Senate advances a large batch of assembly bills and shifts several items on the day's calendar
Summary
On May 30 the Nevada Senate approved a motion to place bills on the final general-file agenda for the legislative day, withdrew Assembly Bill 388 from committee for second‑reading placement, and ordered multiple assembly bills to the general file during floor proceedings.
The Nevada Senate on May 30 approved procedural motions to advance multiple assembly bills and to rearrange the day's calendar, including withdrawing one bill from committee and placing it on the second‑reading file.
Senator Cannizzaro moved to place all bills that were on the day's general file onto the general file for the last agenda of the legislative day; the motion carried on a voice vote. Later she moved to withdraw Assembly Bill 388 from the Committee on Commerce and Labor and place it on the second‑reading file for the next agenda; that motion also carried on a voice vote.
Separately, a sequence of assembly bills was read into the record and ordered to the general file during the session. Examples recorded on the floor that were ordered to the general file include AB234 (Medicaid coverage for certain cancer screenings), AB243 (partial tax exemptions for certain Nevada Gold Star spouses), AB326 (designation of trauma centers), AB328 (commissions and subcommittees for cultural affairs relating to African Americans), AB463 (prior authorization provisions), and AB471 (remote sales of certain tobacco products). Each of those bills was introduced by the clerk, queried for amendments, and entered as "ordered to the general file" when no amendments were offered in the floor exchange.
The transcript records that these actions were procedural floor steps; the record does not show extended debate on the content of those bills during the moments they were ordered to the general file. The Assembly was notified where applicable per standard Senate practice.
