A
C
Thank
you,
chair
miller,
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
john
quant,
I'm
with
convention
of
states
and
I'm
I'd
like
to
address
a
couple
of
things
today.
One.
I
would
like
to
extend
the
invitation
for
a
speaker
series
for
state
legislators.
It's
designed
specifically
for
state
legislators.
The
convention
of
states
is
sponsoring
beginning
on
june
23rd.
C
That
will
include
michael
ferris,
robert
professor
robert
natalson
mark
meckler,
our
president
and
the
honorable
rick
santorum,
as
speakers
there'll
be
opportunity
to
also
interface
at
the
end
of
each
of
the
day,
presentations
about
an
hour
long
each.
C
The
other
thing
is,
I
wanted
to
talk
quickly
about
election
integrity,
my
wife
and
I
will
work
the
washoe
elections
for
the
last
two
weeks
plus
election
day,
and
I
did
so
you
know
to
help
out,
but
also
to
take
a
look
at
the
integrity
of
the
network
and
the
security,
and
I
I've
put
put
in
systems
for
the
government
for
almost
three
decades
department
of
defense,
critical
infrastructure,
and
I
can
tell
you
I'm
convinced
we
do
not
have
a
secure
election
system
not
even
close,
and
I
was
prompted
to
do
that
by
our
former
secretary
of
state
dean
heller.
C
So
I
just
that's
the
end
of
my
comment.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time,
appreciate
it
and
for
your
service
too,.
A
A
A
Moving
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
the
approval
of
the
minutes
for
the
meeting
on
april
29
2022,
all
members
were
emailed
the
draft
minutes
which
were
provided
in
advance
of
this
meeting
and
posted
on
the
committee's
website
committee
members.
I
trust
that
you
all
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
minutes.
Are
there
any
questions
on
the
minutes.
A
B
A
Senator
canezaro,
okay,
and
that
makes
it
unanimous
thank
you
and
the
motion
passes
next
on
the
agenda.
We
have
the
overview
of
the
commission
to
study
governmental
purchase
seed
according
to
nrs
332-215,
commonly
known
as
the
nevada,
public
purchasing
study
commission
and
an
update
on
the
commission's
recent
activities.
A
Our
presenter
today
is
monica
shearer
howden,
co-chair
of
the
commission
to
just
to
study
governmental
purchasing.
She
will
be
presenting
on
zoom
and
there
is
also
a
powerpoint
presentation.
I
understand,
while
the
topic
of
governmental
purchasing
typically
falls
under
the
purview
of
the
government
affairs
committee
assembly.
Bill
443
of
the
2021
legislative
session
specifies
that
the
joint
interim
standing
committee
on
legislative
operations
and
elections
has
the
authority
to
evaluate
and
review
issues
related
to
governmental
purchasing.
A
A
Ms
shear
houdin
has
already
submitted
the
commission's
report
for
2022
to
this
committee
and
a
copy
is
included
in
the
materials
in
the
agenda
with
that
we
are
ready,
and
so
please
proceed
when
you
are.
E
Thank
you
good
afternoon
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
public
purchasing
study,
commission,
and
I
will
often
refer
to
that
as
the
nppsc
throughout
the
presentation.
We
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
My
name
is
monica
scherhauden
and
I
am
currently
the
nppsc
co-chair
representing
northern
nevada.
We
do
have
a
so.
We
have
an
additional
co-chair
for
the
southern
nevada
position
and
we
actually
had
a
transition
recently
where
our
previously
co-chair
for
the
south
had
vacated
the
position.
So
we
have
recently
elected
a
new,
a
new
representative
for
that.
E
I
don't
anticipate
reading
all
of
the
details,
because
that
might
be
a
little
cumbersome,
but
basically
I've
outlined
them
on
each
of
the
screens
that
you
will
see,
and
it
kind
of
gives
a
really
clear
snapshot
of
why
we
are
to
exist
and
what
we
are
to
do.
So
there
is
this
first
one
that
represents
how
what
the
required
attendance
and
membership
would
be,
as
well
as
those
that
can
participate
in
the
group.
E
Our
meetings
can
go
anywhere
from
one
to
two
to
possibly
three
hours
each
and
when
we
are
in
an
active
legislative
session,
we
can
meet
in
upwards
of
either
weekly
if
we
are
doing
certain
tasks
or
as
minimal
as
usual
on
a
monthly
basis.
E
E
E
So
the
purpose
of
our
commission,
as
well
as
being
required
by
law,
is
that
we
review
and
actively
study
governmental
procurement
laws,
practices
and
related
items
to
those
chapters
under
nrs
that
impact
the
public
and
state
purchasing.
Those
chapters
are
333
332,
which
is
public
procurement
and
338,
which
is
public
works.
E
E
Again,
this
just
kind
of
goes
over
what
our
meetings
are
entailed.
We
have
a
cook.
We
have
the
two
co-chairs
and
we're
required
to
have
a
secretary
and
the
secretary
keeps
minutes
of
the
meetings
and
maintains
complete
and
accurate
history
of
records
for
the
commission
and
the
minute
updates.
The
agenda
also
includes
approval
of
the
previous
meeting
minutes
and
those
are
posted
at
each
of
the
officer's
normal
place:
business
in
court,
in
accordance
with
the
nevada,
opening
meeting
law,
nrs
chapter
241.
E
E
E
When
it
comes
to
expenses,
the
commission
does
not
have
a
budget
and
we
do
not
charge
for
membership.
Each
member
is
responsible
for
equitably
funding
activities
relating
to
our
functions.
Should
they
be
required
or
necessary
and
other
than
officers.
There
is
no
operational
staff
or
clerical
support
to
our
commission.
E
E
E
All
changes
to
the
nrs
that
we
manage
to
achieve
in
the
past
has
been
through
the
assistance
of
a
legislator
or
committee
that
chose
to
sponsor
the
original
issue,
or
was
language
that
was
incorporated
during
the
amendment
process
to
another
bill
with
a
similar
subject
for
of
law.
So
oftentimes
we
present
the
bdr
that
is
basically
kind
of
adopted
by
somebody
else,
and
they
become
our
champion
to
move
that
forward.
E
Our
task
force,
as
I
mentioned
before,
begin
breaking
down
the
changes
that
we
see
coming
down
the
pike
and
we
may
make
a
type
of
laundry
list
of
recommendations,
changes
and
best
case
scenarios
for
change,
and
we
come
to
a
consensus
of
what
would
be
presented
to
the
legislature
in
more
of
a
united
front
without
a
bdr
sponsor.
However,
the
recommendations,
changes
and
best
case
scenarios
for
changes
may
result
in
a
fruitless
endeavor
depending
on
the
session.
E
So
there
is
a
lot
of
work
and
a
lot
of
thought
and
a
lot
of
passion
that
goes
into
what
our
commission
will
present
and
we
are
often
at
the
mercy
of
somebody
to
be
able
to
move
those
forward
for
us,
and
this
recently
changed
in
terms
of
the
the
funneling
of
that
information
through
the
ab443
revision
to
the
or
amendment
excuse
me
to
the
nrs
law
does
not
mean
that
it's
more
difficult
or
less
impactful.
It's
just
a
different
realm
and
we're
okay
with
that.
E
E
Again,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
this
was
just
a
very
brief
overview
of
what
we
have
going
on
with
our
commission.
It
is
I
I
have
to.
I
have
to
say
that
there
are
many
agencies
throughout
nevada
that
represent
our
group
and
we
are
very
cohesive
team.
We
are
very
professional
towards
each
other's
opinions,
thoughts
and
ideas,
and
there
is
quite
a
passion
for
what
we
do
in
our
procurement
world
as
well
as
other.
E
I
am,
I
don't
have
a
heavy
background
in
how
legislation
works
or
how
government
laws
are
passed.
So
it
is
definitely
a
learning
experience
and
a
great
opportunity
to
expand
the
horizons
in
my
career.
So
with
that,
are
there
any
questions
that
I
may
be
able
to
answer
today
and
if
not,
I
am
certainly
happy
to
get
answers
to
questions
that
I
may
not
have
an
answer
to.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
yes,
that
is
absolutely.
If
there's
questions
you're
not
able
to
that,
you
don't
have
the
answer
readily
available
for
you.
We
ask
that
you
would
submit
it
to
the
committee
when
you're
able
to
obtain
that
answer.
Okay
and
so
with
that
members.
Any
questions.
A
Okay,
then
I
I'm
going
to
ask
quite
a
few
questions,
because
if,
if
we
go
back
to
last
session,
one
of
the
concerns
with
this
commission
to
study
governmental
purchasing
was
there
did
there
just
didn't
seem
to
be,
it
seemed
to
be
operate
in
a
more
fluid
way
than
we
really
understood.
A
And
so,
while
I
appreciate
the
presentation
I
still
have
you
know,
I
really
do
still
have
some
honest
questions
about
the
operation
of
this
commission.
So
first
would
be
you've
addressed
that
you
don't
have
a
website,
and
so
can
you
explain?
How
do
you
comply
with
open
meeting
laws,
and
so
when
it
comes
to
things
because
even
going
through
the
internet,
it's
very
difficult
to
find
information,
and
when
I
do
it's
not
recent.
E
I'll
do
my
best,
and
also
I'm
more
than
happy
to
gather
additional
information
to
to
support
an
answer
to
your
question.
E
I
let
the
the
minimum,
under
the
requirements
of
our
permission,
is
to
have
the
officers
post
those
agendas
and
minutes
in
a
in
within
their
place
of
business
and
some
of
the
agencies.
Our
school
district
included,
have
multiple
sites
that
are
considered
operational
locations.
E
We
I
currently
post
our
agenda
and
meeting
minutes
in
a
common
hallway,
that's
located
in
our
building
that
is
under
a
main,
build,
but
like
a
main
wall
ward,
however,
we
are
getting
more
in
the
habit
of
providing
copies
of
those,
also
at
our
administration,
building
on
9th
street,
as
well
as
some
other
key
points
and
within
the
school
district
and
the
south
co-chair
will,
of
course,
post
in
their
location
as
well
as
our
secretary.
E
However,
my
experience
is
that
when
the
meeting
minutes
and
agendas
go
out-
but
there
are,
each
of
our
members
are
logistically
posting
in
their
locations
as
well,
and
we
have
a
list
served
that
those
also
are
sent
out
as
soon
as
they
are
ready,
and
that
includes
all
agencies
that
we
have
been
able
to
register
on
the
listserv
to
kind
of
broaden
that
distribution.
E
E
It
has
been
on
our
radar
for
many
years
and
I
just
believe
from
you
know
the
the
group's
ideas
about
it
is
that
we
would
be
concerned
that
the
website
would
go
up
and
then
we
would
lack
the
ability
to
maintain
it
with
like
possible
overturns
within
the
the
commission
or
people
vacating
retiring,
the
signing
and
right
now
we
are
just
not
quite
sure
how
to
tackle
that,
and
but
we
do
recognize
the
importance
of
it,
especially
in
the
world
that
we
operate
in
today,
where
more
things
are
able
to
be
found
using
the
internet,
and
it's
also
a
key
component
that
could
be
linked
from
any
one
of
our
department
website
pages.
E
I
I
in
my
personal
opinion
I
believe,
doing
as
much
as
we
can
to
get
the
word
out
as
well
as
those
of
us
that
are
part
of
the
commission
and
just
spreading
word
of
mouth
and
what
it
is
that
we
do.
A
B
E
B
B
A
Can
you
can
you
send
that
copy
to
me
as
well,
because
I
heard
something
in
there
about
again
their
public
website
or
their
public
body
and
it
because
again
they're
not
part
of
washoe
schools.
They
may
have
a
representative
from
a
school
district,
but
that's
not
the
same
as
it
being
their
body.
I
guess
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
is
who
is
them
as
their
governmental
body.
B
Minors
I'll
send
you
a
copy
of
the
my
understanding
is,
it
would
be
the
principal
office
of
the
commission
to
study
governmental
purchasing.
I
don't
know
where
that
office
is
or
if
it
is,
but.
A
Okay
right
because
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
what
is
the
principal
office
of
them
also,
could
you
give
us
some
specifics
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
list
or
somewhere
where
it's
posted,
of
which
agencies
actually
participate
and
who
their
members
are?
You
there's
it's
provided
in
the
powerpoint
about
the
requirements
around
the
members,
but
if
you
could
provide
us
with
which
agencies
and
and
who
those
members
are
and
again,
if
you
don't
have
that
readily
available,
if
you
could
submit
that
to
us.
E
Absolutely
we
do
maintain
a
full,
a
full
list
of
all
active
members
as
well
as,
however
many
members
they
have
in
their
agency
and
they
have
their
it's
a
full
list.
It
has
emails
and
contact
information
as
well.
I'm
happy
to
share
that
with
everybody
and
just
going
back
to
the
principal
office
of
the
nppsc.
E
E
A
Also,
can
you
because,
obviously,
governmental
spending
is
something
that
we're
all
deeply
interested
in?
Can
you
just
give
us
just
briefly,
maybe
a
few
of
the
issues
or
so
when
you're
looking
to
study
governmental
spending?
What
what
are
some
things
that
you
have
been
in
this
past
year,
currently
working
or
researching.
E
Which
has
to
do
with
the
publications
of
legal
notices
through
coming
through
agencies
and
currently
the
way
it's
written
states
that
it
has
to
be
put
into
a
local
publication.
Perhaps
you
know
like
for
washoe
county,
it's
rgj
or
northern.
You
know
and
other
subdivisions
might
have
their
smaller
newspaper
rounds.
E
It
does
not
allow
an
additional
opportunity
to
actually
post
on
an
on
the
internet
or
on
a
web
page.
E
Excuse
me,
the
newspaper
and
a
website
posting
being
able
to
decide
which
one
might
be
best
financially
for
the
group,
as
well
as
the
taxpayers
who
are
funding
the
operational
budgets
would
be.
It
would
not
only
bring
us
into
how
the
world
operates
right
now
using
the
internet
heavily,
but
it
would
also
save
quite
a
bit
of
money.
Our
group
currently
is
is
also
working
on.
E
Perhaps
what
we're
trying
to
put
together
a
cost
sheet
of
what
all
of
our
commission
members
and
agencies
spend
on
and
like
an
average
on
an
annual,
depending
on
how
many
solicitations
you
send
out
so
that.
A
A
Okay-
and
I
don't
mean
to
cut
you
off
with
that-
and
I
understand
that-
that's
in
part
of
your
request
for
the
bdr,
but
if
you
could
briefly
tell
me-
because
I
imagine
that's
not
what
you've
spent
this
whole
past
year
discussing
and
because
we
can't
find
any
minutes
or
agendas
what
things
you
know
governmental
spending.
I
would
imagine
that
that
most
nevadans,
when
they
hear
that
they
think
of
okay
for
education
or
health
care,
even
equipment
for
national
guard,
like
when
you're
talking
about
governmental
spending,
that
you're,
researching
and
studying.
E
Okay,
so
yes,
it's
not
just
that
one
we
have.
We
have
actually
tackled
several
over
the
last
four
years
or
four
to
six
years.
E
Some
have
to
do
with
the
whether
or
not
we
would
sunset
the
requirement
for
for
the
allowance
to
do
public
works
through
the
use
of
a
construction
manager
at
risk,
which
is
a
seymour,
and
we
have
found
great
benefits
in
that
type
of
process
to
hire
a
contractor,
who
will
then
become
part
of
a
design
team
that
includes
the
owner,
the
architects
and
several
other
consultants
establishing
a
new
facility
and
having
that
feedback
and
ownership,
as
as
a
shared
capacity
within
a
project.
E
A
I'm
sorry
I
believe
so.
Yes,
okay,
that's
what
we
would
appreciate,
not
necessarily
because
we're
I'm
just
trying
to
get
kind
of
the
topics
that
have
been
discussed,
not
necessarily
the
findings,
but
the
topics.
But
again
that's
a
question
too.
Is
then,
if
you're
studying
something?
Where
are
these
findings
and
the
recommendations,
you
know
the
results
of
your
work,
so
if
that
could
be
submitted
to
us
as
well.
E
Yes,
we
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
an
individual.
His
name
is
dan
marin.
He
is
with
the
city
of
sparks
and
he
is
very
generous
with
his
time.
He
actually
keeps
a
very
thorough
list.
It's
in
an
excel
easy
to
read
type
format
where
there's
multiple
sheets
that
will
have
all
of
the
recommend
or
all
the
bdrs
coming
through
or
the
changes
that
are
impacted
all
the
way
through
what
the
final
result
was
and
how
our
group
may
or
may
not
have
participated
in
those
changes.
A
Thank
you,
members.
Any
additional
questions.
D
I
was
just
wondering
where
the
biennial
report
is
for
us
to
look
at.
Is
it
in
our
packet
because
I
didn't
see
it.
E
I
was
I
presented,
I
provided
it
on
on
monday
and
if
it's
not,
I'm
certainly
happy
to
share
it
on
my
screen.
D
A
D
A
D
A
All
right
well
not
seeing
any
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
this
agenda
item.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
our
next
agenda
item.
We
will
have
an
update
on
campaign
disclosure
requirements
for
political
advertisements
sent
through
text
messaging
person
to
assembly
bill
166..
A
We
have
it
and
he
is
ready
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections
from
the
office
of
secretary
of
state
mark
veloson.
So
mr
velashin
please
proceed
when
you
are
ready.
G
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
joint
interim
standing
committee
on
legislative
operations
elections.
My
name
is
mark
velasquez,
I'm
the
deputy
secretary
of
state
for
elections
for
the
record,
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
real
quick.
I
have
a
few
slides
that
I
believe
you
should
have
in
front
of
you
as
well.
G
So
quick
reminder:
this
was
a
relatively
small
change,
but
a
significant
one
to
our
campaign
finance
requirements
in.
In
summary,
it
added
a
requirement
that
it
already
exists
for
campaign
signs
that
you
may
see
an
individual's
yards
or
out
alongside
roads,
where,
if
an
individual
committee
for
political
action,
political
party
or
committee
sponsored
by
a
party
spends
more
than
a
hundred
dollars
for
the
purpose
of
funding
a
text
message
than
they
need
to
identify
who
it
came
from.
G
Since
the
implementation,
we've
only
received
two
complaints
identifying
violations
potential
violations
of
this,
this
updated
statute,
you
can
see
the
dates
that
we
received
them
on.
There
both
came
from
the
same
individual.
Actually,
so
here
are
the
actions
taken
and
I'll
be
very
brief
in
this
as
well.
The
the
review
of
the
allegations
well
just
to
help
illustrate
it.
First
and
foremost,
this
is
what
the
text
message
that
was
complained
about
what
they
looked
like.
There
were
two
separate
text
messages
on
two
separate
days.
G
G
In
the
original
complaint,
the
allegation
was
that
it
went.
These
text
messages
were
sent
to
multiple
republicans
in
assembly
district
13..
We
did
a
little
bit
of
research
as
well
identified
the
number
of
active,
registered
voters
in
summit
district
13
and
identified
first
and
foremost
how
many
individuals
it
could
potentially
have
impact
impacted.
Again.
We
really
don't
have
an
indication
or
a
solid
number
of
how
many
folks
it
did
go
to
outside
of
the
the
comment
that
it
did
go
to
multiple
republicans
and
that
number
becomes
significant.
G
When
we
started
to
look
into
the
the
next
question,
we
were
trying
to
identify
it
if
this
was
a
violation
in
the
first
place
again,
the
requirement
is
only
if
one
expends
more
than
a
hundred
dollars
to
finance
the
text
message
not
being
privy
to
the
costs
of
political
text
messages.
I
started
to
look
into
it.
Along
with
my
staff.
We
identified
a
number
of
services
and
recognized
that
you
know
in
this
case
again
for
80
a
month
an
individual
could
send
out
approximately
2
000
text
messages.
G
This
service
again
less
than
100,
if
you
spend
100
or
more-
which
of
course
would
have
crossed
the
threshold
that
could
have
reached
4,
800
individuals
or
approximately
1500.
If
not,
and
then
this
third
and
last
one
again,
approximately
a
thousand
individuals
could
have
received
a
text
message,
as
indicated
in
the
examples,
without
it
crossing
the
threshold.
G
We
also
looked
at
the
nature
in
the
the
character
of
the
messages
you
know
we
identified
that
again.
It
was
really
against
mr
and
mrs
hibbett's.
So,
ultimately,
there
were
six
other
candidates
that
could
maybe
have
initiated
the
violation.
G
We
also
looked
at
the
phone
numbers
that
the
the
text
messages
came
from,
as
many
of
you
have
probably
experienced
it's
very
easy
for
someone
to
spoof
or
provide
a
fake
phone
number
when
sending
text
messages.
These
days,
I
personally
received
a
number
of
text
messages
that
were
maybe
one
or
two
digits
off
from
my
own
phone
number.
We
tried
contacting
the
phone
numbers.
G
It's
still
not
exactly
clear
that
the
text
messages
themselves
did
in
fact
cost
more
than
a
hundred
dollars
two
again
we're
not
sure
who
they
could
have
come
from
on
one
hand,
it
could
have
come
from
one
of
those
other
six
individual
candidates
could
have
been
someone
from
a
different
political
party
or
even
just
an
opinionated
voter
who
wanted
to
express
a
message.
I
mentioned
that
simply
to
highlight
the
difficulty
and
enforcement,
but
I
do
want
to
reassure
you
that
again
we're
not
done.
G
We
are
still
continuing
to
look
into
this,
try
to
identify
the
originator
of
these
messages
and
then,
lastly,
I
do
want
to
mention
you
know
we
when
I
drafted
these
slides
to
present
on
sunday,
especially
this
bottom
bullet.
Here
we
had
93
election
integrity
violation
reports.
I
will
tell
you
we're
over
180
as
of
today,
given
the
number
that
have
continued
to
come
in.
So
all
of
this,
this
message,
mr
veloson,
is.
G
Yes,
ma'am
understand
again
really.
The
point
here
is
simply
that
we're
tending
to
identify
a
way
to
be
able
to
address
texting
concerns
pursuant
to
some
of
the
166
in
a
more
timely
manner.
G
B
So
what
the
rules
apply,
because
the
overall
cost
is
more
than
100,
not
just
the
monthly
cost
and
then
looking
at
the
two
examples
of
who
the
complaints
were
against.
One
of
the
people
were
successful
in
their
primary
campaign,
while
the
other
one
wasn't,
because
the
other
one
wasn't
what
the
investigation
ceased,
because
that
person
is
not
going
forth
in
the
general
or
would
you
continue
with
the
investigation
to
get
some
clarity.
G
Excellent
questions
man
to
answer
them
directly.
Yes,
it
is
the
total
is
the
concern.
So
even
if
it
were
a
monthly
fee
again,
any
funding
at
all
or
financing
above
the
100
threshold
will
absolutely
be
identified
as
a
violation
of
the
provisions
of
this
this
bill
and
then
yes,
the
investigation
will
continue
regardless
if
there
was
an
investigation
or
a
violation
of
any
provision
across
title
24.
B
G
Another
excellent
question:
man
more
collagen
to
the
record,
so
the
next
steps
that
we
intend
to
take
we're
going
to
again
now
that
the
primary
is
over
and
recognizing,
as
mentioned,
that
there
are
competing
priorities
for
the
staff
we're
going
to
reach
out
to
and
try
to
identify
further
who
possibly
that
could
have
come
from
there's
a
fairly
limited.
I'm
sorry
there's
not
a
limited
pool
of
individuals
that
could
have,
but
we
have
some
ideas
where
to
start
so
we'll
begin
there
and
then
continue
to
expand
our
investigation
beyond
that.
A
I
I
have
a
question,
and
first
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
you
know
I
hope
you
know
it's
very
sensitive
for
somebody's
campaign
to
be
brought
in
as
a
specific
example
when
it
may
not
be
a
reflection
of
that
campaign
or
these
candidates.
A
But
what
can
we
do
because
the
real
question
is
moving
forward,
because
this
this
is
new
law
in
order
for
all
candidates
to
ensure
and
and
their
campaigns.
Because
again,
in
this
case,
you've
already
mentioned-
you
don't
know
who
it
came
from.
The
numbers
aren't
even
working,
so
it
could
have
been
third
party
or
you
know
who
knows
where
it
came
from.
But
what
can
the
campaigns
and
the
candidates
do
to
ensure
compliance?
Is
it
as
basic
as
just
ensuring
that
the
entity
or
person
who
is
sending
the
tasks
I
are
identified?
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
sharon
miller
mark
velasquez
the
record.
Essentially
it's
a
two-fold
concern
one.
Certainly
somebody
is
going
to
be
funding
these
sorts
of
messages
simply
again
bringing
awareness
to
it
that
if
it
does
cost
more
than
a
hundred
dollars
that
it
does
need
to
indicate
somewhere
on
the
message
who
is
originating
and
paying
for
it,
but
in
regards
to
to
future
election
cycles
and
concerns
from
candidates
about
text
messages
that
may
be
targeted
at
them
again.
G
Really,
you
know
reaching
out
to
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state
notifying
us
as
soon
as
possible
when
these
sorts
of
messages
do
come
up
so
that
we
can
look
into
them.
Certainly,
the
sooner
we
get
notified
about
it.
The
sooner
we
can
begin
the
investigation
if
we
can
get
even
just
a
bit
of
information
about
where
it
came
from
or
who
that
could
possibly
have
funded
this
message
that
will
enable
us
to
identify
if
it
isn't
truly
a
violation
of
the
statutes
and
then
where
to
go
from
there.
A
G
Or
even
okay
in
the
message
itself,
something
along
the
lines
of
identifying
who
it's
from
in
the
first
place:
yeah,
yes,
ma'am,
I've,
I've
seen
some
that
say,
you
know
simply
stated
hi.
This
is
mark.
I
wanted
to
let
you
know,
I'm
running
for
the
office
of
fill
in
the
blank
that
by
itself
also
indicates
where
the
message
is
coming
from,
but
yes,
ma'am
paid
for
by
again
the
bottom
extremely
easy
to
do.
G
A
F
Thank
you
chair,
thank
you,
mr
blush,
and
a
question.
I
guess
pertains
to
the
100.
You
know
minimum.
F
You
know
where
this
would
actually
apply,
and
it
just
occurs
to
me
that,
with
the
nature,
sometimes
of
how
text
messages
might
be
sent
that
an
entity
or
a
campaign
sending
out
a
text,
message
might
seek
to
get
around
that
that
provision
or
remain
below
that
threshold
by
essentially
taking
a
particular
message
and
breaking
it
into
multiple
texts,
either
in
the
same
day
or
over
multiple
days,
or
something
like
that
in
a
way
of
trying
to
get
around
around
this,
and
I'm
curious
as
to
if
it's
discovered
say
that
that
in
this
case,
something
like
that
we're
done
or
in
a
future
case,
how
would
your
office
treat
that
from
an
enforcement
perspective,
because
you
know
arguably
every
single
text
message
that
goes
out
on
its
own
is
a
arguably
an
individual
communication.
F
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
of
matthew's
mark
velocity
for
the
record.
It's
it's
an
interesting
question
and
I
think
it
goes
back
to
the
exactly
like.
You
said
that
the
nature
of
the
messages
and
I
suspect,
as
each
situation,
will
be
unique
what
we
would
do
in
that
sort
of
situation
where
maybe
somebody
spent,
if
I
understand,
right,
ninety
dollars
to
send
one
message,
but
then
a
different
message
sent
to
a
different
group
of
people
for
also
ninety
dollars.
G
G
F
D
If
you're
able
to
find
these
violators-
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
a
challenge,
what's
the
consequence,
is
it
just
stop
doing
that.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
of
something
woman,
dickman
mark
colashawn,
to
the
record.
Again,
it
really
kind
of
varies
on
the
situation
and
the
the
nature
of
the
message.
So
again,
I
I
I
wouldn't
want
to
paint
myself
into
a
corner
so
to
speak
by
by
saying.
Well,
it's
going
to
be
a
firm
and
hard
minimum.
First
and
foremost,
we
push
to
seek
compliance
with
the
laws.
G
So
when
individuals-
and
this
is
something
that
we
have
done
in
the
past-
with
individuals
who
have
posted
signs
out
in
the
streets
and
did
not
put
paid
for
by
the
very
first
step-
is
notifying
them
of
what
the
statute
says
and
what
the
requirements
are.
You
know
once
we
identify
that.
Yes,
in
fact,
it
does
meet
the
threshold
of
a
hundred
dollars
for
the
most
part.
G
Again,
when
individuals-
or
you
know,
I
are
notified
and
have
the
law
explained
to
them
and
are
gently
reminded
about
the
requirements
they
usually
eagerly
comply
and
in
many
cases
I
know
individuals
have
gone
around
with
stickers
to
put
paid
for
by
on
their
signs
just
to
get
quickly
in
compliance.
G
A
Okay,
not
saying
seeing
any
additional
questions.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
this
agenda
item.
I
will
open
our
final
agenda
item,
which
is
the
overview
of
existing
nevada
law
and
policies
pertaining
to
the
acceptance
of
tribal
identification
cards
for
purposes
of
registering
to
vote.
This
came
out
of
last
meeting.
There
was
some
some
concerns
brought
up
from
nevadans
from
our
tribal
communities
about
these
the
tribal
identification
cards
not
being
accepted
at
certain
sites
in
order
to
register
to
vote
and
so
quickly.
A
Obviously,
this
was
a
major
concern
for
us
and
needing
to
look
at.
Do
we
need
to
to,
you
know,
submit
a
bdr
for
this,
and
then
we
find-
and
I
do
not
mean
to
kill
miss
prole's
presentation,
but
miss
pearl
is
going
to
give
us
a
presentation
about
the
existing
law
that
we
already
have
surrounding
on
the
acceptance
of
tribal
identification,
so
miss
pearl,
our
senior
policy
analyst
and
gis
specialist,
with
the
research
division
of
the
legislative
council
bureau,
will
is
here
in
las
vegas
and
will
be
presenting
on
this
for
us.
D
E
D
The
goal
of
this
presentation
is
to
provide
additional
clarification,
as
was
mentioned
on
voter
registration
and
tribal
ids
in
response
to
some
questions
brought
up
at
the
meeting
on
april
29th
and
also
just
to
provide
some
background
information.
As
the
committee
is
considering
potential
bill
draft
requests
for
the
2023
legislative
session.
D
There
is
a
handout
for
this
agenda
item
in
your
meeting
packet
that
I
will
be
referring
to
so
during
the
meeting
on
april
29th.
This
committee
heard
testimony
regarding
issues
in
some
counties
with
poll
workers
accepting
tribal
ids
as
a
valid
form
of
identification
during
same-day
voter
registration,
and
this
was
during
the
2020
election,
and
I
would
just
like
to
clarify
for
the
committee
that
it
is
already
a
requirement
in
nevada
for
counties
to
accept
tribal
ids
during
in-person
voter
registration.
D
The
handout
contains
the
relevant
sections
of
the
nevada,
revised
statutes
and
the
nevada
administrative
code
that
pertain
to
this
issue.
So
nrs
237.200
allows
local
governments
to
accept
a
tribal
identification
card
for
any
activity
or
transaction
in
which
an
identification
card
issued
by
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
such
as
a
driver's
license,
is
accepted.
D
D
This
regulation
has
been
in
place
since
2006
with
the
adoption
of
r
72-06.
It
states
that
a
tribal
identification
card
may
be
used
to
establish
the
identity
of
a
person.
Submitting
an
application
to
register
to
vote
also
included
a
memorandum
from
february
2022
that
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state
sent
to
county
clerks
and
registrars
for
the
2022
election
cycle.
D
D
A
I
I
have
a
question
and
I
I
really
appreciate
this-
the
memo
that
was
sent
out
from
the
secretary
of
state.
A
So
then
my
question
because
it
becomes
so
the
question
the
memo
was
sent
to
the
counties,
and
I
know
that
in
this
committee
we've
discussed
before
about
the
training
that
that
individuals
working
the
voting
sites
get
so
and-
and
we
often
know
that
this
happens,
leadership
may
get
the
information,
but
is
it
you
know
disseminated
down
to
those
actually
doing
the
work?
So
do
we
know
if
this
is
included
in
the
training
that
those
individuals
working
the
actual
voting
sites
receive.
D
It's
my
understanding
that,
when
memorandums
like
this
are
sent
out
to
county
clerks
and
registrars
that
they
then
disseminate
this
to
their
poll
workers,
their
staff,
I
don't
have
confirmation
that
it
was,
but
I'm
sure
I
can
follow
up
with
the
secretary
of
state
or
the
county
clerk's
registrar's
and
get
and
get
that
confirmation.
A
Also
because
we
know
that
in
the
last
meeting
we
heard
some
very
specific
cases
from
more
than
one
individual
about
this
being
violated,
and
so
is
there
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
you'd
have
the
answer
for
this.
But
what
should
individuals
do
when
this
occurs,
because
that's
the
challenge,
they're
they're
they're,
trying
to
register
to
vote
they've
got
that
id
that
they've
been
told
is
accepted
and
then
someone
there
is
saying.
No,
we
don't
accept
this.
So
is
that
something
that
just
falls
onto
all
of
the
different?
A
The
terms
slipping
me
right
now,
but
I
know
there's
always
a
lot
of
people
and
there's
numbers
there
at
the
polls
to
be
able
to
use,
but
it
also
sounded
like
in
some
of
those
instances
it
wasn't
just
with
the
same
day
registration.
It
was
just
with
registration
in
general,
so.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
haley,
pearl
for
the
record.
Yes,
so
all
the
polling
locations
usually
hand
out
materials
with
phone
numbers
to
call
in
cases
where
things
are
going
wrong.
I
do
believe
members
of
the
public
could
use
those
phone
numbers
to
contact
their
county
clerk
or
registrar,
to
try
to
resolve
the
issue,
and
these
complaints
clearly
did
get
back
to
being
the
third
tribal
leaders
and
nevada
indian
commission,
and
so
they
were
also
reaching
out
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office
to
try
to
resolve
this
issue
as
well.
A
A
A
A
Okay,
so
we
will
start
there
in
carson
city
and
give
anyone
interested
in
that's
attempting
to
dial
a
few
moments
to
get
onto
the
line.
So
please,
when
you
are
ready,
I
can't
see
who
it
is
yet,
but
please
there
in
carson
city.
Please
begin
your
two
minutes
of
public
comment.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
miller
and
and
committee
members.
This
is
john
quant
once
again
with
conventional
states.
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
on
the
communications
that
the
committee
and
all
legislative
members
actually
and
candidates
now
that
the
primaries
are
over
we'll
begin
getting
from
convention
of
state
supporters
here
in
the
state
of
nevada,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to.
I
didn't
want
to
leave
you
with
just
an
opinion.
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
example
of
the
election
integrity
issues
that
I
saw.
Each
poll
station
was
provided
a
cellular
and
wi-fi
combination
router.
C
Oh
yes,
yes,
I
was
just
saying
thank
you,
chair
miller
and
all
and
the
committee
members
staff
appreciate.
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
broadcasting.
Is
there
anyone
on
the
phone
lines.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
As
we
adjourn,
I
just
want
to
again
thank
all
the
members
and
presenters
for
today,
and
those
who
made
public
comment
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
our
next
and
final
meeting
will
be
on
august
12th.
I
should
also
stop
and
say
I'll
leave
the
phone
lines
open
for
a
moment.
If
anyone
is
interested
and
then
let
you
know
in
a
moment
when
we
will
close
that,
I
guess
I
should
officially
close
that
is
there
anyone
attempting
to
call
in
right
now.
A
Okay,
then,
let's
go
ahead
and
officially
close
that
agenda
item
for
public
comment.
A
So
again,
our
next
and
we
are
on
our
final
agenda
item,
which
is
adjournment.
Our
next
final
meeting
will
be
on
august
12th
right
now.
It's
scheduled
for
9
30,
but
that
may
change,
but
it
is
scheduled
for
august
12th.
That
will
be
our
work
session,
where
we
will
consider
potential
bill
drafts
for
the
upcoming
2023
legislative
session.
A
The
committee
is
allotted
up
to
10
bills
for
legislative
operations,
elections
and
government
purchasing,
but
may
also
request
the
drafting
of
letters
to
key
individuals
and
organizations
urging
certain
actions
or
request
the
inclusion
of
positional
statements
in
the
final
committee
report,
member
stakeholders
and
interested
parties.
The
solicitation
of
recommendations
for
bdr's
letter
of
support
or
statements
in
the
final
report
will
be
sent
in
the
following
days.
A
A
The
primary
location
for
the
august
12
meeting
will
be
here
in
las
vegas
at
grant
sawyer
as
well
as
in
carson
city.
I
encourage
members
to
attend
physically
in
the
primary
location,
because
it's
also
often
easier
and
more
efficient
for
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done.
On
the
day
of
a
work
session,
seeing
no
further
business
ahead
of
us,
I
will
go
ahead
and
adjourn
this
meeting.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
