Keep

just
a
quick
reminder
that
anyone

when
you
testify
before
we

A
If
anyone
is

please
identify
yourself
now
we
ask
that
public
commenters,
keep
your

to
no

three
minutes
and
try
to
avoid
repeating
any
comments
that
have
been

by
a
previous

Remember
that
there
will
also
be
another
period
for
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
If
you,
if
you
prefer
to
provide
your
public
testimony.
C
F
A
Okay,
should
we
do
it
when
we're
discussing
senator
wiener,
should
we
do
it
when
we're
discussing
bdr6.
C
Yes,
if,
if
our
witness
can
stay
for
that
period,
that
would
really
be
helpful
in
processing
the
measure.
A
Are
you
able
to
stay
until
we
discuss
bdr6?
Yes,
okay,
then
we'll
have
you
speak
for
bdr6?
Thank
you
so
much.
A
It
appears
that
we
do
not
have
anyone
to
provide
public
comment
at
this.
Oh,
I
also
have
a
testimony
related
to
bdr6.
Would
you
be
willing
to
stay
until
we
get
to
bdr6.
A
So
it
appears
that
we
do
not
have
anyone
providing
public
comment
at
this
time,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
our
meeting
before
we
get
started.
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
for
participating
at
our
last
meeting.
Today,
we
will
be
discussing
in
more
detail
the
two
proposed
bill
draft
requests
that
were
selected
at
the
meeting.
A
I
would
refer
to
these
as
as
bdrs
through
the
meeting
to
prepare
for
today,
lcbs
lcb
staff
contacted
at
least
five
organizations
for
each
pdr.
These
entities
have
specific
expertise
related
to
one
of
the
two
bdrs
you
will
consider
today.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
several
experts
who
will
be
providing
testimony
today
regarding
our
two
bdrs.
A
We
greatly
appreciate
these
experts
for
taking
the
time
to
be
here
today
to
help
us
understand
both
bdrs
and
determine
which
proposed
bill
drafts
to
select.
So
thank
you
again
to
everyone
presenting
first,
we
need
to
address
item
number
four
on
our
agenda,
which
is
approval
of
minutes.
Copies
of
the
minutes
from
our
last
meeting
have
been
provided
to
you
all.
I
will
accept
the
motion
to
approve
minutes.
Would
anyone
like
to
make
a
motion.
A
Thank
you,
youth
legislator.
Fournier
has
moved
for
approval
of
the
minutes
for
our
last
meeting
held
on
october
13
2020.
Is
there
a
second
to
the
motion,
especially
the
palmer
on
second
promotion,
youth
legislator
palmer
has
seconded
the
motion.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
or
regarding
the
minutes?
A
Okay,
seeing
as
there
are
none
I'll
take
a
vote
on
the
motion
now
when
tina
calls
your
name,
please
state.
Yes,
if
you
agree
to
the
approval
of
the
minutes
or
know
if
you
do
not
agree
to
the
approval
of
the
minutes
tina,
would
you
please
call
bro
for
the
vote.
E
A
B
B
A
A
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
discussion
of
our
two
final
proposed
bdrs
and
the
selection
of
the
bdr
for
presentation
to
the
2021
legislature.
The
first
bdr
we
will
discuss
is
vdr
number
six.
This
bill
would
require
school,
counselor
or
school
nurse
or
resource
officer,
depending
on
the
availability
of
resources
to
annually
screen
each
pupil
in
a
public
school
for
major
depressive
disorder,
anxiety
and
substances.
A
B
Hi,
so
I'm
youth,
legislator,
craig,
and
I
am
I'm
going
to
start
the
presentation
for
bdr6
just
before
starting
my
presentation.
I
just
want
to
express
how
grateful
I
am
for
this
opportunity
to
be
presenting
to
you
and
how
amazing
it
is
to
work
with
you
all,
specifically,
youth
legislator,
melendez.
I
really
admire
your
passion
for
protecting
the
youth
in
our
justice
system
and
taking
strides
to
improve
the
systems
that
set
many
up
for
failure.
B
I
really
believe
in
both
of
these
bills,
and
so
I
and
I
think
that
they
both
have
very
great
intentions
to
help
nevada's
youth,
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
that
where
I
started
my
presentation
just
to
remind
everyone
of
the
specifics
of
the
bill.
The
three
tests
that
we
will
be
using
are
the
gad7
to
screen
for
anxiety,
the
phq-9
for
major
depressive
disorder
and
the
craft
for
substance
abuse.
B
All
three
of
these
tests
are
used
by
medical
professionals
and
they
can
be
administered
by
people
in
the
school
district
to
identify
at-risk
students.
If
a
student
is
identified
as
at-risk,
they
will
then
be
referred
to
a
mental
health
professional
in
their
area.
B
It
was
brought
to
our
attention
this
morning
when
meeting
with
the
washoe
county
children's
mental
health
consortium,
that
act
of
consent
would
be
necessary
for
the
parents,
so
we
would
be
providing
a
form
beginning
every
school
year
would
get
like
the
packets
of
papers
every
school
year
to
sign.
That
would
provide
permission
from
from
parents
to
perform
the
screenings.
B
So
I
wanted
into
a
little
bit
of
why
the
bills
so
necessary
and
why?
Why
nevada
am
I
now
so
right
now
or
prior
to
coping
suicide?
Was
the
second
leading
cause
of
death
for
people
ages,
15
to
24
in
nevada
and
those
are
based
on
statistics
from
2017,
and
we
know
that
since
covid
mental
health
has
gotten
worse
for
students
because
they
don't
have
like
the
routines
of
school
they're
missing
out
on
life
events.
B
They
can't
go
to
social
events,
things
like
that,
and
so
even
before
covid
we
had
the
10th
highest
suicide
rate
in
the
nation.
B
I
think
that
it's
really
important
to
note
that
these
are
before
these
are
prior
to
covet
and
things
are
getting
worse,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
it's
so
important
to
implement
this
measure
in
that
tyler,
and
I
attended
a
meeting
with
the
washoe
county
children's
mental
health
consortium
this
this
morning
and
in
discussing
our
bill
with
them,
they
were
enthusiastic
about
what
our
bill
is
trying
to
accomplish
and
the
methods,
and
then
I've
also
talked
to
the
head
of
the
teachers
union
for
nevada,
and
he
also
expressed
interest,
and
he
thought
that
it
was
a
good
idea
as
well.
B
So
overall,
we've
received
a
lot
of
great
feedback
from
the
educational
side
of
the
bill,
as
well
as
the
medical
side,
and
I
hope
that
our
witnesses
today
will
kind
of
reinforce
that
this
was
just
kind
of
a
refresher
on
the
bill.
I
think,
for
the
most
part
I
want
to
let
the
people
who
have
come
to
do
testimony
tell
their
side,
because
we
know
the
summary
of
the
bill
and
I
think
we
all
know
that
this
is
an
issue,
so
I
think
I've
done
my
part.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
youth
legislator,
craig
for
your
presentation,
does
any
member
have
any
questions
for
them.
A
No
testimony
okay,
so
it
appears
that
nobody
has
a
question,
so
we
will
proceed.
Thank
you
so
much
youth
legislator,
craig
and
he's
legislator
fourier.
Next
we
have
experts
who
have
generously
come
to
testify
regarding
this
bdr
miss
katie
dockweiler.
Would
you
please
spell
your
first
name?
I
mean
your
full
name
for
the
record:
explain
whom
you're
representing
today
and
begin
your
testimony
for
ddr6.
D
And
I'm
a
school
psychologist
with
the
nevada
association
of
school
psychologists
over
the
years,
I've
had
the
distinct
honor
to
serve
the
students
of
nevada
in
various
capacities,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
mental
health
and
school
safety
in
2018,
governor
sandoval
appointed
the
nevada,
school
safety
task
force,
and
I
am
currently
appointed
to
or
by
governor
syslab,
to
the
nevada
state
board
of
education.
D
In
addition
to
serving
with
the
nevada
association
of
school
psychologists,
I
also
am
actively
engaged
as
a
parent
who
has
two
children
in
nevada's
public
school
system.
So
it
is
through
this
cumulative
lens
that
I
speak
to
you
today
as
a
school-based
mental
health
provider
with
15
years
of
experience
working
in
nevada's
education
system.
D
After
speaking
with
the
primary
co-sponsor
bdr6,
I
am
in
support
of
the
intent
behind
this
bill,
but
a
neutral
on
the
bill
in
its
current
form,
the
mental
behavioral
health
of
our
students
is
critical
and
lack
of
early
identification
and
support
has
been
has
been
a
pervasive
issue
for
years.
The
pandemic
we
are
living
through
has
amplified
the
need
for
more
and
different
wellness
supports
for
our
students.
With
this
in
mind,
there
are
some
aspects
to
consider
before
moving
forward
with
bdr6.
D
In
its
current
form,
bdr6
requires
school,
counselors,
school
nurses
and
school
resource
officers
to
annually
screen
each
pupil
in
a
public
school
for
major
depressive
order,
anxiety
and
substance
abuse.
These
three
professions
are
not
licensed
to
conduct
such
clinical
evaluations,
nor
would
individual,
comprehensive
clinical
evaluations
be
feasible
on
school
campuses,
given
the
intent
behind
the
bill,
it
might
be
advantageous
to
consider
language
such
as
at
least
annually
school-based
intervention
teams
conduct
a
universal
social-emotional,
behavioral
screener
to
identify
students
with
high
internalized
or
externalized
risk.
D
Many
schools
at
the
elementary
level,
utilize
social
emotional
learning
programming,
while
necessary,
absolutely
highly
effective.
There's
often
a
disconnect
between
that
programming.
Talk
of
the
elementary
level
and
the
transition
of
seo
programming
to
middle
in
high
school,
an
adolescent,
soft
signs
of
anti-social
disorder
and
other
internalizing
disorders
signs
begin
to
emerge.
D
Many
sel
screeners
aren't
sensitive
enough
to
pick
up
on
those
nuances,
indicating
the
issues
may
be
developing
a
risk
screener
specifically
designed
to
red
flag.
Those
behaviors
would
be
needed.
The
assessment
tools
identified
this
bill
are
not
not
universal
screeners,
as
indicated,
but
are
comprehensive
assessments
to
identify
student
levels.
Considerations
should
be
made
for
the
use
of
a
more
widely
used
universal
screening
process.
D
Your
basic
identification
of
potential
risk
factors
using
universal
screening
through
a
multi-tiered
system
of
support
framework
or
mtss
goal-based
team
members
can
operate
within
the
scope
of
their
license,
and
students
can
still
receive
the
support
they
need.
Those
students
who
are
identified
as
requiring
comprehensive
clinical
evaluations
and
resources
beyond
what
the
school
is
able
to
provide
can
still
be
referred
to
an
outside
mental
health
professional,
as
outlined
in
bdr6,
for
more
intensive
supports.
D
A
G
Thank
you.
I
just
have
a
really
brief
question:
could
you
elaborate
on
who
is
a
part
of
these
school
interventional
teams
and
your
suggestion
please.
D
Katie
duckweather
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
every
district
and
every
school
will
have
different
procedures
as
to
who
is,
and
who
is
a
team
member
on
that
you
have
three
school-based
mental
health
providers.
You
have
your
school
psychologists,
you
have
your
school
counselors
and
your
school
social
workers
and
all
are
licensed
to
do
slightly
different
things.
D
G
If
I
just
say
review
for
the
record,
yes,
although
I
do
have
a
follow-up,
I'm
just
wondering
what
you
believe
the
I
guess
the
variability
would
be
between
schools
who
have
different
types
of
or
differently
equipped,
school
psychologists
and
other
members
of
their
interventional
team.
D
Katie
dockweiler
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Certainly
capacity
and
is
going
to
be
could
be
an
issue,
but
I
think,
with
clear
process
and
procedures
for
what
the
requirements
are
of
that
team
to
conduct.
I
think
that
you'll
have
better
alignment
across
the
schools
and
across
the
districts
in
terms
of
implementation.
B
D
Certainly
your
three
school-based
mental
health
professionals.
If
your
school
has
the
capacity
to
provide
them,
for
example,
in
clark
county
every
I
shouldn't
say,
every
the
majority
of
schools
have
an
assigned
school
counselor,
most
have
school
social
workers
or
safe
school
professionals
who
can
assist
with
some
aspects
of
this.
This
type
of
work
and
school
psychologists
are
split
between
two
or
three
schools,
so
you
can
see
the
variability
in
expertise
also
in
the
amount
of
time
they
can
contribute
to
such
efforts,
given
how
spread
than
we
are.
D
For
example,
school
psychologists
have
a
ratio
about
one
to
twenty
two
hundred
in
the
state,
and
it's
recommended
we'd
be
at
one
to
five
hundred,
so
the
the
time
of
the
expertise
may
be
spread
out
differently
depending
on
what
profession
it
is,
but
certainly
those
those
three
school-based.
Mental
health
providers
can
be
team
members
and
an
administrator,
certainly
to
ensure
that
the
work
is
reinforced
and
anybody
else
on
that
team
who
can
be
supportive.
A
Thank
you
so
much
miss
stockweiler.
It
appears
as
if
mr
nicholas
nicholas
chipak,
has
a
question
regarding
vdr6
for
your
test
one.
So
you
can
ask
the.
H
Question
sorry,
I
don't
have
a
question
on
that
testimony,
I'm
just
here
to
testify
on
bdr
13.
However,
we,
after
hearing
the
presentation
of
the
bill,
if
I
have
the
time
to
make
a
quick
comment
from
our
office
on
bdr6,
we
would
like
to
do
so.
I
just
don't
know
if
that
is
allowed
in
this
form.
A
Senator
can
he
ask
his
question
after
I
mean
say
his
comment
after
everyone's
done
asking
questions.
C
Yes,
we
can
because,
as
you
noted,
we
invited
a
minimum
of
witnesses
for
each
one,
but
if
others
make
themselves
available
to
testify
on
either
of
the
measures.
That
would
certainly
be
welcome.
A
In
that
case,
moving
forward,
we
will
have
the
youth
legislators
put
their
name
in
the
comment
in
the
chat
section
so
that
I
can
call
on
you
if
you
have
any
questions,
but
as
of
right
now
does
any
youth
legislator
have
a
question
for
the
testimony.
A
Okay,
it
appears
that
we
do
not
have
any
more
questions.
Somebody
asked
to
go
next
to
testify
for
bdr6,
I'm
not
sure
who
it
is,
but
whoever
wanted
to
go.
Second,
please
identify
yourself
and
spell
out
your
name,
and
you
may
testify.
I
Good
afternoon
this
is
christy
mcgill
from
the
department
of
education,
c-h-r-I-s-t-y,
mcgill,
m
c
capital
g.
I
l
and
thank
you
so
much.
We
I'm
very
honored
to
be
here
today.
The
department
of
education
is
neutral
on
this,
but
we
do
have
a
few.
I
My
first
suggestion
is:
I
want
to
open
with
gratitude,
and
that
is
because
our
generation
has
been
trying
to
do
something
like
this
for
a
long
time,
but
we
have
gotten
mental
health
wrong
many
many
times
and
so
in
the
80s
and
90s
and
on
up
we
saw
a
lot
of
people
get
in
trouble
because
of
mental
health
issues,
and
so,
if
you
see
people
in
my
generation
kind
of
get
scared,
when
you
talk
about
these
things,
it
is
because
we've
messed
up
in
the
past
and
criminalized
mental
health,
and
so
your
leadership-
and
I
think
this
is
the
generation
to
do
it-
to
show
how
mental
health
doesn't
have
to
be.
I
Stigmatized
is
really
welcome
and
we're
really
grateful
that
you
guys
are
taking
the
lead
in
this.
I
think
you,
this
generation,
watching
you
guys
put
in
safe
voice
tips
that
are
loving
and
caring
about
your
friends
and
saying:
hey,
I'm
really
worried.
Can
you
make
sure
that
you
check
on
so
and
so
after
seeing
that
for
the
last
couple
years?
I
just
really
know
that
you
guys
are
the
generation
to
help
us
get
over
this
mental
health
bump,
and
this
is
one
of
them
right.
I
My
second
point
is
that,
after
the
stigma
that
you
guys
will
have
to
lead
us
through
that
the
there's
kind
of
three
types
of
screening-
and
I
just
wanted
you
guys
to
know
that
one
type
is
happening
right
now
in
your
nevada
schools,
and
that
is
the
type
that's
the
school
climate
surveys.
Each
district
is
doing
a
school
climate
survey.
I
It's
not
the
kind
of
screenings
that
you
guys
are
talking
about,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
see
it
in
the
big
package,
though
clark
county,
washoe,
county
and
all
the
school
districts
have
a
school
climate
survey
and
the
the
goal
of
that
survey
really
is
to
provide
a
snapshot
of
student,
mental
well-being
for
planning
purposes
and
to
ask
the
students
you
know:
how
are
they
feeling
about
what
is
their
perception
of
the
school
of
the
relationships
between
students
and
teachers,
and
it
even
goes
into
the
demographics
of
the
of
the
students
so
that
we
can
look
at
the
differences,
the
different
demographic
of
students
and
how
they
are
perceiving
the
climate?
I
The
other
piece
of
screening
is
exactly
what
you
guys
are
talking
about
and
that's
to
identify
individual
students
who
might
benefit
from
early
support,
though
these
things
just
like
just
like
ms
stockweiler
brought
up
beforehand,
should
be
a
universal
screening
and
not
necessarily
the
tools
that
have
been
identified
in
the
bill
as
it's
written
presently.
But
there
are
many
screeners
out
there
that
are
evidence-based.
That
can
do
exactly
what
you
guys
are
hoping
to
do.
I
Is
that
early
identification,
so
that
your
friends
and
colleagues
and
peers
can
get
the
help
they
need
sooner
rather
than
waiting
until
the
problem
gets
worse
and
the
last
type
of
screening
that
schools
use
and
some
schools
are
doing
this
and
some
schools
aren't-
and
I
should
have
put
that
last-
the
last
screening-
some
districts
are
already
doing
this,
and
and
some
schools
are
already
doing
this
and
some
are
not,
and
we
can
give
you
a
list
of
those
instruments
that
schools
are
using
currently,
and
the
last
way
is
to
consider
the
impact
of
early
and
support
targeted
interventions
so
that
this
tool
can
be
used
to
make
sure
that
not
only
are
we
identifying
students
but
we're
making
sure
that
the
interventions
that
are
happening
at
school
are
actually
making
a
positive
difference,
and
so
that's
the
third
type.
I
And
then
the
last
point
that
I
make
is
that
screening
is
part
of
a
holistic
system
just
like
when
you
plan
a
garden,
you
would
never
throw
a
seed
out
there
and
just
hope
it
works
right.
Screening
has
to
be
part,
so
you
till
the
soil
you
plant
the
seed,
you
water
it
all
that
stuff
same
thing
with
screening
is
that
you
have
to
make
sure
that
schools
and
districts
are
prepared
to
respond.
I
There's
nothing
worse
for
an
individual
to
finally
like
get
up
the
courage
to
say:
yes,
they
may
need
help
and
then
to
not.
Have
that
responded
to,
and
so
screening
is
part
of
a
bigger
system
that
we
call
an
integrated,
multi-tier
systems
of
support,
and
so
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
schools
and
districts
had
this
in
place
before
we
add
the
screening
component
to
it,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we
do
a
really
good
job
of
following
up
on
on
students
who
identify
or
through
the
screening
are
identified.
I
I
So
those
are
the
four
points
I
wanted
to
bring
up
for
you
guys
to
consider
today,
myself
and
my
team
are
here.
If
you
guys
want
further
information,
I'm
going
to
put
into
a
chat
a
document
from
samsha
that
really
talks
about
the
points
that
are
needed
in
the
school
before
screening
starts
that
I
thought
that
you
all
would
find
useful
I'll
put
that
in
the
chat
right
now.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
I
really
am
honored
to
present
in
front
of
you
all
today.
A
G
Youth
legislator
pieta
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
your
testimony.
So
you
talk
about
these
integrated
multi-tier
systems
and
I'm
assuming
teachers
are
a
part
of
that,
just
because
they're
such
an
integral
piece
of
a
school
into
a
student's
life
at
that
school.
G
I'm
wondering
what
your
opinion
is
on
the
responsibilities
we
already
give
teachers
and
whether
you
think
they
are
the
appropriate
ones
to
be
having
to
deal
with
kind
of
taking
care,
or
at
least
looking
after
a
student
more
after
their
diagnosis
or,
if
not
after
their
diagnosis
than
after
their
admittance
to
having
a
possible
problem.
I
Christian
mcgill
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
teachers
play
an
important
role
again.
They
are
an
integral
member
of
the
team.
So
if
you
think
about
teachers
need
teams,
just
like
students
need
friends
and
teams
as
well,
and
so
yes,
it's
the
it's
the
teacher's
primary
role,
but
many
time
it's
the
teachers
role
to
think.
I
Oh
something's,
not
quite
right
or
you
know,
christy
was
doing
really
well
and
all
of
a
sudden
she's
getting
all
f's
I'm
kind
of
concerned,
and
so
again
we
hope
that
the
teachers
know
how
to
reach
out
to
either
their
school
counselors
or
their
some
system
in
place
so
that
as
soon
as
that
teacher
starts
to
feel
like
they're
struggling
or
if
the
student
has
told
the
teacher,
because
they
have
a
good
relationship
that
they
are
struggling,
that
there
is
a
system
right
then,
and
there
to
support
both
the
two
teacher
and
the
student
to
make
sure
that
they
can
work
together
to
resolve
the
issue.
I
I
I
I
get
the
pleasure
of
talking
to
lots
of
teachers
and
they
really
do
love
their
students
and
they
really
do
have
a
lot
of
concern
for
their
students
and
so
having
these
systems
in
place
and
and
having
the
support
so
they're,
not
dealing
with
all
these
issues
by
themselves
is
really
important
to
teachers
as
well.
G
Okay,
thank
you.
I
do
have
a
follow-up
if
that's
okay,
with
the
chair,
okay
and
with
miss
mcgill,
so
it's
kind
of
two-parted,
I'm
thinking
about
a
counselor's
response
to
either
a
student
telling
them
they
have
a
problem
or
a
teacher,
letting
them
know
a
student
might
have
a
problem,
and
I
think
at
least
empirically,
like
what
we've
seen
in
the
past
is
probably
a
less
than
ideal
response
from
the
side
of
not
only
teachers
but,
more
importantly,
school
counselors.
G
I
Thank
you
for
your
question.
It's
christy
mcgill
for
the
record,
so
teachers
are
a
lot
like
students.
They
are.
They
have
a
lot
of
skills
and
and
differences,
so
you're
going
to
have
you're
going
to
have
some
teachers
that
are
really
comfortable
with
social,
emotional
learning
and
their
own
social,
emotional
learning
and
so
you're
going
to
have
teachers
that
are
very
natural
about
it.
You
know
they
can
connect
the
students,
they
have
no
problem
talking
about
this.
I
They
can
make
sure
the
counselor
or
school
psych
you
know
and
and
there's
that
system
and
that
teamwork
in
place.
When
is
when
a
teacher
feels
like
they're
all
by
themselves
in
the
classroom
or
may
not
feel
comfortable
themselves,
maybe
they
come
from
my
generation
where
we
didn't
do
a
very
good
job.
Talking
about
mental
health
issues
that
there
is
a
team
in
place
to
help
both
that
teacher
and
the
student
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
really
important.
We
can't
just
talk
about
student,
mental
health.
I
It's
a
it's
a
combined
approach
right,
it's
the
teacher
and
student,
mental
health
and
their
relationship,
and
so
to
have
a
team
for
that
teacher.
Who
may
not
feel
comfortable
around
talking
about
issues,
whether
it's
depression
or
suicide,
ideation
or
cutting,
or
something
of
that
sort,
that
there
is
a
place
or
a
designated
person
or
a
system
that
that
teacher
can
then
turn
to
and
get
that
kind
of
support
to
support
the
student
as
well.
I
So,
yes,
training
can
work,
but
you
also
need
the
coaching
and
the
system
to
support
the
teachers
as
well
and
and
again,
some
of
our
teachers
do
this
already
so
well
and
other
teachers,
you
know,
may
not
do
it
as
well
either
some
schools
have
a
really
strong
teamwork
and
so
that
the
teacher
knows
to
call
the
school
counselor
and
they
work
together
as
a
team
and
they
go
forward
and
other
schools
don't
have
that
set
up
yet.
G
Thank
you.
This
will
be
my
last
question
for
your
testimony,
but
so
I
totally
sympathize
with
the
idea
that
adults
also
have
mental
health
issues,
and
we
don't
know
what
their
experience
is,
but
considering
the
fact
that
at
least
in
school
environment
students
are
the
people
are
the
ones
going
to
adults.
If
adults
aren't
in
the
best
place,
at
least
for
the
moment,
even
after
training
or
coaching
or
whatever
it
may
be.
G
If
this
spill
would
effectively
go
ahead
and
clear
the
problems
that
we
already
see,
because
essentially
what
I'm
seeing
is
both
sides
can
have
problems
and,
if
we're
trying
to
achieve
a
more
mentally,
stable,
scholastic
environment,
how
would
we
go
ahead
and
do
that
with
this
spell
when
we
see
these
problems.
I
Yeah
christy
mcgill
again,
so
one
of
the
things
that
the
good
sides
of
screening,
if
it's
done
well,
could
be
a
formal
pause,
a
formal
place
that
we
are
all
going
to
like.
You,
know
just
kind
of
take
a
temperature
check
and
see
how
the
students
are
doing
and
so
that's
embedded
into
the
system.
I
The
other
thing
that
screening
does
well
is
that
we
have
some
kids
that
what
we
are
classified
internalizers
so
some
of
us
when
we
get
stressed
or
something
going
on
or
responding
to
trauma
right.
We
act
out,
we
may
yell,
those
are
the
externalizers
and
sometimes
those
students
get
help
sometimes
they're
disciplined,
which
is
you
know,
not
what
we
want
either.
But
screening
helps
those
kids
that
may
not
feel
comfortable
coming
forward
and
actually
voicing
screening
helps
those
internalizers.
I
And
so
that's
one
of
the
benefits
of
screening
is
that
it's
a
very
formal
and
systematic
way
to
like
kind
of
check
on
everyone,
especially
if
we
use
a
universal
screener,
and
I
know
that
we
have
my
friend
and
partner-
miss
devon
allen
here
and
she
can
tell
you
kind
of
what
the
districts
and
her
work
has
been
doing
and
they're
doing
some
screening
right
now
and
they
do
they
use
universal
screeners
or
you
know
some
of
their
products.
I
That
way,
and
so
those
are
the
two
of
the
things
that
I
think
screening
can
do
really
well
a
systematic
pause
to
kind
of
check
in
and
then
also
give
a
way
for
our
internalizers.
I
used
to
be
one
two
when
I
was
a
student
to
allow
them
to
have
voice
and
say
wait.
Second,
I'm
not
feeling
so.
A
A
The
next
person
that
will
be
presenting
a
testimony
for
vdr6
will
be
miss
pq
meeting,
so
you
may
state
your
name
spell
it
out,
and
then
you
may
write
your
testimony.
Thank.
J
J
I
also
work
in
washoe
county
school
district
in
the
counseling
department,
and
I
do
work
very
closely
with
some
of
my
other
partners
on
this
call:
katie
dockweiler,
christy,
mcgill,
misty
von
allen,
so
we
we
have
a
very
close
relationship
when
it
comes
to
supporting
and
advocating
for
school
mental
health,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
you
all
today.
I
think
it's
great
to
see
young
people
involved
with
the
legislative
process
and
advocating
on
behalf
of
student
mental
health.
J
It's
really
exciting.
So
first
I
want
to
say
I
want
to
give
you
some
information
from
the
nevada,
school
counselor
association
and
also
as
it
relates
to
school,
counseling
and
many
of
my
partners,
katie
dockweiler
and
christy
mcgill.
I
echo
many
of
their
statements
in
relation
to
working
with
multi-tiered
systems
of
support
and
having
more
kind
of
teams
that
are
available
to
help
with
some
of
this
work.
So
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen,
because
I
want
to
point
out
just
a
few
things
that
might
be
important.
J
So
the
first
thing
I
want
to
point
out
is
that
in
the
last
legislative
session
we
were
really
fortunate
to
work
with
senator
dondero
loop
and
my
other
school
mental
health
partners
for
school,
social
work
and
school
psychology,
and
we
do
have
a
bill.
It's
sb
319
that
kind
of
specifically
outlines
some
key
roles
and
responsibilities
as
it
relates
to
school
mental
health
professionals.
J
So
this
would
be
something
for
reference,
and
I
think
I
know
nevada
school
counselor
association
is
going
to
work
on
updating
some
of
the
language,
but
it
helps
to
kind
of
delineate
some
of
the
responsibilities
school
counselors
do
support
screening
within
like
an
interconnected
systems
framework
or
an
mtss
process.
It
wouldn't
be
the
responsibility
of
a
school
counselor
to
screen
and
per
our
licensing.
J
As
christine
mcgill
pointed
out,
there
are
different
kinds
of
screeners,
so
there
are
some
that
we
would
support
with
the
support
of
a
team
at
school
and
there's
some
that
are
much
more
clinical,
that
we
would
not
be
licensed
to
be
using.
You
know
per
our
role
as
a
school
counselor,
so
that
document
sb
319,
is
very
important
and
I
did
submit
a
couple
things:
the
role
of
the
school,
counselor
and
whoops.
J
Sorry
sure
I
just
have
a
couple
more
related
to
sorry.
It's
not
letting
me
click
on
the
other
tabs,
but
we
have
some
position.
Statements
from
the
american
school
counseling
association,
specifically
related
to
the
role
of
the
school
counselor
in
mental
health
and
role
of
the
school
counselor,
as
it
relates
to
multi-tiered
systems
of
support.
J
So
one
thing
that's
important
and.
J
Is-
and
it's
not
pulling
up
here-
sorry
I
have
to-
I
don't
know
how
to
get
the
screen
sharing
icon
off
the
top.
Here
we
go
so
this
document
here
is
really
important
and
my
partners
helped
work
on
this
it's
from
last
spring,
and
I
want
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
ratios
that
we're
looking
at
for
school
mental
health
providers
and
including
nurses,
because
you
did
put
them
in
the
bill
and
if
katie,
dockweiler
or
christy
mcgill
want
to
jump
in
at
any
time.
J
So
we
are
so
grateful
that
the
board
of
education
adopted
non-binding
ratios,
and
so
those
are
250
to
1
for
school
counselors,
the
same
for
school,
social
workers
and
then,
as
ms
stockweiler
pointed
out
earlier,
500
to
1
for
school
psychology
and
on
the
right-hand
side,
you
can
look
at
the
current
ratios.
These
are
averages,
so
these
will
vary
actually
significantly
depending
on
what
county
you
are
looking
in,
so
I'm
gonna
move
to
the
next
slide.
J
This
is
the
projected
staffing
needs
and
that
we
would
need
to
meet
the
appropriate
ratios,
and
so
you
can
see
we
would
need
1700
counselors
to
meet
the
you
know
best
practice
and-
and
it
goes
on
down
to
describe
school
psychologist
school
social
worker,
school
nurses
and
the
reason
I'm
pointing
this
out
is
because,
if
we
don't
have
the
ratios
now
we
currently
are
understaffed.
J
We
have
schools
without
these
professionals
in
the
state,
which
means
it
makes
it
very
difficult
to
just
do
the
work
you
need
to
do
to
get
done
in
general
and
so
to
put
a
push
a
bill
forward,
saying
that
a
school
counselor
would
need
to
screen
every
student.
J
This
shows
you
that
we
don't
have
the
capacity
or
the
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
do
those
things
and
now,
and
so
we,
like,
I
said
we
do-
support
the
advocacy
for
school
mental
health,
increasing
school
mental
health
services,
access
to
mental
health
in
the
community.
J
We
are
on
the
front
lines
every
single
day
working
with
students
and
families,
but
christy
mcgill
pointed
out
that
schools
need
to
have
the
infrastructure
and
the
capacity
be
to
be
able
to
handle
some
of
these
types
of
things.
Even
when
you're
just
looking
at
a
kind
of
a
regular
survey,
it
still
takes
a
lot
of
people
to
make
those
things
happen
and
then
there's
huge
ethical
obligations.
J
So
it
would
be
very
detrimental
if
we
were
to
have
large
amounts
of
students
and
not
be
able
to
refer
them
and
get
them
support
within
a
reasonable
amount
of
time.
J
So
I'm
just
bringing
up
a
couple
of
these
points,
because
I
really
want
you
to
know
what
we
need
just
to
provide
regular
services.
What
we
don't
have
so
nevada
school
counselor
association
would
be
opposed
to
this
pdr
as
it's
written
just
based
on
capacity
and
infrastructure.
J
Schools
are
doing
a
great
job,
and
schools
really
need
to
have
those
tier
one
universal
supports
in
place
as
they
relate
to
prevention,
social,
emotional
learning
before
anything
else
before
any
of
this
should
be
considered
and
we
do
have
schools
doing
a
great
job.
The
department
of
education
and
school
districts
are
doing
an
amazing
job,
getting
those
resources
and
training
trainings
into
the
hands
of
school
districts,
school
mental
health
professionals,
teachers
etc,
which
is,
in
my
opinion,
where
we
need
to
start.
I
can
give
you
a
story
about
capacity
right
now.
J
J
We
cannot
do
this
work
without
our
community
partners.
So
right
now,
the
washoe
county
school
district
partners
with
children's
cabinet.
We
have
17
middle
schools,
we
can
barely
get
this
work
done
and
that's
with
limited
capacity
and
the
help
of
our
partners,
so
everyone's
working
really
hard
and
but
I'm
just
that's
a
little
true
story
that
people
are
going
through
right
now
and-
and
so
I
welcome
any
questions
and
again.
J
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
and
is
that
nevada,
school
counselor
association
and
the
other
associations
for
school,
social
work
and
school
psychology
have
a
mental
health
collaborative
and
we
meet
regularly
with
the
department
of
education
because
we
are
working
towards
increasing
the
capacity
of
school
mental
health
staff
ratios
and
you
know
getting
access
for
students
and
support.
So
we
I
mean,
on
behalf
of
nbsc,
would
welcome
a
conversation.
J
Pat
sanborn
is
our
contact,
but
christy
mcgill
can
always
connect
you
as
well.
So
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
wrap
it
up
with
that,
and
I
welcome
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
A
Thank
you
so
much
miss
clean
for
your
testimony.
If
any
youth
legislator
has
any
questions
for
miss
kielman,
please
go
put
your
name
in
the
chat.
It
appears
that
youth
legislator
carver
will
be
presenting
the
first
questions.
B
Youth
legislator
cover
for
the
record.
This
is
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question,
but
I
live
in
washoe
county
and
I
was
screened
through
the
children
cabinet
program
sos
in
seventh
grade,
and
I
did
counseling
with
sos
for
almost
two
years.
B
But
one
of
the
things
that
happened
is
I'm
privileged
enough
that
I
was
able
to
move
to
a
private
counseling
location
and
I've
actually
have
friends
who
have
not
been
able
to
be
in
sos
because
they're
at
full
capacity-
and
I
can't
even
imagine
what
it
would
be
like
for
people
living
in
rural
places
like
guanamata.
They
don't
have
the
mental
health
services
to
even
facilitate
this
kind
of
program.
J
Yeah,
I
think
you're
you're
right
we
and
you're
right.
It
does
come
down
to
district
capacity.
Ms
stockweiler
mentioned
that
as
well.
Districts
have
access
to
different
things.
We
have
been
extremely
fortunate
in
washoe
county
to
partner,
with
a
community
agency
just
to
offer
suicide
prevention
for
middle
schools
and
screening,
but
the
rurals
have
a
much
different
access.
J
A
E
Thank
you,
chair,
helen
miscall
and
your
legislator,
for
you
for
the
record.
My
question
is:
what
is
the
suicide
prevention
laws
you're
doing
up
there
in
washoe
county,
because
I'm
getting
this
information
off
of
nevadasuicideprevention.org?
It's
a
suicide
from
2018.
Their
final
data
is
the
first
leading
cause
of
deaths
for
nevada
ends
between
12
and
19,
and
second
leading
cause
death
for
20
and
44,
and
it's
not
pulling
up
the
exact
numbers
for
me
on
what
it
is.
J
So
you
know
I
can
only
speak
for
for
washoe
county,
but
sb
204
is
a
senate
bill
related
specifically
to
suicide
prevention
for
students,
and
then
part
of
that
is
districts
create
policy
around
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
misty
wants
to
jump
in
to
talk
more
about
statewide,
but
it
that's
a.
I
mean
sb204
applies
statewide,
but
I
can't
speak
for
other
districts
and
their.
A
A
Okay,
it
appears
as
though
no
other
youth
legislator
has
a
question.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
you
again
for
your
testimony.
The
next
person
that
will
be
giving
a
testimony
regarding
ddr6
is
miss
susan
fisher.
So
you
may
give
your
testimony
after
saying
your
name
and
spelling
it
out.
Please.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
record
susan
fisher
s-u-s-a-n-f,
I'm
with
the
law
firm
of
mcdonald
carano-
and
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
hope,
means
nevada
today
and
we're
here
to
support
the
intent
of
your
bdr
number
six.
What
I
think
is
is
brilliant
about
what
ms
craig
and
mr
fournier
did
in
the
bill
is
that
you
did
not
make
it
a
mandate.
F
You've
said
that,
depending
on
the
availability
of
resources-
and
we
know
that
resources
are
very,
very
limited,
and
but
you
didn't
create
an
unfunded
mandate
with
this
bill,
so
hopefully
there
will
be
additional
resources,
and
the
good
news
is
is
that
next
month,
december
18th?
I
believe
it
is
at
the
next
legislative
commission
meeting
or
interim
finance
committee.
Excuse
me
they
will
be.
The
state
will
be
accepting
some
additional
cares
funds
to
go
into
these
sorts
of
programs
that
we're
talking
about
to
go
to
department
of
education
and
into
the
schools.
F
The
wonderful
thing
about
doing
a
bill
like
this
is
that
it
helps
raise
awareness
of
a
very
critical
issue
in
nevada
and,
as
has
been
stated,
suicide
is
the
number
one
cause
of
death
in
youth
and
it's
actually,
our
numbers
are
between
the
ages
of
11
and
19..
Just
recently
in
clark
county,
we
had
an
eight-year-old
commit
suicide,
so
it's
not
limited
by
age.
F
F
We
now
have
across
the
state
committees
that
meet
I'm
the
northern
nevada
co-chair
here
in
washoe
county
and
we're
working
very
closely
with
the
washoe
county
school
district
and
with
the
children's
cabinet,
and
they
do
have
some
wonderful
programs
and
they're
doing
everything
that
they
can
with
the
resources
that
they
currently
have
as
they
are
in
southern
nevada.
We
have
people
from
the
gaming
industry
involved
because
we
know
their
resources.
F
Lady
gaga's
foundation
has
jumped
in
to
help
with
this
and
has
provided
some
resources
and
some
funding
as
well,
and
just
this
last
weekend
we
did
our
first
festival,
which
unfortunately
was
a
virtual
festival,
but
I
think
that
the
nice
thing
about
it
is:
we
had
a
lot
of
younger
people
participating
in
it
because
it
is
virtual
and
we
had
we've
had
just
a
phenomenal
number
of
hits
on
our
facebook
page
and
on
youtube
and
our
twitter
feeds
and
we're
hoping
to
get
the
word
out.
F
We
have
established
now
a
teen
committee,
and
so
we
have
youth.
Like
the
youth
legislators,
we
have
youth
committees
who
are
reaching
out
to
other
youth
to
help
spread
the
word
and
ask
ask
five
people:
how
are
you
doing
today?
Do
you
need
some
help?
Do
you
need
to
talk
to
somebody
and
then
encouraging
them
to
talk
to
either
a
counselor?
F
A
A
Okay,
it
appears
as
if
there
are
no
questions
for
miss
fisher
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
testimony.
The
next
testimony
will
be
a
neutral
one
given
by
miss
misty
allen,
I'm
for
ddr6,
so
you
may
proceed
after
spelling
out
your
name.
A
K
Bdr6,
sorry,
you
guys
someone
had
muted
me
on
an
accident.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
K
K
I
started
in
suicide
prevention
in
the
90s
when
no
one
wanted
to
have
this
conversation
that
stigma
and
tablet
was
so
powerful,
but
over
the
past
few
years
because
of
your
youth
activism
being
able
to
reduce
that
stigma
and
talk
about
lived
experiences
has
shifted
this
conversation.
So
importantly,
I
wanted
to
address
youth
legislator.
Fournier
you
mentioned
data
from
2018
2017
as
well.
2018
is
our
most
recent
data
report,
so
the
legislation
that
passed
for
suicide
prevention
was
after
that
data.
K
So
hopefully
the
2019
legislation
will
make
an
impact
with
the
trainings
throughout
the
school
districts,
policies
and
procedures
for
intervention
prevention
and
postpension
and
recovery
for
students
teaching
faculty,
and
I
think
that's
my
biggest
point
here.
Christy
mcgill
mentioned
that
holistic
approach.
I
have
seen
screenings
gone
terribly
awry.
K
K
A
screen
can
give
a
student,
the
hope
and
possibility
for
help,
but
if
they
can't
get
into
that
treatment
or
whatever
help
that
might
be
for
weeks
or
even
months,
that
can
add
to
the
despair.
And
so
when
we
have
screened
in
the
past,
we
make
sure
all
adults
in
the
school
are
trained
in
how
to
have
this
conversation.
K
We
try
and
get
the
parents
and
families
in
to
a
room
for
training
which
is
really
difficult,
and
then
we
want
to
give
students
tools
as
well
to
help
themselves
and
others
so
there's
many
layers
of
preparation,
which
we
would
call
comprehensive
suicide
prevention
before
we
bring
the
screening
event
in.
I
think
the
beauty
with
the
department
of
education
and
multi-tiered
systems
of
support
is
that
they're
building
those
layers
to
wrap
around
crisis,
and
then
you
have
social,
emotional
learning
so
hopefully
we're
getting
those
early
early
interventions
before
people
get
to
that
place
of
crisis.
K
That's
ultimately
the
goal,
but
I
think
it
is
an
ethical
dilemma.
If
we
don't
have
access
to
that
health
care
and
youth
legislator
carver
you
you
mentioned
that
you
you
mentioned
friends
who
didn't
have
access
and
that's
heartbreaking
and
scary,
so
we
have
to
think
about
that
comprehensive
safety
net.
K
The
screen
is
that
end
point.
Hopefully,
parents
are
recognizing
friends
are
recognizing
the
signs
of
early
onset
mental
health
challenges
right.
That
would
be
our
ultimate
goal,
because
then
that
treatment
and
health
is
less
traumatic,
less
invasive.
So
I
think
the
multi-tip
system
systems
of
support
is
really
building
that
wonderful,
comprehensive
model.
K
I
don't
want
to
repeat
what
others
have
said,
so
I
wanted
to
concur
with
the
past
testimony
with
those
key
points
around
the
holistic
building,
our
workforce
would
be
crucial
moving
forward.
But
again,
I
appreciate
and
support
the
initiative
to
focus
on
mental
health
in
the
schools
and
in
the
community.
A
A
Chat:
okay,
it
appears,
as
there
are
no
more
questions.
I
don't
see
that
there
is
anyone
else
to
give
a
testimony
for
bdr6.
If
is
there
anyone
else
that
will
be
giving
any
testimonies.
H
N-I-C-K-S-H-E-P-A-C-K
with
the
aclu
of
nevada,
thank
you
for
having
me
one
thing
I
want
to
flag.
This
is
not
a
bill
that
our
organization
would
normally
testify
on
or
be
part
of
the
hearing.
However,
in
the
presentation
of
the
bill,
there
was
a
suggestion
that
school
resource
officers
would
be
giving
new
powers
the
power
to
do
these
assessments,
which
ms
dockweiler
explained
why
that
probably
would
not
be
possible.
H
However,
I
want
to
just
caution
the
youth
legislators
that,
if
you
were
to
propose
any
bill
in
any
realm
that
did
increase
contact
between
students
and
school
resource
officers
or
increase
the
powers
and
duties
of
school
resource
officers,
the
aclu
as
an
organization,
as
well
as
a
large
number
of
our
criminal
justice
reform
partners,
would
most
likely
show
up
in
opposition
to
at
least
that
part
of
the
language
in
any
legislation
I
mean
I,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
that,
and
otherwise
we
wouldn't
be
here
for
the
national.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
that
there
are
no
youth
legislators
do
with
questions.
Let
me
just
double
check
one
more
time:
okay,
there
are
no
youth
legislators
with
questions,
so
I
would
like
to
invite
you,
legislator,
craig
or
youth
legislator,
fournier,
to
make
a
final
statement
on
their
proposed
bdr
before
we
proceed.
E
E
The
pandemic
definitely
amplified
the
need
for
this
bill
to
be
in
effect,
and
I
wholeheartedly
believe
that
as
something
I'll
show
a
little
bit
later
with
someone
I
spoke
to
christine
mcgill,
the
school
climate
surveys
are
already
screenings
and
it's
a
snapshot
of
student
well-being,
which
I
also
believe,
because
if
we
can
get
an
idea
of
what
the
climate
is,
we
can
also
see
how
mental
health
is
being
affected.
By
what's
around
you,
we
should
also
look
into
more
ways
of
screening
and
training
and
possibly
using
the
universal
screening.
E
We
are
also
very
understaffed
and
need
more
people
working
as
counselors
or
school
psychologists
in
order
to
make
this
work.
But,
as
susan
fisher
pointed
out,
this
bill
is
possible
with
the
resources
available.
So
if
we,
if
it's
possible,
that
we
don't
get
to
have
everyone
within
the
year,
it
there's
going
to
be
no
ramifications
on
either
the
school
or
whatever
it
may
be.
Yes,
it'll
be
terrible
that
somebody,
some
students,
won't
be
able
to
be
screened,
but
it's
with
the
resources
we
have
available.
E
We
can't
ask
for
the
circumstances
that
we
get,
even
if
so,
we're
starting
to
get
more
and
more
resources
and
the
more
and
more
we
make
mental
health
issues
known
the
more
help
we
can
get
behind
it,
and
hopefully
we
can
eliminate
the
problem
that
mental
health
is
on
the
youth
and
with
the
pandemic.
We
are
all
stuck
at
home
and
it
has
toll
on
everyone
physically
and
mentally
10,
more
suicides
than
we've
had
last
year
and
11.
E
E
Hospital
kid
unit
tech,
tiffany
miller
about
this,
and
she
says
that
the
trigger
for
these
kids
is
the
isolation
at
home,
possibly
being
with
abusive
parents
and
just
being
isolated
at
home.
Without
the
outlet
of
schools
and
friends,
the
age
ranges
she
has
over
there
at
the
desert,
parkway
medical
or
mental
health
unit.
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
much
youth
legislator
fourier.
For
your
final
statement.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
both
you,
youth
legislator,
fourier
and
youth
legislator,
craig
for
their
proposal
before
we
continue.
Are
there
any
youth
legislators
that
have
any
questions
regarding
this
bdr?
A
Okay,
it
appears
that
youth
legislator,
carver,
has
a
question.
Legislator
carver
you
may
pursue.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
use,
legislator
carver
for
the
record
just
to
clarify
on
your
comment:
youth
legislator,
fournier.
You
said
that
a
little
bit
earlier,
I
don't
want
to
paraphrase,
but
I'm
gonna.
You
said
that
it's
big,
that
not
everyone
is
gonna,
get
the
same
level
of
treatment
that
it's
going
to
be
based
off
of
resources
that
are
available
to
schools
already.
B
So
are
we
going
to
be
leaving
esmerelda
county
out
in
the
dust
lyon
county
out
in
the
dust
where
their
students
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
resources
that
they
need
for
mental
health.
E
Legislator
40
for
the
record-
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
put
it
that
way,
just
because
I
want
to
be
able
to
get
to
all
the
counties
it's
just
we
may
not
get
to
the
entire
student
population.
Every
single
school
is
my
concern.
Is
I'd
like
to
get
everywhere
and
possibly
start
with
high-risk,
kids?
First,
possibly
that
obviously
won't
go
into
law
that
way,
but
I'd
like
to
save
as
many
lives
as
possible.
A
Thank
you,
legislator,
carver,
for
your
question
and
youth
legislative
forum
as
well.
It
appears
that
nobody
else
has
a
question
if
any
other
youth
legislators
have
a
question
regarding
this
bill,
please
speak
up
right.
A
Now:
okay,
I'm
seeing
as
there
are
no
more
questions
again.
Thank
you
so
much
to
everyone
who
testified
on
behalf
of
this
bill
and
thank
you
to
both
youth
legislator,
craig
and
fournier.
We
will
now
begin
the
hearing
on
the
second
proposal,
bdr
number
13,
which
would
require
all
workers
in
the
juvenile
justice
system,
including
without
limitation,
judges,
probation
staff
prosecutors,
public
defenders
and
school
resource
officers
to
take
trainings
on
implicit
bias
and
cultural
competency.
A
A
Melendez.
When
you
are
ready,
would
you
please
present
your
bdr.
B
B
I
know
we
both
have
the
best
intentions
in
mind
and
the
creation
behind
our
bill.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
greatly
appreciate
it
so
just
to
start
off
the
introduction
for
my
bill.
My
proposal,
bdr13,
is
not
only
a
bill
with
the
potential
to
create
enormous
change
within
our
state.
It
guarantees
it.
I
know
we
all
hold
the
well-being
of
our
fellow
youth
at
an
utmost
priority
and
keeping
the
youth
of
nevada
safe,
has
never
been
as
pressing
of
the
matter
as
it
is
in
our
current
political
climate.
B
Minority
youth
are
the
most
vulnerable
to
our
communities,
and
this
vulnerability
leaves
them
susceptible
to
discrimination
based
solely
on
the
race.
This
is
extremely
prevalent
within
our
current
juvenile
justice
system
in
clark,
county
black
and
brown
youths
make
up
76
of
all
juvenile
cases
referred
to
the
district
attorney's
office.
My
bill,
as
stated
previously
calls
for
mandatory
racial
and
cultural
competency
trainings
for
all
workers
within
the
system,
as
well
as
the
redaction
of
the
race
of
a
minor
from
a
police
report
when
made
available
to
a
prosecutor.
B
As
to
the
topic
of
funding,
which
was
something
that
was
mentioned
and
brought
to
my
attention
in
the
last
meeting,
a
comparable
concept
of
helping
our
nevadan
youth
is
restorative
justice,
so
community
organizations
here
in
nevada,
advocated
and
provided
the
framework
for
restored
justice
during
the
last
legislative
session
and
through
this
they
were
able
to
actually
implement
it
within
our
schools,
leading
to
our
nevada
and
you've
been
greatly
impacted
in
a
positive
way.
By
having
the
community
organizations
provide
this
framework
and
working
with
school
administration,
the
trainings
became
characteristically
a
pro
bono.
B
The
same
concept
can
be
applied
towards
the
implementation
of
the
trainings
required.
Within
my
bill.
The
state
of
nevada
spends
2.7
times
as
much
per
prisoner
as
a
school
student
and
with
less
students
in
the
system.
We
can
allocate
those
funds
towards
community
needs
that
were
mentioned
previously,
such
as
directing
attention
towards
mental
health
in
schools
or
providing
funding
for
school
staff.
B
This
is
the
office
of
juvenile
justice
and
delinquency.
Part
of
the
us
department
of
justice
themselves
support
this
in
a
research
paper
conducted.
They
said
that
workshops
modeled
after
sentencing
institutes
in
the
adult
system
should
be
held
for
juvenile
court
personnel,
and
these
workshops
would
promote
discussion
and
evaluation
of
decision
making
with
regard
to
minority
youth.
This
is
exactly
what
the
trainings
would
look
like,
as
called
for
by
my
bill,
and
also
by
withholding
the
defendant's
race
from
an
initial
report
provided
to
prosecutors.
B
The
potential
for
bias
based
on
superficial
factors
would
be
greatly
diminished
overall,
in
conjunction
with
the
aforementioned
trainings.
These
both
have
the
potential
for
providing
more
meaningful
assistance
for
our
minority,
youth
and
justice
system.
I'm
sure
we've
all
felt
discriminated
against
at
least
once
in
our
life
and
by
requiring
our
juvenile
justice
system
personnel
to
undergo
these
trainings.
We
are
able
to
reduce
the
amount
of
times
and
the
amount
of
youth
discriminated
against
within
our
state,
simply
because
of
their
waste.
A
A
E
B
In
terms
of
outsourcing,
some
of
the
most
notable
organizations
involved
make
the
road
nevada.
They
were
one
of
the
pioneers
for
introducing
restorative
justice
to
the
legislative
session
and
getting
involved
in
the
state,
and
they
are
just
as
involved
with
this
bill.
So
that's
just
an
example
of
one
of
the
many
organizations,
and
previously
one
of
the
representatives
from
the
aclu
for
your
bill
presentation
mentioned
that
they,
along
with
other
community
organizations,
are
also
heavily
involved
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
and
advocating
for
youth.
B
So
they
would
again
be
in
support
of
this
and
would
help
institute
the
framework
for
these
trainings.
A
Thank
you
so
much
again,
legislator
melendez.
It
appears
as
if
no
other
youth
legislator
has
a
question
regarding
your
bill
at
this
time.
So
I
would
just
like
to
invite
any
expert
who
is
ready
to
testify
on
vdr13
to
begin
at
this
time.
Please
stay
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record:
explain
who
you
are
representing
today
and
begin
your
testimony
when
you
are
ready.
L
L
L
K
K
B
Usually,
I
think
you're
gonna
have
to
reset
those
sharing,
because
I
know
usually
in
class.
We
have
to
do
it
that.
B
B
C
E
Yeah
we're
not
seeing
a
screen
share
anymore.
Can
you
go
ahead
and
try
to
re-share
your
screen?
Sorry
about
the
technical.
G
G
D
L
L
L
L
The
figures
that
I
had
shown
was
that
we
had
59
of
specifically
african-american
youth
that
come
through
for
what
we
call
a
direct
file.
Those
are
juveniles
that
are
actually.
L
I'm
sorry
that
are
actually
going
from
the
juvenile
system
to
the
adult
system,
based
on
certain
criteria
such
as
the
offenses
that
they
have
past
or
the
current,
and
that
and
their
age.
Usually
it's
the
age,
16
or
above.
L
Of
our
population,
black
youth
only
make
up
12
in
the
state
of
nevada,
so
to
have
59
that
are
actually
direct
filed.
That's
huge.
Some
of
that
I
do
believe,
occurs
because
of
implicit
bias.
Again,
it
does
not
mean
you're
racist.
It
is
a
way
that
we
use
information
to
determine
certain
things
about
people
to
identify
whether
they're
like
us
or
could
be
like
us.
L
L
There
are
many
studies
that
would
that
have
shown
that
implicit
bias
makes
a
difference
with
police
officers,
actually
picking
up
youth
of
color
going
through
the
juvenile
system
itself
at
all
levels.
From
the
time
they
are
detained
to
the
time
that
they
are
actually
have
a
disposition.
L
It
shows
that
if
you
understand
where
those
biases
come
from
you're
more
likely
to
confront
them
and
to
control
them
so
again,
I
would
like
to
say
I
would
like
to
be
in
support
of
this
bdr
having
the
training.
I
am
a
certified
trainer
so
to
use
legislator
melendez.
I
would
definitely
pro
bono
give
up
my
time
in
order
to
be
one
of
the
trainers
in
for
implicit
bias.
Training.
A
A
Okay,
it
appears
that
there
are
no
youth
legislators
who
have
a
question
for
the
testimony
at
this
time.
Will
the
next
expert
who
is
ready
to
testify
on
vdr13?
Please
begin
at
this
time
after
stating
and
spelling
your
phone
name.
M
This
is
bridget
duffy,
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
I'm
up
next,
but
I
will
definitely
jump
in
so
it's
bridget
duffy,
I'm
the
chief
deputy
district
attorney
in
charge
of
the
juvenile
division
for
the
clark
county
da's
office
and
my
name
is
spelled
b
as
in
boy
r.
I
g
d,
as
in
dog,
the
last
name
is
duffy,
which
is
d,
is
a
dog.
You
f,
frank,
evans
and
frank.
Why
and
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
youth
legislature,
I
am
so
proud
to
be
in
front
of
you
today.
M
I
don't
know
tenth
year
so
five
legislative
sessions
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
as
you
pick
a
bill
and
move
forward
through
the
session.
I
wanna
this
bill
again
is
in
two
parts.
So,
first
of
all,
with
regard
the
easy
part
for
me,
of
course,
which
I
support
in
completely
is
the
trading
portion.
M
We
in
clark
county
through
the
department
of
juvenile
justice
services,
implemented
an
implicit
bias
training.
We
call
it
24
7..
It
was
one
of
the
most
impactful
trainings
I'd
ever
taken.
It
was
three
days
and
after
I
took
it,
I
then,
and
it
had
every
single
one
of
my
prosecutors,
take
it.
It
changed
the
way
I
looked
at
cases.
It
changed
the
way
I
communicated
to
people,
and
I
I
had
a
very
difficult
case,
a
very
highly
charged
highly
emotional
case.
Out
of
our
overview.
M
M
I
I
don't
represent
the
kids
as
a
public
defender
would,
but
I
do
have
the
opportunity
to
not
only
look
at
community
safety
but
to
look
at
the
best
interests
of
the
children
that
are
across
the
aisle
from
me
and
my
prosecutors.
So
we
get
to
really
look
at
a
whole.
We
don't
just
have
a
one
one
vision.
We
get
to
look
at
the
whole
situation
and
try
to
help
and
rehabilitate
these
children,
but
but
that
implicit
bias,
training
that
I
went
through
came
at
right
just
the
right
time.
M
For
me,
because
you
know
in
dealing
with
victims,
you
deal
with
victims
all
different
types
of
victims,
but
but
this
was
a
very
emotional
case
and
I
had
a
great
mentor
through
it
from
the
naacp
and
she
she
kind
of
helped
me
along
the
way
as
well
in
in
helping
me
to
just
sit
back
and
listen,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
yelling
at
me
from
my
victims,
families
and
and
just
sitting
back
and
listening.
M
I
heard
the
message
she
just
kept
saying
listen
to
the
message
and
I
understood
I
came
to
understand
the
message
and
the
message
isn't
just
about
this
one
incident
that
happened
to
their
children.
The
message
is
about
decades
and
decades
of
being
held
down
and
held
back
and
not
feeling
like
the
justice
system
works
for
you,
so
so
that
that
implicit
bias
training.
My
entire
office
talks
about
it,
and
so
I
fully
support
it.
I
think
every
judge
needs
it.
M
I
think
the
department
of
family
services
on
the
social
work
side
need
it
because
I
think
that's
a
whole
nother
area
where
we
have
a
disproportionate
issue
with
minority
contact
on
our
foster
care
side.
I
also
oversee
those
cases
for
clark
county,
so
100
support
it,
and
I
know
in
clark
county.
M
The
juvenile
justice
system
is
already
implementing
it,
the
the
bigger
issue
or
where
I
see
a
more
difficult
issue
where
I
support
it
in
concept,
because
I
I
do
not
believe
we
look
at
race
in
charging
decisions,
but
just
to
understand
you
all
understand
the
process
of
how
a
case
comes
to
us.
I'm
going
to
use
an
example.
M
M
You'll
be
there
to
sell
your
your
old
iphone
11,
so
you
can
buy
the
12
and
the
individual
that
you
sold
them
to
pulls
the
gun
on
you
that
not
only
takes
the
iphone
takes
everything
else
in
your
possession
and
maybe
even
your
car,
the
identification
of
whoever
pulled
that
gun
on.
You
is
the
most
important
part
of
me
as
a
prosecutor
being
able
to
prove
a
case
beyond
a
reasonable
doubt,
and
not
only
that
I
would.
M
I
would
ask
my
colleague
my
good
colleague,
miss
jones
from
the
public
defender's
office
to
talk
about
how
the
identification
is
also
key
to
her
case,
to
defending
it
against
an
adjudication
of
a
juvenile
they
rip
apart
identification.
They
didn't
identify,
identified
the
alleged
delinquent
correctly,
so
identification
is
really
key.
Now
do
I
need
it
to
make
a
charging
decision?
No,
I
just
need
the
police
officer
to
articulate
that
there
was
a
positive
identification,
so
I
don't
need
it
necessarily
for
a
charging
decision.
M
It
gets
a
little
more
difficult
going
back
to
ms
jones
discussion
about
videos.
I
thought
she
was
going
to
go
down
this
path
of
when
we
make
charging
decisions.
Oftentimes,
I
get
videos
from
surveillance,
videos
right
from
the
7-eleven
robberies,
where
they're
holding
guns-
and
you
can
see
you
know-
they're
wearing
hoodies
or
now-
everybody's
wearing
a
mask
right.
So
we
get
all
that.
M
So
those
are
just
some
things
you
need
to
think
about
with
the
with
the
charging
decisions
again,
I
think
it
could
be
an
impact
as
much
on
the
defense
as
it
is.
For
us,
there
is,
without
a
doubt,
an
unbelievable,
disproportionate
minority
contact
issue
within
the
juvenile
justice
system.
I
will
never
deny
it.
I
am
working
really
hard
to
address
it
through
diversionary
programs.
M
M
So
any
juvenile
that
comes
into
our
booking
facility
has
to
make
a
certain
amount
of
points,
and
if
they
don't
make
those
points
they
leave
the
facility,
they
do
not
stay
the
night
in
jail
and
wait
to
see
a
judge.
So
that
is
an
instrument
that
is
used.
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
anything
except
the
charge,
their
prior
charges
and
whether
or
not
maybe
they
were
on
a
gps,
monitor
or
currently
on
probation.
M
So
there
are.
We
have
those
tools
already
in
place
to
try
to
create
this
colorblind
system,
but
as
part
of
fair
prosecution.
M
When
you
have
somebody
with
a
gun
pulled
in
their
face,
the
most
important
thing
to
me
is
that
we've
identified
the
right
person
and
and
that
that's
the
identifiers
are
in
that
police
report.
So
at
this
time
I
think
I've
said
pretty
much
enough.
I'd
love
to
take
questions.
If
you
have
any
and
give
you
my
expertise
around
this
area,
and
I
really
do
appreciate
being
invited-
and
I
do
look
forward
to
your
futures.
A
Thank
you
so
much
miss
duffy
for
your
testimony
for
bdr13.
If
any
youth
legislator
has
a
question
regarding
the
testimony,
please
put
your
name
in
the
chat
or
you
can
just
speak
up.
A
Legislator,
you
may
proceed
with
your
question.
G
Youth
legislator,
beta
for
the
record,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
testimony
to
your
knowledge.
Do
you
know
any
logistical
difficulties?
The
police
departments
that
we
have
would
have
with
going
ahead
and
redacting
their
race
from
the
courts
for
us
and
then
putting
them
back
when
you
need
them.
M
Outside
oh
bridget
duffy
for
the
record,
and
thank
you
for
the
question
you
legislator
bieda,
outside
of
possibly
fiscal
issues,
because
now
you're
double
you're,
doing
double
duty
and
having
them
the
person
power
to
do
that,
because,
right
now,
the
police
just
either
electronically,
send
it
to
us
or
drop
off
packets
or
when
they
go
into
when
they
arrest
a
child
and
take
the
child
to
the
juvenile
detention
facility.
They
type
everything
up
there.
M
They
need
some
sort
of
redacting
program
like
I
like
we
use
for
discovery
on
my
child
welfare
side.
So
I
have
a
program
that
takes
out
social
security
numbers
and
things
from
department
of
family
services
notes.
So
we're
not
handing
that
type
of
information
out,
but
they
would
have
to
get
programming.
M
They'd
have
to
have
the
people
to
go
through
and
put
everything
in
to
to
decide
what
comes
out
and
what
doesn't
when
what
stays
in
so
outside
of
really
that
logistical
issue
of
a
potential
fiscal
note
on
your
bill
for
police
departments.
To
have
to
do
that.
A
For
your
comments,
thank
you,
youth
legislator,
vieda
for
the
question
and
thank
you,
miss
duffy
for
answering
it
do
any
other
youth
legislators
have
any
questions
regarding
the
bill.
At
this
time
I
mean
regarding
the
test
one
in
my
apartment.
A
Okay,
it
appears
as
though
there
are
no
other
youth
legislators
that
have
questions
regarding
the
testimony
again.
Thank
you
so
much
duffy
for
your
testimony.
The
next
person
that
will
be
testifying
for
bdr13
is
saba
w.
So
when
you
are
ready,
please
spell
out
your
name,
and
you
may
proceed
with
your
testimony.
B
So
recently
I
had
to
give
a
police
witness
report
for
a
crime
that
was
committed
in
my
community.
My
friends
and
I
talked
to
multiple
police
officers
and
detectives
about
the
crime,
and
when
I
was
giving
my
report
to
the
detective,
I
experienced
multiple,
racially
biased
assumptions
when
asking
about
our
whereabouts.
The
detectives
assumed
that
my
friends
and
I
were
involved
in
a
drug
exchange.
Little
did
he
know
we
were
actually
on
the
way
to
go
to
the
library
to
study
and
complete
college
applications.
B
B
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
mr
testimony.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
regarding
her
testimony,
please
do
your
name
in
the
chat
and
you
will
be.
B
My
question
was
for
the
last
testimony,
but
I
don't
have
any
questions
for
this
testimony.
A
Okay,
sorry,
I
missed
your
it's
okay,
okay,
are
there
any
other
man
and
chair.
C
A
Okay,
let
me
ask
you
a
question:
if,
on
the
call.
A
B
Ask
especially
for
the
record,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
simply:
how
would
you,
how
would
you
see
this
implementation
into
the
justice
system
going
like
if
we
were
to
go
forward
and
it
would
be
passed?
How
would
you
be
able
to
see
this
going?
Would.
M
M
W
a
you
know:
white
female
wfa,
white,
female
adult
right,
that's
what
it'll
say
so
suspect,
white,
female
adult
and
then
it'll
have,
like
you
know.
5'4,
I
won't
say
I
won't
guess
a
weight,
but
anyway
I'll
just
go
so
that
that's
what
a
police
report
says.
M
So
implementation
would
mean,
it
would
say
you
know,
suspect,
wearing
a
a
black
jacket
and
a
black
face
mask
with
brown
eyes
and
long
brown,
hair
pulled
a
gun
and
stuck
it
in
my
face.
So
it
wouldn't,
it
wouldn't
have
whatever
the
color
of
my
hand,
or
my
forehead
was
basically
whatever
identifiers
the
victim
could
give.
It
would
just
not
be
in
that
police
report
when
I
when
and
I've
charged.
I
mean
I've
been
doing
this
for
20
years,
so
so
that
identifier
of
who
did
it.
M
You
know
whether
it's
a
white
female
adult
is
relevant
to
me
when
I
go
down
through
the
police
report
and
they
they
say.
You
know
we
made
contact
with
a
woman
with
long
dark
hair
and
a
black
jacket
in
the
neighborhood,
and
we
get
to
show
up
with
the
victim,
so
the
victim
comes
and
they
look
at
me
and
they
say
yep
she's,
the
one
who
did
it.
So
that's
where
it's
relevant.
M
She
now
has
identified
me
the
person
who
pulled
the
gun
and
so
and
I
fit
that
original
description
of
the
call
to
the
police
officer.
There
was
a
white
female
adult
and
a
black
jacket
with
long
dark
hair
who
pulled
a
gun
on
me,
so
that
identifier
is
that
significant
part?
That's
the
charging
decision.
M
M
Even
some
of
you,
like
I'm
like
you're,
not
an
adult
like
we've,
lost
the
concept
of
of
you,
know:
17
18
year
olds,
look
like
20
to
25
year
olds
now,
so
a
lot
of
our
juveniles
are
actually
most
of
the
time
identified
as
adults
somewhere
somebody
between
the
ages
of
17
and
22.,
and
then
they
may
end
up
being
almost
16.,
so
that
identifier
missing
when
I
charge,
isn't
a
big
deal.
M
But
what
becomes
a
big
deal?
Is
we
have
to
get
that
identifier
in
order
to
prosecute
the
case
and
for
the
defense
to
defend
the
case?
So
they
can
say
they
totally
misidentified
the
perpetrator,
alleged
perpetrator.
So
I
just
see
it.
I
see
it
as
potentially
delaying
cases
because
you
have
to
redact
and
then
I
have
to
go
back
to
the
police
department
to
get
it.
M
I
have
to
turn
over
that
discovery
to
the
defense
attorneys,
so
it
may
delay
the
system
if
I
have
to
get
the
paperwork
back
and
forth
and
we
definitely
don't
want
delays.
We
work
in
a
very
expedited
system
because
we
don't
want
children
sitting
and
waiting
for
services
longer
than
they
have
to
so
I
mean
as
far
as
me,
not
having
it.
When
I
make
a
decision
on
whether
or
not
to
charge
a
crime
or
delinquent
act,
it's
not
relevant
to
me,
but
it
is
when
it
comes
to
prosecution
and
defending
the
case.
M
A
Thank
you
so
much
ms
duffy.
Thank
you,
youth
legislator,
for
your
question.
N
Michael
wilhelm,
oh
sorry
is
this
for
the
next
speaker
or
use
legislator.
I'm
sorry.
N
H
Thank
you
good
afternoon
chairwoman
and
youth
legislators.
My
name
is
nick
schepeck,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
aclu
of
nevada,
to
testify
in
support
of
bdr13.
H
H
H
Black
and
brown
youth
are
more
likely
to
come
into
contact
with
police
and
receive
harsher
punishments
than
their
white
counterparts
for
similar
crimes.
Racial
disparities
of
juveniles,
who
are
tried
as
adults
mere
and
are
actually
greater
than
those
that
receive
police
referrals.
With
almost
59
of
all,
you
tried,
as
adults
being
black
a.
H
Project
found
that,
among
among
youth
black
youth
are
4.1
times
more
likely
to
be
committed
to
secure
placements.
That
means
juvenile
detention
facilities,
then
whites
indigenous
use
are
3.1
times
as
likely
and
latinx
views
are
1.5
times
as
likely.
Although
levels
of
youth
confinement
have
significantly
declined
in
recent
years,
the
racial
gap
between
black
and
indigenous
versus
white
youth
has
actually
increased
any.
H
Curb
these
racial
disparities
in
our
state
should
be
supported,
while
the
aclu
of
nevada
fully
supports
mandatory
implicit
bias
training.
We
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
only
a
first
step.
The
minneapolis
police
department
had
been
mandating
this
type
of
training
for
years,
leading
up
to
the
death
of
george
floyd
training.
Training
alone
will
not
end
systemic
racism
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
H
These
trainings
must
also
be
evidence-based
and
regular
a
judge
or
prosecutor,
or
anyone
in
the
criminal
justice
system
should
not
be
able
to
take
a
single
training
and
then
practice
for
years
with
no
follow-up
training.
There
should
also
be
clearly
repercussions
if
trainings
are
not
attended.
The
aclu
nevada
also
supports
the
redaction
of
race.
At
the
time
charging
decisions
are
to
be
made
as
long
as
that
racial
data
becomes
available
to
the
defense
and
the
prosecution,
as
well
as
the
public.
Once
charges
have
been
put
up.
H
H
H
H
H
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
much,
mr
pack,
for
your
testimony
in
support
of
bdr13.
A
If
there
are
any
youth
legislators
that
have
any
questions
regarding
the
testimony,
please
hear
your
name
in
the
chat
or
you
may
also
have
youth
legislative
carver.
You
can
proceed
with.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
legislator,
carver,
for
the
record
so
nicholas
you
mentioned
san
francisco
how
they've
already
employed
some
of
the
things
mentioned
in
this
bill
and
with
what
level
of
certainty
or
what
positive
results
have
they
gotten
from
their
legislation?
If
you
know.
H
Right
so
this
is,
this
is
newly
implemented.
We
do
not
have
enough
data
to
track
the
results
of
whether
or
not
disproportionate
sentencing
has
gone
down
yet.
H
Created
a
program
that
would
adapt
all
identifiable
information
which
their
current,
the
very
progressive
individual
believes,
is
going
to
be
extremely
helpful.
There's
neighborhoods
in
san
francisco,
such
as
hunter's
point
and
the
tenderloin,
where
we
have
seen
large
disparities
in
sentencing
as
opposed
to
the
more
wealthy
areas
and
even
the
removal
of
the
zip
codes.
B
A
You
so
much
for
your
insightful
answer:
youth
legislator,
bieta.
You
may
now
proceed
with
your
question
for
the
test
month.
G
Youth
legislator,
for
the
record,
on
the
same
note
talking
about
san
francisco,
so
we
all
understand
that
it
was
done
with
a
certain
type
of
technology
from
at
least
my
understanding.
I'm
understanding
that
this
type
of
technology
is
likely
more
complex
than
anything
nevada
has
to
your
knowledge.
G
Do
you
think
nevada
can
one
adapt
the
same
technology
or
two
going
off
of
richard
duffy's
response
talking
about
how
a
lot
of
this
would
be
done
manually
either
because
of
mess-ups
or
just
because
of
people
necessitating
or
like
the
necessitation
of
checking
these
reports
do
you
feel
like
because
nevada
is
likely
not
up
to
pace
with
that
technology
that
this
would
still
be
feasible
to
do.
G
H
Do
I
do
believe
that
you
you'd
have
a
better
chance
of
passing
this
legislation
and
getting
support
from
both
sides
if
you
allowed
for
time
for
the
implementation,
this
should
not
be
like
many
bills.
That
just
starts
on
july
1st,
and
everyone
has
to
have
this
technology
and
be
ready
to
implement
it.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
rolling.
I
think
you
can
start
with
certain
counties,
larger
counties
such
as
clark
county,
which
would
have
a
much
larger
capacity
to
implement
this
than
our
girls.
H
Statewide
we
could
require
it
could
have
a
rolling
enrollment
into
the
program
over
a
series
of
years,
because
you're
right
we're
not
san
francisco.
We
are
not
the
tech
mecca.
This
will
take
more
time
and
energy
than
it
has
for
them.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
as
if
there
are
no
more
questions,
will
the
next
expert
on
giving
the
testimony
regarding
bdr13,
please
date
and
spell
out
your
name
and
then
you
may
proceed
with
your
testimony.
N
M-I-C-H-A-E-L-W-H-E-L-I-H-A-N,
I'm
assistant
director
of
juvenile
justice
in
clark
county
nevada.
So
I
was
asked
today
to
speak
on
some
of
the
training
requirements
that
clark
county
requires
its
juvenile
probation
officer
so
more
to
add
some
clarity
to
some
of
the
things.
N
Nrs
289.510
requires
training
and
racial
profiling,
mental
health,
the
well-being
of
officers,
implicit
bias,
the
escalation
human
trafficking,
so
the
state
also
has
a
juvenile
justice
oversight.
Commission
that
is
part
of
the
legislation
and
is
currently
in
full
swing.
So
it's
creating
new
and
exciting
things
for
us
to
do
with
our
department.
N
One
was
the
implementation
of
caseload
pearl,
which
is
a
tyler
technology
to
replace
our
old
data
system
and
every
jurisdiction
in
the
juvenile
justice
jurisdiction
in
the
state
of
nevada
uses
this
system.
N
N
We
have
trauma
informed
care
that
we
have
to
have
controlling
behaviors
youth
rights,
suicide
awareness
and
prevention,
the
health
and
safety
welfare
and
civil
rights
of
children
lgbtqi
as
well,
and
racial
and
ethnic
disparities,
so
miss
duffy
also
did
bring
up
the
fact
that
we
went
above
and
beyond
what
we
were,
what
were
required
to
by
state
law
and
by
the
justice
oversight
commission.
So
three
years
ago
we
reached
out
to
denver
police
department
because
they
had
just
got
done
with
a
department
of
justice.
They
were
under
an
investigation.
N
They
they
finally
got
out
of
the
the
mess
that
they
were
in.
They
had
to
do
certain
trainings
and
create
new
protocols
and
stuff
like
that,
so
we
went
up
there
to
see
it
was
recommended
that
they
were
doing
a
good
job
with
the
implicit
bias
and
communication.
Some
of
the
other
things
are
one
of
the
leading
police
agencies
in
the
country
when
it
comes
to
those
type
of
things,
so
we
went
up
there.
N
Several
of
our
staff
went
up
there.
They
really
enjoyed
the
training
we
paid
to
bring
that
training
down
here.
So
we
we
bought.
We
bought
the
curriculum
and
then
we
had
the
master
trainer
come
down
here
which
changed
the
curriculum
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
community,
so
the
needs
of
and
based
on
our
services
and
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
here.
So
we
brought
that
down
and
we've
been
doing
that
training
for
about
three
years
now
and
it
includes
topics.
N
Sir
robert
appeals
tonight,
principles
of
law
enforcement-
it,
which
is
a
basic
principle-
that's
even
taught
in
college
still.
Today
it
was
from
the
early
1800s.
So
I
would
suggest
you
guys
read
that
it's
more
of
the
way
how
police
should
interact-
and
I
say-
should
interact
with
the
community
and
not
the
way
that
sometimes
that
they
do.
N
N
Excuse
me:
community
engagement,
trauma,
informed
care
and
social
justice
issues,
though
our
department
has
recognized
a
lot
of
these
things
and
we've
been
making
huge
steps.
We've
offered
this
training
as
the
d.a
ms
stuffy
said
that
we've
offered
it
to
the
d.a,
the
pd
we've
offered
it
to
all
the
law
enforcement
agencies.
Now,
as
not
all
of
them,
have
taken
part
in
it,
but
it
has
been
offered.
N
So
we
have
master
trainers
that
can
train
other
departments
if
they
were
if
the
intent
of
the
bill
was
to
get
people
to
train
their
own
departments
or
they
could
come
learn
from
us,
so
we'd
be
a
willing
partner
in
this.
We
just
want
you
to
understand
kind
of
this
things
that
we're
already
doing,
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
already
mandated
by
us
by
the
state
and
by
legislation.
N
Some
of
it
is
already
in
this
bdr,
so
I
think
some
of
the
things
could
be
cleaned
up
to
show
that
we
already
include
that
we're
already
using
we
miss
duffy
talked
about
a
screening
instrument.
Instrument
is
based
on
on
the
crime.
So
you
get
points,
so
it
takes
all
the
bias
out
the
implicit
bias-
and
we
also
the
entire
state,
is
using
the
youth
level
assessment
to
screen
kids
based
on
the
risk
and
needs,
and
so
it's
it's,
it's
a
nationwide
best
practice
being
used
throughout
the
entire
country.
N
So
we
just
implemented
it
within
the
last
six
months.
We
don't
have
data
on
that.
Quite
yet,
but
we're
creating
we've
got
a
data
team
that
we
just
started:
we're
looking
at
things
of
age,
race,
ethnicity,
gender,
we're
even
looking
at
zip
codes,
we're
even
looking
at
our
officers
who
would
be
doing
the
most
like
violation
of
probations.
N
Most
of
our
work
is
brought
to
us
by
police
departments,
but
often
we
still
can
have
a
negative
impact
on
children
too,
if
we're
violating
them
for
things
that
we
shouldn't
be
violating
children
for
so
so
we've
looked
at
ourselves,
we're
not
blaming
police,
you
know
so.
We've
looked
at
our
own
and
so
some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
here
in
the
future
we
actually
paid
for
the
robert
f
kennedy
foundation
to
come
and
do
a
retool
of
probation.
N
We're
in
the
last
you
know,
six
months
of
finishing
up,
modernizing
the
way
that
we
approach
things
and
with
implicit
bite
is,
is
a
a
huge
factor
in
it
so
and
we
will
be
using
data
to
determine
you
know
what
we're
doing
right,
what
we're
doing
wrong
and
we're
looking
at
recidivism,
not
just
when
they
get
off
probation,
but
we're
looking
at
two
three
years
later.
You
know,
when
they're
young
adults,
to
see
if
the
programs
we're
offering
are
effective.
N
So
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
juvenile
justice
clark,
county
juvenile
justice
department
of
juvenile
justice
is
doing
so.
I
just
want
to
give
you
guys
information
to
clarify
some
of
the
stuff
that
we're
already
doing,
and
you
guys
are
amazing
people.
I
mean
what
you're
doing
I
you
know
I
work
with
kids,
so
you
know
seeing
young
people
looking
at
some
of
the
the
issues
that
they're
facing
not
nationally
even
locally
with
some
of
the
suicide.
N
Those
those
are
things
that
we
deal
with
that
on
a
daily
basis.
You
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
you
know.
I
have
children
that
live
in
this
community
and
also
have
children
that
I
work
for
you
know
that
you
know
I
have
a
lot
of
good
staff
that
very
diverse
workforce.
N
That
really
puts
children
for
first
and
I'm
not
saying
there's
not
issues
within
that,
because
they're
they're
always
will
be
and
we're
doing
our
best
to
minimize
points
where
people
with
decisions
can't
make
some
of
those
decisions
anymore.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
testimony
regarding
bbr13.
If
there
are
any
youth
legislators
that
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to.
Please
chat.
I
have
a
quick
question
regarding
your
testimony.
A
My
question
is:
how
have
the
mandates
that
are
already
in
place
help
eliminate
implicit
bias
or
help
decrease
the
number
of
youth
of
color
getting
discriminated
against
in
the
justice
system?.
N
Well,
there
there's
there's
a
lot
of
it's
it's
a
big
system
so
when
you're
you're
talking
about
the
the
points
of
contact
so
for
us
when
it
comes
to
a
kid
coming
in
and
out
of
our
detention
center,
we're
looking
at
that
too,
actually
on
a
national
phone
call
with
a
group,
that's
trying
to
create
a
new,
a
new
detention
instrument.
N
Ours
is
pretty
similar
to
what
they
were
using.
So
I
met
with
a
group
nationally,
a
private
group
that
wants
to
improve
the
way
that
the
outcomes
for
children,
and
especially
me,
we're
all
for
that.
So
anything
that
can
make
us
do
a
better
job.
Ours
is,
ours
is
pretty
good
and
our
population
has
gotten
lower.
I
know
the
gentleman
from
the
aclu
has.
N
He
did
mention
that
so
we've
done
our
best
to
lower
the
population
and
the
kids
that
are
getting
detained
or
more
based
on
on
charges
and
judicial
orders,
not
probation.
So
we
have
made
an
impact
when
it
comes
to
violations
of
probations
and
things
of
that
nature.
We
don't
have
the
data,
yet
we
just
switched
a
new
system
in
february,
so
we'll
have
more
of
that
data
coming
up
soon
and
we
just
like.
N
I
said
we
implemented
the
yls,
which
is
takes
a
lot,
the
implicit
bias
out,
because
it's
a
test
and
and
you're
gathering
facts
and
it's
limiting
what
what
happened
in
probation
before
was
you
set
a
kid
up
for
failure,
because
you
get
a
kid
that
would
get
in
court
and
you
would
just
give
these
automatic
orders
like
drug
counseling.
You
know
community
service.
N
Well,
if
the
kid
doesn't
need
those
things,
you're
setting
a
kid
up
for
failure,
because
if
you
have
too
many
orders,
we
know
that
children
have
other
needs
that
need
to
be
put
first
and
those
things
shouldn't
be
so
we're
limiting
our
orders
to
the
three
or
four
yeah
and
so
yeah.
So
there's
some
big
impacts
and
some
changes,
but
we
don't
have
the
data
because
it's
only
been
about
six
months,
but
we've
been
doing
the
screening
instrument
detention
for
years.
N
So
but
we've
worked
with
the
dda,
the
pd
on
getting
kids
out
even
when
they're
in
there.
So
we've
been
meeting
with
our
even
our
own
probation,
our
detention
manager
meets
with
our
probation
manager
and
we
look
at
trying
to
get
kids
out.
N
You
know,
as
as
as
quick
as
we
can,
and
putting
in
resources
in
place
like
gps's
and
counseling
and
group
homes
and
and
even
putting
them
back
in
home
with
you
know,
with
mental
health,
counseling
or
drug
counseling,
or
things
getting
them
in
place,
so
they
can
go
back
and
you
know,
and
we
can
work
on
some
of
the
issues
that
really
got
him
there,
that
caused
the
criminality
because
usually
there's
an
underlying
reason.
It
could
be
social
services,
it
could
be
medicaid.
N
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
late
new
reasons
why
these
kids
could
be
doing
some
of
the
things
they've
done
and
we're
trying
to
get
to
the
root
and
not
just
look
at
the
kid
in
the
criminality,
so
we're
looking
at
the
cost.
So
we've
developed
a
program
called
the
harbor,
so
it's
an
assessment
center
denver
was
using
them
and
so
was
atlanta
and
some
of
the
other
jurisdictions.
So
we
have
four
assessment
centers.
So
we've
done
a
good
job
diverting
kids.
N
So
before
we
we
met
with
the
public
defender
of
the
dea,
so
now
charges
that
would
come
to
juvenile
probation,
say
petty
larceny,
some
of
the
other
ones
they're,
not
habitual,
some
possession
of
marijuana
other
charges.
It's
about
30
charges
that
we
no
longer
deal
with
at
juvenile
justice
and
a
lot
of
those
charges
often
were
ways
to
get
kids
into
the
system,
maybe
not
intentionally.
But
we
know
once
we
get
a
kid
in
the
system,
it's
hard
hard
to.
You
know,
get
them
out,
so
we
divert
them
to
their.
N
So
they
can
do
assessments
and
see
what
their
needs
are
and
if
they
can
complete
their
stuff,
then
they
don't
come
to
the
juvenile
justice
system.
So
we
have
done.
I
think
we've
served
15
000
kids
over
the
last
three
three
years.
I
think
it
was
three
years
or
four
years
four
years,
so
we've
done
work
with
inward.
We
started
a
new
program.
N
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
aware
of
it,
but
it's
called
the
truancy
prevention
program
because
we
all
know
school
is
is
if
the
kids
don't
go
to
school,
it's
a
gateway
to
prison
right.
If
you
don't
go
to
school,
your
future
becomes
a
lot
harder
to
to
to
manage
and
the
the
propensity
for
you
to
go
to
prison
is
higher.
N
So
we
started
a
program
here
within
the
last
few
months,
where
we're
we're
piloting
it
with
27
schools,
where
we're
going
to
the
kids
homes
and
we're
not
probation
officers,
not
probation
officers.
So
even
though
our
department's
running
it,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
going
to
the
home,
seeing
if
they
need.
You
know,
computer
access
if
they
need
some
type
of
social
services,
some
medicaid,
you
know
so
we're
getting
getting
to
the
root
of
the
issue
and
we're
helping
the
family
just
not
the
child.
N
So
that's
a
different
approach
for
us
too,
we're
not
just
dealing
with
the
the
individual
that
comes
to
us,
we're
dealing
with
the
entire
family,
so
we're
trying
to
prevent
future
kids
from
coming
to
us.
So
so,
yes,
we're
doing
our
part.
We
got
a
lot
of
work
to
go.
So
I'm
not
saying
like
we're,
like
you
know,
we're
perfect
or
anything
like
that.
We
gotta
we
we're
looking
at
ourselves
right
now
and
but
we're
doing
things
to
move
it
forward
and
we
will
continue
to
move
forward.
N
A
A
Okay,
there
are
no
youth
legislators
with
questions.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
more
experts
that
are
gonna
testify,
but
if
there
are
any
experts
that
are
going
to
be
testifying
regarding
bbr13,
I'm
going
to
state
your
name.
A
Okay,
there
are
no.
I
do
not
believe
there
are
any
more
testimonies
for
bdr13,
but
it
appears
that
youth
legislator,
craig,
has
a
question
for
youth
legislator
melendez.
Regarding
vr13,
you
may
ask
your
question.
B
A
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
so
much
to
all
of
my
witnesses.
I
greatly
appreciate
the
criticisms,
the
critiques,
the
support.
I
couldn't
have
done
this
without
your
feedback.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I'm
just
too
quickly
wrap
up
what
was
said.
The
video
showed
by
mrs
jones
shows
the
daily
strengthening
of
the
color.
B
That's
brought
on
solely
because
people
have
implicit
bias
and
it's
something
we
all
have,
but
it
doesn't
mean
we're
all
racist
and
she
would
actually
provide
training
pro
bono,
so
that
is
just
one
of
the
many
examples
of
how
this
can
actually
be
implemented.
Without
a
fiscal
impact,
then
addressing
what
ms
stuffy
was
saying
about
a
possible
fiscal
impact
in
terms
of
paperwork
identification,
the
technology
needed.
I
am
willing
to
work
on
that
part
of
the
bill
100
if
it
is
not
effective.
B
If
we're
not
able
to
have
a
minority's
race
taken
off
of
a
police
report
when
presented
to
a
prosecutor,
then
I'm
still
willing
to
work
on.
I
greatly
appreciate
that
critique,
but,
as
nick
said
from
aclu,
we
are
able
to
do
this.
It's
something
that
we
have
the
the
capability
to
do.
Just
to
san
francisco,
it
will
take
more
time,
of
course,
but
this
isn't
something
that
I
would
say,
included
in
the
language
of
the
bill
would
be
you
have
to
get
it
done
within
one
year.
B
I
do
agree
that
the
trainings
would
be
regular
and,
as
the
representative
from
djjs
said,
they
already
are
doing
all
these
amazing
things.
The
purpose
of
this
bill
is
simply
to
make
them
more
regular
and
more
unified
across
the
board,
so
that
we
all
feel
the
great
impacts
that
he
previously
mentioned,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
again
all
of
your
critiques
and
your
support.
I
will
now
be
taking
any
questions
if
any
youth
legislators
are
willing
to
have
them.
A
Thank
you
so
much
youth
legislator
melendez
for
both
your
proposal
of
your
bill
as
well
as
your
final
statement.
It
appears
that
youth
legislator,
craig
does
not
have
a
question
anymore.
Her
question
was
answered,
but
at
this
time,
if
any
of
the
have
a
question
for
group
legislative
lenders,
you
may
write
your
name
in
the
chat
or
I
invite
you
to
speak
up
as
well.
A
Okay,
youth
legislative
data:
you
may
ask
your
question.
G
Thank
you,
youth
legislator,
for
the
record.
You
legislator,
melendez,
I'm
totally
on
your
side
for
this,
I'm
so
happy.
You
proposed
this.
I
just
have
one
final
question
and
that's
when
you
were
talking
about
organizations
that
go
ahead
and
offer
certain
trainings
for
the
cultural
competency
like
and
implicit
bias
trainings,
so
you
said
they
also
provided
certain
tools
for
this,
and
so
I
assume
my
worry,
I
guess
is
what
kind
of.
G
Let
me,
let
me
think
about
how
I
want
to
phrase
this.
I
guess
I'm
a
bit
concerned
with
who
exactly
oversees
these
trainings
and
their
implementation,
because
at
the
moment,
while
we
might
go
ahead
and
look
at
certain
organizations
and
agree
with
what
their
trainings
are,
so
would
your
bill
go
ahead
and
propose
that
the
legislature
always
always
goes
ahead
and
works
with
these
certain
organizations
who
are
implementing
these
trainings
or
everyone
in
the
justice
system
and
makes
sure
they're
in
line
with
what
they
want.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
question.
I
appreciate
the
support
so
as
mentioned
by
the
representative,
the
djs.
B
So
that's
kind
of
how
we
would
go
about
there
would
be
people
who
are
in
charge
of
the
trainings.
It
is
possibility
for
it
to
be
somebody
in
the
legislature.
That
is
something
that
would
be
developed
further
if
this
bill
does
pass
on,
because
I
don't
want,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
I
don't
want
to
put
unnecessary
stress
on
the
juvenile
justice
system,
as
it
is
especially
with
our
current
pandemic
happening,
but
there
are
people
out
there
who
are
willing
to
be
in
charge
of
the
training.
It's
just
a
matter
of
specifically
identifying
them.
B
If
this
bill
goes
through.
A
Thank
you
so
much
youth
legislator,
melendez
for
your
proposal.
Are
there
any
legislators
that
have
any
questions
regarding
anything
guys
at
this
time?
A
Okay,
we
will
now
move
on
to
the
selection
of
the
bdr
that
we
will
be
presenting
to
the
2021
legislature
before
we
select
our
bdr.
I
just
want
to
ask
one
more
time
if
any
youth
legislators
have
any
remaining
questions
or
comments
regarding
either
of
the
proposals,
if
you
do,
please
pay
your
name
in
the
chat.
A
It
appears
that
there
are
no
youth
legislators
with
questions
or
comments
that
they
need
to
make
at
this
time.
So
we
will
now
take
a
vote
on
the
two
ddrs
when
tina
calls
your
name,
please
indicate
whether
you
would
like
to
vote
for
bdr6
or
bdr13
tina.
Will
you
call.

melendez
for
the

thank
you
guys
so
so
much
for
this

like
I'm

incredibly
humbled.
I
look

to
working
with
all
of
you
to
make
sure
that
this
bill
fits
all
of
our
needs
and
all

So
again,
thank
you
so
much
and
shout
out
to
the

You

I'm
just
I'm
so
happy.
Thank
you
guys
so
much.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all.
A
C
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
youth
legislature,
profound
engagement,
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
your
contributions
to
this
extraordinary
set
of
hearings.
C
You
demonstrated
the
highest
level
of
engagement
of
attention
of
enthusiasm,
of
curiosity,
of
commitment
to
this
processing
of
these
measures,
and
both
bills
had
great
success
today,
both
the
of
the
sponsors
as
you
came
together
and
the
witnesses,
these
hearings
were
so
profound.
C
The
brilliance
of
bringing
these
these
voices
to
this
meeting
showed
up,
and
I
want
to
congratulate
everybody,
including
each
of
the
witnesses
representing
different
voices
that
needed
to
be
heard
for
the
contributions
that
each
of
you
have
made
and
are
continuing
to
make
in
these
environments
that
were
definitely
important
enough
to
the
youth
legislators
to
narrow
down
the
bill
selection
to
these
two
particular
issue,
areas
which
demonstrate
very
contemporary
concerns
of
nevada,
youth
and
young
people
across
the
country.
C
I
I
again,
as
we
mentioned
in
in
the
announcement
from
the
chair,
you
do
have
an
assignment
coming
up.
I
believe
tina
did
include
the
report
template
again
for
public
testimony.
C
You
can
do
it
by
telephone
by
zoom
or
whatever
virtual
platform
might
be
available
or
a
written
testimony
regarding
the
gatherings
that
again
were
mentioned
just
a
moment
ago.
These
are
on
your
calendar
right
now.
We
are
looking
to
do
something
different
in
a
virtual
context.
It's
taking
a
little
bit
of
massaging
right
now,
and
so
we
are
working
on
that.
We'll
keep
you
informed
as
we
go
forward.
C
I
want
to
thank
each
of
you,
youth
legislators,
for
the
again
the
level
of
engagement
for
sticking
to
your
commitment
to
honoring
throughout
our
virtual
experiences.
Up
to
this
point,
what
you
said
you
would
do
when
you
took
your
oath
of
office,
you
have
demonstrated
exemplary
engagement,
every
step
of
the
way,
no
matter
what
your
role
has
been
in
this
learning
adventure
that
we've
all
been
experiencing,
we
will
work
with
the
sponsor
of
your
selected,
bdr
legal
tina
and
I
and
others
to
integrate
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
raised
today
in
january.
C
At
the
meeting
on
the
12th,
you
will
finalize
your
language
for
the
bill
that
will
go
forward.
This
is
an
opportunity
if,
if
indeed
as
a
body
you
determine
and
again
it
will
be
through
voting-
that
certain
things
need
to
be
refined
or
included
or
excluded.
This
is
what
you
will
do.
It's
not
just
yay,
nay,
you
have
the
opportunity
of
full
discussion
on
language
of
the
bill.
Legal
will
bring
you
a
bill,
and
then
you
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
what
you
will
be
considering
at
that
meeting.
C
C
This
is
an
exciting
opportunity
for
you
as
well,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
again
for
just
an
extraordinary
level
of
engagement,
not
just
today,
but
every
day
leading
up
till
today,
you
have
been
just
the
most
amazing
examples
of
youth
in
action
and
I'm
grateful
and
humbled
to
be
part
of
your
journey
as
you
continue
your
work
in
the
nevada
youth
legislature
also
thanks
to
all
the
resource,
people,
the
team
of
broadcast
and
legal
and
constituent
services,
everybody
in
the
legislature
who
has
made
all
of
this
possible.
C
A
You
so
much
senator
wiener.
We
all
appreciate
everything
that
you've
done
for
us,
as
well
as
everything
that
you
have
taught
us
really
quickly.
Youth
legislator
bieta
asks
when
we
submit
the
reports
to
december
5th
for
our
legislators.
Would
you
like
us
to
send
it
solely
to
the
legislators
we
have
been
sending
them
to,
or
would
you
like
them
to
go
to
our
newly
elected
legislators
as
well.
C
I
think
I
think,
out
of
respect
that
it
would
be
lovely
that
you
send
it
to
the
appointing
legislator,
as
well
as
the
new
legislators.
That's
a
wonderful
example
of
continuity
and
in
transition.
So
that's
a
lovely
opportunity
for
the
u.s
youth
legislators
to
work
through
the
transition
into
the
new
legislative
body
as
it
emerges,
because
you
will
be
working
with
the
new
ones,
but
the
other
legislators
were
your
appointing
legislators
or
members
of
the
team
that
you've
been
representing.
A
Thank
you
so
much
again
senator
it
appears
that
youth
legislator,
craig,
has
a
public
comment
that
she
would
like
to.
B
Give
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
youth
legislator
melendez,
I
think
bdr
13
is
a
great
measure
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
it
moves
forward
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with.
A
You
thank
you
so
much
for
your
comment.
Are
there
any
youth
legislators
that
have
any
final
thoughts
or
comments
before
a
journey?
If
so,
you
may
feel
free
to
speak
up
or
put
your
name
in
the
comments
in
the
chat.
A
Okay,
it
appears
that
there
are
no
youth
legislators
with
public
comment
at
this
time.
Before
we
adjourn,
I
would
just
like
to
thank
everyone.
A
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
youth
legislators,
everyone
who
gave
testimony
senator
benedictine,
of
course,
and
everyone
that
made
this
possible
congratulations
to
legislative
melendez
and
I'm
really
excited
to
work
on
this
bill
to
see
how
far
we
can
get
it
as
well.
I
don't
think
there's
anyone
else
with
public
comment
at
this
time.
So
again,
thank
you.
Everyone
who
participated
today
and
helped
us
with
our
meeting
as
well
being
that
there
is
no
business.
There
is
no
further
business
first
today,
this
meeting
is
now
adjourned.
Thank
you.
