A
Chair
peters-

I
am

looks
like
we
have
everybody

the
room
today.
All
committee
members
in
the
room
today,
which
is
great
today,
is
our
first
day
in
person
which
is
exciting,
but
also
I'm
sure
we
will
come
across
some
new
territory,
so
please
bear
with
us
while
we
work
through
any
glitches
this
morning,
although
the
building
is
officially
open
to
the
public,
there
continue
to
be
limits
on
the
building
capacity.
A
So,
in
addition
to
attending
meetings
in
person,
the
public
and
other
presenters
are
welcome
to
continue
to
participate
using
the

Mr

and
please
proceed
with
our
first
closing
for
department
of
business

the
employee
management

begins
on
page

Fiscal
staff
is
responsible
for
developing
recommendations
for
this
budget.
The
subcommittee
has
not
previously
reviewed
this
budget.
There
are
no
major
issues.
There
are
other
closing
items,
one
and
two
detailed
in
the
table.
On
page
four,
there
is
a
technical
adjustment
identified
in
other
items.

the

budget
reflects
an
increase
to
the
local
government
employer
fee
from
three
dollars
to
five
dollars
in

year
2023.
E

In
addition,
the
agency
indicates
the
reserve
levels
for
the
local
government
and
state
government
operating
splits
and
the
executive
budget
do
not
reflect
actual
reserve
levels
for
those
reserve
categories
and
fiscal
staff
represents
a
technical
adjustment
to
adjust
the
reserve
balance,
resulting
in
a
shift
of
3
489
from
the
state
reserve
category
to
the
local
government
reserve.
Category
fiscal
staff
recommends
other

The
next
budget
on
the
agenda
is
717-1363
department
of
administration,
human
resource
management
and
begins
on
page
five
of
your
packets.
There
are
two
major
closing
issues.
The
first
major
closing
issue
is
the
establishment
of
a
new
collective
bargaining
assessment.
E
The
governor
recommends
establishing
a
new
collective
bargaining
assessment,
with
an
annual
rate
of
48.77
per
fte
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
42.68
per
fte
fiscal
year,
2023
in
lieu
of
the
personnel
assessment
to
cover
costs
associated
with
the
labor
relations
units
and
to
establish
an
initial
60-day
operating
reserve.
This
recommendation
is
projected
to
generate
two
million
dollars
over
the
21-23
biennium,
currently
the
division
of
human
resource
management,
utilizes
the
personnel
assessment
to
fund
the
labor
relations
units.
E
However,
the
personnel
assessment
is
based
on
an
ftd
count
of
all
employees
in
cheer,
including
employees
that
are
not
classified
into
a
bargaining
unit.
By
establishing
a
new
collective
bargaining
assessment
funding,
the
labor
relations
units
would
be
assess
the
agency's
best
based
on
ftp
accounts
of
employees,
who
are
classified
into
a
bargaining
unit
as
background
the
labor
relations
unit
was
established
during
the
interim
at
the
february
2020
ifc
meeting
to
provide
services
to
agencies
and
employees
throughout
the
state
regarding
labor
relations
and
collective
bargaining.
E
The
table
on
page
six
provides
a
breakdown
of
the
operating
costs
for
the
labor
relations
units
over
the
2123
biennium,
the
agency
reports.
Nineteen
thousand
ten
authorized
state
positions
fall
into
the
bargaining
units
of
which
seven
of
the
eleven
bargaining
units
have
exclusive
representation
and
three
thousand
nine
hundred.
Ninety
four
authorized
state
positions
do
not
meet
the
classification
requirements
or
bargaining
union
as
detailed
in
the
table
on
the
top
of
page
seven.
E
The
table
on
the
bottom
of
page
seven
details
the
current
structure
prior
to
the
new
assessments.
Where
you
will
see
this
budget
would
be
funded
with
personnel
and
payroll
assessments,
if
not
approved,
and
the
impacts
the
rates
in
the
four
right
columns
of
the
table.
If
the
new
collective
bargaining
assessment
is
approved,
fiscal
staff
would
note
if
the
collective
bargaining
assessment
is
not
approved.
Funding
for
the
labor
relations
unit
will
continue
to
be
provided
through
the
personnel
assessments.
E
During
the
february
26
2021
budget
hearing,
the
subcommittee
questioned
the
benefits
of
moving
the
funding
for
the
labor
relations
unit
from
the
personnel
assessments
to
the
collective
bargaining
assessment.
In
response,
the
agency
indicated
the
decision
unit
is
revenue
neutral
or
there
is
an
equivalent
decrease
in
the
personnel
assessment
to
the
amounts
anticipated
to
be
received
through
the
collective,
effective
bargaining
assessment
in.
E
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
this
may
have
been
answered
before
and
it's
just
for
my
clarification.
So
under
this
new
under
this
new
assessment
process,
are
the
exempt
or
are
we
taking
out
the
exempt
employees?
B
E
Yes,
that
would
be
correct,
so
the
personnel
assessment
as
a
perfect
include
those
positions
charge.
What
this
would
do
when
we
assess
the
charge
for
the
labor
relationship
unit
for
positions
that
qualify
for
a
correct
argument.
F
A
I
second,
madam
chair,
thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
and
a
second
from
vice
chair
howdy.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
seeing
none?
I
would
take
a
voice
vote
all
in
favor,
say
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
no,
opposition
that
that
motion
passes
unanimously.
Please
continue
with
the
next
decision
unit.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
james
malone,
also
be
fiscal
for
the
record
now.
The
second
major
issue
which
begins
in
the
middle
of
page
8.,
the
governor,
recommends
the
elimination
of
a
vacant
administrative
assistant,
one
position
in
las
vegas,
resulting
in
an
increase
of
113
575
in
reserves
over
the
20
21
23,
biannual
according.
H
E
E
In
addition,
fiscal
staff
would
know
the
administrative
assistant
position
was
included
in
the
motion
to
preliminarily
restore
positions
recommended
for
elimination
or
held
vacants
utilizing
american
rescue
plan
ad
funds
during
the
april
1
2021
joint
meeting
of
the
senate
committee
on
finance
and
the
assembly
committee
on
ways
and
means.
However,
it
was
determined
this
position
was
recommended
for
elimination
for
reasons
other
than
budget
reductions
and
as
such,
the
subcommittee
may
wish
to
recommend
to
the
joint
full
committee
that
it
reconsidered
its
original
motion
to
restore
the
position.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
moved
to
approve
the
elimination
of
a
vacant
administrative
assistant
position
in
las
vegas
and
a
move
that
we
recommend
to
the
joint
full
committee
that
reconsider
its
original
motion
to
restore
this
position.

A
Second,
the
motion:
I

from
senator
brooks
in
a
second
from
vice
chair
of
hautegee.
Is

I
would
take

and
I
just
want
to

meeting.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
walking
us
through
that
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
decision
unit.
E
F
A
E
I
will
pause
following
my
presentation
of
each
budget
to
a
lack
of
questions
when
I
have
presented
the
last
budget
in
this
group
and
questions
have
been
addressed.
The
chair
may
wish
to
ask
for
a
single
motion
proposing
consideration
on
all
the
budgets
for
which
fiscal
staff
is
responsible
for
developing
recommendations.

The

I

by
well.
I

The
next
budget
in
your
packet
is
the
department
of
administration
director's
office
that
begins
on
page
19
of
your
packet.
It
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
february
26th.
There
is
one
major
closing
issue
in
this
budget.
It
is
the
nevada
commission
for
women
position
its
decision
units
e225
in
e805.
C
The
department
also
stated
that
the
director's
office
needs
additional
administrative
support,
since
it
only
has
an
executive
assistant
to
support
the
director
and
the
deputy
and
the
reclassification
of
the
position
would
provide
the
additional
assistance
needed.
The
department
approached
the
interim
finance
committee
on
april
1st
to
request
that
the
physician
reclassification
occur
in
fiscal
year
2021,
since
the
ongoing
statutory
need
for
to
perform
the
administrative
duties
was
creating
a
hardship
and
inefficiencies
that
could
not
wait
the
additional
time
required
for
approval
through
the
legislative
session.
This
position
has
been
vacant
since
november
2020..

Thank
you,

record.

There
are
two
other
closing
items
in
this

that
appear
reasonable
to

Fiscal

recommends
the
other
closing
items
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make

adjustments
as
necessary.
A
F
Thank
you

I
move
to
recommend
the
class
reclassification
of
a

changes
in

and
consistent
with
the
actions
of

corresponding
change

G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
good
morning
for
the
record
jamery
mangoba
from
the
fiscal
analysis,
division
and
I'm
here
to
present
the
budget
closing
recommendation
for
the
department
of
taxation,
starting
on
page
37
of
your
packet.
This
budget
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
february,
26
2021.,
there's
only
one
major
closing
issue
and
there's
some
measures
to
generate
general
fund
savings,
which
include
three
recommendations
to
increase
fees,
two
of
which
requires
legislation
to
effectuate
the
recommendations.
G
The
first
recommendation:
the
executive
budget,
recommends
an
increase
in
license
fees
for
cigarette
and
other
tobacco
products.
Wholesale
and
retail
dealers
of
514
894
over
the
2021-23
biennium,
with
a
corresponding
decrease
in
general
fund
appropriations
budget.
Amendment
82144
52361,
has
been
submitted
by
the
governor's
finance
office
to
correct
this
technical
error
in
the
executive
budget
to
clarify
that
the
recommended
revenue
increase
is
from
cigarette
tax,
administrative
fees
and
not
licensing
fees.
G
G
The
department
indicates
the
administrative
cost
to
collect.
Cigarette
tax
has
not
been
reviewed
for
over
five
years,
the
agency
conducted
an
internal
desk
audit
to
determine
the
true
cost
to
administer
the
cigarette
tax,
which
is
reflected
in
the
budget
amendment
if
the
governor's
recommendationism
as
amended,
is
approved.
Cigarette
tax
administrative
fees
would
total
five
hundred
ninety
six
thousand
five
hundred
two
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
two
and
six
hundred
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
ten
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
B
So
in
when
we're,
when
we're
increasing
a
fee
on
certain
taxes,
is
that
required
through
legislation,
or
can
we
just
do
it
right
here?
Is
that
is
that
how
it
works,
I
don't
maybe
I'm
not
keen
on
all
that
is,
it
is
does
to
to
increase
the
fee
of
that
nature.
Does
it
require
legislation?
G
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
jerry
mangoba.
Typically,
if
it's
increasing
a
fee,
it
will
require
legislation.
However,
for
this
particular
administrative
fee
being
recommended
by
the
governor.
This
does
not
require
legislation
to
be
changed,
as
it
is
already
specified
in
nrs
that
they
could
collect
this
administrative
administrative
fee.
G
B
G
That
is
correct.
According
to
nrs
that
provides
for
this
administrative
fee,
they
could
co.
They
could
increase
based
on
what
the
legislature
approved
for
for,
for
a
certain
amount.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
does
the
actual
tax
itself
increase,
or
is
it
just
a
portion
of
it?
That's
collected
go
to
the
fees
for
the
collection
of
that
tax.
G
H
A
Thank
you
assemblyman
and
thank
you,
mr
leiser.
Are
there
any
other
questions,
none
seeing
none.
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
F
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
on
page
39,
the
second
recommendation
is
a
justice
court
fee
increase
for
background
purposes.
Pursuant
to
nrs
4.065,
a
fee
of
a
dollar
is
collected
from
a
party
commencing
answering
or
appearing
in
the
action
or
proceeding
in
justice
court.
Additionally,
pursuant
to
nrs
revenues
collected
from
justice,
court
fees
must
be
used
to
fund
the
department,
demographers
positions,
cost
that
determines
and
estimates
the
annual
population
of
various
political
subdivisions
in
the
state
issues
an
annual
report
and
cooperates
with
the
federal
government
in
conducting
each
decennial
census
in
the
state.
G
The
executive
budget
recommends
increasing
the
justice
court
fee
from
a
dollar
to
two
dollars,
resulting
in
additional
fee
revenue
for
department
of
sixty
three
thousand
eight
hundred
thirty
seven
dollars
over
two
thousand
twenty
one.
Twenty
three
by
anyone
with
a
corresponding
decrease
in
general
fund
appropriation.
G
The
department
submitting
submitted
bill
draft
request
1-1079
to
effectuate
the
recommended
fee
increase.
Additionally,
the
governor's
finance
office
submitted
budget
amendment
82144
52361
to
increase
the
revenue
projections
from
the
justice
court
fee
to
show
171
636
over
the
2021-23
biennium,
with
a
corresponding
decrease
in
general
fund
appropriation.
B
D
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
to
recommend
increasing
justice
court
fees
by
171
636
dollars
over

biennium,
as
amended
in
budget
amendment
a214452361,
with
the

upon
the
passage
of

legislation
that
would
effectuate
an
increase
in
the
justice
court
fee
from

dollar
to

dollars.
A
Second,
that
motion
madam
chair.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
in
a
second
from
a
vice
chair
howard.
Is
there
are
there
any
discussion
on
the

Any
other

with
that
motion

unanimously.
Thank

Miss
mangova.
Please
move
on
to
the
next
item.
G
G
The
department
submitted
bill
draft
request
32-1078
to
allow
it
to
begin
collecting
the
commission.
The
department
indicates
it
currently:
values
collects
and
disperses
personal
property
tax
at
no
cost
relating
to
operating
property
of
an
interstate
or
inner
county
nature
such
as
those
owned
by
airlines,
railroads,
telecommunications,
electric
power
and
gas
companies
to
local
governments.
G
D
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
to
recommend
adding
revenue
of
273
920
over
the
2021
23
biennium
from
a
new
centrally
assessed
commission
on
the
unsecured
role
for
personal
property,
with
a
corresponding
reduction
in
general
fund
appropriations
contingent
upon
the
passage
of
enabling
legislation
that
would
effectuate
that
recommendation.
A
B
Madam
chair,
I
just
would
like
to
get
on
the
record
that
I
have
some
concerns
with
the
county
issue
that
the
senator
mentioned.
I
will
vote
this
recommendation
today,
but
I'd
like
to
see
the
language
that
will
be
introduced,
and
I
just
want
to
get
that
on
the
record.
Thank
you.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
again
for
the
record.
Jamery
manguba
on
page
40
are
seven
other
closing
items,
five
of
which
appears
reasonable
to
staff
for
other
closing
item
number
six:
that's
decision
unit,
e232
fiscal
staff
would
note
that
the
recommended
increase
in
out-of-state
travel
expenditures
was
based
on
an
an
incorrect
amount
in
the
base
budget,
causing
the
out-of-state
travel
expenditures
to
be
overstated.
G
G
For
other
closing
item
number
seven,
the
agency
indicated
the
recommendation
to
increase
operating
expenditures
is
no
longer
needed,
since
they
determine
an
error
in
their
calculation.
Accordingly,
fiscal
staff
recommends
decision
unit,
e235
not
be
approved,
fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items
1
through
5,
be
close,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
other
closing
item.
Six
be
closed
with
a
no
noted
technical
adjustment.
Other
closing
item
seven
not
be
approved
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
other
closing
items
one
through
five
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
other
closing
item
six
be
closed
with
a
noted
technical
adjustment,
whether
closing
item
seven
not
be
approved
and
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
Do
I
have
a
second
on
that
motion?
Second,
medium
chair.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
from
senator
brooks
in
a
second
from
vice
chair.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
all
those
opposed,
nay
motion
passes

Thank
you.
Miss
mancoba
well
looks
like
we
have
some
additional
information
that
requires
no
action.
Are
there
any
questions
on
that
piece?
A
Seeing
none?
My
packet
is
done,
and
I
think
leads
us
to
our
last
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
public
comment.
Now
this
is
going
to
function,
I
think
very
similar
to
how
it
normally
did.
While
we
were
online
in
part
because
there's
not
anybody
in
the
audience
here,
I
believe
who
is
who
would
be
wanting
to
present
public
comment.
So
if
I
can
ask
broadcast
to
open
up
the
line
and
see
if
there's
anybody
in
on
the
line
for
public
comment.
D
A
F
A
A
Perfect,
thank
you
so
much
and
with
that
I
would
ask
the
committee:
are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
before
we
adjourn
the
meeting
seeing
none?
I
will
adjourn
this
first
in-person
meeting
of
the
the
committee.
Thank
you
so
much.
