A
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
sorry
for
the
delay.
We
had
to
make
sure
that
everybody
had
the
appropriate
links
and
I
believe
we
have
folks
participating
from
all
over
the
state
which
is
wonderful
to
see
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order.
If
I
could
please
have
the
secretary
call
the
role.
B
C
D
A
We
have
a
work
session
on
our
agenda
today.
Subcommittee
members
who
are
joining
us
virtually
be
sure
to
keep
your
video
on.
So
we
do
have
a
quorum
as
we
work
through
our
business.
Please
also
be
sure
to
mute
your
microphone
when
you
are
not
speaking
to
minimize
any
of
the
background
noise.
All
of
our
standard
notices
we
give
folks.
Lastly,
for
anyone
on
zoom,
please
remember
that
the
chat
feature
is
only

technical
assistance
from
our
broadcast
and
production
services
staff.
A
G
G
For
the
past
several
years,
farm
bureau
members
have
expressed
their
concern
over
the
lack
of
legislative
direction
and
absence
of
specific
parameters
in
regard
to
how
conjunctive
management
is
going
to
be
carried
out
in
the
development
of
the
proposed
legislation
and
establishment
of
a
working
framework.
We
believe
that
it
should
include
a
full
public
discussion
of
what
conjunctive
management
of
water
resources
means
and
how
combining
water
rights
from
separate
sections
of
state
law
will
be
implemented.
G
The
interaction
of
water
from
various
sources
involves
many
different
elements,
and
these
include
the
time
frames
and
the
degree
to
which
connections
take
place.
We
believe
that
not
all
areas
have
the
same
connection
and
interaction
throughout
a
system,
and
this
warrants
consideration
in
implementing
active
management
that
has
consequences
to
different
water
rights.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
legislators
and
other
water
stakeholders
in
an
open
and
collaborative
process
to
find
workable
solutions.
Thank
you.
H
This
is
kyle
rohrink,
executive
director
of
the
great
basin
water
network.
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
comments
we
just
heard
from
mr
busselman
and
expound
upon
the
idea
that
we
really
should
not
be
working
to
force
what
we
call
mitigation
provisions
on
water
users.
I
think
that
could
be
a
poison
pill
that
you
know
would
really
just
torpedo
or
tank.
I
think
what
will
be
a
good
and
healthy
conversation
in
the
upcoming
session,
so
just
wanted
to
add
that
and
thank.
E
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
name
is
helen
foley
and
I
am
representing
the
american
wild
horse
federation
and
on
your
work
session
document.
F
management
of
public
lands,
its
draft,
a
position
statement
in
the
final
report
of
the
subcommittee
expressing
support
for
outcome-based
grazing
practices
on
federally
managed
lands.
C
C
We
have
cooperative
agreements
with
the
state
of
nevada,
as
well
as
the
federal
government.
We
just
received
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
through
senator
I
mean
through
congresswoman,
dina
titus
and
senator
masto,
to
allow
the
blm
and
the
nevada
department
of
wildlife
to
look
more
deeply
into
this
higher
staff
and
work
on
this
we're
very
proud
of
our
pzp
program,
which
deals
with
fertility
drugs.
C
The
foals
have
gone
down
substantially,
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
in
the
letter
that
rebecca
sent,
and
we
urge
you
to
just
take
this
off
of
your
agenda,
not
give
it
consideration
and
if
there's
further
discussion
that
needs
to
take
place.
Let's
do
that
next
session
of
the
legislature.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
bevin,
lister
for
the
record,
and
I'm
here
just
speaking
on
my
own
behalf
today.
H
The
the
concept
that
you
will
be
addressing
in
relation
to
conjunctive
management
of
water
resources
is
is
one
that
is
both
undefinable
and
indefensible,
the
as
a
water
right
owner
and
water
user.
It's
imperative
that
we
have
some
level
of
surety
or
certainty
of
the
availability
of
that
water
and
those
water
rights.
H
Nevada,
historically,
from
the
beginning,
has
had
the
strongest
the
best
water
law
in
the
nation
and
then
over
the
last
25
to
30
years.
We
have
step
by
step,
diluted
and
diminished
that
prior
appropriation
doctrine
to
a
point
where
now
we're
through
the
pleas
of
the
division
of
water
resources
that
has
been
unwilling
to
follow
the
law
as
it's
written,
we
we
need
more
tools
in
the
toolbox
and
and
I
believe,
that's
a
false
directive.
H
The
the
prior
appropriation
doctrine
and
the
historic
history
of
nevada
water
law
gives
adequate
tools,
powerful
tools
for
the
for
the
management
of
water,
conjunctive
management
in
managing
surface
water
and
groundwater
together.
It
is
is
kind
of
the
antithesis
of
the
state
law
that
it's
written.
We
have
a
chapter
for
surface
water
and
a
chapter
for
groundwater
that
those
two
resources
are
connected,
certainly,
but
on
a
basin
by
basin
approach.
H
I
guess
my
request
or
my
plea
to
you:
if
you're
going
to
make
a
change
to
nevada
water
law,
then
let's
return
it
to
what
it
should
be.
Why
don't
we
repeal
every
change
that's
been
made
in
the
last
20
years,
take
conjunctive
management
and
the
mention
of
it
completely
out
of
the
books,
because
it's
already
implied
in
the
in
the
law.
That's
there
in
the
chapters
that
are
there
so
look
forward
to
working
with
you
through
this
session.
H
E
Thank
you,
chair
carlton
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
jayna
moan
and
I'm
the
external
affairs
director
for
the
nature
conservancy
in
nevada,
tnc,
supports
recommendations,
one
two,
four,
five,
seven
and
eight
in
the
work
session
document.
Regarding
one
and
two
there's
a
crisis
on
the
colorado
river.
We
need
to
identify
and
implement
a
variety
of
tools
to
benefit
our
rivers,
increase
flexibility
for
water
users
and
bolster
the
colorado
river's
basin's
resilience
in
the
face
of
drought
and
climate
change.
E
Regarding
recommendation,
four
conjunctively
managed
systems
not
only
protect
senior
water
rights,
but
also
protect
the
health
of
the
springs
and
surface
water
systems
that
people
plants,
fish
and
wildlife
depend
on.
We
support
clarification
of
the
use
of
science
for
management
decisions
without
scientific
evidence,
decisions
could
be
determined
without
evidentiary,
showing
leaving
assessments
open-ended
and
arbitrary.
E
We
support
recommendation
7
for
ndo
endow
to
manage
non-pest
insects
and
we
suggest
broadening
the
scope
of
management
to
include
all
non-pest
invertebrate
animals.
Maintaining
invertebrate
biodiversity
is
critical
for
healthy
ecosystems
and
we
support
the
management
of
invertebrates
in
the
state
wildlife
management
plan.
E
We
are
happy
to
share
more
information
about
this,
this
project
that
we
are
working
on
with
wine
cup
campbell
ranch.
We
have
also
provided
additional
rationale
in
our
written
comment
which
we
submitted
this
morning
and
thank
you
so
much
for
considering
our
comments
and
for
the
service
that
you
all
do
to
this
committee.
A
B
B
B
Second,
there's
many
items
on
the
work
session
that
we
are
not
opposed
to,
but
I'm
not
providing
specific
comment
on
today
and
we
just
look
forward
to
working
with
folks
on
these
issues
as
they
move
forward
through
the
upcoming
session
and
lastly,
specifically
regarding
the
item
on
conjunctive
management
and
the
role
of
science
and
managing
water
resources.
Eureka
county
does
share
the
viewpoint
that
you've
heard
from
farm
bureau
and
the
great
basin
water
network,
and
we
won't
belabor
those
points.
B
And
we
are
concerned
about
that
process,
moving
forward
and
opening
the
door
for
for
that
to
mitigation
to
be
forced
on
people.
Finally,
conjunctive
management,
the
use
of
science
and
managing
water,
and
these
issues
are
currently
in
front
of
our
state
supreme
court.
And
while
we
do
support
this
bdr
moving
forward,
we
do
believe
it
may
be
wise
to
get
clarity
from
the
supreme
court
on
these
issues
before
the
legislature.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
then
I
believe
we
can
go
ahead
and
proceed,
keeping
in
mind
that
there
will
be
another
public
comment
section
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
So
with
that,
I
will
go
to
agenda
item
number
three,
which
is
approval
of
the
minutes.
Currently
we
have
the
minutes
for
may
from
may
23rd
members.
Are
there
any
questions,
comments
or
corrections
on
the
may
23rd
minutes.
A
That's
fine,
any
other
committee
members
at
this
time,
not
seeing
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
minutes.
I
would
go
ahead
and
take
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
senator
dunante,
a
second
from
assemblywomanhansen
any
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying.
I
are
raising
your
hand.
A
A
I'm
sure
we're
working
off
the
right
items
so
with
that
we
have
a
list
of
proposed
recommendations
relating
to
water,
con
conservation,
conjunctive
management
of
surface
and
groundwater
basins,
natural
resource
workforce
development,
the
state
board
on
geographic
names,
endangered
species,
management
of
public
lands
and
also
the
management
of
the
the
running
of
the
subcommittee
on
public
lands.
So
mr
stennis
back
is
going
to
go
ahead
and
walk
us
through
the
document.
A
If
we
go
too
quick
or
someone
needs
us
to
slow
down,
please
speak
up
with
all
of
us
being
in
different
spots
across
the
state.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
on
the
same
page
and
everyone
has
their
questions
or
concerns
addressed
as
we
move
through
the
work
session
document.
So
with
that,
mr
stenisbeck,
would
you
please
proceed.
D
D
You
should
have
the
work
session
document
in
front
of
you.
It's
online.
The
chair
and
staff
of
the
subcommittee
on
public
lands
have
prepared
a
workstation
document
to
assist
the
subcommittee
in
determining
which
led
measures
it
will
request
for
the
2023
session
of
the
new
legislature
as
well
as
other
actions.
The
subcommittee
may
endorse
succumbing
staff
has
compiled
organized
proposals,
so
the
subcommittee
members
can
review
them
and
decide
whether
they
want
to
accept
reject,
modify
or
take
no
action
on
the
recommendations.
D
The
work
session
document
groups
the
proposals
by
topic
and
they
are
not
in
professional
order
just
for
subcommittee's
consideration.
The
joint
germ
stand
committee
on
natural
resources
is
limited
to
14
lesson
measures,
at
least
four
of
which
must
relate
to
matters
relating
to
public
lands.
Based
on
the
recommendations
of
the
subcommittee
further,
the
subcommittee
may
vote
to
send
as
many
statements
or
letters
of
recommendation
or
support
as
it
chooses
and
includes
statements
in
its
final
report.
D
With
that,
the
first
recommendation
on
the
workstation
document
under
a1
under
water
conservation
is
to
request
the
drafting
of
a
bill
to
address
water
conservation
and
enhancement
of
return
flow
in
southern
nevada,
including
without
limitation,
the
use
of
colorado,
river
water
and
septic
systems
and
modifications
to
a
non-functional
turf
program.
This
was
recommended
based
on
testimony
during
the
may
23
2022
meeting
in
boulder
city
with
that.
Thank
you,
chair
kotlin,.
A
F
Madam
chair
senator
glick
more
of
a
comment
and
a
question
on,
and
the
only
thing
that
really
concerns
me
and
again
we
passed
a
bill
last
session
on
non-functional
turf
and
and
removing
them,
but
there
does
come
a
point
when
we
have
to
reach
a
balance
between
asphalt
and
cement
and
actual
you
know,
is
that
turf
non-functional
or
is
it
serving
a
purpose
I.e
through
cooling
transfer,
evaporation
and
we're
really
focusing
on?
F
A
And-
and
I
appreciate
that
senator
gokuchi
and
my
husband
and
I
have
had
many
comments
about
our
little
small
patch
of
front
yard-
we
have
done
everything
to
conserve,
but
we
have
that
one
little
piece
left
and
when,
when
do
we
convert
that,
it's
I
still
consider
it
functional
because
we
live
not
live
on
it
and
the
dogs
live
on
it,
but
eventually
it
will
probably
have
to
go.
I
I
think
southern
nevada
has
a
an
awakening
that
needs
to
happen
when
it
comes
comes
to
turf
we
we
do
live
in
a
desert.
A
So
as
we
move
forward,
those
conversations
will
be
evolving,
especially
here
in
in
southern
nevada.
So
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this
item?.
A
Not
seeing
any,
I
would
go
ahead
and
accept
a
motion
for
item
number
a1.
A
D
The
request
for
draft
resolution
addressing
the
management
of
the
choir
river
or
in
the
state
sets
forth
the
principles
on
water
conservation,
blade
to
the
colorado
river
and
shares
various
conservation
efforts
it
has
taken
to
conserve
water
in
the
choir
river.
This
was
based
on
testament
during
the
may
23rd
meeting
again
in
boulder
city.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
F
Not
seeing
any
madam
chairs
senator
again
just
to
comment
and
and
I'm
I'm
looking
at
this-
is
this
going
to
come
in
in
the
form
of
a
resolution
supporting
our
you
know
a
draft
position
more
or
less,
because
clearly
the
colorado
river
is
under
the
colorado,
river,
commission
and
and
and
therefore
you
know
we're
saying,
oh
we're
set
forth
principles
for
water
conservation.
A
Senator
gokuchi,
it's
my
impression
that,
as
a
legislature,
when
we
send
a
resolution,
it's
sending
a
message
of
how
we
feel
about
a
particular
issue.
I
don't
think
it
is
an
actual.
It
has
no
weight
or
authority
behind
it.
It
just
shares
our
viewpoints
with
those
that
wish
to
read
the
resolution
or
take
the
resolution
into
consideration.
So
it's
not
like
we're
proposing
a
bill
draft
to
actually
change
the
nrs.
This
is
a
more
of
a
position
statement
as
far
as
how
we're
looking
how
we're
looking
at
the
colorado
river.
Yes,.
A
A
D
Item
a3
is
to
draft
a
position
statement
in
the
final
report
of
sacramento
expressing
opposition
to
proposed
water
development
projects
in
southern
utah.
That
would
negatively
impact
groundwater
and
surface
water
flows
in
nevada
and
supporting
aggressive
conservation
alternatives,
and
this
was
based
on
recommendations
from
the
great
basin
water
network
during
the
may
23rd
2022
meeting
in
boulder
city.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
stennis,
back
in
in
history
committee
members
I'll
just
share
with
you
that
I've
always
been
a
little
apprehensive
of
one
state's
sending
resolutions
or
other
things
to
other
states.
Saying
hey.
We
don't
like
what
you're
up
to,
but
the
colorado
river
is
in
a
crisis
right
now.
This
is
not
a
resolution.
This
is
a
position
statement
which
I
believe
a
lot
of
folks
understand
where
we're
coming
from.
A
So
it
will
just
carry
the
weight
as
a
statement
from
this
committee
about
concerns
of
future
development
on
the
river
without
conservation
measures
being
taken
at
this
time.
So
that's
kind
of
where
we're
coming
from
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
on
the
record,
because
I
figured
it
was
probably
going
to
come
up
so
with
that.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
on
this
position
statement.
I
A
I
Sorry
about
that,
I
hope
this
is
better.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
I
I
concur,
and
I
just
had
a
question:
I'm
not
as
familiar.
You
know
with
position,
statements
versus
other
ways
of
drafting
it
and
just
a
question
a
lot
of
times.
We
maybe
look
for
cooperative
agreements
or
cooperative.
I
don't
know
if
there's
such
a
thing
as
a
cooperative
statement
is,
is
there
any
chance
to
maybe
look
at
it
in
that?
In
that
light,
instead
of
an
opposition
statement
per
the
comments
that
you
made.
A
I
I
F
Madam
chair,
if
I
may
send
her
guitars.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
and
I
I
agree
with
where
the
assembled
woman
is
headed.
You
know
we're
going
to
express
our
opposition
and,
but
maybe
also
a
a
follow-up
to
that
that
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
you
know
on
on
the
impacts
to
the
colorado
and
maybe
soften
the
opposition.
Again
we're
one
state
to
another
state.
A
Sure
I
absolutely
understand
where
you're
coming
from.
Maybe
I
I
think
what
might
make
everyone
a
little
more
comfortable
is.
We
can
change
the
word
opposition
to
concerns
and
look
forward
to
working
them
working
with
them
on
addressing
those
concerns
in
the
future.
A
I
believe
we
have
a
long
list
of
data
points
that
could
be
used
to
substantiate
the
concerns
and
I
think
the
letter
will
be
or
the
position
statement
will
probably
be
interpreted
as
opposition,
but
we
could
use
the
word
concerns
if
that
makes
folks
a
little
more
comfortable
that
we're
expressing
our
concern
to
those
to
that
development
and
the
adverse
effects
that
it
could
have
on
southern
nevada.
F
A
A
So
I
would
take
a
motion
to
process
item
a3
I'll,
take
a
motion
from
assemblywoman
hanson
and
a
second
from
commissioner
jones.
Any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion.
A
D
A
Thank
you,
mr
stenisbeck.
This
is
going
to
be
a
very
interesting
bill
draft
I
can
tell
we
did
hear
a
lot
of
comments
about.
We
thought
we
had
it
right,
the
first
time
in
boulder
city,
but
apparently
there's
still
some
things
that
folks
feel
leave
to
be
interpreted
within
the
nrs,
even
though
we
thought
we
said
it
pretty
clearly.
A
So
I
guess
if
we
didn't
say
it
clearly
enough
the
first
time
we're
going
to
have
to
make
it
even
clearer
the
second
time
around
this
is
one
of
those
issues
that
I
am
grateful.
I
will
not
be
in
the
legislature
next
session.
So
with
that,
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
item
number
b4,
knowing
that
this
bill
will
be
thoroughly
vetted.
A
D
D
The
program
would
provide
a
hiring
advantage
to
a
person
who
served
with
mri
corps
in
the
state
and,
lastly,
this
measure
would
seek
to
promote
outreach
efforts
by
applicable
state
agencies
to
americorps
volunteers,
so
that
such
persons
are
aware
of
natural
resources,
jobs,
opportunities
in
the
state,
and
this
recommendation
was
made
by
mr
stanton,
the
executive
director
of
the
walker
basin
conservancy
during
his
presentation
of
may
23rd
in
boulder
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
smithspec.
So
with
that,
I
find
this
a
a
very
interesting
recommendation.
It's
all
about
growing
our
own.
My
my
I
really
like
the
I,
the
idea
behind
this
so
with
that
committee
members
any
other
thoughts
on
this
particular
item.
A
A
D
Thank
you
chair
for
the
record
junction
spec
with
the
research
division.
The
lcb
d6
requests
the
drafting
of
the
bill
to
amend,
applicable
nrs,
to
authorize
members
of
the
mass
state
board
and
geographic
names
to
receive
reimbursement
for
incidental
expenses
and
to
be
entitled
to
receive
the
per
diem
allowance
and
travel
expenses
provided
for
state
officers
and
employees
generally.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
stennis
back.
I've
always
been
a
firm
believer
that
if
we
ask
people
to
serve,
it
should
not
come
out
of
their
own
pockets.
At
least
we
should
address
it,
and
the
update
that
we
got
from
this
board
is.
There
is
a
lot
of
work
in
front
of
them
over
the
next
couple
of
years
to
deal
with
some
of
the
issues,
so
I
I
believe
we
need
to
be
reasonable
and
compensate
them
for
the
work
that
they
do.
A
Public
service
is
one
thing,
but
we
we
we
shouldn't,
have
anyone
not
serving
because
they
can't
financially
afford
to.
We
want
people
to
serve,
and
I
just
think
it's
reasonable
to
to
deal
with
that.
So
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
item
number
d6.
A
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
for
record
young
students
back
with
the
research
division
of
lcb
e7
is
to
request
the
drafting
of
a
bill
to
authorize
the
nevada
department
of
wildlife
to
manage
non-past
insects,
including
for
lamentation
endangered
butterflies.
This
recommendation
was
based
on
testimony
for
a
presentation
from
a
center
for
biological
diversity
during
the
subcommittee's
june
27
meeting
in
nixon
nevada.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
A
Daily
senator
gokuchi.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
I
just
can't
support
this
particular
bill
draft.
You
know
I'm
concerned
about,
you
know
non-pest
insects
and
especially
in
the
event
they
are
endangered.
I
I
think
there
was
an
inherent
conflict
between
endow
managing.
F
You
know,
game
species
on
one
side
and
then
having
endangered
species
on
the
other.
I'm
just
concerned
about
that.
A
I
understand
senator
gokuchi,
I
I
ask
those
some
of
those
same
same
questions.
It's
my
understanding
and
staff
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
that
currently
right
now,
they're
not
monitored
by
anyone
at
all
they're
kind
of
out
there
on
their
own,
so
we're
just
trying
to
find
a
home
for
them,
because
we
know
it
can
be
an
issue
as
we
move
forward
in
the
state
is,
is.
Is
that
correct?
A
So
currently,
they're
not
done
by
anyone
so
trying
to
figure
out
where
their
best
home
might
be
moving
forward.
So
with
that
assemblywoman
hanson,
I
believe
I
saw
your
hand
go
up.
I
Yes,
the
madam
chair,
thank
you.
I
too
have
some
reservations.
I,
as
I
recall
at
the
public
lands
meeting
in
nixon.
A
I
understand-
and
we
know
full
well
that
when
we
recommend
a
bill
draft
to
the
full
committee
of
natural
resources
and
then
the
full
committee
of
natural
resources
will
draft
that
bill
and
take
it
before
hearing
and
that's
when
that
committee
will
get
a
lot
more
information
and
decide.
Is
this
really
the
right
place
for
it
to
be,
or
is
there
another
alternative?
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
the
conversation
and
the
bill
draft
will
start
that
conversation
so
supporter
opposition
to
a
bill
draft
moving
forward.
A
I
just
feel
it's
more
about
putting
this
on
the
table
in
front
of
natural
resources
in
the
next
legislative
session
and
have
them
actually
address
the
issue
and
get
the
information
needed
for
the
committee
members
in
the
full
legislature
to
make
a
decision
on
it.
So,
even
though
I
am
a
little
uncomfortable
with
it,
I'd
like
to
have
that
conversation
proceed
so
I'll,
be
supporting
it
strictly.
For
that
reason,
so
that
that
conversation
can
move
forward
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
members
at
this
time.
A
F
D
Thank
you,
chair
for
record
young
students
back
item
f.
Eight
is
to
draft
a
position
statement
in
the
final
report
of
succumbing
expressing
support
for
outcome
based
grazing
practices
on
federally
managed
lands.
This
recommendation
was
based
on
testimony
during
the
april
fifteenth
meeting
in
italy
nevada.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
And
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mr
snesback
and
I
I
do
have
a
question
because
unfortunately
I
was
unable
to
attend
in
ely
and
we
did
have
some
comments
and,
I
believe,
are
some
concerns
about
this
position
statement,
possibly
having
some
impact
on
wild
horses
on
the
range
and
it's
my
understanding
that
this
really
has
has
nothing
to
do
with
that
that
that
was
not
part
of
the
conversation.
A
This
was
strictly
about
those
particular
ranches
that
were
being
addressed,
but
unfortunately
I
was
not
sharing
that
meeting.
That
day,
chair
watts
was
chairing
the
meeting.
So
if
anyone
else
has
any
questions
or
concerns,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
the
record
that
this
statement
is
not
directed
at
wild
horses.
We
have
kept
wild
horses
out
of
the
conversation
of
public
lands
for
this
interim,
so
nothing
we
have
done
addresses
wild
horses.
So
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this
item?.
F
Madam
chair
senator
greg
for
the
record
just
a
comment
and
clearly
you're
right
on
point
with
this.
This
is
about
outcome-based
grazing
and
does
not
does
not
take
the
horses
either
increase
the
reduction
of
wild
horse
herds
into
this
whatsoever.
It's
not
a
man
wild
horse
management
program.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
D
Thank
you
chair
for
the
record
junction
spec,
with
the
research
division
of
the
lcb
item.
G9
is
to
send
a
letter
to
join,
to
join
them
committee
on
landsat
operations
and
elections
through
which
the
subcommittee
will
propose
certain
statutory
changes.
Specifically,
this
letter
will
propose
to
amend
subsection
six
of
nrs
to
18e
point
510,
so
that
the
chair
of
the
joint
mustang
committee
on
natural
resources
in
consultation
with
the
chair
of
the
subcommittee
public
lands,
will
appoint
alternate
members
of
the
subcommittee.
D
This
action
will
occur
during
the
first
regular
meeting
of
the
committee
and,
secondly,
amend
paragraphs,
a
and
b
of
subsection
1
of
nrs
to
18e
0.510,
to
ensure
that
one
member
of
the
senate
and
one
member
of
the
assembly
are
members
of
the
joint
parties
of
the
majority
parties
of
the
senate
and
assembly
respectively,
and
one
member
of
the
senate
and
one
mayor
of
the
assembly
are
members
of
the
minority
parties
of
the
senate
and
assembly
respectively.
This
was
recommended
by
chair
cotton.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
stunispec.
This
is,
I
see
this
as
the
typical
cleanup
language
when
the
interim
change,
when
the
the
bill
draft
to
change
the
committees
around
and
more
of
the
interim
structure
that
we're
doing
I
lost
the
battle
on
having
public
lands,
be
its
own
committee,
so
that's
done
and
over
with
moving
forward,
even
though,
if
I
could
get
away
with
a
bill
draft
to
do
that
right
now,
I
probably
would,
but
I
won't
so
with
that.
A
This
will
address
some
of
the
technical
issues
and
cleanup
language
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
natural
resources
committee
and
the
subcommittee
on
public
lands
can
get
its
work
done
through
the
next
legislative
interim.
So
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
item
number
g,
assemblywoman,
hanson,.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
really
just
a
comment.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
in
particular
for
bringing
this
forward
on
on
public
lands,
I'm
the
recipient
of
the
your
bipartisanship
and
trying
to
make
sure
they
stay
balanced
and
you're,
codifying
it
with
the
recommendation
of
codifying
it.
I
So
I
do
certainly
appreciate
that
we
have
representation
on
both
assembly
and
the
senate
on
this
committee
and
just
a
an
indulgence
that
you
will
be
missed
and
have
appreciated
how
you
have
been
so
open
to
all
parts
of
the
state
and
hearing
and
being
reasonable,
and
I
would
have
loved
to
have
co-sponsored
that
public
lands
committee
bill.
A
A
A
Hearing
none,
no
opposition
passes
unanimously
of
the
members
present.
Thank
you
all
committee,
very
much
for
being
prepared
and
doing
your
homework
to
make
this
work
session
flow
very
smoothly,
as
we
get
ready
for
the
last
public
comments
section.
I
would
just
like
to
say
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
share
this.
I
thank
the
chair
for
allowing
me
to
chair
public
lands.
For
the
last
time,
public
lands
was
chaired
by
senator
dean
rhodes
since
its
creation,
and
he
was
the
single
chair
for
over
two
decades.
A
I
believe
I
remember
right,
and
I
was
the
first
woman
and
the
first
democrat
and
the
first
southerner
to
ever
chair
public
lands,
and
it
was
my
honor
to
do
it
back
in
the
day.
I
learned
a
lot.
We
are
a
big
state
and
we
all
need
to
understand
what
our
neighbors
face
every
single
day
and
public
lands
is
the
committee
with
the
state
being
controlled
mostly
by
the
federal
government.
It's
a
very
important
committee
that
we
stay
in
tune
with
everyone
on
public
lands.
A
A
H
I
think
it's
important
to
understand,
even
though,
even
though
there
might
be
the
concept
out
there,
that
nobody
is
looking
at
or
monitoring
our
non-pest
insects,
especially
endangered
butterflies,
anything
that
receives
a
protected
status
through
the
u.s
fish
and
wildlife
service,
it's
monitored
and
managed
by
the
u.s
fish
and
wildlife
service
and
endow
has
lost
its
position
and
authority
once
that
species
been
listed
so,
depending
on
how
this
is
worded,
you
could
end
up
in
a
conflict
with
federal
law
in
in
who
has
management,
authority
or
jurisdiction
along
the
same
lines,
and
this
is
certainly
my
personal
opinion.
H
Nevada
department
of
wildlife
has
is
not
now
and
has
not
been
for
many
decades,
a
wildlife
management
agency.
They
are
simply
an
environmental
advocacy
organization
and-
and
I
think
it's
a
especially
telling
that
they're
they're
being
supported
in
this
move
by
another
environmental
advocacy
organization.
H
The
the
situation
with
our
wildlife
would
be
very
different
and
just
as
a
side
note,
if
it
is
the
purpose
and
wish
of
the
legislature
to
destroy
all
non-pest
insects,
including
endangered
butterflies,
then
by
all
means
assign
them
to
the
department
of
wildlife
they've
very
successfully
destroyed,
mule
deer
herds.
Sage
grouse
populations.
A
I
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that
committee.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work,
the
meeting
of
natural
resources.
We
need
a
30-minute
turnaround.
It
is
1002,
so
I
ran
two
minutes
behind
darn.
It
was
planning
on
being
done
at
10
o'clock.
We
will
gear
up
natural
resources
with
chairman
watts,
at
hopefully
about
10
35,
so
everyone
take
a
short
break
and
we'll
see
you
all
at
about
10
35.
