Christian Tower of the Fiscal Analysis Division summarized the bill and two proposed amendments. The sponsor's amendment removed several sections and changed the recovery fee from a mandatory 2% to a cap of up to 2%, retained reporting requirements and removed remittance language for excess collections in several subsections. A second technical amendment clarified that the term \"rental charge\" does not include separately stated charges provided to recover property taxes.

After staff explanation, Senator Stone moved to amend and do pass the bill; Senator Cruz Crawford seconded the motion. The committee voted by voice and the chair announced the motion carried. The work session record identifies the motion as \"amend and do pass\" and assigns the floor statement to Senator Cannizzaro.

The committee's adopted amendments narrowed remittance provisions and limited the bill language so the recovery fee is optional and not necessarily equal to 2% but capped at 2%, and preserved reporting requirements.

Provenance: The committee took the work session on SB 196 later in the agenda, considered sponsor and fiscal staff amendments, and approved an amend‑and‑do‑pass motion by voice vote.

Nicole Cannizzaro on Wednesday presented Senate Bill 451 to continue a voter‑approved property tax rate that funds additional Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers.

Cannizzaro told the Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development that SB 451 would direct Clark County and the City of Las Vegas to impose an ordinance extending a 20¢ per $100 of assessed value levy, continuing a funding stream originally approved by voters in 1996. \"With this bill, we don't need to raise any rates or any new revenue from property owners. We just need to keep this existing funding stream in place so that we can keep these 800 officers on the streets,\" Cannizzaro said.

Cannizzaro reviewed the levy history: voters approved an 8¢ levy in 1988 and added 20¢ in 1996 with an expiration date of June 30, 2027. She said the 20¢ levy produces roughly $158,400,000 annually and supports about 825 sworn positions — roughly one‑quarter of LVMPD's workforce and about half of the agency's patrol force.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill, who leads the LVMPD, told the committee the department has about 3,400 sworn officers (roughly 6,300 total personnel) and credited sustained funding for recent reductions in violent crime. McMahill said a cut in the levy would force the department to shift detectives into patrol or eliminate specialized units that have driven improvements in homicide and shooting solve rates. \"If we don't get this passed, 800 police officers that it funds are not gonna be able to be out on the streets,\" McMahill said.

Officials who testified in support included Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson, Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley, the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, the Nevada Resort Association and other business and public‑safety stakeholders. The Las Vegas mayor emphasized the levy preserves policing for neighborhoods, the tourism district and a growing medical and arts district.

Cannizzaro walked the committee through bill provisions, including that the rate would not be subject to certain statutory rate‑limit calculations (she cited NRS 354.59811) and that the apportionment of the rate would remain unchanged within the taxing district. Witnesses said the extension would not increase any property owner's tax rate; if the levy is not extended, funds would be collected but allocated differently, they said.

Public testimony included business groups and unions supporting the bill. One caller raised a fiscal and planning objection, arguing Nevada's low‑tax reputation and urban‑design choices should be considered; the speaker was advised to submit written comments.

No roll‑call vote was taken on SB 451 at the hearing.

Dina Neal on Wednesday presented Senate Bill 393, a cleanup measure to the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act first enacted in 2023, at a hearing of the Nevada Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development.

Neal told the committee SB 393 would clarify provisions of SB 450 (2023) related to which vacant lots are eligible for land swaps, how property taxes for relocated residents will be protected, and the scope and funding deadlines for rehabilitation grants and relocation. \"We passed the Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act in 2023. SB 393 is the cleanup to that,\" Neal said.

The bill responds to a long-running dispute in North Las Vegas in a neighborhood known as Windsor Park, where residents and presenters described decades of disinvestment, subsidence and demolition that began after homes were built in the 1960s. Neil played a short documentary produced with UNLV and the Boyd School of Law to reorient the committee to the neighborhood's history.

Neal said SB 393 narrows eligibility for lot swaps so only lots owned by former residents who demolished their own homes would be eligible for exchange; lots acquired and owned by the City of North Las Vegas after demolition would be held for a commemorative park. Neal also said the bill clarifies that relocated residents should keep the property tax rate they were paying through a senior tax rebate mechanism already in law but not currently funded. \"I don't want to put an 80 year old woman in a position where they cannot afford the property tax,\" Neal said.

Residents of Windsor Park and environmental-justice advocates testified in support. Jackie Spicer, coalition coordinator for the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition, said the community has waited more than 25 years for remediation and urged passage. Resident Nancy Johnson and Tammy Carter Jensen described multi‑decade hardship and urged lawmakers to pass the cleanup to help families recover and protect generational wealth.

Neal said the bill also revises rehab grant language for 45 previously relocated homes (sometimes referred to as \"baby Windsor\") after she and staff reviewed records and found construction and maintenance problems. The bill extends certain deadlines to 2027 to allow additional time to close on roughly 18 acres identified for relocation; Neal said site plans estimate the area could accommodate roughly 94 homes.

No formal action was taken on SB 393 during the hearing. The committee then closed the hearing and moved on to other agenda items.

SB 393 is presented as technical and clarifying changes to the 2023 law rather than a new funding request. Neal asked committee members to review a conceptual amendment she provided and asked for questions from the committee before opening the bill to public testimony.

Residents and nonprofit advocates who testified asked the committee to support the cleanup and to preserve protections for elders and long-term residents. \"We have waited for justice for more than 25 years while our houses continue to sink, crack and break at no fault of our own,\" said Jackie Spicer of the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition.

The hearing record includes the conceptual amendment Neal referenced and minutes and studies she cited, including a HUD study from an earlier period that estimated relocation costs and a local park study referenced by Neal.

Provenance: The committee opened the SB 393 hearing at the start of Senator Neal's presentation and closed the hearing later in the meeting after public testimony.

","Sen. Dina Neal presented SB 393, a cleanup to the 2023 Windsor Park Environmental Justice Act (SB 450), clarifying lot‑swap eligibility, property tax protections for relocated seniors, and rehab grant language.
