welcome
everyone
to
first
meeting

and
elections.
I'm
very

to
have
the

to
serve
once
again
as
chairperson
for

look
forward
to

proceed
on
to
the
agenda
items,
I
want
to
briefly
explain
how
these
virtual

will
work.
A
A
The

A
A
We
are

a
few
returning
members
to
the
committee
and
to
new
members
we'll
just
briefly,
let
all
the
members
introduce
themselves
and
we
can
start
with
our
majority
leader
who
actually
chaired
this
committee
in
the
past,
and
I
constantly
try
to
live
up
to
the
example.
You
said,
as
a
former
chair
of
this
committee
and
thrilled
to
get
to
serve
with
you
again
on
this
committee
majority
leader.
B
No
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
it's
great
to
be
here
with
you,
and
I
am
just
so
excited
for
this
session
and
the
wonderful
job
you're
going
to
do.
I'm
thrilled
to
be
here
again
with
some
of
my
favorite
people
to
work
with
on
this
committee.
As
a
chair
I
mentioned,
I
was
the
chair
of
this
committee
in
2017
and
briefly
served
for
a
short
period
of
time
last
session,
as
as
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee
before
needing
to
take
on
some
additional
responsibilities.
B
So
I'm
excited
to
be
back
learning
about
elections,
which
I
always
find
to
be
an
eating,
interesting
and
boundless
amount
of
fun
this
session.
So
thank
you
for
having
me.
A
Well,
we're
very
lucky
to
have
you
back,
and
I
appreciate
all
your
help
last
time,
because
your
expertise
in
this
area
has
not
gotten
any
less,
and
I
appreciate
your
help
on
a
lot
of
the
bills.
Senator
lang,
one
of
our
freshmen
on
the
committee.
B
A
Well,
we
are
very
we're
very
lucky
to
have
you
glad
to
have
you
and
glad
that
we
got
to
have
you
on
this
committee
for
your
freshman
session.
B
B
Thank
you,
chair
orange
hall,
I'm
very
pleased
to
serve
on
this
committee.
Again.
I
spent
three
sessions
in
the
assembly
on
a
committee
like
this,
and
then
I've
served
a
couple
times
for
this
body
and
I
look
forward
to
the
work
it's
very
important
work
and
I
appreciate
your
leadership
again
on
this
committee
and
also
our
staff.
We've
got
a
great
staff
who
helps
with
as
we
navigate
the
various
bills.
Thank
you.
B
A
Well,
we
really
look
forward
to
you
being
on
this
committee
and
thank
you
for
for
all
your
all.
Your
input
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
this
committee
and
I
remember
james
orange-
represents
state
senate
district
21
again
I
was
very
lucky
to
get
to
serve
on
this
committee
and
chair
it
last
session.
It's
companion
committee
in
the
assembly.
I
was
lucky
to
serve
on
that
committee
when
I
represented
assembly
district
12
in
the
assembly.
A
I
was
able
to
chair
that
committee
in
the
assembly
as
well
and
really
thought
we
worked
on
some
excellent
legislation
there
and
over
here,
and
I'm
really
proud
of
the
work
we
were
all
able
to
come
together
and
and
accomplish.
I
think
it's
you
know.
I
think
my
philosophy
on
committee
chairing
is:
we
should
have
an
environment
of
professionalism
and
fairness.
A
You
know
treat
treat
everyone
with
the
same
courtesy
that
we
would
hope.
We'd
be
treated
with
I'm
open
to
all
ideas.
I
think
it's
really.
You
know
great
forum
and
a
laboratory
for
ideas
on
how
to
make
our
processes
better
here
in
nevada
and
we're
lucky
to
have
some
great
experts
who
will
be
presenting
and
testifying
in
the
in
the
future,
on
some
of
these
very,
very
important
and
key
issues
that
affect
our
constituents.
So
if
there's
any
any
ideas,
anyone
has
on
the
legislation
any
anything.
A
A
B
C
A
B
A
Well,

thrilled
to
have
you

thank
you

will

for
for
various
other
committees,
including
the

If
there's
any
questions,

trouble
getting
the
answers
to
in
committee.
We've
got
such
a
great
great
legal
mind
here
to
help
us
stephen
jameson
from
the
research
police,
research,
poli
research
division,
our
policy
analyst.
B
Hey
so
I'm
stephen
jameson,
this
is
actually
my
second
session.
I
was
a
committee
secretary
for
the
education
committee
last
session
and
now
I'm
happy
to
work
in
this
new
role
with
lcb
and
help
michael
to
to
keep
the
the
wheels
rolling.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
We
appreciate
your
help
and
director
stewart
who
I
can't
say
enough
about.
It's
been
such
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
on
this
committee
last
session,
and
then
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
director
stuart
during
interim
when
senator
debbie
smith
and
had,
and
I've
worked
with
her
on
an
interim
committee
on
recycling
and
and
just
we
are
very
lucky
to
have
you
director,
stuart
in
this
committee,.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,
I'm
the
I'm
michael
stewart,
I'm
the
research
director
with
the
research
division
and
I've
worked
with
a
lot
of
you
over
the
years,
I'm
going
on
my
25th
year
at
lcb,
27
years
in
state
service.
Actually,
before
I
came
to
lcb,
I
actually
worked
in
the
elections
division
at
the
secretary
of
state's
office
back
in
94
through
96.,
I
came
over
to
lcb
and
over
the
years
I've
staffed
a
number
of
committees,
but
I've
always
kind
of
landed
in
ultimately
back
in
elections.
C
So
I
did
assembly
elections,
procedures
and
ethics
in
1999
and
2001
elections,
issues
and
senate
government
affairs
when
it
was
over
in
that
jurisdictions
in
2003,
lead
jobs
in
o5
and
then
again,
ledge
ops
in
15,
17
and
19.
so
anyway.
So
it's
great
to
be
back
again
for
one
more
session
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
serving
as
a
committee
policy
analyst
and
certainly
very
excited
to
be
a
resource
for
all
of
you
as
we
go
through
this
session.
So
thank
you.
A
Well,
we're
very
lucky
to
have
you
and
your
knowledge
of
nevada.
Election
law
is
just
tremendous,
so
we're
very
lucky
to
have
you
on
our
committee
director,
I'd
like
to
move
on
now
to
a
few
housekeeping
items
to
cover
for
members
and
for
those
who
are
listening
online
and
who
will
be
participating
in
future
meetings.
A
The
senate
committee
on
legislative
operations
and
elections
is
scheduled
to
meet
at
3
30
on
tuesdays
and
thursdays.
This
session,
our
companion
committee
and
the
assembly,
the
assembly
committee
on
legislative
operations
and
elections
also
meets
on
tuesdays
and
thursdays
at
about
the
same
time,
starting
at
four.
I
believe
over
there,
the
assembly
legislative
operations
and
elections,
chairperson,
assemblyman
brittany
miller
and
I
plan
to
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity
to
try
and
hold
some
joint
meetings
during
this
session,
especially
the
next
few
weeks.
A
As
we
hear
presentations
from
various
agencies
and
groups,
please
note
that
when
we
do
have
joint
hearings,
our
stocks,
our
start
time,
will
be
4
pm.
While
you
know
we
are
endeavored
to
try
to
start
on
time.
Please
know
that
we
have
committee
members
who
sit
on
both
the
judiciary
committee
and
the
committee
on
revenue
and
economic
development
which
meet
before
our
committee.
We
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
we
have
all
our
committee
members
present
before
we
start
each
meeting.
A
However,
sometimes
it
may
not
be
possible,
we
may
have
to
start
as
long
as
we
have
a
quorum
waiting
for
another
member
to
arrive.
Please
note
that,
in
addition
to
election
matters,
our
committee
handles
issues
related
to
legislative
business,
things
like
interim
studies,
functions
of
the
legislature
and
the
operations
of
the
legislative
council
bureau.
A
These
types
of
bills
are
exempt
from
house
committee,
passage
deadlines.
As
a
result,
our
committee
may
be
busier
than
other
policy
committees
following
bill
passage,
deadlines
for
non-exempt
bills
for
those
listening
at
home
throughout
the
session.
If
you
wish
to
testify,
please
refer
to
the
committee
agenda
for
guidance
on
your
participation.
A
A
When
speaking,
please
remember
to
unmute
your
microphone
on
your
computer
and
clearly
state
your
name
and
if
you
represent
a
group
or
an
organization,
please
let
us
know
who
you
represent
at
the
beginning
of
your
testimony.
If
you
are
part
of
a
group
testifying,
please
repeat
your
name
each
time
you
speak.
So
the
secretary
can
accurately
record
your
remarks
for
the
minutes
to
try
and
avoid
audio
feedback.
A
Please
make
sure
to
mute
your
microphone
each
time
after
you
finish
speaking
cell
phone
usage
during
committee
as
a
courtesy
to
committee
members
and
to
our
broadcast
staff
and
on
the
committee
staff
who
are
trying
to
you
know,
prepare
minutes.
Please
turn
off
your
cell
phone
or
set
it
to
silent
during
the
hearing.
A
As
noted
on
our
agendas,
as
you
know,
we
use
the
nevada
electronic
legislative
information
system
also
called
nellis,
which
allows
us
to
upload
exhibits
such
as
testimony
and
handouts,
and
amendments
ahead
of
time.
The
purpose
of
the
nellis
system
is
to
allow
committee
members
and
interested
persons
to
view
the
bill
and
its
accompanying
documentation
online
and
in
real
time
as
the
bill
is
being
discussed.
A
Legislators
no
longer
have
large
bill
books
at
their
desks
or
on
the
senate
floor.
We
request
that
any
handouts
you
wish
to
provide
regarding
a
bill
be
supplied
to
the
committee
staff
or
committee
manager
or
committee
secretary
the
day
before
the
hearing,
so
they
can
be
uploaded
to
nellis.
We
need
those
handouts
documents
in
electronic
format.
A
Please
see
the
committee
agendas
for
specific
instructions,
as
in
the
past,
any
person
proposing
an
amendment
to
a
bill
being
heard
by
the
committee
must
submit
the
proposed
amendment
electronically
in
writing
and
include
a
statement
of
intent
for
the
amendment.
The
proposal
must
also
include
the
appropriate
name
and
contact
number
of
that
person.
A
A
As
chair,
we
may
ask
certain
persons
to
offer
clarification
comments
and
suggestions
during
the
work
session,
if
feel
that's
needed.
That
covers
the
general
housekeeping
announcements.
Now,
I'd
like
to
continue
with
the
adoption
of
our
committee
rules
members,
the
committee
rules
have
been
uploaded
to
nellis.
A
Those
rules
are
standard
and
are
very
similar
to
rules
approved
in
other
standing
committees.
They
serve
to
complement
the
senate
standing
rules
and
the
joint
standing
rules
that
we
adopted
yesterday
on
the
senate
floor,
I
would
note
that
these
rules
are
very
nearly
identical
to
those
approved
by
this
committee
in
20
in
in
the
2019
session.
A
A
B
B
A
B
A
A
Mr
chair,
yes,
mr
stewart,
would
you
like
to
take
a
roll
call
vote
as
well.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
I
think
because
of
the
remote
situation
we've
been,
we've
been
moving
to
all
actions,
even
even
those
votes
that
might
seem
a
little
routine,
such
as
committee
roles
and
as
we
get
further
into
session
about
the
you
know,
approval
of
bill
draft
request,
introductions
and
that
sort
of
thing,
because
we're
on
a
virtual
setting,
we
will
have
to
take
a
roll
call
vote
for
all
of
those
actions.
C
D
B
B
C
A
Director
and
now
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
presentation
of
our
our
committee,
brief
by
our
our
committee
policy.
Analyst
michael
stewart,
who
is
the
director
of
the
lcb
research
division
and
we're
very
lucky
to
let
you
prepare
this
and
thank
you
for
going
over
it
director
stewart.
C
The
purpose
of
the
committee
brief
is
really
to
just
sort
of
summarize
the
topics
that
the
committee
is
going
to
handle
this
session
and
discuss
bill
statistics
and
highlight
kind
of
what
we
expect
to
see
over
the
next
several
months
included
in
the
committee.
Brief
is
our
list
of
staff
and
you've
met
all
of
those
all
of
those
folks
today,
so
really
quickly.
C
In
addition,
measures
following
regarding
issues
such
as
legislative
business
of
the
lcb
proposed
amendments
to
the
constitution
and
certain
resolutions
expect
expressing
the
opinion
of
the
legislature
urging
action
by
the
united
states
congress.
Those
are
also
typical
issues
that
this
committee
handles
with
regard
to
elections
issues
we
often
handle
issues
such
as
campaign
finance,
the
uniform
law,
commission,
constitutional
amendments,
elections,
ethics
and
government,
the
initiative
and
referendum
process,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
nevada
legislative
process
in
the
legislature,
we
also
have
jurisdiction
over
state
personnel,
state,
printing
and
statutory
revision.
C
I
would
note
that
these
all
fall
into
several
a
few
different
titles
of
the
nrs.
That's
the
legislative
department
in
title
17.,
public
officers
and
employees
in
in
title
23.
We
only
have
we
have
jurisdiction
over
about
a
portion
of
title
23..
C
The
senate
committee
on
government
affairs
has
the
remaining
jurisdiction
over
that
over
that
title
23..
Our
our
committee
handles
all
of
title
24
relating
to
elections
and
then
also
since
the
state
printing
office
is
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
legislative
council
bureau.
This
committee
does
have
jurisdiction
over
title
29
of
the
nrs,
as
the
chair
pointed
out,
because
many
of
the
committee's
bills
do
relate
to
interim
studies
or
other
legislative
matters.
C
They
are
exempt
from
the
deadlines.
Those
bills
relating
to
legislative
business
are
exempt
from
the
deadlines
under
the
legislative
business
exemption.
So
for
that
reason,
as
the
chair
pointed
out,
this
committee
does
tend
to
get
a
few
more
bills
after
these
deadlines,
as
they
process
legislative
business
matters
and
interim
studies
towards
the
end
of
session.
C
C
We
did
cover
a
lot
of
issues,
and
so
I
expect
some
of
those
will
come
back
for
this
session
to
include,
as
I
mentioned
before,
interim
studies,
the
functions
and
operations
of
the
legislature
and
then
a
number
of
elections,
issues
to
include
absentee
ballots
campaign
practices,
specifically
the
personal
use
of
campaign
funds,
city
elections.
You
recall
that
the
schedule
for
city
elections
was
adjusted
last
session.
C
C
The
senate
legislative
operations
and
elections
committee
approved
two
constitutional
amendments
which,
for
their
first
go
around
constitutional
amendments,
must
be
in
joint
resolution
must
be
approved
in
identical
form
in
two
successive
legislative
sessions.
So
last
session,
this
committee
approved
ajr
10
relating
to
minimum
wage,
and
the
legislature
also
approved
sjr
8
regarding
equal
rights.
Sgr
8
has
already
been
referred
to
this
committee,
for
I
guess
the
second
session
the
second
go
around
for
that
joint
resolution.
C
Most
of
these
joint,
the
joint
resolutions
that
amend
the
nevada
constitution,
eventually,
if
they're
approved
by
the
legislature
in
identical
form
and
two
sessions
eventually
do
become
ballot
questions.
So
there's
a
section
in
that
in
the
committee
brief,
I
won't
go
through
them
of
the
four
ballot
questions
that
were
approved
by
the
legislature
last
session
and
appeared
on
the
ballot
in
2020
in
november,
and
three
of
the
four
of
those
did
pass.
C
As
you
probably
heard
yesterday
in
the
veto
message,
some
of
the
veto
messages,
the
governor
did
veto
three
bills.
One
of
those
did
have
to
do
with
elections.
It
was
ab186
so
and
the
other
one
actually
did
create
a
proposed
to
create
a
study,
a
legislative
committee
on
tax
and
expenditures
and
incentives
for
economic
development.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
currently,
the
committee
has
five
pre-filed
bills
and
most
of
those
a
few
of
those
relate
to
state
employees
in
title
23,
we
have
a
city
charter
bill
from
the
city
of
sparks
relating
to
their
elections,
operations,
a
bill
from
the
interim
study
and
reapportionment
and
redistricting,
which
I'll
touch
on
in
a
minute
as
well
as
sgr,
eight
with
which
I
just
mentioned.
C
Looking
at
the
bill
draft
request
list
for
this
session,
it's
looking
like
we're
gonna
hear
a
lot
several
issues.
What
we're
seeing
right
now,
just
on
the
bdr
list,
based
on
you,
know
the
short
descriptions
that
we
can
see
publicly
looking
at
some
voter
registration,
presidential
preference,
primary
elections,
some
general
elections
issues
generally,
such
as
campaign
finance
and
polling,
place,
accessibility,
election
security
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
also
an
ethics
bill.
The
ethics
bill.
C
This
session
is
starting
in
the
assembly
and
that's
going
to
be
assembly
bill
65
and
this
thursday
afternoon
and
joint
committee
we're
going
to
be
hearing
a
presentation
from
the
commission
on
ethics
and
they'll
touch
a
little
bit
about
their
operations
and
they'll,
maybe
highlight
just
the
the
larger
portions
of
ab65,
obviously
not
a
bill
hearing,
but
they'll
kind
of
highlight
what
they're
they're.
Looking
for
in
legislation
this
session.
C
I
did
want
to
point
out
the
legislative
calendar
just
so
this
committee
and
those
who,
listening
at
home
kind
of
understand
the
importance
of
you
know
following
the
calendar,
and
so
as
committee
members.
You
are
really
familiar
with
the
workload
from
a
committee
standpoint.
C
Our
committee
passes
deadline
is
april,
9th
and
april
9th
for
those
of
us
who
staff
committees
and
those
of
you
who
sit
on
committees,
that's
sort
of
the
the
big
deadline
for
us
as
committee
members
right,
that
is,
a
committee
passes
deadline.
It
almost
is
always
the
second
friday
in
april,
and
so
when
you
we
get
all
of
our
all
of
our
most
of
our
bills
are
actually
referred
to
committees
by
on
or
around
march
20th.
This
session,
it's
march
22nd.
C
So
from
about
march
22nd
to
april
9th
you'll,
see
all
the
committees
really
scrambling
to
make
sure
that
they
get
all
their
business
covered
in
that
sort
of
three
and
a
half
week
period
as
they
really
sort
of
ratchet
up
to
the
april.
9Th
committee
passes
deadline
so
just
be
on
the
lookout
for
that
as
you're
sitting
in
committees
and
and
watching
the
bill
load
and
your
in
your
business
just
increase
tremendously
and
your
time,
all
of
a
sudden,
not
really
being
your
own.
C
So
we
go
through
that
whole
process
again,
and
I
would
point
out
that
the
second
house
passion
deadline
is
may
14th
again,
that's
a
friday
in
in
may
and
again
we'll
be
sort
of
I'm
gearing
up
for
that
date
too,
as
we
process
bills.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
just
briefly
about
reapportionment
and
redistricting
so-
and
this
is
gonna-
be
a
little
bit
different
this
this
session,
I
think
so,
every
10
years
immediately
following
the
census,
the
legislature
is
required
to
redraw
the
lines
and
boundaries
for
the
u.s
house
of
representatives,
the
nevada
state
assembly
and
nevada
state
senate
and
the
board
of
regents
for
the
universe
for
the
system
of
higher
education,
and
this
is
all
done
using
data,
that's
generated
by
the
census
bureau
and
typically
the
assembly
and
senate
committees
on
legislative
operations
do
have
jurisdiction
over
that
activity.
C
And
so,
during
the
interim,
the
committee
or
the
the
legislative
commission,
pursuant
to
senate
concurrent
resolution,
number
nine
from
last
session
appointed
a
study
to
study,
reapportionment
and
redistricting
procedures,
and
this
resolution
was
similar
to
other
resolutions
that
have
been
passed
and
that
have
been
approved
in
the
past.
C
To
include
studies
approved
in
1989,
1990
and
2009
and
again
these
are
studies
that
are
held
every
10
years
in
advance
of
the
redistricting
session
to
prepare
for
the
redistricting
exercise,
and
I
would
call
it
sort
of
setting
the
stage
for
redistricting
efforts
in
2021.,
so
lots
of
maybe
just
four
very
great
meetings.
C
I
was
I'm
honored
to
be
the
committee
policy
analyst
for
that
committee
and
the
recommendations
were
to
include
purchasing
gis
software
and
hardware
and
then
also
hire
session,
hire
technical
staff
to
support
each
caucus,
selecting
an
elections
database
to
assist
in
the
redistricting
process,
making
recommendations
for
joint
rules
for
reenforcement
and
redistricting
and
adjusting
the
maximum
size
of
election
precincts,
and
that
is
one
of
the
pre-filed
bills
we
have
in
this
committee.
C
If
you're
interested
in
redistricting
issues,
we
have
a
very
robust,
reapportionment
and
redistricting
page,
and
you
can
link
to
that
right
below
the
picture
of
the
legislative
building
on
our
home
page
of
the
nevada
state
legislature.
There's
a
banner,
it
says:
2021
reinforcement
redistricting.
If
you
click
on
that,
you
will
have
all
you
all.
You
ever
want
to
know
about
reapportionary
districting
right
off
that
link
and
I'm
really
really
pleased
that
our
gis
staff
has
put
that
together.
C
So
the
one
thing
everybody's
wondering
about
with
regard
to
redistricting
is
the
impact
of
the
census,
data
delivery
and
those
delays.
I'm
sure
you
all
have
heard
about
it,
and
you
know
the
covid
crisis
and
pandemic
has
caused
delays
in
the
operations
of
the
census
during
2020
and
just
last
week
we
heard
an
update
from
the
u.s
census
bureau
and
they
notified
the
states
that
the
apportionment
data
will
be
available
to
the
states
by
the
end
of
april.
C
C
C
So
what
that
means
is
your
lcb
staff
is
going
to
be
coordinating
with
legislative
leadership
and
others
to
sort
of
determine
how
best
to
accommodate
these
delays
and
complete
redistricting
as
soon
as
feasible
after
the
receipt
of
that
census
data.
So
what
would
normally
would
be
something
this
committee
might
have
done
during
the
21
session.
It's
going
to
probably
look
a
little
bit
different.
C
That
being
said,
we
do
feel
it's
important
for
you
to
know
about
this
process,
so
we
have
planned
to
provide
you,
some
updates
from
from
staff
on
how
this
process
works
and
we'll
be
working
with
the
chair
and
leadership,
to
figure
out
when
a
good
time
is
to
do
that
and
sort
of
update
you
on
on
redistricting
and
how
it
all
works.
So,
but
just
know
that
the
timing
is
much
different
than
it
has
been
in
the
past.
C
So,
finally,
just
to
wrap
up,
I
will
just
say
that
the
research
division
prepares
publications
on
major
policy
areas
and
and
real
and
topics
of
all
sorts
and
with
regard
to
elections,
our
office
put
out
about
four
pretty
some
detailed,
some
kind
of
high
level
elections
related
publications
concerning
election
security,
how
to
vote
in
the
nevada
elections
and
then
how
to
register
and
also
a
little
summary
about
the
canvas
of
the
vote.
C
And
I
would
note
that
the
guide
to
the
nevada
legislature
is
up
and
ready
to
go
thanks
to
our
wonderful
work
of
the
publications
unit.
It's
online
at
this
point
and
we
hope
to
have
it
in
print
version
as
soon
as
we
finalize
the
new
appointed
legislators
who
we
heard
about
just
today,
so
we'll
get
those
in
that
publication
and
get
that
printed
in
the
coming
weeks
and
then,
just
to
close.
C
Of
course,
all
of
that
assistance
is
handled
on
a
confidential
basis
and
just
for
your
reference
we're
all
working
from
home.
Most
of
us,
although
I'm
in
my
office
today,
but
we
do
have
people
ready
to
help
you
at
any
moment
so
just
feel
free
to
reach
out,
and
we
are
excited
to
help
you
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
again
serve
as
the
policy
analyst
for
this
committee.
C
That's
the
committee
brief
and
sorry.
I
don't
think
it
was
as
brief
as
I
had
intended,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
the
delivery
of
the
data
at
the
block
level,
the
track
and
block
level
will
be
after
july
31st.
But
when
we
go
to
work
on
that,
does
it
take
a
month
or
how
long
does
it
usually
take
for
us
to
upload
it?
I
know
we
bought
software,
especially
for
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
quick
process
or
if
that's
takes
a
month,
long
to
just
sort
of
prep
data
so
that
we
can
begin
work
on
it.
C
Right,
thank
you.
Senator
cancer
for
the
record,
michael
stewart.
It's
an
excellent
question.
So,
last
10
years
ago,
when
we
received
the
data
we
received,
we
requested
an
early
release
and
received
it
on
or
around
february
28th,
and
our
gis
team
can
turn
around
and
input
that
data
pretty
quickly
into
the
system,
and
we
basically
can
have
everything
essentially
ready
to
go.
C
C
This
time
around
is
something
called
inmate
or
prisoner
reallocation
for
those
of
you
who
run
this
committee
last
session,
you
recall
that
the
legislature
approved
assembly
bill
450,
which
requires
inmates
who
are
incarcerated
in
nevada
to
be
actually
counted
at
their
last
known,
residential
address
and
so
we're.
That
is
a
step
that
we
didn't
have
to
do
10
years
ago
and
so
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
can
be
ready
to
go
and
what
they
call
geocode.
C
Those
addresses
into
the
data
set
the
moment
we
receive
it
so
senator
that
might
take
a
few
days.
I
think,
but
we
know
that
there
are
apps
out
there
in
the
gis
software
to
help
with
that.
So
we
hope
that
those
addresses
can
be
inputted
and
those
inmates
can
be
assigned
appropriately
in
short
order,
but
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
a
gis
team,
but
short
answer.
I'd
say
a
few
days
to
a
week.
I
think
we
could
get
everything
ready
to
go.
B
It
seems
like
there's
a
process
to
do
maps
and
redo
maps
and
to
really
analyze
the
information,
so
I
would
imagine
that
takes
a
while
after
we
get
it
uploaded
too
and
then,
as
far
as
the
the
prison
data
at
this
point
time,
we
probably
know
all
their
last
addresses.
So
is
it
just
matching
it
to
the
new
precincts
new
tracks
and
precincts.
C
Right,
we've
actually
had
a
couple
meetings
right
now
with
the
state
demographer
to
to
sort
of
figure
out
how
that's
going
to
work
in
the
department
of
corrections.
C
The
department
of
correction
does
have
sort
of
an
address
database
that
they
they
use
when
they
intake
the
prisoner,
and
so
we
actually
think
we'll
have
a
lot
of
that
ready
to
go
early.
C
So
I
don't,
I
don't
think
it'll
be
too
much
of
a
process
so
that
ab450
really
allocates
that
duty
to
the
state
demographer,
but
the
state
demographer
doesn't
have
the
gis
team
that
we
have.
So
that's
why
we're
kind
of
going
and
coordinating
with
the
state,
demographer
and
department
of
corrections.
C
A
Thank
you
director.
One
question
I
had
during
the
redistricting
in
2011.
I
recall
that
lcb
had
set
up
these
interactive
kiosks
here
in
carson
city
and
also
at
the
grant
sawyer
building,
where
the
public
could
kind
of
work
with
the
the
gis
data
and
look
at
maps
and
look
at
numbers.
Is
that
something
you
think
will
be
available
during
this
redistricting?
Or
will
it
be
all
online
or
I
just
wondered
about
that.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
again,
michael
stewart
for
the
record,
so
the
interim
study
on
reinforcement
redistricting
actually
approved
the
purchase
of
software
and
hardware
to
establish
two
public
workstations,
one
in
the
legislative
building
and
one
in
the
grant
solar
state
office
building
in
clark
county.
C
However,
as
you
know,
both
the
the
legislative
facilities
in
clark,
county
and
also
in
our
building
here
in
in
carson
city,
are
closed
for
the
session.
So
we're
a
little
bit
unsure
about
how
that
will
look
at
this
point
now.
If
the
legislature
tackles
reapportionment
registering
at
a
later
time,
we
will
be
ready
to
open
those
up
at
any
point.
Those
public
workstations.
C
The
big
difference,
though,
for
this
year
is
the
gis
software
which
we're
using
an
autobound
software
which
we've
used
for
the
last
three
elections
or
three
redistricting
cycles
now
has
a
online
redistricting
tool.
C
C
There
is
going
to
be
some,
I
guess,
guidelines
and
policies
that
probably
do
need
to
be
in
place
because
there's
while
the
openness
and
transparency
of
that
is
is
great.
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
the
plans
that
are
submitted
do
follow
certain
guidelines
and
actually
can
be
inputted
into
our
gis
system
and
sort
of
utilized
so
because
districts
build
upon
each
other.
If
you
have
somebody
who
submits
a
plan,
for
example,
for
their
neighborhood
or
there's,
let's
say
they
submit
a
plan
just
specific
to
north
las
vegas.
C
What
happens,
though,
is
that
that
impacts
all
the
other
parts
of
the
of
the
state
and
all
the
other
parts
of
the
districts?
So
one
thing
you
have
to
consider
when
taking
in
public
plans
is
you've
got
to
have
an
entire
plan
right,
an
entire
senate
plan
or
an
entire
assembly
plan,
because
all
the
numbers
in
the
and
the
districts
build
upon
each
other.
Essentially
so
online
tool
is
probably
where
we're
going
to
have
to
go
with
a
lot
of
that.
Senator.
A
B
Hi,
chair
orenshaw,
I
have
a
couple
questions,
so
I
know
there's
a
way
to
get
public
comment
through
the
gis
and
people
submitting
maps.
Well,
we
have
public
comment
opportunities
for
people
around
the
state
and
the
second
part
of
that
question
is:
do
we
have
a
timeline
about
when
we
have
to
have
our
work
completed.
C
So
around
the
state,
so
that
will
be
under,
I
guess,
under
a
normal
session
situation
right,
this
committee
would
be
typically
required
under
rules
to
have
public
hearings,
at
least
one
public,
one
sort
of
large
public
hearing
in
the
south,
one
in
the
rural
areas
and
then
one
in
the
north.
That
was
a
in
our
rules
10
years
ago
and
also
20
years
ago.
C
Obviously
without
the
data
that
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
difficult,
so
I
don't
know
just
yet
if
this
committee
will
engage
in
some
of
those
activities.
I
think
that's
something
we'll
need
to
sort
of
work
out.
I
think,
with
legislative
leadership
to
see
where
we
want
to
kind
of
land
on
that
there
are
some,
obviously
some
procedures
and
some
preliminary
information
that
is
useful
for
everybody.
That's
available
now
right.
C
If
we
can
do
an
education
sort
of
tour,
if
you
will-
or
you
know,
put
out
a
bunch
of
educational
information
now
as
it
relates
to
redistricting
but
sort
of
where
and
when
you
want
to
do
that
without
the
census,
data,
I
think,
is
going
to
be
a
discussion,
we'll
kind
of
have
to
have
with
leadership
and
kind
of
see
where
we
land
on
how
best
to
handle
that
so
and
then
your
other
question
had
to
do
with
sort
of
a
timeline
again
with
the
census.
C
Delays
we're
looking
at
probably
doing
something
you
know.
Well,
we've
got
to
do
something
after
the
after
the
data
comes
in
after
july,
31st.
C
The
one
thing
that
the
legislature
really
needs
to
be
aware
of
is
that,
even
though
the
legislature
redraws
the
lines
sort
of
at
the
level
of
congressional
districts
and
the
legislature
and
board
of
regents,
the
local
governments
also
have
to
draw
lines
as
well
for
county
commissions,
city
councils,
school
boards,
gids
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so
those
entities
will
sort
of
be
waiting
on
the
legislature
to
sort
of
complete
their
work
before
they
can
go
in
and
redraw
theirs.
C
Because
one
thing
we
have
to
be
really
cautious
of
is
multiple
ballot
styles,
where
you
sort
of
overlay
one
map
over
top
of
another
lap
map
over
top
of
another
lap
map,
and
if
your
district
lines
are
not
coterminous,
you
end
up
with
little
pockets
right
of
ballot
styles
and
that
becomes
really
difficult
for
local
election
officials
so
to
the
extent
that
the
legislature
can
get
their
work
done
earlier
as
soon
as
possible.
Basically,
that
gives
the
locals
time
to
get
their
districts
drawn
in
time
for
the
2022
election
cycle
and
remember.
C
Candidate
filing
for
judges
starts
as
early
as
january
and
it's
in
march
for
all
other
candidates.
So
so
those
districts
do
need
to
be
sort
of
in
place
prior
to
that
election
cycle,
starting.
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
thank
you
very
much
director
and
we
are
very
lucky
that
majority
leader,
cannizzaro
and
senator
siebert's
cancer
were
both
on
that
interim
redistricting
committee.
So
we
will
turn
to
you
for
your
wealth
of
knowledge
on
these
issues
and
I
always
like
to
hope.
Maybe
that
data
would
come
to
us
a
little
earlier,
but
but
who
knows
maybe
that
it
would
be
great
if
that
happened,
we
could
try
to
work
with
get
getting
that
test
done
before
the
end
of
this
regular
session.
A
C
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
that.
I'm
sorry
that
we
don't
have
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
today.
Committee
members,
our
next
meeting
will
be
a
joint
meeting
with
the
our
companion
committee
and
the
assembly,
the
assembly
legislative
operations,
elections
committee.
It
will
be
this
thursday,
the
4th
of
february
and
include
presentations
from
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state
and
the
nevada
commission
on
ethics.
A
A
I
apologize
for
the
pause,
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
see
everybody
all
right.
Well,
there's
nothing
further!
Thank
you
to
the
staff.
Thank
you
director,
stewart
and
miss
stanley
and
everyone
else
who
work
so
hard
and
work
so
hard
throughout
the
session
to
make
this
work.
It's
a
challenge
like
we've
never
seen
before.
I
think
at
the
end
of
last
session,
no
one
could
have
imagined
the
pandemic
and
what
we're
trying
to
work
with
till
we
get
this
under
control.
A
So
thank
you
to
all
the
broadcasting
folks,
all
the
staff
on
the
committee
for
making
this
work
so
seamlessly.
With
that
we'll
close
the
hearing.
