
sections
of
the
proposed
bill.
M
You
so
much,
commissioner,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
commissioner
bacchus,
for
for
turning
it
over
to
me.
So
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
the
committee
today.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
consideration
of
the
bill.
As
commissioner
back
has
said,
I'm
going
to
just
walk
you
through
the
bill.
It's
it's
a
quick
one.
M
So,
first
of
all
sections
one
two
3
4
and
5
are
sort
of
general
housekeeping
matters,
situating
the
act
within
the
nevada,
revised
statutes,
establishing
the
title
of
the
act
and
a
couple
of
key
definitions,
including
canada,
canadian
and
canadian
judgment,
as
we
get
into
section
six
of
the
bill,
that's
where
we
go
into
more
of
the
meat
of
the
bill.
So
it
explains
that,
as
commissioner
bacchus
said,
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
providing
a
registration
procedure
specifically
for
canadian
money
judgments.
M
So
this
section
explains
the
scope
and
also
explains
that
if
a
canadian
money
judgment
contains
relief
other
than
money,
you
can
only
use
this
act
to
seek
recognition
and
registration
of
the
money
judgment
piece.
The
same
goes
for
subject
matter
that
may
fall
outside
the
scope
of
the
act.
You
may
not
use
this
act.
M
M
M
M
Section
12
describes
a
little
bit
more
about
how
this
uniform
act
integrates
with
your
current
law.
The
foreign
country
money
judgment
recognition
act.
It
specifically
states
that
either
a
person
can
use
the
procedure
specified
under
the
recognition
act.
So,
as
commissioner
backus
explains,
that
would
be
filing
a
full
lawsuit
having
a
full
judicial
proceeding
on
the
foreign
country
money
judgment
or
if
it
is
a
canadian
money
judgment,
they
could
use
this
simple
administrative
registration
procedure.
M
States
cannot
seek
recognition
using
both
acts
at
the
same
time
and
then
section
13
and
14
establish
you
know
our
general
uniformity,
language
and
also
an
effective
date
for
the
bill.
So
that
is
a
very
quick
run
through
of
the
contents
of
the
bill.
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
as
well,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
K
And,
and
if
I
I
made
sure
I'm
sorry
before
leslie
cohen
assembly
district
29
before
we
get
to
questions,
I
believe
we
should
also
have
kirk
kaplan
on
the
zoom,
I'm
not
sure
your
zoom's
different
than
our
zoom
sorry.
So
if
mr
kaplan's,
there,
he
is
a
nevada
attorney
and
cpa
and
a
member
of
the
canada
nevada
business
alliance,
who
maybe
is
not
there,
okay,
we'll
just
go
on
without
him,
he
really
likes
the
bell,
though,.
D
Okay,
well,
thank
you.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
from
committee
members
we'll
go
with
senator
pickard.
First
go
ahead.
G
G
I've
read
through
this
and
my
guess
is
assemblywoman
cohen
you're
gonna
be
able
to
answer
this
question,
I'm
wondering
because
you
and
I
are
family
lawyers.
We
deal
with
canadian
child
support
orders
which
are
judgments
just
as
they
are
here
in
the
united
states.
G
K
M
Happy
to
respond,
this
is
caitlin
wolfe
for
the
uniform
law.
Commission
senator
pickard.
So
this
actually
I'm
glad
you
asked
the
question,
so
this
does
not
apply
to
domestic
relations
judgments,
so
we
are
specifically
talking
about
money
judgments
as
defined
in
your
existing
law.
So
your
uniform
foreign
country
money
judgment
recognition
act.
M
G
H
Thank
you
vice
chair,
forgive
the
basicness
of
this
question
ahead
of
time,
but
I'm
wondering
why
only.
M
K
I
know
you
can
go
ahead.
I
think
I
would
just
point
to
a
leslie
cohen
assembly,
district,
29
and
0.2.
Well,
we
do
have
that
relationship
with
canada
and
that's
that
they
have
a
similar
legal
structure
as
we
do.
We,
there
are
not
just
the
united
states
but
nevada's
major
trading
partner,
but
I
will
have
wolfe
go
into
more
detail.
M
No,
I
mean
that
that's
exactly
it
assemblywoman
cohen,
so
when
the
ulc
was
first
considering
this
legislation
looking
at
the
close
legal
ties,
socioeconomic
ties
between
the
united
states
and
canada
and
again,
as
commissioner
back
has
already
explained,
there's
a
significant
trade
relationship
between
the
united
states
overall
in
canada
and
then
specifically
between
the
state
of
nevada
and
canada,
job
creation.
M
So
when
the
commissioners
were
contemplating
a
harmonization
project,
we
they
decided
that
because
of
those
close
ties
and
because
of
the
significant
business
activity
and
litigation
between
the
two
nations
that
it
would
be.
You
know
well
advised
to
to
offer
this
streamlined
procedure
for
canadian
money
judgments,
specifically.
H
And
if
I
made
just
a
quick
follow-up,
so
I
think
what
I'm
what
I'm
hearing
is.
It
may
make
sense
to
do
this
with
other
countries.
We
just
maybe
haven't
identified
ones
where
we
have
the
same
relationship,
but
if,
for
some
reason,
our
relationship
with
the
uk
blossomed
so
much,
it
would
also
make
sense
to
put
the
same
structure
in
place
for
their
judgments.
M
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
cohen,
yes,
and
actually,
when
the
uniform
law
commission
first
decided
to
study
this
area
of
law,
they
actually
contemplated,
including
some
other,
I
believe,
caribbean
nations
and
other
countries
and
ultimately
decided
to
work
with
actually
the
uniform
law
conference
of
canada,
which
is
similar
to
our
united
states,
uniform
law
commission.
M
That
was
actually
the
group
that
they
paired
up
with
on
this
to
to
harmonize
and
again,
it
may
be
worthwhile
considering
doing
a
streamlined
registration
procedure
like
this
for
other
nations,
but
I
think,
based
on
the
data
available
at
the
time,
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
about
the
significant
trade
between
the
nations
and
close,
you
know
socioeconomic
legal
ties
that
it
made
the
most
sense
sense
to
limit
this
to
canada
at
the
time
of
the
bill.
Drafting.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
C
Thank
you
very
much
majority
leader
and
thank
you,
assemblyman
cohen,
for
sponsoring
assembly,
bill
145
and
commissioner
backus.
Thank
you
very
much
for
presenting
it
and
being
so
active
with
the
uniformed
law.
Commissioners
and
ms
wolf,
and
I
appreciate
the
bill,
especially
because
I've
seen
a
lot
of
data
about
how
many
you
know.
Canadians
come
to
nevada
and
our
snowbirds
and
part-time
residents
and
of
course
many
many
of
our
large
businesses
in
nevada
are
are
owned
by
canadian
companies.
I
believe
barrack
mining
is
one
that
comes
to
mind.
C
I
know
that
there
are
many
many
others,
but
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
investment
from
canada
in
nevada
and
vice
versa.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
investment
from
nevadans
over
in
canada,
so
I
think
this
will
help
facilitate
business
transactions.
C
K
Go
ahead,
miss
wolf!
I
I
had
looked
that
up
for
my
last
presentation
and
forgot.
M
Yeah,
so
this
is
caitlyn
wolfe
for
the
uniform
law.
Commission
senator
ornshall.
To
answer
your
question
because
there
has
been
an
update
since
our
last
hearing,
so
one
state,
the
state
of
colorado,
has
enacted
it
so
far,
you're
right
it
is
senator
orangehall,
a
relatively
new
uniform
act,
so
it
was
finalized
by
the
ulc
in
the
summer
of
2019
and
so
colorado
enacted
it
in
2020,
and
it
is
also
pending
in
a
couple
of
other
jurisdictions,
this
legislative
session.
So
it's
almost
through
in
nebraska.
It's
almost
been
enacted
there.
M
K
And
if
I
may,
vice
chair,
leslie
cohen
assembly,
district
29-
and
I
I
would
just
refer
members
to
the
canada
nevada
business
alliance
website,
even
though
they're
not
specifically
related
to
this
act,
it's
really
interesting
to
look
at
all
of
the
business
that
is
being
done
between
our
state
and
and
canada.
I
mean
I
know,
as
as
senator
oran
shaw
mentioned.
K
We
you
know,
mining
is
obviously
one
of
those
big
business
ties
we
have,
but
but
there
are
more
and
and
as
commissioner
bacchus
said
it's
you
know
right
now,
we're
at
over
80
000
jobs.
So
it's
it's
something
to
kind
of
remind
ourselves
on
the
ground,
how
how
we
can
get
business
done
for
the
state.
D
I
have
it
I
I
guess
I
have
a
question
more
out
of
curiosity,
because
you've
made
mention
now
of
the
uniform
foreign,
many
foreign
country,
money,
judgments,
act
and
so
for
canadian
judgments
are
those
currently
when
sought
to
be
enforced
done
so
under
that
protect
those
particular
provisions.
K
Leslie
cohen
assembly,
district
29,
they
are
there's
just
extra
steps
that
have
to
be
taken
is
basically
how
it
works.
So
we
can,
if
you,
if
you'd
like
I'll
I'll,
have
miss
wolfe
kind
of
go
into
the
extra
steps
that
are
taken,
but
it's
it's
just.
This
will
make
it
easier.
C
C
There's
a
lot
of
extra
steps
that
have
gone
in
just
to
make
sure
that
when
someone
has
a
judgment
from
a
foreign
country
that
that
we,
that
there's
no
concerns
about
the
court
system
in
that
country
and
no
no
concern
as
to
the
the
validity
of
the
judgment
and
the
due
process.
That
happened
in
that
country
and
I
believe,
with
the
what
the
uniform
law
commissioners
have
done.
With
this
act.
C
And
I
wasn't
on
the
drafting
committee,
but
because
of
our
relationship
with
canada,
our
confidence
in
their
court
system
and
their
due
process
given
to
all
parties
being
very
similar
to
what
our
system
has
in
this
country.
That
a
lot
of
the
steps
have
been
streamlined.
Whereas
with
the
foreign
money
judgments
act.
C
My
recollection
was
that
there
were
a
lot
more
protections
to
make
sure
that
that
the
the
foreign
country's
judgment
that
we
might
be
honoring
had
the
same
kind
of
due
process
rights
that
we
have
in
our
country
for
for
all
parties
involved.
M
Yes,
vice
chair
can
nazaro
happy
to
address
that
so,
as
senator
orrin
shall
mention
yes,
so
you're
under
your
current
law,
the
foreign
country,
money
judgment,
recognition,
act,
a
money
judgment
that
somebody
wishes
to
have
recognized
and
enforced
in
the
state
of
nevada,
no
matter
which
country
it's
from
canada
or
otherwise
under
current
law.
You
have
to
follow
that
process,
which
means
that
you
need
to
file
a
lawsuit
and
have
a
full-scale
judicial
proceeding
about.
M
Just
as
what
senator
orrinshaw
mentioned,
you
need
to
ensure
that
there
was
due
process
that
it
was
in
in
the
foreign
country,
so
there
was
due
process
that
it
was
a
final,
conclusive
and
enforceable
judgment.
So
there's
no
appeal
going
on
in
the
foreign
country.
It
must
be
final
again
that
there
were
no
issues
in
terms
of
personal
jurisdiction
or
subject
matter
jurisdiction.
You
need
to
have
both
in
the
foreign
country
so
in
the
state
of
nevada.
In
order
to
recognize
and
enforce
a
foreign
country
money
judgment
right
now.
M
M
Instead,
we're
talking
about
essentially
a
simple
streamlined
registration
procedure,
filing
paperwork
with
the
relevant
clerk
of
court
in
nevada
and
skipping
over
the
full-scale
lawsuit
about
that
foreign
country
money
judgment.
If
it's
a
canadian
money
judgment
you
can
file
paperwork
and
as
long
as
you're
you
have
that
you
know
final
complete
judgment.
There
was
due
process.
You've
met
all
of
those
requirements,
you
can
essentially
file
paperwork
and
have
it
registered
recognized
and
enforced,
rather
than
doing
the
full,
the
full-scale
lawsuit
and
going
through
all
of
those
steps,
as
senator
orrinshaw
mentioned.
M
L
Thank
you
majority
leader,
cannaz,
zero
shay
back
is
for
the
record.
I
will
echo
what
most
wolf
had
said,
but
how
I
kind
of
distinguish
it
just
kind
of
boiling
it
down
once
the
recognition
act,
which
almost
requires
the
original
proceeding
of
filing
to
open
a
new
case
to
recognize
the
foreign
judgment
with
respect
to
the
registration
act.
That's
before
this
committee
is
basically
you're.
Just
taking
that
judgment
and
registering
it
with
the
court,
no
need
to
open
up
a
original
proceeding.
L
Let's
say
to
recognize
it
where
you
have
to
have
a
full-blown
evidentiary
hearing
to
recognize
the
judgment,
make
sure
everything's
recognized
instead
you're
registering
it
and
then
serving
it
upon
the
judgment
debtor.
Who
would
then
have
the
opportunity
to
make
those
valid
objections
to
due
process
if
the,
if
the
canadian
judgment
was
secured
in
an
inappropriate
way,
they
can
then
make
their
objection
and
that's
the
purpose
of
this
day.
L
C
You
know
was
the
judgment
rendered
under
a
judicial
system
that
does
or
does
not
provide
impartial
tribunals
or
procedures
compatible
with
the
requirements
for
due
process
of
law
did
was
their
personal
jurisdiction?
Was
their
subject
matter,
jurisdiction
that
you
know
these
things
here
because
of
the
faith
we
have
in
in
our
canadian.
C
Neighbors
up
to
the
north
and
in
their
court
system
would
be
bypassed.
You
know,
which
would
be
better
for
certainly
business
between
our
both
our
countries
because
of
the
faith
we
have
in
in
their
legal
system,
whereas
with
some
other
countries.
There
might
not
be
that
same
that
same
feeling
of
comfort
and
the
court
would
have
to
look
at
those
factors.
D
Additional
questions
from
members
of
the
committee-
okay,
I'm
saying
none
thank
you!
Assemblywoman!
We
will
go
ahead
and
move
then
to
testimony
on
assembly
bill
number
145..
If
you
are
here
in
support
in
person
and
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
make
mad
dash,
then
we
will
move
to
those
joining
us
virtually
and
we
will
go
to
testimony
and
support
if
you
are
waiting
to
give
support
testimony
on
assembly
bill
145..
D
J
D
Okay,
great,
then,
we
will
go
ahead
and
close
support,
testimony
and
open
up
opposition
testimony
for
anyone
wishing
to
testify
in
opposition
to
assembly
world
145,
seeing
no
one
in
person,
so
we
will
move
to
those
joining
us
virtually
if
you're
here
in
opposition
to
assembly
bill
145.
Now
is
your
time
to
speak.
Please
pay
attention
and
we'll
get
your
testimony.
D
D
K
Leslie
cohen
assembly
district
29
no
comments
just
thank
you
very
much
for
hearing
the
bill.
Thank
you
to
commissioner
bacchus
and
miss
wolf
for
your
your
work
with
this
bill,
and
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
D
N
Thank
you
so
much
majority
leader
canazero
and
hello
senate
judiciary
committee.
First
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
having
this
hearing
so
quickly
after
it
passed.
This
is
the
first
bill
actually
that
I
will
be
presenting
on
the
senate
side
this
session,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
be
here.
My
name
is
nathan
anderson
and
it
is
my
honor
and
pleasure
to
represent
assembly
district
30,
which
is
in
sparks.
N
N
N
Whether
spoken
or
written
words
lost
or
miscommunicated
due
to
inadequate
interpretations
or
translations
may
interfere
with
the
court's
ability
to
determine
the
facts
and
administer
justice
for
lep
individuals.
Accurate
interpretation
is
the
only
way
that
they
will
be
able
to
communicate
their
side
of
the
story,
preserve
their
evidence
for
the
record
and
challenge
testimony
of
adverse
witnesses.
N
N
Interpreters
must
also
follow
ethical
standards
to
avoid
providing
evidence
expressing
bias
or
otherwise
engaging
in
inappropriate
side
conversations
with
lep
persons.
This
was
an
area
that
I
never
even
thought
of,
because
I'm
not
an
attorney.
As
many
of
you
know,
I'm
a
teacher,
and
yet
when
you
speak
with
our
le
our
interpreters,
it
is
so
important
for
them
to
have
a
voice
in
front
of
individuals
who
are
making
decisions
for
their
jobs.
N
N
The
second
is
clarifying
the
reporting
of
the
implementation
of
the
language
access
plan.
The
need
for
the
language
access
plan
has
been
a
plan
from
the
administrative
office
of
courts
or
aoc
and
state
courts
for
some
time,
and
they
have
been
working
on
it.
However,
when
you
take
a
look
at
the
website,
the
2013
plan
is
the
last
one
that
is
present
from
discussions
with
a
member
that
currently
is
on
that
committee
or
I'm
sorry,
just
recently
termed
off
that
committee.
N
There
was
a
plan
from
2018
or
2019.
However,
it
is
not
easily
accessible.
It
is
not
on
the
website
this.
This
is
asking
or
legislating
that
it
needs
to
be
done.
So
the
different
items
on
this
report
should
include
the
number
of
laps
individuals
served
the
language,
the
rate
of
utilization,
as
well
as
the
type
of
resources
provided
and
after
working
with
the
newly
hired
as
in
february.
So
just
a
few
months
ago,
aoc
catherine
stocks
as
well
as
john
mccormick.
N
N
I
know
it's
a
very
quick
bill,
but
I
also
know
that
sometimes
that's
the
worst
thing
to
say,
because
then
there
will
be
a
whole
bunch
of
questions,
but
I'm
ready
for
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
in
presenting
this
and
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions
regarding
it.
D
G
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair,
and
and
thank
you,
senator
assemblywoman
anderson.
It's
good
to
see
you
in
this
context
I
mean
I
I
deal
with
court
interpreters
on
a
fairly
regular
basis,
and
I
just
want
to
reemphasize
your
point
that
it
takes
more
than
just
a
fluency.
It
takes
a
real
skill
to
be
able
to
simultaneously
hear
something
translated
and
be
anywhere
near
accurate
and
so
and
we
are
facing
a
real
shortage
of
qualified
interpreters
in
all
sorts
of
languages.
G
My
question
is:
how
does
I
I
want
you
to
go
a
little
more
in
detail
about
how
this
dovetails.
You
know
getting
them
on
the
the
commission
getting
them
not
indoctrinated
but
educated
on
the
plan
and
then
helping
to
implement
the
plan?
How
how
does
this
ultimately
result
in
better,
more
or
more
and
better
qualified
interpreters.
N
Through
vice
chair
kamazaro
to
senator
picker,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
main
thing
that's
going
to
happen
is,
first
of
all,
adding
the
two
more
individuals
onto
this
plan
onto
this
advisory
committee,
we'll
be
able
to
bring
up
those
very
issues.
What
is
the
problem
is
the
problem
in
that
we
don't
have
enough
individuals
that
are
taking
the
test,
which
again
you
know,
there's
a
test.
You
have
to
take
to
be
able
to
become
certified
from
the
website
from
information
I've
been
able
to
get
from
the
other
interpreters.
N
There
were
five
or
six
standard
languages,
however,
there's
an
additional
20
22,
but
are
they
being
offered
enough
times?
Obviously
coveted
19
had
a
big
impact
on
that
since
april
of
last
year,
however,
do
we
have
enough
individuals
that
are
taking
those
tests?
That's
the
first
thing
and
also
having
the
courts
make
sure
that
those
things
are
planned
accurately.
N
Do
we
ever
talk
about
this
as
an
item
that
could
possibly
be
also
a
discussion?
Hey?
Maybe
you
should
think
about
becoming
an
interpreter?
Maybe
we
need
to
do
a
heightened
work
on
this
as
a
career
choice
in
other
educational
matters,
but
this
is
only
one
step
in
doing
so,
and
so
it's
a
way
to
try
to
get
first
of
all
the
aoc
and
the
committee.
N
G
I
appreciate
that
and-
and
you
know
it
was
interesting-
we
when
my
kids
were
in
middle
school
and
starting
their
foreign
language,
we
had
one
of
the
teachers
there,
who
actually
was
a
native
spanish
speaker,
encouraged
their
students,
particularly
those
that
were
native
spanish
speakers,
to
become
interpreters,
and
so,
when
I
saw
this
build,
that
was
the
first
thing
that
came
to
mind.
Was
you
know,
can
we
instantly?
Can
we
use
this
as
a
platform
to
institute
that
interpretation
conversation
in
the
middle
schools
so
anyway,
just
I?
C
Thank
you
very
much
majority
leader
and
assemblyman
anderson.
It's
really
an
honor
to
get
to
see
you
present
this
bill
and
you
know
they're
just
a
few
of
us
in
the
building
who
got
to
serve
with
your
father,
and
there
were
many
times
when
he
was
chairing
the
assembly
judiciary
committee
that
I
would
hear
chairman
anderson
say
I
I'm
an
educator,
I'm
not
an
attorney,
but
still
he
was
able
to
shape
nevada
law
in
so
many
very
positive
ways.
C
One
question
I
have
with
this
bill,
and
maybe
the
study
will
deal
with
it,
but
we've
seen
how
well
this
new
technology
works
with
zoom
and
teams,
and
I
I've
noticed
in
court
that
when
sometimes
we've
had
difficulty
finding
interpreter.
I
once
had
a
client
in
juvenile
court
who
spoke
kind
of
a
romani
dialect
and
we
had
great
difficulty
finding
an
interpreter
who
could
help?
C
Do
you
think
that
there
might
be
more
use
in
the
future
of
zoom
or
you
know,
having
if
an
interpreter's,
not
here
in
in
las
vegas
or
in
reno
or
in
one
of
the
court
jurisdictions,
letting
them
help
electronically
or
try.
N
Oh,
thank
you.
Thank
you
senator
and
shawn.
I
know
how
much
dad
also
appreciated
serving
with
you.
That
is
the
hope
I
mean
really.
It
is
at
some
point.
I
think
at
this
point,
however,
we're
not
there
yet,
and
so,
when
this
commission,
or
when
the
when
people
are
able
to
give
that
advice
to
the
chief
justice
and
to
the
other
individuals,
there's
a
way
for
us
to
be
able
to
utilize
that
I
know
that
in
many
times
the
language
bank,
which
is
something
that
that
I'm
a
little
bit
more
familiar
with.
N
Based
upon
my
work
with
with
other
areas,
we
do,
we
are
able
to
utilize
the
technology,
the
zoom
in
that
fashion,
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
little
bit
more
discussion
and
trust
amongst
each
other
when
it
comes
to
the
court
cases
and
how
that
would
work
exactly.
N
I
know
that
there
are
some
court
cases
or
court
areas
that
are
very
comfortable
with
it,
and
there
are
some
that
are
not,
and
I
think
that
there
have
been
some
things
that
we
have
to
have
had
to
learn
as
a
culture
and
society
again
because
of
covet
19
washing
your
hands,
for
example,
kind
of
an
important
thing
again,
you
know
having
that
distance
again,
an
important
thing.
N
I
think
this
is
another
thing
that
we've
learned
is
that
sometimes
technology
can
help
us,
and
this
is
a
prime
example
of
it
if
you
are
and
I'm
making
this
up,
it's
important
to
know
this.
I
do
not
have
first-hand
experience
with
this,
but
let's
say
that
you
are
in
a
court
case
that
is
in
elko
and
there's
nobody
that's
able
to
speak.
Let's
just
say
portuguese.
N
How
do
you
call
then?
Do
you
call
somebody
from
the
las
vegas
area
or
from
the
reno
area
that
can
do
that,
so
we've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
to
be
able
to
start
utilizing
that
in
a
much
more
effective
manner,
and
I
think
that
this
is
the
beginning
to
be
able
to
do
so.
In
a
much
more
consistent
and
effective
manner,
that
is
again
in
one
of
the
goals.
C
D
Additional
questions
from
members
of
the
committee
okay,
seeing
none,
then
we
will
move
into
testimony
in
support
of
assembly
bill
212.,
no
one
here
in
person,
so
we
will
move
to
those
joining
us
virtually
if
you
are
here
in
support
of
assembly
bill
212.
Now
is
the
time
for
your
testimony.
So
we'll
turn
this
over
to
broadcast
production
and
pay
attention
to
the
instructions.
J
J
J
O
Good
afternoon
senate
committee
on
judiciary,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
manuel
mederos
and
I'm
the
language
access
specialist
for
the
northern
nevada
international
center,
which
assemblywoman
anderson
mentioned
before
I
provide
my
brief
comment.
I
wanted
to
thank
yet
again
our
hero
in
this
case,
which
is
assembly,
woman,
nathan,
anderson
right
in
front
of
you.
Thank
you
assemblywoman
for
all
the
efforts
that
you're
doing
and
for
your
contributions
to
language
access
in
our
state.
O
Ab212
is
a
very
straightforward
and,
in
my
own
personal
opinion
adds
even
more
even
more
diversity
to
the
committee
that
advises
the
court
administrator,
in
particular
for
adding
a
committee
member
that
represents
a
language
other
than
spanish.
In
addition,
ab212
allows
the
committee
to
highlight
their
accomplishments
annually
and
feature
them
in
a
public
report.
O
Such
report
would
spotlight
the
important
contributions
and
committee's
commitment
to
the
profession
of
interpretation,
language
access
and
our
limited
english
proficiency
lep
individuals
in
our
state
as
assembly
woman
mentioned
anderson
mentioned,
there
are
many
gaps
and
many
unknowns
about
the
services
that
leps
receive
in
our
state,
especially
in
our
court
in
our
courts.
This
report
that
we're
specifically
talking
about
would
assist
in
getting
that
important
data
so
that
we
can
all
study
it
and
come
together
to
find
solutions
to
address
any
issues
and
address
any
gaps.
O
You
know,
the
state
of
nevada
is
very
fortunate
to
have
a
court
court
interpreters
which
are
trained
professionals,
which
somebody
one
of
your
committee
members
mentioned
that
go
through
vigorous
process
to
become
fully
certified
in
this
state.
They
require
to
do
many
continued
education
credits,
many
of
them
and
and
to
keep
their
professionalism
afloat.
They
have
to
go
through
a
vigorous,
vigorous
process.
All
these
professionals
love
the
art
of
interpreting
better,
yet
they
care
and
protect
and
love
their
profession.
O
So
much
a
court
interpreter
needs
to
possess
not
only
a
deep
understanding
of
the
languages
in
which
they
specialize,
but
also
a
high
level
of
knowledge
about
the
justice
system
and
criminal
procedures
and
legal
ethics.
It
is
essential
that
the
court
interpreters
remain
impartial
and
interpret
what
is
being
said
precisely
without
allowing
their
own
personal
prejudices
or
values
to
seep
in
so
today
I
celebrate
the
contributions
of
all
state
interpreters
of
the
state
of
nevada,
because
they
do
such
an
amazing
job
day
in
day
out.
O
In
closing,
I
would
like
to
thank
this
body
for
hearing
ab212.
I
would
like
you
to
please
support
this
very
important
ad212
bill.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
in
front
of
you
and
for
allowing
me
to
spotlight
the
profession
of
interpretation
in
our
state.
We
should
all
be
proud
of
that.
Thank
you.
So
much.
J
J
J
P
P
Kb
212
will
add
these
important
voices
to
the
language
aspect
committee.
In
addition,
the
publication
of
an
annual
report
will
provide
the
data
upon
which
the
legislatures
can
make
decisions
in
the
future
regarding
the
provision
of
interpretation
services
in
developing,
thus
ensuring
that
the
use
of
valuable
resources
it's
effectively
allocated
to
where
it
is
most
needed.
I
thank
you
for
your
attention
and
I
hope
that
you
will
vote
in
favor
of
ab212.

O
Good
afternoon,
madame
vice
chair
and
members

my
name

john
mccormick,
john
mcc
ormick,
I'm
the
assistant
court
administrator
at
the
nevada
supreme
court,
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
and
say
that
we're
neutral
on
the
policy
question
of
this
bill
and
we
appreciate
working
with
the
sponsor
on
the
assembly
side
to
alleviate
our
concerns
by
amendment.
So
thank
you
very
much.
J

Thank
you
assemblywoman.
It

item

public
comment.
We

turn

well,

go
to
public
comment.
D
We

see
anybody

person

Q
Ian
marie
grant
a-n-n-e-m-a-r-I-e
g-r-a-n-t
sister
of
thomas
purdy,
who
was
38
years
old
when
he
had
a
mental
health
crisis
at
the
peppermill
casino.
He
was
then
hog
tied
by
reno
police
for
over
40
minutes,
dumped
up
at
the
jail
still
hog
tied
and
then
asphyxiated,
while
still
hog
tied
by
the
deputies.
Q
This
week
has
been
emotional,
with
the
huge
support,
publicity
and
media
attention
that
the
murder
of
george
floyd
received.
I
expected
to
see
the
guilty
verdict
in
derek
charvin's
trial.
My
immediate
reaction
to
the
news
is
that
we
need
to
see
an
appropriate
sentence
given
and
honored,
or
it's
all
been
for
nothing.
This
has
been
a
common
occurrence
in
the
rare
instances
where
a
police
officer
is
charged
which
never
happens
in
nevada
to
myself
and
other
impacted
families.
Q
Q
Also,
being
I
can't
breathe,
they're
going
to
kill
me,
our
family
wants
my
brother's
homicide
case
reopened.
We
are
confident
that
an
unbiased
investigation,
dedicated
to
the
facts,
will
prove
our
stance.
Washoe,
county
district
attorney
d.a
chris
hicks,
is
the
only
one
who
has
the
power
to
do
this
unless
a
higher
authority
steps
in
none
of
the
jailed
asphyxiation
deaths,
justin,
thompson,
nico
smith
or
my
brother,
thomas
purdy,
were
ever
reviewed
by
d.a
chris
hicks.
Please
support
bills
that
promote
transparency
and
accountability
from
law
enforcement.
