Assembly Growth and Infrastructure Committee adopts policies, schedules regular Transportation Day meetings
Summary
The Assembly Committee on Growth and Infrastructure formally adopted its committee policies, approved a meeting cadence and received staff introductions and a committee brief before a slate of Transportation Day agency presentations.
The Assembly Committee on Growth and Infrastructure convened in Carson City for Transportation Day and adopted its committee policies by motion on Feb. 4.
Chair Howard Watts opened the meeting, confirmed a quorum and outlined the agenda for Transportation Day, including hearings from NDOT, the RTCs for Southern Nevada and Washoe County, the Carson Area MPO/RTC and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. Committee staff were introduced; Chair Watts requested members provide exhibits electronically and emphasized punctuality for meetings scheduled at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Motion to adopt committee policies
Vice Chair Max Carter moved to adopt the committee policies and the motion was seconded by "Assembly Member Yurek" on the record. Committee members indicated assent by voice vote; the chair announced the motion carried. (The record shows one vocalized "Aye" during the roll call on the motion and the chair declared the motion adopted.)
Committee brief and process notes
Keely Latham, senior policy analyst with the Research Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, presented a short overview of the committee brief and the resources posted on the legislature’s online portal (NELIS). Latham noted the committee’s jurisdiction over transportation and energy matters, the historical volume of measures handled by the committee and the Research Division’s nonpartisan support role for members.
Schedule and next steps
The chair said the committee will use a mostly paperless process and requested members submit materials early. He indicated the committee will continue Transportation Day presentations and begin bill hearings in subsequent meetings; the committee’s next meeting was set for Thursday, Feb. 6 at 1:30 p.m.
Ending
Staff roster and contact information were posted and members were encouraged to reach out to committee staff for assistance with exhibits and amendments; the chair adjourned the meeting at the close of public comment.
