B
G
Good
morning,
chris
bailey
d-a-l-y
nevada,
state
education,
association,
the
voice
of
nevada
educators
for
over
120
years.
Nsca
represents
educators
across
the
state
of
nevada,
including
most
education,
support
professionals
or
esps,
who
provide
vital
services
to
the
children
in
nevada's,
public
education
system
esps
perform
a
wide
range
of
essential
work,
including
nutrition
services,
instructional
assistants,
school
secretaries,
maintenance
and
operations
and
student
transportation.
G
On
march
26th,
governor
sissellac
approved
the
nevada
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation
proposed
emergency
regulation
allowing
for
unemployment
benefits
to
be
available
to
9,
10
and
11
months.
Education
support
professionals
this
summer
with
the
coveted
19
pandemic
job
opportunities
last
summer
were
severely
limited
and
many
isps
struggled
to
make
ends
meet
this
summer
may
also
have
limited
second
job
opportunities
due
to
the
covenanting
crisis
and
that
could
have
meant
another
summer
with
no
income
for
thousands
of
nevada
educators.
G
B
Two
three
two:
please
slowly
state
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
You
will
have
two
minutes
to
speak
and
may
begin
good
morning.
My
name
is
jan
giles,
j
j-a-n-g-I-l-e-s
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
education
support
employees,
association
and
I'd
just
like
to
give
you
a
few
ideas
of
why
this
bill
is
so
or
this
executive
order
is
so
important
for
esp
food
service
workers.
Salary
is
11.69
an
hour
specialized
program
teacher
assistant
to
help
with
students
in
the
classroom
even
diapering
22
year
olds
that
are
special
needs.
B
They
make
11.69
campus
security
monitors
that
help
keep
the
hallways
secure
for
students
to
pass
are
13.53
an
hour.
These
employees
only
work
nine
months
out
of
the
year
at
this
salary
doesn't
give
them
the
opportunity
to
save
plus,
with
the
last
summer,
where
they
weren't
able
to
find
employment,
they're
still
playing
catch-up
on
all
of
their
bills.
So
this
year
to
be
able
to
qualify
for
unemployment
is
so
important
so
that
we
don't
have
our
employees
either
on
the
streets
homeless,
evicted,
it's
it's
very
important,
and
it
is.
B
We
urge
you
to
support
this
bill.
Thank
you.
D
A
Thank
you.
We
will
move
on
then
to
item
number
three
on
our
agenda,
which
is
approval
of
the
minutes
held
on
december
28th,
2020
and
january
19
2021.
A
A
Seeing
that
I
do
have
a
motion
from
senator
hardy
and
I
think,
a
second
from
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson
to
approve
the
minutes.
I
believe
I
saw
him
there
and
so
at
this
point
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
G
H
F
I
B
A
Is
unanimous
motion
carries
minutes
have
been
approved,
and
that
brings
us
to
item
number
four
on
our
agenda.
The
legislative
commission
policy
we'll
begin
with
sub-item
number
a
which
is
a
request
by
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
to
continue
a
regulation
not
adopted
within
two
years
after
submission
to
the
legislative
council.
J
J
Unfortunately,
no
further
action
was
taken
during
the
2019
legislature.
The
process
for
prom
promulgation
of
this
regulation
was
reestablished.
In
february
2020,
however,
additional
delays
occurred
due
to
the
covid19
pandemic,
developing
infrastructure
on
the
clinical
services
side
of
the
division
of
public
and
behavioral
health
to
promulgate
regulations
as
well
time
spent
communicating
with
and
identifying
the
appropriate
stakeholders
who
are
involved
in
the
certification
of
criminal
competency
examiners.
J
A
Great
thank
you
shark.
We'll
move
to
members
of
the
commission
who
may
have
questions
on
this
item.
A
Seeing
no
questions
from
the
commission.
Thank
you,
miss
sharik.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
the
members
for
a
motion
to
approve
or
deny
the
regulation
is
there.
K
F
C
A
Great
motion
carries
and
is
approved.
Thank
you
again,
miss
sheriff
for
being
here
with
us
that
will
bring
us
to
item
or
b
on
our
agenda,
and
I
know
we
have
some
questions
from
members
of
the
commission
on
this
one.
This
is
a
review
of
an
emergency
regulation
submitted
by
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation.
A
This
emergency
regulation
before
us
today,
I
believe,
is
going
to
be
first
discussed
by
elisa
caffaretta,
who
we
have
from
the
the
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation
at
their
director
who
will
be
joining
us
virtually
to
submit
the
request,
and
so
we'll
turn
it
over
to
you,
ms
caferetta,
to
go
ahead
and
walk
us
through
the
request
and
the
regulation
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
members
of
the
commission
for
any
questions.
J
L
L
L
L
These
families
may
still
have
lingering
effects
in
finding
work
this
summer
because
of
the
coded
19
pandemic
and
have,
in
many
cases,
drained
their
savings
and
investments
as
a
result
of
the
economic
downturn.
Last
summer,
this
regulation
was
drafted
in
conjunction
with
the
nsea
and
the
governor's
office
and
is
believed
to
be
the
appropriate
solution
if
educational
support
staff
are
unable
to
find
work
this
summer.
L
The
committee
should
further
note
that
all
school
districts
may
be
affected
by
increased
claims
and
are
reimbursable
or
pay-as-you-go
employers
based
on
the
coronavirus
response
and
relief.
Supplemental
appropriations
act
of
2021
federal
funds
are
available
through
september
2021
to
provide
up
to
75
relief
of
all
charges
to
any
employer
affected
by
claims
resulting
from
this
regulation.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
will
begin
with
going
to
senator
settlemeyer
who
had
asked
for
some
additional
discussion
on
this
and
says
senator
centerline.
When
you
are
ready,
you
can
go
ahead
and
proceed.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
that
this,
of
course,
has
indicated.
You
know
stems
from
senate
bill
75,
where
this
amendment
was
attached.
The
body
as
a
whole,
for
some
reason
chose
not
to
proceed
with
that
amendment,
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
that.
But
I
need
to
get
some
things
on
the
record
because
back
on
sb
75,
we
were
discussing
that
this
potentially
would
take
like
douglas
county
a
million
dollars
out
of
the
school
district,
1.6
million
dollars
for
lyon,
county
clark,
county,
potentially
30
million
dollars
out
of
the
school
district
budget.
I
But
does
this
then
still
cover
the
temp
temporary
food
service,
people
that
what
about
the
temporary
substitutes,
the
temporary
clerical
workers,
things
of
that
nature,
so,
if
they're
deemed
temporary
rather
than
permanent,
would
they
still
be
able?
Would
they
be
able
to
access
these
funds?
So
if
you
had
a
temporary
administrative
professional,
are
they
then
able
to
get
this.
L
H
Adam
chair
team,
senator
settlemyre,
troy,
jordan,
senior
legal
counsel,
the
employment
security
division
for
the
record.
H
We
believe
it
would
cover
them,
because
the
only
prohibition
from
the
department
of
labor,
if
they're
otherwise
qualified,
is
for
what
they,
what
they
define
as
professional
staff,
which
is
instructional
staff
such
as
teachers,
administrators
such
as
principals,
superintendents
and
the
like.
So
we
don't
think
there
would
be
any
prohibition
to
them
under
this
regulation
applying
if
the
need
arose.
I
I
K
And
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Very
much
so
I
was
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
the
75
percent
also
so
I'm
trying
to
I,
I
think,
I'd
like
mr
frishman
and
thank
you,
mr
frishman,
for
for
coming
back
and
and
assisting
dieter.
We're
we're
very
glad
that
you're
there
it
was
my
understanding.
I
thought
that
this
was
just
going
to
that
they
would
just
draw
down
the
federal
portion
and
that
the
employer
would
be
absolved
of
their
portion.
So
is
that
not
true.
L
Basically,
the
amount
of
benefits
that
would
be
received-
the
school
districts
would
be
relieved
of
75
percent
of
that
and,
as
we
said,
that
other
25
percent,
the
school
districts
would
be
responsible
for
pay.
L
K
Thank
you
so
in
in
essence,
the
the
federal
dollars
will
pick
up
75.
So
if
we
had
done
this
in
another
way,
the
school
districts
could
have
been
responsible
for
100,
but
by
doing
it,
this
way
they're
only
responsible
for
25
percent.
K
J
K
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
from
theater
or
if
that's
for
the
numbers
that
that
senator
settlemyer
was
referring
to.
I
have
not
seen
those
numbers,
so
I
don't
know
where
they
came
from
and
I'm
not
sure
if
they've
been
thoroughly
vetted
or
if
they're
just
estimates.
L
Jeff
richmond
for
the
record
during
the
initial
discussions,
there
were
some
figures
that
were
brought
forward
from
various
school
districts.
I
have
no
idea
if
they
were
vetted.
I
have
no
idea
of
their
accuracy.
These
were
some
of
the
numbers
that
were
put
out
during
the
initial
discussions
on
this.
J
And
if
I,
my
madam
chair,
lisa
caferetta
from
dieter,
I
would
add
a
couple
of
clarifications.
J
J
So,
and
I
don't
know
if
the
school
districts
are
on
the
line
and
could
testify
in
terms
of
who
would
be
covered,
but
the
updates
we've
gotten
from
clark
county
is:
they
believe
they
would
bring
back
all
of
their
staff
to
cover
summer
school
activities,
and
so
they
feel
there
would
be
very
few
weeks
that
people
would
education
support.
Personnel
would
qualify
and
very
few
people
who
would
qualify.
So
I
to
assemblywoman
carlton's
point.
J
K
And
thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
If
we
could
get
that
clarification,
you
know,
we've
all
been
in
this
building
a
while.
We
all
know
what
fiscal
notes
are
like
and
we
always
have
to
dive
into
those
fiscal
notes,
but
having
the
folks
on
the
ground
who
are
actually
going
to
have
to
deal
with
this,
especially
with
the
summer
school
component
built
in,
be
great
to
have
them
be
able
to
share
what
they
think
the
numbers
might
look.
A
Like
I
am
just
checking
to
see
if
we
have
any
one
here
who
can
answer
that
at
this
point,
but
we
will
work
on
that
and
then
additionally,
I
do
believe
that
senator
settlemyre
had
mentioned
some
of
the
numbers
that
were
brought
up
during
the
initial
hearing
on
sp
75,
which
a
bit
of
a
different
language
component
to
it
than
what
it's
in
this
emergency
regulation
and
that
there
had
been
some
discussion
of
those
numbers.
During
that
particular
hearing.
A
And
I
don't
know,
senator
settlemeyer.
If
you
wanted
to
elaborate
on
those
numbers
and
where
those
had
come
from.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
I
would
suggest,
would
mr
keating
be
allowed
to
call
in
and
comment
as
to
some
of
the
fiscal
numbers
that
were
brought
out,
particularly
for
clark
county?
I
can't
attest
to
all
the
counties,
I'm
looking
at
the
initial
data
that
was
given
to
us,
on
which
indicated
the
fiscal
note
for
12
of
the
17
counties
was
attached
to
that
bill.
A
And
I
I
have
no
objection
to
getting
a
little
bit
more
information.
It
sounds
like
the
committee
would
like
that
information,
so
we're
trying
to
make
sure
we
can
get
those
folks
into
the
answer
if
we
can
so
the
committee's
brief
indulgence,
while
that,
while
we
kind
of
sort
through
some
of
that,
I
know
we
have
a
couple
of
other
questions
also
pending,
so
we
will
go
to
assemblyman
wheeler
and
then
I
have
senator
hardy
so
assemblyman.
A
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
with
questions
and
we'll
come
back
to
this
discussion
as
we
can
get
a
bit
more
information.
F
L
I
know
that
during
summer
year
or
summer
months
I
should
say
sometimes
the
administrative
staff
also
cuts
back
and
I'm
wondering
if.
L
L
Jeff
freshman
for
the
record,
if
you're
meaning
the
calculations
from
the
school
districts,
that
would
be
better
question
for
them.
I
don't
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
Okay,.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
summer,
school,
obviously
we're
interested
in
summer
school,
having
not
been
able
to
have
our
our
students
in
schools
during
the
school
year
by
and
large,
and
so
the
mix
between
summer
school
and
what
a
normal
contract
would
be
and
there's
questions.
I
have
about
that.
When
we
look
at
unemployment
in
a
year,
that's
not
brought
with
the
cova
virus
ban
pandemic,
are
teachers
on
unemployment
through
the
summer
or
is
that
a
difference
between
a
nine-month
contract
and
a
12-month
contract,
and
therefore,
is
this
12-month
contract?
F
Is
that
what
we're
talking
about
for
the
support
staff,
as
well
as
the
teachers
or
these
teachers
and
sports
staff
that
have
been
on
a
nine-month
contract
and
therefore
they're
doing
an
unemployment,
that's
unique
and
different,
and
how
does
the
nine
month
and
12
month
contract
take
place
and
then,
on
the
same
token,
if
I
can
get
my
other
question
in,
do
we
have
a
commitment
from
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
on
unemployment,
that
they
will
be
there
in
the
fall
and,
if
they're
taking
unemployment,
do
they
have
something
in
that
contract?
H
Madam
chair
to
senator
hardy,
troy
jordan
for
the
record
esd
senior
legal
counsel
in
normal
times,
senator
hardy.
None
of
these
people
are
eligible
for
unemployment,
because
they're
considered
what
the
department
of
labor
says
is
between
terms
between
school
years,
meaning
that
none
of
them
would
be
eligible
for
unemployment
saving,
except
if
they
got
laid
off
from
a
second
job,
that
they
were
working
full-time
or
had
enough
wages
in
to
qualify
independent
of
the
education
wages
that
they
were
getting
dorm
during
the
normal
school
year.
F
F
And,
and
so
if
they
were
on
unemployment
through
the
school
year,
normally
they
wouldn't
be
on
unemployment
through
the
summer
because
they
were
all
were
they
made
whole.
Let
me
ask
it
this
way:
were
they
made
whole
during
the
school
year
with
salary,
or
was
it
a
percentage
of
the
salary
they
normally
would
have
made.
H
I'm
not
again
troy
jordan
for
the
record.
I'm
not
completely
sure
what
you
mean
by
made
whole
unemployment,
rarely
will
make
a
person
fully
whole
for
any
wages
lost,
it's
not
a
wage
replacement.
H
They
would
not
have
received
unemployment
from
the
end
of
that
school
year
until
the
beginning
of
the
2021
school
year
or
what
I
should
say
fall
of
20
school
years,
starting
none
of
these
people,
whether
they
be
teachers
or
support
staff,
would
have
gotten
that
so
the
only
way
they
could
have
been
on
an
on
on
unemployment
that
summer
would
have
been
had.
They
had
a
second
job
that
they
were
laid
off
from
at
that
time.
F
So
the
theory,
so
the
theory
then
would
be-
we
were
looking
at
unemployment
through
the
summer
in
order
to
help
the
employee,
the
teacher
and
or
the
sports
staff
to
make
up
for
what
they
normally
would
have
made
if
they
had
been
working
by
keeping
them
on
unemployment
through
the
summer
with
the
school
district.
Is
that
correct.
H
H
And
troy
jordan
for
the
record
again
the
whole
triggering
mechanism
to
make
them
ineligible
for
unemployment
under
the
current
statute.
The
current
law
is
that
letter
of
intent
for
them
to
return
in
the
fall
from
the
school
district.
What
this
regulation
would
do
is
open
the
door
that
they
could
get
unemployment
if
they're
otherwise
qualified.
Even
though
they've
got
the
reasonable
assurance
to
come
back,
if
they
then
fail
to
come
back,
it
changes
the
formula
and
there
are
so
many
moving
parts.
F
And
would
they
then
be
eligible
for
unemployment
through
the
summer,
for
instance,
and
even
be
able
to
collect
that
if
they
lucked
out
and
got
a
better
job
doing
something
else
somewhere
else
and
were
fully
employed.
L
Jeff
pershing,
through
the
record.
Typically
when
someone
is
collecting
unemployment
becomes
employed.
Typically,
their
earnings
are
such
that
they
would
be
not
eligible
to
collect
unemployment
because
of
those
earnings.
So
if
they
found
a
better
job,
as
you
suggest,
they
would
more
than
likely
not
be
eligible
for
benefits
because
of
their
earnings.
N
I
thank
you
for
the
question,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
it
so,
on
the
the
term
in
here
that's
being
used
educational
support
personnel.
I
think
I
think
I
see
a
couple
of
different
things
in
nrs
right
now.
I
see
education,
personnel
and
support
personnel,
but
the
only
definitions
I
think
I
can
find
over
our
education
chapters
are
for
employee
is
to
find
paraprofessionals
to
define
staff
person
is
defined,
but
I
didn't
know:
do
we
have
somewhere
a
reference
for
educational
support,
personnel.
H
Go
ahead
for
the
record.
Troy
jordan
threw
the
chair
to
assemblyman
benitez
thompson.
To
answer
your
question,
the
answer
was
no,
and
this
definition
was
crafted
in
conjunction
with
the
governor's
office
and
the
nsca
to
get
it
as
close
as
we
could
to
affect
the
effect
of
people.
This
regulation
is
trying
to
encompass.
L
A
And
I
do
believe
we
may
have
mr
keane
from
clark
county
school
district
who
might
be
able
to
answer
a
few
questions
regarding
the
numbers
that
we
had
discussed.
I
don't
know
if
bps
you
can
pull
him
up.
He,
I
believe,
he's
on
the
phones.
D
B
B
E
D
The
only
I'm
not
sure
what
questions
the
committee
may
have,
but
I
did
want
to
address
assemblywoman
carlton
asked
about
the
fiscal
note
that
had
been
provided
from
the
school
district
so
based
on
the
original
bill
and
how
it
was
written
and
who,
qua
and
and
the
senate
side
and
who
qualified
it
was.
It
accounted
for
8,
500
support
professionals
in
totality,
and
the
number
we
had
factored
was
30
million
dollars.
That
was
an
an
average
number,
as
all
of
you
on
the
committee
are
much
more
knowledgeable
on
this.
D
There
are
a
number
of
outside
factors
that
determine
the
cost
of
each
employee
and
then
based
on
the
benefits
earned
from
other
employers
for
that
employee.
Within
their
base
period,
each
employee
is
having
is
traded
individually,
so
we
took
the
average
number
between
the
high
and
the
low
cost
and
were
able
to
get
just
over
30
million
dollars.
D
The
high
just
to
note
for
the
committee
was
68
million
dollars.
If
all
of,
if
all
responsibility
was
placed
on
the
clark
county
school
district,
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
note
for
the
committee
was,
if
the
this
regulation
moves
forward
and
at
the
25
percent,
that
would
look
at
ccsd
paying
a
total
of
approximately
7.5
million
dollars
in
in
unemployment
benefits
to
support
professionals.
D
The
only
thing
I
wanted
to
state
for
the
committee
was
the
difference,
and
I'm
hoping
dieter
can
verify
this
information,
but
when
we
had
submitted,
we
submitted
the
support
professionals
that
we
believed
qualified.
What
it
sounds
like
today
is
there's
the
potential
of
licensed
substitutes
who
have
a
dual
non-licensed
employment.
So
those
are
individuals
that
qualify
as
sptas
could
be
a
spta
sub,
a
certified
temporary
tutor,
a
paraprofessional,
a
temporary
employee,
there's
4300
of
those
in
the
clark
county,
school
district.
There's
an
additional
3
500
temporary
employees,
as
well
as
a
111
month
police.
D
So
we're
not
sure
about
any
of
those
factors,
but
we're
at
7.5
million
dollars.
Currently,
prior
to
any
of
these,
approximately
6
000
people
that
may
qualify
under
what
dieter
had
mentioned
earlier
about
anybody
outside
of
the
sub
pool
substitute
teaching
pool,
and
I
have
the
unemployment
team,
the
gurus
for
the
clark
county
school
district
sitting
here.
So
if
the
committee
has
any
other
questions,
we
are
happy
to
answer
them.
A
And
mr
keating,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify,
because
you
mentioned
that
there
had
been
a
fiscal
note
on
the
bill
and
I
don't
I
wanted
to
just
clarify
if
you're
referring
to
the
amendment
that
have
been
proposed
and
some
quick
calculations
that
the
school
district
had
done
or
you're.
Referring
to
a
formal
fiscal
note,
because
I
think
we
have
some
information
on
a
fiscal
note.
D
Madam
chair
brad,
keating
ccsd
for
the
record.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up.
That
was
like
you.
We
had
worked
with
the
else
with
fiscal
at
lcb,
since
the
amendment
had
not
been
formally
adopted.
Originally
we
could
not
have
the
fiscal
notes
from
the
school
districts
added
and
then
that
amendment
nothing
moved
forward.
So
we
had
each
school
district
had
created
a
fiscal
note,
but
you
are
correct.
They
were
not
added
into
the
system
because
when
originally
asked
on
fiscal
notes
that
that
proposed
amendment
was
not
there.
Thank
you
for
that.
N
N
So
much
if
I
could
circle
back
to
the
question
I
had
asked,
so
I
guess
the
better
question
for
the
record
then
is
that
so
is
the
educational
support
personnel
meant
to
capture
everyone,
who's,
otherwise
defined
in
statute,
so
staff
an
employee
or
a
paraprofessional
just
excluding
teachers,
but
otherwise
we
should
hold
in
the
other
three
definitions
of
how
we
count
people
as
kind
of
being
under
the
roof
of
the
school.
If
you.
H
H
Troy
jordan
for
the
record,
I'm
having
a
bit
of
a
hard
time.
You
you
broke
up
a
little
bit.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
understood
your
question.
N
I
appreciate
that
I
was
saying
for
the
for
the
legislative
record:
should
we
generally
hold
in
our
head
that
the
this
definition
of
education
support
personnel,
that,
as
it's
being
crafted
for
this
regulation,
is
meant
to
kind
of
include
everyone
that
we
see
otherwise
to
find
in
statute
staff
person,
employee
or
parapher
paraprofessional,
but
just
removing
the
licensed
teachers
out.
Is
that
what
we're
doing
with?
Is
that
how
we
should
envision
this
definition
working.
H
H
It's
likely
that
that
is
as
close
to
we
can
get
as
a
a
black
and
white
definition
in
a
very
gray
area,
but
it
is,
it
is
likely
that
that
is
very
close.
The
initial
discussion
spoke
of
people
like
bus
drivers,
cooks
in
the
lunchrooms
things
of
people
of
that
nature
that
were
unable
to
find
jobs
over
the
summer.
That
was
the
intent
of
the
bill.
H
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
some
gray
areas
as
there
are
with
every
regulation
or
statute,
but
we
tried
to
make
it
as
encompassing
for
those
types
of
support
professionals
that
we
were
talking
about
at
the
time
and
did
not
want
to
lay
out
individual
positions,
because
we
didn't
want
anyone
to
get
left
out
that
might
be
covered
that
were
support.
Professionals.
A
Correct
assemblywoman
carlton,
please.
K
And
thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
and
I'm
hoping
mr
keating
is
still
on
the
line
because
earlier
we
had
heard
some
conversations
about
summer
school
and
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
right
now
and
I
believe
it
was
alluded
to
that.
K
D
Madam
chair,
through
you
to
assemblywoman
carlton
brad
keating
for
the
record
clark
county
school
district,
you're
correct
that
if
the
employees
participate
in
a
summer
school
program
like
you
said
they
would
not
be
eligible,
they
would
they
would
be
paid
their
full
full
pay,
but
they
wouldn't
be
eligible
to
receive
unemployment
benefits.
The
clark
county
school
district
is
working
with
the
esea,
as
well
as
all
of
our
school
principals.
D
Right
now,
each
school
will
be
hosting
a
summer
school
over
the
summer,
but
the
details
of
that
are
being
worked
out
with
the
principals
right
now
of
how
long
those
summer
school
opportunities
will
last
as
well
as
the
big
factor
is
how
many
students
will
choose
to
participate
in
that
summer
school.
So
until
we
have
the
the
student
participation
rate,
we
can't
hire
and
put
the
staffing
in
place.
K
K
D
Madam
chair,
through
you
to
assemble
woman,
carlton
brad
keating
ccsd
for
the
record,
the
only
figure
that
we
currently
have
we're
working
to
get
numbers
on
on
support
professionals,
but
our
teachers.
Currently
we've
been
informed
through
a
survey
that
60
percent
of
licensed
professionals
would
agree
to
come
back
for
a
summer
school
a
summer
school
activity
summer.
Sorry.
K
And,
and
thank
you,
mr
keating,
I
know
we're
putting
you
on
the
spot
on
this
there's
a
lot
of
unknowns,
but
we
realize
how
important
it
is
for
to
deal
with
this
issue
and
have
this
discussion
for
those
employees
to
make
sure
we
have
all
the
information.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Manager,
assembly,
woman-
and
I
guess
just
to
follow
up
on
that,
mr
keating
as
well.
A
The
the
employees
as
well,
who
may
still
find
summer
work
those
those
would
be
accounted
for
as
individuals
who
would
not
qualify
for
the
unemployment,
and
so
I
guess
just
to
follow
up
on
the
assemblywoman's
question
that
there
may
be
a
chunk
of
those
that
are
employed
through
summer
school.
There
may
also
be
another
chunk
that
still
finds
summer
employment
and
thus
would
be
ineligible
for
the
unemployment
as
well.
If
I'm
understanding
that.
H
Madam
chair
troy,
jordan
for
the
record.
That's
exactly
correct.
The
other
point
that
we
were
just
discussing
here
we
wanted
to
make
is
that
all
other
unemployment
requirements
are
still
in
effect.
So
if
a
person
turns
down
work
or
fails
to
search
for
work
during
that
time,
they
can't
just
sit
home
and
get
the
unemployment
they're
going
to
have
to
be
actively
searching
for
work
and
they're,
not
going
to
be
able
to
turn
down
suitable
work.
H
H
The
same
could
be
said
if
they
got,
as
you
said,
if
they
got
an
outside
job,
they
would
be
working.
They
would
not
be
unemployed
also,
even
if
they
were
only
partially
employed.
There's
a
possibility
if
they
make
our
our
maximum
benefit
amount
in
the
state
of
nevada,
is
under
500
dollars.
So
if
they
were
making
five
hundred
dollars
a
week
at
a
second
job,
they
would
also
be
what
we
call
in
excess
earnings,
meaning
they
would
earn
too
much
money
to
receive
unemployment.
A
Thank
you
and
then
on
that
mr
keating.
Just
to
clarify
the
numbers
that
you're
talking
about
would
be
based
just
upon
those
personnel
as
defined
and
wouldn't
necessarily
account
for
those
who
may
be
employed
by
summer
school
or
who
may
still
find
their
typical
summer.
Employment.
D
D
The
issue-
and
I'm
sure
everyone
is
aware
of
this-
is
that
anyone
can
file
for
unemployment,
so
that
makes
it
difficult
and
puts
a
strain
on
the
system
here
at
the
clark
county
school
district
in
dealer
as
well.
The
other
issues
are
that
may
come
up
so
that
the
committee
is
aware
so
that
when
you,
when
you
receive
questions
from
constituents,
is
we
are,
for
instance,
looking
at
starting
summer
school
june
1st.
D
There
would
be
a
week
between
the
end
of
our
the
three
days
between
our
current
school
year
ending
and
our
summer
school
beginning.
D
So
what
we're,
what
we
are
trying,
sorry!
So
what
we
are
trying
to
do
is
work
with
everybody,
so
that
there
is
not
a
weak
gap
where
that
all
of
these
support
professional
can
apply
for
unemployment
for
one
week
and
then,
as
that,
would
put
a
huge
strain
on
the
system,
not
only
here
at
ccsd
but
dieter.
So
we're
working
through
that
to
try
to
make
sure
there's
not
chunks
of
time
throughout
the
summer
that
there
would
be
a
huge
strain
on
the
system.
C
Oh,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question,
madam
chair,
and
actually
that
last
statement
brought
me
to
two
questions.
I
have
possibly
three
one.
You
know.
We
know
that
we're
trying
to
help
deter
out
and-
and
you
know
we
know-
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
that
we've
been
trying
to
shore
up
over
there.
This
is
going
to
undoubtedly
create
a
surge
with
numbers
of
unemployed
that
we're
talking
about.
C
After
listening
to
senator
hardy
and
mr
brad
keating
talk
about
who's
eligible
and
trying
to
find
that
definition
of
who's
eligible
we're
talking
about,
maybe
possibly
thousands
of
people.
How
do
you
plan
to
handle
that
surge
as
it
comes
in
and,
of
course
it
might
be
periodic
surges
and
then
secondly,
obviously
there's
going
to
be
some
verification
that
needs
to
to
happen,
and
we
saw
that
happen
with
the
pua
system
with
pua
and
and
so
how
do
you?
C
How
do
you
now
verify
that
somebody
hasn't
been
offered
a
contract
for
the
following
school
year
or
that
they
have
been
offered
employment
over
the
this
summer?
There's
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
and
then
I
guess
the
last
question
I
have
and-
and
this
is
probably
for
those
who
came
up
with
the
policy
itself
and
we've
got
75
percent
of
the
money
coming
out
of
the
federal
dollars.
You
know
when
we
developed
the
pua
system.
C
It
was
designed
for
those
who
you
know
just
have
never
paid
into
a
system,
their
independent
contractors,
and-
and
now
you
have
a
system
where
these
folks
have
never.
You
know,
we've
never
paid
them
unemployment,
because
it's
just
not
the
way
that
the
statute's
written.
Why
was
there
any
consideration
in
having
a
hundred
percent
of
the
money
coming
out
of
federal
funds
instead
of
burdening
the
the
school
district?
So
that's
25
percent.
L
To
as
far
as
the
funding
piece,
the
it's
not
that
we
are
allowing
the
maximum
amount
of
funding
the
75
percent-
that's
allowable
through
the
latest-
cares
act
legislation
from
the
federal
government,
so
the
federal
government,
in
essence,
has
said
if
they
are
willing
to
relieve
the
75
and
they
will
reimburse
or
pay
that
into
our
ui
trust
book.
L
So
I
hope
that
answers
that
part
of
it
as
far
as
the
surge.
Hopefully,
what
we
would
potentially
be
able
to
do
is
treat
it
like,
and
we
haven't
discussed
in
depth
all
of
the
operational
piece.
However,
if
we
were
to
treat
it
as
rapid
response,
which
would
mean
we
could
potentially
send
some
representatives
out
there
and
help
do
some
hand-holding
some
coaching
and
provide
help
to
large
groups
of
individuals
that
we
could
have
all
in
a
room
together,
we
believe
we
would
be
able
to
help
smooth
that
surge
and
smooth
the
application
process.
L
If
there
was
a
job
refusal
each
one
of
these
applications
for
unemployment,
we
would
be
sending
notification
to
the
school
district
and
this
it
would
be
incumbent
upon
the
school
district.
To
reply
back
to
those
that
request
and
inform
us
that
there
had
been
a
job
offer
made
to
the
individual
and
a
refusal,
and
then
we
would
handle
that
appropriately
and
make
the
determination
whether
the
job
offer
was
suitable,
so
that
would
be
incumbent
upon
the
school
district
to
respond
to
our
request
for
information.
C
Yes,
you
did,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
only
the
only
thing
that
worries
me
again
is
you
know
when
you
talk
about
how
many
folks
that
will
be
asking
for
unemployment
at
some
point
it
may
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
people,
and
I
know
that
we've
had
trouble
with
backlogs
in
the
past,
we're
only
a
month
or
two,
maybe
less
than
two
months
away
from
all
this
happening.
Is
there
any
any
indication
of
where
you
are
right
now,
with
your
backlog
with
cases
now?
C
How
long
is
it
taking
folks
to
get
processed
and
get
money
right
now,
as
we
stand
with
just
the
regular
system
going.
L
L
L
Percent
the
applications
or
benefits
were
paid
within
21
days,
so
we've
made
great
strides
over
the
last
six
months
as
far
as
returning
to
a
more
timely
payment
of
new
applications.
Initial
claims.
L
The
backlog
currently
stands
at
a
jefferson
for
the
record.
The
last
numbers
I
saw,
which
was
about
a
week
ago,
the
pua
stood
at
approximately
2
000
backlog
claims,
certainly
that's
down
significantly
from
where
it
was
six
months
ago,
and
currently
the
last
numbers
I
saw
were
that
the
for
the
regular
ui
stood
at
approximately
47
000..
L
Now,
please,
let
me
remind
you
that
with
that
without
getting
into
the
weeds
too,
but
so
that
you
understand
these
backbones
and
these
numbers-
okay,
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
put
out
numbers
and
not
have
them
understood
correctly
out
of
that
47
000.
Please
understand
that
we're
receiving
approximately
the
last
numbers
I
saw
were
about
7
500
8
000
claims
initial
claims
each
week,
so
within
that
47
000
is
contained
the
last
three
weeks,
which
would
not
be
untimely.
L
So
there's
about
24
000
claims
in
there
that
are
kind
of
in
the
churning
and
would
not
really
be
a
backlog
per
se
or
late.
So
approximately
half
of
those
are
naturally
in
the
churn
out
of
that
47
000..
So
obviously,
we've
made
significant
progress,
particularly
since
the
initial
thirds
of
claims
a
year
ago,
but
we've
done
a
lot
of
catch-up
and
it
is
a
better.
It
is
a
better
story.
Right
now
we
have
been
making
a
big
progress
on
that
backlog.
A
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
I
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
to
answer
our
questions
from
dieter.
We
appreciate
you
and
thank
you,
mr
heating,
for
joining
us
to
be
able
to
shed
some
light
on
those
numbers.
At
this
point,
I
would
accept
a
motion
from
the
committee
so
moved.
Madam
chair,
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
from
assemblywoman
carlton.
Is
there
a
second.
D
A
Second,
from
senator
dennis
discussion
on
the
motion.
I
A
F
A
Thank
you
and
the
motion
does
carry
and
again
I
I
want
to
thank
everyone
from
dieter
for
being
here
to
answer
our
questions.
A
Obviously,
I
know
it's
been
a
lot
to
work
through
all
of
the
things
that
we've
been
dealing
with
this
with
this
pandemic
and
definitely
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
discuss
this
particular
regulation,
which
I
do
think
is
a
temporary
solution
to
help
those
support
professionals
in
our
education
system,
who
have
been
extremely
adversely
impacted
by
the
effects
of
the
pandemic,
with
the
hope
that
we
can
start
to
see
some
turnaround
over
the
summer
and
also
with
opportunities
for
summer
school.
A
A
A
So
far,
I
have
received
a
request
to
pull
regulation
numbers,
r,
110-19
and
r-122-19,
and
at
this
point
in
time
I
will
ask
members
of
the
commission.
If
there
are
additional
regulations
they
would
like
to
have
hold
for
individual.
I
F
G
C
I
I
A
We
will
now
consider
the
two
that
have
been
requested
for
some
individual
consideration
in
turn
on
their
agenda,
we'll
begin
with
our
110-19,
the
division
of
child
and
family
services
of
the
department
of
health
and
human
services,
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
senator
hardy,
who
had
a
question
on
this
particular
regulation
and
so
senator
hardy
when
you
are
ready.
F
F
I
wondered
how
that
comports
with
marijuana
legal
in
some
circumstances,
in
nevada
but
illegal
in
federal
law,
and
then
likewise,
when
we
start
looking
at
vaccinations
of
foster
families,
how,
if
anything,
we
expect
covet
immunization
to
take
place
in
foster
families.
E
Thank
you,
madam
here.
This
is
ross
armstrong,
administrator
of
the
division
of
child
and
family
services,
so
these
regulations
that
are
before
you
today
were
enacted
in
compliance
with
the
family.
First
prevention
services
act,
which
required
us
to
align
with
model
standards
across
the
country.
So
that's
the
basis
for
these
changes.
E
I
also
have
molly
blanchet
from
the
family
programs
office
from
the
division
of
child
family
services
to
get
into
more
details,
and
so
you
know
the
question
about
the
illegal
drugs.
Given
the
difference
between
state
and
federal
regulations
is
an
interesting
one.
The
the
federal
government
allows
states
or
require
states
to
be
to
set
up
licensure
requirements
for
their
foster
homes
in
nevada.
Each
of
those
three
jurisdictions
is
actually
the
licensing
authority
with
these
regulations
governing
all
of
those
in
terms
of
illegal
drugs
in
the
home.
E
You
know
that
is,
I
think,
something
we
would
most
likely
discover
during
a
visit
and
not
necessarily
during
an
initial
licensure
process,
and
so
we
would
take
into
consideration
the
the
state
law
in
that
respect
again,
if
molly
I'd
ask
molly
to
jump
in
if
she
has
more
details
about
how
that
works
on
the
ground
and
then
also
there
hasn't
been
really
any
information
about
covid
vaccinations,
but
we
did
think
the
regulations
needed
more
clarity
about
when
vaccines
should
be
considered
so
molly,
if
you
feel
free
to
answer,
maybe
perhaps
in
more
detail
the
questions
about
the
drugs
and
vaccinations.
B
Thank
you,
yeah
molly
blanchett,
for
the
record.
I
would
just
say
that
we
are
dealing
with
the
marijuana
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
similar
to
how
we
assess
alcohol
use
and
that,
if
people
do
not
have
an
issue
with
marijuana,
then
we'll
follow
the
state
law.
B
A
Additional
questions
from
members
of
the
commission
assembly,
woman,
benitez
thompson
and
then
senator
dennis.
I
saw
your
hand.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
had
a
a
question
if,
if
mr
armstrong
could
for
the
record,
so
I'm
I
the
question
about
the
the
piece
about
the
home
study,
and
I
just
I
guess
my
question
is
two
parts.
So
first
with
the
I
just
didn't
know
right
now,
if
home
studies
include
the
item,
5
2,
regarding
the
description
of
any
past
or
current
mental
health
issues,
I
didn't
know
if
that
was
in
practice
now
coming
into
regulation
or
vice
versa.
N
If
it's
going
to
be
regulation
going
into
practice
and
then
secondly,
how
you
would
imagine
that
information
to
be
to
be
used
like
how
would
we
contextualize
that
within
the
the
body
of
that
home
study,
so
is
it
just
for
information
only
and
then
the
licensing
agencies
can
make
their
own
determination
about
it?
Would
there
get?
I
guess
how
much
would
you
want
that
to
weigh
into
whether
or
not
someone
can
proceed
forward
with
licensure.
E
Thank
you,
ross
armstrong
again
for
the
record,
and
so
and
molly
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
in
terms
of
the
practice
versus
regulation.
But
this
is
the
recommended.
You
know
standard
that
we're
all
trying
to
get
to.
E
One
thing
I
think,
to
keep
in
mind
when
we're
talking
about
foster
homes
is
that
these
are
homes
that
are
taking
care
of
children
who
have
already
gone
through
an
incredibly
traumatic
event.
That
is
just
the
removal
from
their
homes
alone,
and
so
what
really?
E
The
process
of
going
through
the
licensure
process
for
foster
homes
is
to
make
sure
that
the
family
that
is
acting
as
an
agent
essentially
of
the
state,
is
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
children,
and
so
the
information
about
any
substance,
use
disorders
or
mental
health
issues
within
the
home
are
to
make
sure
that
the
family
is
able
to
address
their
own
issues
before
taking
on
additional
children
with
substantial
needs.
So
that
would
be
the
context.
There's
not
like
a
particular
mental
health
issue
or
substance
use
issue
that
would
trigger
automatic.
E
N
Just
to
follow
up,
madam
chairwoman,
so
I
could
okay,
thank
you
so
so
this
isn't
necessarily
meant
to
be
a
section
that
would
be
a
rule
in
or
a
rule
out
like
say
when
you
get
your
fbi
background
right,
there's
you
know,
there's
stuff
where
you
hit
a
hard,
stop
there
and
you're
not
going
to
move
forward
in
the
process.
N
N
That
might
you
know
if
you
have
persons
who
have
depression
or
bipolar
when
they're
real
they're
well
managed,
they
can
be
just
wonderful
placements
for
some
of
our
our
children,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
considered
as
a
as
a
rule
out
for
licensure
and
as
long
as
we
have
that
on
the
record,
I'm
good.
E
Yes,
this
is
ross,
that's
correct,
it's
not
a
rule
out
and
and
in
some
cases
the
information
from
the
home
study
can
help.
The
child
welfare
agency
make
the
best
match,
and
so
certainly
someone
with
that
lived
experience
may
be,
and
you
know
that
may
be
a
benefit
to
have
someone
who
has
that
lived
experience.
If
we
have
a
child
who
needs
someone
with
that
lived
experience
in
the
home
that
can
help
them
wrestle
with
their
own
mental
health
or
substance
abuse
issues.
So
that's
you
know
the
information
we
always
in
every
licensing
case.
A
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
a
question.
I
I
noticed
in
in
the
information
that
you
submitted,
that
you
had
a
public
workshop
on
september,
5th
2019,
and
there
was
several
of
both.
I
think
it
was
washoe
county
human
services
and
county
department
of
climate
services.
They
had
some
some
concerns
that
this
might
cause
the
the
regulation
might
cause
delays,
but
then
you
subsequently,
I
think,
met
with
them
and
had
a
couple
of
working
meetings
with
them.
G
Were
you
able
to
work
out
those
issues
or
because
I
finding
foster
families
is
as
difficult
as
it
is?
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
were
able
to
to
resolve
those
issues
so
that
we're
not
creating
a
a
a
barrier
to
be
able
to
get
families.
E
This
is
ross
armstrong
for
the
record
throughout
the
rule
making
process.
We,
you
know,
invite
everyone
to
participate
in
that
process
and
yeah.
There
are
some
comments
that
these
regulations
would
make
it
more
difficult.
There
were
some
other
comments
that
had
concerns
about
the
licensing
process
that
aren't
necessarily
related
to
the
actual
regulations
that
we're
adopting
and
so
and
then
there
were
some
comments
that
you
know
it
wasn't
specific
enough
or
rigid
enough
to
have.
E
You
know
that
there
were
concerns
about
that,
so
finding
that
regulation,
language
is
always
a
balancing
act.
Molly
can
speak
to
whether
the
the
partners,
you
know
are
all
are
all
in
agreement.
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
that
we
need
to
continue
to
work
on
modifying,
not
necessarily
the
regulations,
those
safety
requirements
that
are
are
placed
as
concerns,
but
the
actual
process
of
getting
families
recruiting
families
training
them
throughout
the
process
we
also
have
before
I
toss
it
over
to
molly.
E
We
also
have
a
process
for
waivers
and
variances.
If
there's
any
particular
regulation
that
is
holding
up
someone
from
getting
licensed,
if
it's
reasonable
to
come
up
to
another
way,
another
way
that
the
family
can
implement
safety
measures
to
meet
that
particular
regulation
that
doesn't
necessarily
prevent
licensure.
In
that
case,.
B
G
E
A
Thank
you
additional
questions
from
members
of
the
commission.
N
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
one
piece
of
this
that
I
really
appreciate
and
that
I
hope
is
able
to
help
us
with
the
psychotropic
medication
issue
that
we're
always
talking
about,
and
I
think
we
we
struggle
to
find
good
answers
with.
Is
the
piece
in
here
where
you
talk
about
making
ensuring
that
the
the
foster
parent,
or
at
least
one
staff
member
in
the
foster
home,
understand
the
directions
of
the
the
label
of
labels
on
medications.
N
And
so
I'm
I'm
really
glad
to
see
this
here,
because
I
know
that
we
are
trying
to
tackle
that
issue
from
lots
of
different
angles.
And
so
I
imagine
that
this
question
will
be
asked
and
that
it
will
kind
of
force
us
more
to
have.
You
know
in
a
better
way,
some
of
those
conversations
with
our
foster
parents
when
they're
getting
especially
like
psychotropic
meds
to
be
like.
N
Do
you
really
understand
the
directions
on
here,
and
especially
staff
people
in
our
therapeutic
foster
homes
to
really
understand
and
make
sure
that
we're
hoping
to
track
all
of
that
process?
Well,
so
I'm
really.
I
was
happy
to
see
that
in
this
regulation.
A
K
B
F
I
A
Great
thank
you.
The
motion
carries
regulation
will
be
adopted.
We
are
going
to
move
to
the
next
regulation
that
was
pulled
our
122-19
for
the
nevada
transportation
authority.
This
was
a
request
from
senator
seto
meyer,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
you
senator
to
go
ahead
and
ask
your
questions.
I
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure,
in
looking
at
the
regulation.
You
know
it
looks
like
we've
compartmentalized
a
lot
of
this
now
and
some
of
the
rates
are
going
down.
Some
are
going
up,
but
what's
the
aggregate
on
it
because
we
don't
have
a
breakdown
of
how
many
companies
are
each
in
one
of
each
one
of
these
categories
overall?
I
M
David
newton,
commissioner,
with
the
nevada
transportation
authority
chairman
through
you
to
senator
settlemyre,
we
broke
up
the
tears
because
we
ended
up
with
very
very
large
companies
and
very
very
small
companies
that
are
currently
operating
and
the
way
our
regulation
is
set
up
under
the
way
this
regulation
is
set
up
under
nrs
706
a140,
the
ncaa's
only
allowed
to
collect
what
it
anticipates
spending
in
a
year
for
enforcement
of
706
a
and
so
in
this
year
we
were
just
over
2.1
million,
and
so
that's
why
the
tiers
are
set
up.
M
The
way
they
are
is
to
capture
we.
We
look
at
what
we're
going
to
need
in
terms
of
funding,
and
then
we
go
back
and
we
look
at
number
of
rides
provided
number
of
drivers
for
the
individual
companies
and
their
gross
operating
revenues
in
the
state,
and
we
try
to
break
it
up
so
that
more
or
less
each
one
is
paying
its
fair
share
based
on
its
size
and
number
of
drivers,
because
that's
what
triggers
our
costs,
especially
in
terms
of
enforcement
and
of
auditing,
is
the
number
of
drivers
and
the
number
of
rides
provided.
M
So
we
we
added
several
sections
to
this
particular
rig
so
that
we
weren't
penalizing
the
smaller
companies.
We
we
tried
to
give
more
tiers
at
the
bottom
to
break
up
those
costs
more
equitably.
I
Thank
you
for
that
during
that
discussion,
because
again
it
seems
like
it
took
a
lot
of
work
in
order
to
figure
all
these
numbers
out
and
things
that
nature,
and
I
appreciate
that
was
there
any
discussion
of
trying
to
help
out
industry.
I
mean
you've
got
average
wait
times
right
now,
45
minutes
at
the
airport,
and
there
are
regulations
you
could
do
to
try
to
help
the
industry
and
help
drivers
earn
more
money.
Was
there
any
discussion
that,
or
was
this
just
completely
focused
on
micromanaging?
These
numbers.
M
Particular
regulation-
excuse
me
david
newton,
for
the
record
chairman
through
you
to
the
senator.
This
particular
regulation
was
focused
strictly
on
the
funding
part
of
it.
There
have
been
discussions
about
various
options
in
terms
of
the
surge
pricing,
but
we
haven't
gotten
a
clear
direction
yet
from
the
tnc's
as
to
which
direction
they
would
like
to
go.
M
A
I
have
a
motion
from
a
silly
woman
win
and
a
second
from
senator
dennis
discussion
on
the
motion.
Senator
senator.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
It
bothers
me
that
we
found
time
to
micromanage
the
industry,
but
not
actually
help
the
industry
and
that's
our
first
goal
was
to
make
sure
we
had
money
for
the
government
and
not
to
make
sure
that
these
drivers
had
more
money.
I
find
that
problematic
and
I
can't
support
this
this
time.
Thank
you.
K
I
may
yes
assemblywoman
carlton,
please,
and
thank
you
very
much
man,
I'm
sure
you
know
I,
when
I
leave
the
airport
every
weekend
and
I
walk
across
that
gangway.
K
A
Thank
you
assignment
additional
discussion
on
the
motion.
Seeing
none
madam
secretary,
if
you
could
take
a
roll
call
vote.
B
K
I
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
regulation
will
be
adopted.
A
Thank
you
all
for
getting
us
through
that
mo
that
particular
item
on
our
agenda.
We
are
going
to
move
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
number
five,
which
is
a
reappointment
of
a
member
to
the
nevada
commission
on
ethics
pursuant
to
nrs281a
200..
A
We
are
going
to
consider
reappointing
amanda
yen
to
a
second
term
on
the
nevada
commission
on
ethics.
Amanda
has
served
since
2016
in
a
seat
which
is
statutorily
required
to
be
filled
by
a
licensed
attorney,
and
at
this
point
in
time
I
would
ask
if
any
members
of
the
commission
have
questions
or
comments
on
this
particular
item,
and
we
do
have
ms
or
excuse
me,
mr
friendly
has
joined
us,
so
we
do
have
him
here
in
case
there
are.
A
B
M
F
A
We
will
now
move
to
item
number
six
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
legislative
audit
summary
of
audit
reports
presented
to
the
legislative
commission's
audit
subcommittee
and
also
the
summary
of
a
six-month
status
reports
on
the
implementation
of
the
audit
recommendation
by
the
legislative
auditor.
As
submitted
to
the
legislative
commission's
audit
subcommittee.
We
are
joined
today
by
dan
crossman,
the
legislative
auditor
who
has
reports
on
both
items,
6a
and
6b,
and
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
mr
crossman
to
start
off
with
item
number
six,
a.
O
Great
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
legislative
commission
for
the
record
dan
crossman
legislative
auditor
under
agenda
item
6a
today,
you'll
see
a
letter
from
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Vice
chair
of
the
audit
subcommittee
indicating
that
on
january
14th
of
this
year,
a
meeting
of
the
audit
subcommittee
of
the
legislative
commission
was
held
in
which
four
reports
were
presented
and
accepted.
During
that
meeting,
we
presented
a
summary
of
the
audits
to
the
subcommittee
answer.
Questions
of
the
subcommittee
members.
O
We
are
also
available
at
any
time
to
provide
information
on
our
reports,
so
turning
to
the
first
page
is
a
summary
of
our
audit
of
the
office
of
the
nevada
attorney
for
injured
workers
within
the
department
of
business
and
industry.
The
purpose
of
this
audit
was
to
determine
whether
aiw
had
adequate
controls
over
information
systems,
performance
measures,
sensitive
information
and
case
management
deadlines.
O
We
found
the
office
did
not
renew
timely
its
contract
for
information
technology
services,
which
resulted
in
naiw
having
it
no
guarantee
that
its
data
was
properly
being
backed
up.
Additionally,
we
found
user
access
accounts
to
critical
systems
were
not
periodically
reviewed.
We
also
identified
various
concerns
with
performance
measures
reported
to
the
governor's
executive
budget.
O
Specifically,
a
certain
supporting
documentation
was
not
retained.
Underlying
support
did
not
always
agree
to
the
reported
figures.
Supervisory
review
of
the
measures
was
not
evident
and
the
policies
and
procedures
were
not
comprehensive
and,
lastly,
we
identified
that
certain
personal
identifiable
information
personally
identifiable
information
could
be
better
secured
after
hours.
In
the
offices,
we
had
a
total
of
seven
recommendations
which
we
made
to
the
office
which
they
accepted
and
are
actively
implementing.
Those
on.
The
next
page
is
the
summary
of
our
review
of
governmental
and
private
facilities
for
children
inspections.
O
This
report
includes
the
results
of
15
inspections,
which
were
also
referred
to
as
unannounced
site
visits
in
prior
reports
of
children's
facilities.
We
had
notable
findings
in
three
of
the
15
facilities
we
inspected
in
each
of
these
three.
We
identified
certain
health,
safety
and
or
welfare
issues,
and
contacted
the
respective
licensing
agency
to
share
our
concerns.
O
As
a
result
and
based
on
the
licensing
agency's
actions,
one
facility
was
eventually
closed
and
in
two
other
instances,
corrective
plans
were
developed
for
those
facilities
and
homes
to
ensure
that
the
standards
of
care
were
being
properly
met.
We
also
during
this
period
conducted
seven
surveys
of
facilities
through
which
we
did
not
have
any
significant
concerns.
O
O
Turning
to
the
next
page
is
the
summary
of
our
audit
on
the
delivery
of
treatment
services
for
children
with
autism.
This
auto
is
required
by
sb
174
of
the
2019
session.
Our
audit
objectives
were
one
to
determine
if
revenues
and
expenditures
related
to
autism
therapy
were
sufficient
and
appropriate.
O
O
Pursuant
to
nrs218g
140,
we
did
notify
the
agency
as
well
as
the
governor
and
legislators,
and
the
attorney
attorney
general
of
our
concerns
in
this
area.
The
division
of
healthcare
financing
and
policy
is
working
on
reviewing
these
cases
in
question.
O
Additionally,
while
funding
has
been
sufficient
to
cover
those
applying
for
autism
services,
families
continue
to
struggle
to
obtain
treatment
and
opportunities
exist
to
assist
families
in
obtaining
more
timely
diagnosis
and
treatment.
Assisting
families
and
getting
more
timely
services
is
critical
to
improving
the
outcomes
of
children
with
autism.
O
Finally,
improved
communication
with
families
will
enhance
outcomes,
ease
transitions
and
result
in
a
more
robust
delivery
of
services
for
families
of
children
with
autism.
Our
recommendations
include
development
and
publication
of
specific
guidance
for
obtaining
diagnoses
and
aba
treatment,
gathering
provider
information
to
help
share
with
families
and
assigning
case
managers
as
soon
as
eligibility
is
determined.
O
Those
are
I'm
going
to
categorize
those
generally
here.
Four
recommendations
deal
with
helping
ensure
that
only
legitimate
medicaid
claims
are
paid,
two
focus
on
improving
processes
within
a
taps,
insurance
assistance
program,
six
recommendations
address
improving
delivery
of
services
by
the
acap
program
to
directly
assist
families.
O
One
addresses
continued
work
with
the
department
of
education
and
nevada
school
districts
on
medicaid
reimbursement
for
aba
services,
and
one
deals
with
the
accuracy
of
information
submitted
to
the
legislature,
the
aging
and
disability
services,
division
and
the
division
of
health
care.
Financing
and
policy
accepted
the
recommendations
and
are
actively
pursuing
ways
to
implement
them.
As
I
previously
noted,
sb
96,
which
is
sponsored
by
senator
orange
hall
and
assembly,
woman,
carlton
and
senator
dondero
luke,
proposes
an
increase
to
the
rbt
rate.
O
Since
corrective
actions
have
now
been
completed
to
address
the
vulnerabilities,
that's
centered
around
operating
systems
and
database
application
software
that
were
not
upgraded
to
current
and
supported
versions.
We
issued
this
addendum
to
the
original
report.
The
addendum
does
contain
four
additional
recommendations
to
protect
the
agency
from
having
these
types
of
issues
in
the
future.
O
A
I
am
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you,
mr
crossman,
for
walking
us
through
that
report.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
in
excel?
A
G
F
I
A
Thank
you
and
the
motion
carries
those
reports
will
be
adopted
or
approved
rather
and
then,
mr
crossman,
if
you
would
we'll
turn
it
over
to
you
again
for
item
number
6b
and
let
you
go
ahead
and
present
that
item
to
the
commission.
O
Thank
you,
chair
for
the
record
dan
crosston
legislative
auditor.
By
way
of
review,
the
six-month
reports
are
submitted
after
agencies
have
completed
their
corrective
action
plans.
Six
months
after
that
corrective
action
plan
and
the
division
of
internal
audits
of
the
governor's
finance
office
works
with
those
agencies
to
determine
the
status
of
the
implementation
of
the
recommendations.
O
We
review
the
internal
audits
assessment
and
when
we
feel
it's
warranted,
we
request
additional
information
work
with
the
agencies
to
make
sure
we
understand
the
status
of
those
recommendations
fully
under
agenda
item
6b
you'll
see
another
letter
from
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
Vice
chair
of
the
audit
subcommittee,
which
indicates
that
five
six-month
reports
were
reviewed
at
that
january,
14
2021
meeting
of
the
audit
subcommittee.
O
The
letter
shows
the
implementation
status
of
the
recommendations,
noting
that
43
of
46
recommendations
were
partially
or
fully
implemented,
as
reviewed
by
internal
audit
on
the
following
page,
we've
also
included
a
schedule
that
updates
the
status
of
these
recommendations.
As
of
late
february
2021.
O
We
do
not
have
any
significant
concerns
at
this
time
with
the
corrective
actions
being
taken
and
do
recognize,
as
was
as
discussed
in
that
meeting
of
the
audit
subcommittee,
that,
due
to
the
concerns
during
covid
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
agencies
faced,
you
know,
a
few
agencies
may
take
a
little
bit
longer
time
than
they
had
anticipated
to
complete
their
corrective
actions.
But
we,
like,
I
said,
we'll,
continue
to
monitor
the
status
of
these,
and
with
that,
madam
chair,
the
audit
subcommittee
does
recommend
the
legislative
commission
accept
these
five
six-month
reports.
Thank
you.
A
I
am
not
seeing
any
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
these
reports.
M
F
A
Thank
you
motion
carries
and
is
approved.
Thank
you,
mr
crossman,
again
for
walking
us
through
those
reports.
We
appreciate
