Thank
you,
Miss
Aguayo
I
know
we
are
all
excited
to
share
our
bills

before
we
get
into
that,
I
would

some
housekeeping

the
Youth

anyone
providing
testimony.

you
are
done
speaking
I
would
also
like
to
ask
everyone
to
please

off
your
cell
phones
or
other

this
meeting

Our
next
agenda
item
is
public
comment.
Public
comment
may
be
provided
in
several
ways,
all
of
which
are
listed
on
the
agenda
before
we
get
started
on
public
comment
here
in
Las.
A
Vegas
I
would
like
to
note
that
Professor
Nicholas
Murray
of
the
University
of
Nevada
Reno,
submitted
public
comment
for
the
record
prior
to
the
meeting
that
is
available
for
you,
your
review
and
your
folders
and
on
the
meeting
page
at
this
time.
If
anyone
would
like
to
provide
public
comment,
please
remember
to
identify
yourself
for
the
record
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
speak.
A
I
would
like
to
ask
that
anyone
speaking
during
public
comment
to
keep
their
comments
to
no
more
than
three
minutes
and
try
to
avoid
repeating
comments
that
have
been
made
by
a
previous
speaker.
Remember
that
there
will
also
be
another
period
for
public
comment
at
the
end.
Is
there
anyone
wishing
to
testify
in
Las
Vegas
all
right
is
there
anyone
wishing
to
testify
in
Carson
City
EPS?
Is
there
anyone
on
the
line
to
make
public
comment?
A
C
A
All
right,
it
appears
we
do
not
have
anyone
who
is
prepared
to
provide
public
comment
at
this
time,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
this
meeting,
which
brings
me
to
agenda
item
number
three,
which
we
I
know
we
are
all
excited
for.
This
is
the
selection
of
the
two
build
draft
request
proposals
which
we
will
refer
at
to
as
bdr
proposals.
A
list
of
the
bdr
proposals
is
in
your
meeting,
folders
and
available
on
the
meeting
page.
A
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
ask
each
legislator
to
please
give
an
explanation
of
your
proposed
bdr.
You
will
have
five
minutes,
however.
We
have.
We
are
giving
everyone
nine
minutes
in
total.
We
do
suggest
that
you
leave
close
to
four
minutes
for
questions
after
each
presentation,
youth
legislators
will
have
time
to
ask
questions
and
you
have
nine
minutes
in
total.
We
will
take
each
of
the
bdr
proposals
in
numerical
order.
So
let's
get
started
youth
legislator
Bentham.
Would
you
please
start
by
providing
an
explanation
of
your
bdr
proposal.
B
Bdr1
takes
the
first
step,
as
it
would
mandate
school
start
times
for
high
school
students
to
know
earlier
than
8
30
a.m
and
for
middle
school
students
to
know
earlier
than
8
am
you
might
be
asking
yourself?
Is
this
really
important?
How
can
changing
school
start
times?
Do
anything
to
improve
our
school
performance?
B
According
to
the
America
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
AAP
as
kids
become
teenagers
and
heat
puberty,
our
circadian
rhythm
changes,
our
circadian
rhythm
or
circadian
cycle
is
a
natural
internal
process
that
regulates
the
sleep,
wake
cycle
and
repeats
roughly
every
24
hours,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slides
provided
for
you
during
puberty.
This
changes
by
two
hours
later
for
the
average
teenager.
With
this
information
in
mind,
the
AAP
has
declared
teen
sleep
deprivation,
a
public
health
issue
calling
teens
chronically
sleep,
deprived
and
pathologically
sleepy.
B
B
Both
of
these
organizations
recommend
children,
ages,
13
to
18,
get
8
to
10
hours
of
sleep
every
night,
most
of
us
73
percent
of
high
schoolers
and
58
percent
of
middle
school
students
get
less
than
that.
One
reason
for
that
as
our
circadian
rhythm
changes
and
we
naturally
get
tired
around
11
pm.
We
are
required
to
get
up
earlier
and
earlier
to
make
it
to
school
on
time.
The
average
school
start
time
in
Nevada
is
7
45
a.m.
In
Clark
County
many
of
the
high
schools
start
as
early
as
7
A.M.
B
B
Getting
even
an
extra
hour
of
sleep
will
positively
impact
a
student's
attendance
in
school,
improve
academic
performance
increase,
graduation
rates,
increase
mental
health
and
some
even
suggest
this
could
decrease
car
accidents,
as
kids
would
be
more
rested.
We
in
Nevada
are
not
the
first
to
introduce
such
a
bill.
In
fact,
this
bill
will
mimic
what
California
has
already
put
into
law
now:
New
Jersey,
New,
York
Massachusetts
and
the
Virgin
Island
legislators
are
all
considering
mandating
school
start
time
changes.
B
Utah,
Pennsylvania
and
Indiana
encourage
schools
to
consider
student
sleep
needs
when
setting
school
schedules
and
Maryland
encouraged,
but
doesn't
mandate
starting
at
8,
A.M
or
later
colleagues.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
be
a
leader
in
our
state
when
it
comes
to
setting
the
standard
for
Quality
education.
We've
been
in
the
bottom
position
long
enough.
Let's
take
the
first
step
by
proposing
and
passing
this
bill,
bdr1
that
would
mandate
school
start
times
for
high
school
students
to
know
earlier
than
8
30
a.m
and
for
middle
school
students.
A
A
I
am
seeing
youth
legislator
moss
and
it
looks
like
everyone
is
going
to
get
a
little
over
a
minute.
I
apologize
I
now
see
more
people
in
the
north.
Keep
your
placards
raised.
Everyone's
gonna
get
about
a
little
less
than
a
minute
about
40
50
seconds.
We're
gonna.
First
go
with
chair
Moss
legislator,
Moss.
D
Thank
you,
Vice,
chair
Lyle,
just
a
quick
question
to
you:
youth
legislator
Bentham,
while
I
support
pushing
our
times
back
for
the
benefit
of
our
students,
mental
health,
there's
a
worker
shortage
and
there's
a
bus
driver
shortage,
especially
in
Washoe
County,
School
District,
where
I'm
from
have
you
considered
these
concerns
when
drafting
your
bill.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
You
Youth,
legislator,
moss,
and
so
as
California
has
done
it
they
have
given
the
state
parents,
families
and
schools
three
times
three
years
to
prepare,
so
this
bill
would
be
making
our
year.
The
change
would
occur.
The
2025
through
2026
school
year
for
the
operational
pressure
through
schools.
There
will
definitely
be
some
challenges,
but
we're
giving
them
the
three
years.
Bus
scheduling
would
be
the
biggest
issue,
but
as
it
is
right
now,
we
would
just
be
reworking
how
the
times
are
so.
The
amount
of
workers.
A
F
Thank
you
I.
Definitely
support
your
build,
but
I
have
one
question
for
you.
So
there's
some
thought
that
this
should
potentially
be
a
local
decision,
especially
since
Las
Vegas
and
Washington
schools
are
very
different
than
Douglas
and
Humboldt.
Why
should
a
decision
be
applied
across
the
state
instead
of
locally.
B
Thank
you
for
your
question.
Well,
I
thought
of
this
and
I've
so
I,
the
mental
health
issue
and
sleep
issue
isn't
just
a
local
District
problem.
It's
a
state
problem
and
it's
a
national
problem.
Thus
there
will
need
Statewide,
Solutions
and
mandates,
then
within
the
district
they
do
so
have
options
just
not
before
the
mentioned
times,
so
they
can
still
choose
9,
A.M,
8
45.
It
just
can't
be
below
8
30
for
high
school
and
eight
for
Middle
School.
B
Thank
you
for
your
question.
Well,
in
the
2016
school
year,
Seattle
changed
their
school
start
times
to
no
other
than
wait
to
no
earlier
than
8
45
a.m,
and
when
they
made
this
change,
students
got
a
median
of
an
additional
34
minutes
of
sleep
a
night
and,
as
a
result,
based
off
of
past
attempts,
it
has
worked.
It
was
also
found
that
the
students
test
scores
went
up
an
average
of
4.5
percent
when
this
change
was
made.
G
B
Thank
you
for
your
question
for
like
extracurricular
activities
like
sports
or
mock
trial,
or
something
like
that
it
would
take
place
before
after
school,
just
as
it
does
now.
This
bill
is
simply
to
align
sleep
schedules
with
teen
circadian
rhythm,
so,
rather
than
spending
hours
on
social
media
waiting
to
get
tired,
they
can
get
home,
take
care
of
responsibilities
and
go
to
bed.
Extracurricular
activity
times
would
atmost
be
delayed.
B
As
for
jobs,
we're
not
changing
the
school
day,
we're
not
changing
the
amount
of
hours
in
school,
we're
just
simply
shifting
it
over
an
hour
so
for
after
school
jobs
that
shouldn't
be
affected.
Much.
A
H
C
I
J
I
C
I
J
Okay,
thank
you
good
afternoon,
I
I
apologize
for
the
technical
difficulty.
My
name
is
Andrew
fueling
I'm,
the
superintendent
for
the
Carson
City
School
District.
Thank
you
for
hearing
my
comment
today
and
I
apologize
for
the
order
in
which
you're.
J
Technology
does
not
always
do
what
we
want,
so
that's,
okay,
I
applaud
all
of
you
for
your
interests
and
drive
to
be
a
youth
legislator
representing
the
great
state
of
Nevada
from
every
corner
I
enjoyed
reading
the
proposed
build
draft
requests
and
I'm
excited
to
see
so
many
relate
to
something
close
to
my
heart,
education
and
kids.
J
My
comment
today
is
a
quick
two
parts.
First,
several
of
the
bdrs
related
to
Staffing
curriculum
and
calendar
requirements.
All
likely
would
have
a
fiscal
impact
and
I
know
you
take
that
into
consideration
and
I
guess:
bigger
picture
I'm,
also
a
part
of
the
commission
on
school
funding
for
the
state
of
Nevada
and
wanted
just
to
make
you
aware
that
the
legislature
has
done
several
studies
over
the
years
of
what
it
costs
to
adequately
fund
schools
adequately
being
defined
as
meeting
all
of
the
current
state
requirements
and
meeting
appropriate
or
recommended
Staffing
guidelines.
J
I
J
Not
only
is
she
an
amazing
Carson,
City
student,
but
that
the
management
of
that
issue,
it
should
not
just
be
let
to
sports,
as
it's
currently
written
into
law,
clearly,
there's
an
an
impact,
a
wider
impact
for
our
Nevada
students
and
all
students
within
the
classrooms
and
the
academic
side,
which
schools
clearly
have
an
interest
in
so
just
like
to
offer
my
support
for
her
bill
and
and
just
again
say
thank
you
for
all
the
interests
you
have
and
the
bills
you
have
put
forward
for
our
youth
legislature.
A
E
Good
afternoon
to
everyone
in
attendance
here
in
Las,
Vegas
and
up
north
to
start
off
this
week
is
my
18th
birthday
in
four
short
days:
I
turn
18
and,
while
18
isn't
quite
as
exciting
as
21,
one
very
crucial
thing
comes
with
turning
the
sage.
I
can
vote
come
election
day
on
November,
8th
I
vote
in
the
general
election
on
Election
Day
I
can
make
a
difference
for
my
County,
my
city
and
my
state
today.
I
can
also
make
a
difference
with
every
one
of
your
help.
E
There
has
never
been
such
an
important
time
to
change
lives
and,
if
you
help
vote
on
my
bill,
you
can
make
that
difference
with
me.
Bdr4,
quite
simply
put
is
one
of
the
most
unique
and
original
bills
proposed
and
I
think
it
will
be
the
most
beneficial
to
the
lives
of
the
youths
of
Nevada
that
might
not
otherwise
have
this
chance,
while
other
ideas
focus
on
children
quite
frequently
addressed.
Mine
provides
the
opportunity
to
give
a
pathway
to
the
individuals
of
our
state,
who
are
rarely
acknowledged
or
helped.
E
The
juvenile
justice
system
in
our
state
is
flawed.
One
of
the
major
reasons
for
that
is
that
there
is
no
system
in
place
for
making
the
incarcerated
juveniles
have
a
promising
future
after
being
released
this
bill
sitting
before
you
proposes
opportunities
for
incarcerated
use
that
would
make
their
lives
exponentially.
Better
I
want
everyone
in
attendance
to
understand
that
studies
show
that
over
40
percent
of
people,
who
don't
have
a
direct
pathway
after
being
released
from
juvenile
centers,
will
end
up
in
a
state
prison
by
the
time
they
are
25
to
reiterate:
40
percent
an
increase.
E
Sorry
to
restate
from
the
previous
meeting.
The
basic
goal
of
this
bill
is
to
create
a
program
directly
linking
juvenile
centers
to
community
colleges.
Around
Nevada
bdr4
will
improve
the
futures
of
these
youths
that
have
made
mistakes
and
wrongdoings
in
their
lives
and
wish
to
be
better
I
call
it
the
GED
pathway
project.
E
There
are
requirements
that
there
should
be
for
any
program
in
order
to
know
who
should
and
should
not
qualify.
The
requirements
are
as
follows:
a
they
need
to
pass
the
GED.
This
test
will
be
funded
by
this
program
for
every
juvenile
delinquent
to
give
them
the
best
opportunity
to
qualify.
B
they
have
to
complete
a
set
number
of
community
service
hours
per
semester,
I'm
recommending
10.
E
E
E
He
has
spent
his
life
going
around
and
helping
educate
these
youths
and
believes
in
them.
I
am
in
support
of
him
and
I
fully
stand
on
the
belief
that
these
incarcerated
youths
deserve
a
second
chance.
Sacramento
is
the
capital
city
of
California
and
representing
that
district
is
assembly.
Man,
McCarty
I
have
been
in
constant
contact
with
him
and
his
office
throughout
this
process
to
get
their
statistics
and
opinions
on
bdr4,
which
relates
to
a
similar
bill.
They
passed
in
2021.
E
The
office
of
assemblyman
McCarty
is
in
full
support
and
of
my
bill
and
myself
and
has
expressed
interest
in
coming
in
to
the
next
presentation.
Should
you
guys
vote
my
bill
forward
on
top
of
being
in
contact
with
the
office
of
assemblyman?
Mccarty
I
have
also
been
in
contact
with
the
Las
Vegas
Juvenile
Center
called
Summit
View
youth
center
located
in
North
Las
Vegas,
who
also
believes
my
bill
is
extremely
beneficial
and
would
make
such
a
big
impact
on
these
youths.
E
The
other
youth
centers
that
I
want
to
include
are
Caliente
youth
center
located
in
Caliente
and
Nevada's
training
center
located
in
Carson
City.
Examining
the
Nevada
budget
is
very
overwhelming
and
there
are
certain
points
of
the
budget.
I
reviewed
that
I
think
we
can
allocate
money
from
the
most
prominent
being
the
legislative
Department,
who
receives
a
grand
total
of
over
20
million
dollars
per
year,
a
substantial
portion
of
which
was
not
spent
in
the
last
calendar
year.
E
I
propose
we
take
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
this
department
in
order
to
fund
this
bill
to
the
better
the
lives
of
these
Nevada
youths
that
have
earned
this
opportunity.
This
money
would
go
to
the
program
and
would
replenish
every
two
years
with
85
000
going
to
each
youth
each
Youth
Center
that
is
included
in
the
group.
E
The
average
Nevada
prisoner
takes
about
33,
000
taxpayers
dollars
a
year
when
doing
the
math.
It
would
only
take
16
incarcerated
use
to
not
end
up
in
prison
and
I.
Think
that
this
bill
would
cover
that
and
plenty
more
which
would
make
up
for
the
money
spent
on
this
bill
every
two
years,
I'm
sitting
before
you
today,
with
one
request
for
you
to
help
make
the
future
of
these
use
better
for
them
to
have
a
chance
at
becoming
upstanding
members
of
our
society.
E
They
deserve
the
chance
to
succeed,
and,
as
a
group,
we
have
one
opportunity
to
pass
a
singular
Bill.
Our
singular
Bill
deserves
to
go
to
people
who
never
get
a
chance
to
improve,
and
while
every
youth
in
Nevada
deserves
opportunities,
our
one
bill
should
not
go
to
groups
of
people
that
are
Nevada.
Senate
is
already
considering
helping
this
bill
would
impact
so
many
youths
in
such
a
positive
way
that
never
get
addressed
and
I
fully
believe.
Everyone's
votes
should
go
to
my
Bill.
Thank
you.
I'm,
ready
to
entertain
questions
from
the
floor.
A
A
E
Okay,
so
so
the
money
is
divided
in
two
years
for
250
000
per
year,
with
85
000
going
to
each
of
the
three
youth
groups
listed.
This
money
would
go
to
pay
for
one
government
worker
that
would
work
with
all
of
the
individuals.
It
would
pay
for
the
GED
test
to
be
provided
to
all
these
individuals
and
it
would
work
to
help
them
with
things
such
as
completing
their
community
service
hours
and
if
they
need
extra
assistance
with
their
High
School
classes.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
E
I
So
in
the
speech
you
mentioned
that
one
of
the
requirements
for
being
accepted
to
this
program
is
community
service.
I
was
wondering
more
specifically
what
the
community
service
part
entails
and
who
would
be
in
charge
of
deciding
what
qualifies
as
community
service.
E
So,
as
mentioned
that
there
would
be
one
advisor
per
youth
group,
and
so
she
or
he
would
Overlook
the
hours
she
or
he
would
constitute
what
would
require
and
some
examples.
I
have
are
volunteering
to
talk
to
other
delinquents
that
want
to
later
be
implemented
into
the
program
volunteering
at
things
like
soup
kitchens
things
like
that.
That
would
help
the
community
out
pretty
much
anything
that
you
can.
Think
of.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I
G
Youth
legislator,
Miller
for
the
record.
My
question
is:
how
many
juveniles
a
year?
Do
you
think
that
this
program
would
be
able
to
help
considering
there
is
you
stated
a
250
000
limit
on
funding
per
year.
E
F
Thank
you.
So
you
said
that
there
are.
Nobody
would
be
in
this
program
who
has
committed
any
major
crimes,
but
you
also
mentioned
that
you
have
been
in
contact
with
Summit
View
Youth
Center,
which
is
a
maximum
security
facility
in
Las
Vegas.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
what
kind
of
protocol
is
there
going
to
be
for
transporting
these
kids
and
we
have
such
a
staffing
shortage?
Are
there
going
to
be
enough
staff
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
these
kids
don't
like
they're
still
in
prison
too?
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you
for
your
question.
The
people
that
this
bill
entails
is
only
minor
crimes.
No
large
threats
are
going
to
be
allowed,
such
as
assault
murder,
things
like
that
won't
be
allowed
in
and.
A
A
Good
evening,
my
fellow
youth
legislators,
it
is
with
immense
regret
that
I
was
not
able
to
make
this
meeting,
but
I
urge
you
to
understand
that
my
passion
and
fervor
to
create
a
future
inclusive
for
all
members
of
our
society
will
still
exist
even
on
paper.
I
will
always
always
remain
intent
on
creating
a
state
of
Nevada
where
all
young
people
can
grow
up
to
become
responsible
adults
and
helpful
members
of
the
respective
communities.
Nevada
is
facing
a
crisis
in
reproductive
education
and
mental
health,
impacting
all
of
our
communities.
A
According
to
the
sexual
information
and
education,
Council
of
the
United
States
in
2021,
otherwise
known
as
ceicus
nevadan,
schools
are
required
to
establish
a
human
sexuality
course,
but
cannot
be
a
requirement
for
education,
meaning
that
students
are
often
graduating
without
any
sexual
education.
In
the
first
place,
Nevada
has
no
standard
regarding
instruction
on
abstinence,
but
the
curriculum
is
required
to
emphasize
abstinence
as
the
only
way
to
avoid
pregnancy
and
STIs.
A
These
guidelines
are
devastating
for
our
youth,
with
the
Center
for
Disease
Control,
emphasizing
in
2019
that
only
54
percent
of
students
used
a
condom
during
sexual
intercourse.
The
spread
of
STIs
in
teen
pregnancy
scares
or
Mar,
or
more
often
than
not
the
source
of
mental
health
issues
for
many
constituents
in
all
of
our
districts.
But
this
isn't
the
only
issue.
Nevada's
curriculum
does
not
follow.
Federal
or
national
standards
set
out
by
the
CDC
is
not
regulated
to
be
appropriate
for
a
student's
developmental
stage
and
has
no
requirement
to
even
be
medically
accurate.
A
There
is
no
requirement
for
instructional
consent
to
be
taught
in
Nevada,
and
there
is
no
requirement
for
trained
instructors
to
teach
these
classes.
Even
worse,
however,
is
that
Nevada's
sexual
education
curriculum
is
not
required
to
be
comprehensive,
generally
ignoring
sexual
health
issues
relating
to
members
of
the
lgbtq
plus
Community.
All
of
these
grievances
culminate
in
a
systematic
flaw
of
our
sexual
education
system
faces,
which
is
the
fact
that
sexual
education
courses
are
opt-in
instead
of
opt
out
in
the
status
quo.
A
Parents
have
to
sign
a
slip
of
paper
for
their
students
to
take
courses
on
sexual
education.
Comprehensive
sexual
education
is
a
two-pronged
solution
for
our
young
Citizens
First.
It
works
to
help
create
responsible
students
when,
regarding
Sexual
Health.
Secondarily,
it
constructs
a
foundation
for
long-term
mental
health
benefits
for
our
students,
bdr5
specifically
Works,
to
change
a
new
sexual
education
system
that
acknowledges
students
on
different
identities,
changes
the
system
from
opt-in
to
opt
out
and
prepare
students
to
be
responsible
in
a
modern
world.
A
Let's
start
with
the
first
point:
Nevada
is
one
of
four
states
in
the
nation.
With
an
opt-in
system
under
an
opt-out
system,
all
students
would
be
automatically
enrolled
in
sexual
education
courses.
If
parents
want
to
remove
their
students
from
these
courses,
they
just
have
to
sign
a
slip
of
paper
and
submit
it
to
the
school.
A
Other
states
like
Texas,
Florida
and
Georgia
have
opt-out
policies
and,
as
a
result,
their
sexual
education
statistics
like
condom
usage
rate,
are
consistently
higher
than
Nevadas
I
have
attached
a
sheet
with
Nevada's
school
health
profile
from
sikas,
in
which
it
highlights
the
true
nature
of
how
lackluster
our
sex
ed
system
is
for
our
students.
Comprehensive
sexual
education
guarantees
that
we
cover
all
students
from
all
demographics
and
also
promotes
responsible
reproductive
Health.
That
does
not
rely
on
ineffective
abstinence.
Only
education,
it's
time
for
an
update.
More
critically,
though,
is
the
second
point.
A
I
mentioned
earlier:
Eva
S,
goldfarben,
Lisa,
D
liberman.
Both
researchers,
with
a
PhD
in
public
health,
examine
studies
over
the
course
of
three
decades
finding
evidence
for
the
effectiveness
of
approaches
that
address
a
broad
definition
of
sexual
health
towards
mental
health,
adding
that
the
impact
of
quality
sex
education
that
addresses
a
broad
range
of
sexual
health
topics,
extends
Beyond,
pregnancy
and
STIs
can
improve
School,
Success
mental
health
and
safety.
As
with
all
the
other
areas
of
curriculum
building,
an
early
foundation
and
Scaffolding
learning
with
developmentally
appropriate
content
in
teaching
are
key.
A
So
the
long-term
development
of
knowledge,
attitude
and
skills
that
support
healthy
sexuality.
Further
suppose,
students
are
able
to
avoid
early
pregnancy,
STI,
sexual
abuse
and
interpersonal
violence
and
harassment.
In
that
case,
while
feeling
safe
and
supported
within
their
school
environment,
they
are
more
likely
to
experience
academic
success,
a
foundation
for
future
stability.
A
Sexual
education
courses
do
not
serve
only
as
sources
of
reproductive
information,
but
are
also
a
space
for
students
to
learn
about
mental
health,
their
bodies
relationships
and
how
to
live.
Healthier.
Lifestyles
sexual
education
courses
reduce
a
massive
origin
of
mental
illness
for
our
young
constituents.
Sexual
violence
instruction
on
consent,
as
evidenced
by
the
aforementioned
researchers,
has
been
proven
to
be
effective
at
reducing
sexual
assault
and
promoting
healthy
relationships.
A
The
data
does
not
lie
to
you,
my
fellow
youth
legislators,
a
study
conducted
in
2019
in
the
Journal
of
adolescence,
help
on
lgbtq
inclusive
sexual
education
found
a
91
reduction
in
the
incidence
rate
of
mental
health
among
lgbtq
plus
students
in
states
with
Comprehensive
sexual
education.
It's
time
for
us
to
Galvanize
around
the
issues
of
sexual
education
and
mental
health.
It's
time
for
us
to
promote
a
Nevada
that
helps
people
from
all
demographics
live,
responsible,
Lifestyles
that
are
free
from
mental
health
issues.
A
I
All
right
so
to
jog
everyone's
memory.
Bdr6
proposes
to
create
a
pilot
program
to
provide
free
weekly
phone
calls
for
1
000
Nevada
children
of
incarcerated
parents.
I
was
inspired
to
propose
this
legislation
when
I
had
the
opportunity
to
tour
San,
Quentin
State
Prison
over
the
Border
in
California
this
summer.
One
of
the
things
I
noticed
is
that
there
were
a
few
places
that
the
incarcerated
people
with
whom
I
spoke,
which
were
that
were
very
important
to
their
lives.
Take
the
cafeteria,
the
workout
yard,
the
chapel,
for
example.
I
Pamela
from
Las
Vegas
told
me
the
following:
I'm
his
main
contact
to
all
of
his
children.
So
this
has
been
costing
me
at
least
450
a
month
just
for
phone
calls
with
four
children,
and
only
15
minute
calls.
It
gets
very
expensive
when
I'm
the
only
one
making
sure
he
keeps
this
relationship
with
his
children.
He
has
been
away
for
eight
years
and
keeping
this
connection
with
his
children's
very
important.
I
One
of
his
sons
has
just
recently
forgiven
him
for
not
being
around
and
they
have
been
able
to
overcome
some
serious
issues
because
of
the
phone
calls.
If
this
Bill
gets
passed,
it
would
be
very
helpful
for
his
children
and
put
less
stress
on
me
as
I.
Do
everything
possible
to
keep
it
going?
I
currently
work
two
jobs
just
to
try
and
maintain
everything
out
here
and
make
sure
he
has
all
he
needs
in
there
and
most
important
access
to
his
children,
but
I'll
note
that
this
isn't
just
a
feel-good
issue.
I
Academic
research
proves
that
improving
familial
Communication
in
prison
has
concrete
benefits
for
children,
for
parents
and
for
families
as
a
whole.
One
study
noted
that
Weekly
calls
with
incarcerated
parents
significantly
improves
family
relationships,
leading
to
quote
increased
warmth,
closeness
and
loyalty
between
incarcerated
parents
and
their
children,
and
yet
another
study
and
I'll
tell
you
there's
a
lot
of
them
on
the
subject
noted
that
frequent
contact
with
family
members
while
incarcerated
serve
to
reduce
recidivism
rights.
Post-Incarceration.
I
That
means
that,
by
putting
in
a
little
bit
of
effort
on
the
issue
of
prison
phone
Justice,
our
state
can
ultimately
save
money
and
decrease
crime
in
the
long
run,
and
that's
why
I
propose
this
legislation.
My
bill
would
create
a
pilot
program
for
one
year
for
one
thousand
children
to
receive
free
weekly
30-minute
phone
calls
with
their
incarcerated
parents
in
Nevada
prisons.
I
After
the
pilot
program
elapses,
the
director
of
the
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections
would
be
instructed
to
issue
a
report
to
the
legislature
and
the
legislature
could
use
the
findings
of
this
report
to
determine
if
it
wanted
to
make
the
pilot
program
permanent.
Now
that
we've
gotten
some
of
that
stuff
out
of
the
way.
Let
me
answer
two
important
questions
about
this
bill.
First,
how
will
it
be
funded?
One
notable
aspect
about
bdr6
is
that
it
will
not
have
a
fiscal
impact
on
Nevada
taxpayers.
I
Instead,
then,
a
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections
would
be
instructed
to
seek
out
all
relevant
private
and
public
grants
and
gifts
to
cover
Associated
costs.
Private
organizations
like
Arnold
Ventures,
for
example,
offer
grants
to
state
governments
to
implement
Criminal
Justice
Reform
programs,
which
could
include
prison
phone
Justice.
The
federal
government
also
offers
a
slew
of
Grants
administered
by
the
DHS
and
the
doj's
Bureau
of
Justice
assistance.
I
Second
question
I
want
to
answer
is
why
you
should
support
this
bill
for
Liberal
youth
legislatures.
This
bill
addresses
your
concerns
about
equity
and
accountability
in
our
state's
criminal
justice
system.
By
this
view,
whatever
you
want
to
say
about
the
life
decisions
that
landed,
someone
in
prison
punishment
should
just
be
doled
out
to
that
person
and
not
to
their
innocent
children
who
have
done
nothing
wrong
and
who
face
a
financial
burden
simply
to
talk
to
their
parents
and
if
you're
conservative.
This
bill
speaks
to
core
conservative
values
around
strengthening
the
family
unit.
I
Whatever
you
want
to
say
about
the
life
decisions
that
landed,
someone
in
prison,
strengthening
the
family,
ties
between
parent
and
child
can
only
have
positive
impacts
on
them
and
on
society
as
a
whole,
as
research
has
suggested
in
our
state,
children
are
being
punished
for
having
a
parent
in
prison,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way.
Please
join
me
in
supporting
bdr6,
which
would
help
to
create
a
fairer,
more
Equitable
and
more
affordable
criminal
justice
system
for
Nevada
children
who
have
done
nothing
wrong
and
I'm
ready
to
entertain
questions.
Vice,
chair,
Lyle.
A
A
D
I
That's
a
really
important
point
you
bring
up.
One
thing:
I'll
note
is
that
as
the
bdr,
the
official
document
outlines,
a
parent
would
need
to
apply
for
their
child,
so
I
think
most
of
the
safety
problem
is
resolved
and
that
if
a
parent
on
the
outside
felt
that
it
wasn't
safe
for
their
child
to
speak
to
their
incarcerated
parent,
then
there
wouldn't
be
a
pathway
for
the
state
to
give
them
free
calls
because
they
wouldn't
apply
in
the
first
place.
D
Thank
you,
Maestro
Lyle.
My
question
is
around
the
same
or
is
very
similar
to
youth
legislative
cravers
regarding
the
pilot
program
and
those
children.
What
is
the
application
process
like
for
those
families
and
children
and
what
are
the
qualifications
that
would
that
astute
or
not
a
student,
a
child
must
have
to
be
admitted
as
one
of
the
a
thousand.
Thank
you.
I
So
I'll
answer
the
the
second
part
of
your
question.
First,
to
qualify
for
the
program,
you
would
need
to
be
a
minor
child,
so
under
the
age
of
18,
with
at
least
one
parent
incarcerated
in
a
facility
operated
by
the
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections,
then
the
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections
is
instructed
to
advertise
this
program
through
ads
and
visitation
rooms
and
notices
on
their
website.
F
Thank
you
so
my
question
for
you
is:
how
would
the
persons
be
able
to
regulate
these
phone
calls?
How
would
they
know
that
it's
actually
children
on
the
line,
instead
of
saying
that
there's
going
to
be
a
phone
call
to
the
child
and
then
there's
somebody
else
on
the
line
instead
of
that
child.
I
So
they're
already
robust
security
measures
in
place
regarding
prison
phone
calls.
The
state
currently
has
a
contract
with
a
company
called
Securus,
which
is
in
charge
of
providing
phone
service
to
prisons
and
Securus
has
the
technological
capacity
to
monitor
these
calls
and
to
assure
that
the
people
who
they're
speaking
to
are
actually
their
children,
as
does
the
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections.
F
Thank
you
and
one
more
question
is
that
so
current
law
already
says
that
prisoners
are
allowed
to
maintain
contact
with
the
child
of
a
parent
and
that
the
director
of
the
prisons
must
allow
a
prisoner
to
use
video
conference
equipment
to
talk
to
their
child.
Does
that
mean
that
this
bill
is
necessary,
or
why
is
this
bill
still
necessary?.
A
A
A
In
my
town
hall,
I
Was
Made,
further
aware
of
the
impacts
of
the
Mental
Health
crisis
on
my
peers,
I
had
almost
every
single
member
in
attendance
bring
up
the
lack
of
resources
in
our
school
system
and
the
fact
that
they
didn't
even
know
that
my
school
had
a
school
psychologist
or
even
other
social
workers,
and
this
feeling
is
hardly
unique
to
just
my
school.
The
Mental
Health
America
released
in
2019
state
of
Mental
Health
Report
and
rankings
that
Nevada
youth
had
the
highest
percentage
of
Youth
coping
with
severe
major
depression.
A
A
Poor,
professionally
trained
to
identify
and
address
Health
Needs
school
psyches
are
currently
covering
two,
sometimes
three
different
schools
at
a
time
and
they're
spread
evenly,
and
we
have
seen
this
as
Dr
Katie
dockwell
a
school
psychologist
explains
that
the
two
days
a
week
she
is
assigned
to
a
school.
She
has
very
little
time
to
none
for
preventative
measures
for
other
struggling
students,
meaning
that
she's
no
longer
able
to
take
on
new
students
because
she's
only
able
to
go
from
school
every
two
days
a
week.
A
But
let
me
talk
about
the
fiscal
impact
which
I
know
is
going
to
be
a
big
concern
for
a
lot
of
us,
but
first
I
want
to
address
that.
We
cannot
put
a
price
tag
on
our
constituents:
mental
health.
This
is
difficult
to
fully
quantify
because
salaries
for
school
psychologists
vary
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
numbers.
I
calculated
this
with
the
average
salary
salary
of
seventy
six
thousand
dollars
of
a
Las
Vegas
school
psychologist
in
CCSD
we
have
185
School
psychologists
with
the
315
000
students
in
CCSD,
keep
in
mind.
A
We
are
one
of
the
biggest
school
districts.
We
need
around
130,
more
school
psychologists
to
meet
this
mandated
ratio
in
Washoe
there
are
around
32
School
psychologists
with
the
64
000
students
in
Washoe.
We
would
need
around
another
32
School
psychologists.
So
how
much
does
this
cost
to
gather
these
salaries
would
cost
around
12
million
dollars,
which
would
come
out
of
our
education
budget,
as
this
would
be
a
payroll
issue
and
I'm
not
going
to
just
leave
this
piece
of
legislation
to
the
two
school
districts
of
Washoe
and
CCSD.
A
It's
going
to
be
expanded
to
every
school
district.
However,
numbers
in
smaller
school
districts
are
difficult
to
find.
Remember.
There
is
no
price
tag
to
mental
health
and
the
better
achievement
that
it
inevitably
brings.
It's
already
been
shown
that
depression
is
linked
to
lower
GPA
behavioral
issues
that
we're
currently
seeing,
as
we
are
continuously
afraid
to
go
to
school.
It's
high
time.
We
end
the
Mental
Health
crisis.
D
D
Thank
you.
So
we
will
start
with
youth
legislator.
Craver.
You
have
about
50
seconds
for
questioning.
E
A
So
mine
stands
out
in
comparison
to
that
one,
because
bdr11
is
specifically
focusing
on
school
psychologists
and
I
know
that
the
other
bill
that
is
about
to
get
proposed
contains
other
social
workers
and
other
people
that
might
be
able
to
help
with
mental
health.
But,
as
I've
already
shown,
UNLV
law
professors
have
shown
that
school
psychologists
are
more
equipped
to
deal
with
mental
health
issues.
G
Youth
legislator
Miller
for
the
record.
Do
you
believe
that
if
counselors
within
the
school
system,
the
number
was
increased
and
they
were
provided,
adequate
training
to
deal
with
mental
health
issues
would
be
able
to
have
a
similar
effect
as
school
psychologists.
A
I
would
I
would
argue
that
it
would
be
better
than
the
current
status
quo,
but
School
psychologists
go
to
school
to
get
years
of
training.
So
I
do
believe
that
a
small
amount
of
training
that
CCSD
might
be
able
to
supply
would
definitely
be
would
pale
in
comparison
to
the
years
that
school
psychologists
go
to
get
a
psychology
degree.
I
H
A
Okay,
so
the
current,
the
the
actual
National
recommendation,
varies
from
1
to
250
pupils
to
one
to
five
hundred
pupils.
However,
CCSD
is
a
very
large
school
district
and
because
we
have
such
a
big
deficit,
I
don't
want
to
make
the
giant
drop
from
one
to
two
thousand
to
one
to
five
hundred.
So
I've
arrived
at
one
to
a
thousand
as
a
happy
medium.
F
A
F
This
does
actually-
and
this
does
actually
increase
the
school
psychology
ratio.
It's
actually
a
bill
passed
in
the
last
session.
That
is
exactly
what
you're
talking
about,
but
with
a
different
ratio,
and
it
just
it
kind
of
feels
like
that.
This
bill
might
go
against
what
the
legislators
have
already
been
working
on
for
the
last
couple
of
sessions.
D
And
that
is
time.
Sorry,
thank
you,
youth
legislator,
or
vice
chair
Lyle,
for
your
presentation
and
all
youth
legislators
for
their
questions.
I
now
return
the
meeting
to
you,
Vice,
chair
Lyle,.
G
G
G
As
a
matter
of
fact,
this
one
counselor
that
is
supposed
to
act
as
an
advisor
for
the
2
200
students
often
only
deals
with
schedule,
changes
and
course
concerns
their
primary
job
is
not
mental
health
assistance.
Nor
are
they
always
adequately
trained
to
provide
appropriate
guidance
for
students
with
mental
health
issues
and
illnesses.
G
G
We
need
a
better
solution.
The
issue
is
not
going
to
resolve
itself
I'm,
not
here
asking
for
an
immediate
shift
to
the
recommended.
National
amount
of
school
psychologists
and
counselors
I
know
the
tremendous
fiscal
impact
that
such
a
quick
shift
could
make.
What
I
am
here
asking
is
that
we
require
the
State
Board
of
Education
to
establish
a
binding
minimum
number
of
counselors
in
the
public
school
system.
G
The
reason
why
I
have
not
given
you
a
specific
student
to
counselor
ratio
is
because
every
school
is
different.
Although
all
schools
do
need
an
increase
in
the
number
of
mental
health
professionals,
the
number
is
not
always
uniform
across
the
board.
It
depends
on
the
severity
of
the
Mental
Health
crisis
in
the
area
and
the
overall
level
of
mental
health
related
problems
within
the
school
system.
G
This
takes
me
to
the
second
element
of
my
ask.
Around
70
percent
of
juvenile
inmates
arrested
each
year
have
a
mental
health
disorder.
It
is
clear
that
there
is
a
correlation
between
the
lack
of
mental
health
assistance
within
the
school
system
and
the
number
of
juveniles
entering
the
system
due
to
mental
health
illnesses.
G
Let's
be
the
voice
that
puts
an
end
to
this
vicious
pipeline.
Eighty
percent
of
people
who
are
incarcerated,
as
minors,
will
return
to
the
system
as
adults
at
some
point
in
their
life.
The
lack
of
access
to
youth,
Mental
Health
Care
has
lifelong
detrimental
effects
for
many
nevadans.
We
need
restorative
justice
programs
for
students
within
the
school
system.
Punishment
does
not
help
a
student
grow
within
or
nor
does
it
support
that
student's
needs.
Students
acting
out
is
a
cry
for
help
that
they
currently
have
minimal.
G
G
G
We
have
frequently
been
up
in
the
top
10
with
states
with
the
highest
suicide
rate
and
I
can't
help,
but
wonder
if
some
student
stories
might
have
ended
differently
if
they
had
the
ability
to
go
to
someone
and
ask
for
help
and
when
I
say
someone
I
don't
mean
a
teacher
teachers.
Are
not
mental
health
professionals
adequately
trained
to
deal
with
severe
mental
health
disorders?
Nor
do
they
have
at
the
time
in
their
schedule,
to
do
so.
G
G
A
You
legislator
Miller
we
for
that
speech
of
five
minutes
and
27
seconds.
We
have
about
three
and
a
half
minutes
for
questions
all
those
with
questions.
Please
raise
their
plans
that
is
going
to
go
to
give
Senator
Walker,
Senator,
Bentham,
youth
legislator,
Bentham
youth
legislator,
Krieger
and
then
for
time.
I
am
going
to
pick
one
more
person
that
is
going
to
go
to
youth
legislator
Greenstein
due
to
the
amount
of
questions
asked.
G
Yes,
so
the
reason
why
I
included
this
Clause
is
because
right
now,
counselors
are
sort
of
academic
counselors
within
the
school
system,
there's
not
enough
Mental,
Health,
Counselors
and
so,
rather
than
just
having
school
psychologists.
It's
great.
If
we
can
afford
School
psychologists
but
I'm
trying
to
allow
this
to
happen
without
having
such
a
dramatic
Financial
impact,
and
so
that
training
will
include
how
to
deal
with
students
with
anxiety,
depression,
teen,
suicide,
just
a
restorative
justice
program
and
then
before
referring
the.
G
E
G
Address
concerns
with
schools
that
might
have
less
funding.
It
may
disregard
the
goals
of
the
spill.
G
Yes,
that's
a
great
question,
so
I
think
that
it
is
necessary
to
establish
a
minimum
well
that
minimum
might
not
be
as
low
as
one
to
one
thousand.
It
might
be
one
to
fifteen
hundred
and
that
way
states
can
eat.
Schools
can
ease
into
it,
but
also
if
they
need
more.
The
State
Department
of
Education
is
able
to
allow
more
counselors
to
that
school.
To
meet
the
students
needs
as
not.
Every
school
needs
the
same
amount.
It
differs
based
off
of
areas
and
other
components.
I
G
Yeah
so
I
think
a
large
component
to
this
is
the
training
that
the
counselor
would
receive
because
I
know,
School
psychologists
are
extremely
rare
to
find
in
Nevada
right
now,
however,
we
can
take
newly
certified
counselors
and
just
provide
them
that
additional
training
within
the
school
system,
and
that
way
they
can
provide
a
Maximum
Impact,
even
though
there
is
large
Staffing
shortages.
At
this
point.
F
Thank
you
chair
all
right,
so
youth
legislator,
Thornton
for
the
record
the
last
time
that
I
spoke
to
y'all
I
did
not
know
if
the
need
for
this
bill,
bdr17
was
apparent
enough.
I
knew
that
I
tried.
My
best
I
knew
that
I
put
it
all
out
there,
and
then
I
saw
that
you
all
understand
the
importance
of
the
health
and
well-being
of
every
student
in
our
state.
I
have
a
couple
more
statistics.
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
that
I
wasn't
able
to
mention
last
time.
F
Unfortunately,
as
said
by
Mark
halstad
he's
in
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics,
it
says
that
school
officials
often
fail
to
recognize
the
need
for
academic
or
environmental
adjustments,
appropriate
easy
transition
back
to
school,
the
school
environment
and
Recovery.
There
are
many
symptoms,
the
many
factors
that
correlate
with
mental
health,
symptoms
that
you
may
have
after
concussion
or
traumatic
brain
injury,
but
it
doesn't
take
away
from
the
fact
that
approximately
one
in
five
individuals
experience
mental
health
symptoms
after
a
concussion
or
TBI,
and
that's
published
in
the
National
Institutes
of
Health
study.
F
These
statistics
do
not
show
the
thoughts
you
have
when
you
are
alone,
these
accommodations
in
school,
and
this
bill
proposals
more
than
just
the
accommodations,
their
Pathway
to
students
and
student
athletes
to
get
the
help
that
they
need
being
able
to
go
to
school
and
not
spend
every
minute
of
the
recovery
process
fighting
for
their
rights
to
heal
your
head
is
the
most
important
part
of
you.
It's
where
you
think
it's
where
you
feel
it's
where
you
laugh.
F
It's
where
you
create
your
persona,
it's
where
the
neurons
and
synapses
and
dendrites
fire,
so
that
you
can
walk
and
talk
and
play
and
laugh
now.
Imagine
all
of
that
being
taken
away.
This
is
why
we
need
return
to
learn
and
return
to
play
plans
codified
in
Nevada
state
law.
As
you
heard
earlier
in
public
comment,
the
University
of
Nevada
neuromechanics
laboratory
is
a
big
supporter
of
this
bill.
That
sheet
is
in
your
folders.
The
Carson
City
School
District
supports
this
bill
as
well.
I
am
in
talks
with
the
county.
F
School
district
I
have
a
meeting
with
them
next
week
and,
as
you
know,
that
is
the
fifth
largest
school
district
in
the
country
and
they're
about
to
become
supporters
of
this
bill
and
Washoe
County
School
District
is
already
implementing
new
programs.
The
Nevada
interscholastic
Athletics
Association
is
creating
new
RTP
and
new
RTL
policies
at
the
prompting
of
the
UNR
neuromechanics
lab
and
myself.
F
I'm
excited
to
push
this
bill
forward
and
I
am
proud
to
be
able
to
help
every
single
student
in
the
state
by
hopefully
bringing
this
bill
into
law
all
without
a
fiscal
impact,
as
heard
earlier
by
superintendent
feeling,
there's
not
a
lot
of
money
right
now
for
a
lot
of
other
educational
bills.
However,
this
bill
doesn't
have
a
physical
impact
and
it
creates
so
much
good
for
every
single
student
and
student
athlete
in
this
state
I'm
grateful
to
have
every
each
and
one
of
you
by
my
side.
A
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
personal
anecdote.
So
a
peer
of
mine
was
recently
this
summer
diagnosed
with
cancer.
More
specifically,
leukemia
he's
had
trouble
returning
to
school
as
he
is,
and
honors
and
advanced
placement
classes
which
are
very
demanding.
Does
your
bill
exclude
these
students
as
I,
believe
the
verbiage
that's
used
in
your
bill
puts
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
Sports
into
injuries.
So
why
not
include
other
health
conditions.
F
As
a
personal
anecdote
from
me
is
that
I
I
am
still
concussed,
I
have
post
traumatic,
I
have
post-concussion
syndrome
and
I
have
second
impact
syndrome,
and
I
have
found
that
it's
a
lot
harder
for
people
who
can't
see
symptoms
to
give
accommodations
to
people
who
need
those
accommodations
in
school.
Whether
or
not
your
friend
you're
able
to
see
some
of
the
symptoms
of
cancer.
A
D
It
is
my
understanding
that
a
504
plan
already
exists,
and
this
requires
schools
to
accommodate
for
Disabilities
that
make
it
more
difficult
to
learn
which
concussions
do
fall
under
that
I
was
curious.
How
your
bill
kind
of
adds
to
that
and
I
guess
what
it
changes
and
then
also
I
was
curious.
How
many
youth
this
actually
affects.
F
Thank
you
for
your
question,
so
this
bill
actually
lists
a
504
as
one
of
the
possible
things
that
you
can
have
as
an
accommodation.
This
bill
is
a
lot
more
about
making
sure
that
there
are
the
list
of
accommodations
and
a
step-by-step
procedure.
504S
do
not
include
a
step-by-step
procedure.
F
I
did
not
know
that
there
was
a
504
until
three
months
into
my
concussion
for
me
to
be
able
to
have
in
school
and
getting
that
504
took
another
two
months,
because
nobody
understood
none
of
the
school
counselors
understood
and
the
people
that
I
was
talking
to
to
get
this
Federal
document
did
not
have
the
understanding,
and
we
did
not
have
another
law
in
Nevada
to
help
with
that,
and
then
to
add
to
that.
Second
part
of
your
question:
each
year
more

Thank
you,
Vice,
chair
Lyle,
my
question
to
you,
youth
legislator.
Thornton
is
since
I'm,
not
a
student
athlete
and
I
haven't
I
haven't
incurred
any
injury,
thus
far
in
my
high
school
life,
can
you
define
briefly
what
return
to
learn?
Policies
are
for
me.
F
Absolutely
I'm
not
being
a
student
athlete.
This
bill
is
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
student
student
athletes
are
students
first,
as
well
as
just
being
a
student
and
not
doing
any
sports.
So
the
return
to
learn
policy.
You
can
get
a
concussion
from
Whiplash,
you
can
get
a
concussion
from
being
in
a
car
accident
and
so
getting
that
concussion.
D
Thank
you
and
then,
if
I
have
time
a
follow-up
question,
are
there
any
Financial
Provisions
to
your
bill.
E
Hi
I'm
in
contact
with
my
state,
senator
Scott,
Hammond
I,
talked
to
him
once
or
twice
every
other
week
or
so
and
within
that
contact
he
mentioned
that
this
might
get
passed
in
like
Nevada
Senate
that
they're
taking
steps.
So
why
would
we
use
our
one
youth
legislator
Bill
to
pass
a
bill,
that's
already
being
trying
to
be
passed
in
Nevada,
Senate?
Here's
my
question
this.
F
Bill
actually
isn't
being
passionate
about
a
senate.
There
are.
The
return
to
play.
Plan
was
passed
with
a
lot
of
loopholes
in
2011..
This
adds
on
a
return
to
learn,
whereas
there
are
only
13
states,
the
United
States
who
have
done
this
Nevada
would
be
able
to
Pioneer
this
change
without
a
fiscal
impact
and
I
wouldn't
propose
a
bill
with
a
fiscal
impact,
especially
in
this
session.
E
I
said
I
didn't
say
that
there
is
one
pass.
I
said:
they're
working
on
passing
one
in
one
of
the
next
two
or
three
sessions.
F
Well,
why
I'm
making
sure
that
it
gets
past
this
session,
not
in
the
next
couple.
I
F
There
are
a
lot
of
different
Provisions,
such
as
in
football,
only
being
able
to
practice
head-to-head
once
a
week,
and
things
like
that.
My
bill
is
specifically
for
after
concussion,
because
there
are
so
many
different
ways
to
get
a
concussion.
It
is
not
just
student
athletes,
it
is
being
in
a
car
crash.
It
is
falling
off
a
roof.
There
are
so
many
different
ways
to
get
a
concussion,
and
that's
why
this
is
not
just
about
student
athletes
and
this
addresses
and
helps
those
accommodations
and
helps
every
single
student
in
Nevada.
I
F
A
Going
to
be
the
end
of
that
questioning
period,
thank
you,
legislator,
Thornton,
thank
you
to
the
legislator
and
thanks
to
again
to
all
the
youth
legislators
for
those
presentations
and
for
your
questions.
Now
that
we
have
heard
the
bdr
ideas,
I
would
like
to
give
our
members
a
quick,
three-minute
recess
to
privately
review
and
consider
the
information
that
has
been
presented.
I
would
also
like
to
remind
the
members
that
we
adhere
to
the
open
meeting
law,
so
we
cannot
discuss
the
bdr
proposals
during
break
youth
legislators.

Thank
you,
Miss
Ashdown,
the
two
bdrs
that
will
be
considered
at
our
next
meeting
are
bdr4
and
17..
Congratulations.
I
will
now
open
the
second
period
of
public
comment.
The
same
rules
mentioned
during
the
first
period
of
public
comment
apply.
Please
try
to
avoid
repeating
testimony.
If
someone
has
already
made
your
point,
each
person
will
be
asked
to
limit
testimony
to
three
minutes.
Is
there
anyone
wishing
to
testify
in
Las
Vegas?
A
A
It
appears
we
do
not
have
anyone
who
is
prepared
to
provide
public
comment
at
this
time,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
this
meeting.
We
are
now
ready
to
adjourn
after
adjournment.
We
will
move
on
to
our
training
session
for
today.
Do
any
legislators
have
any
final
thoughts
or
comments
before
adjourning.
