Summary

The Assembly Ways and Means Committee on May 28 moved a consent work session bundling a set of one‑shot appropriations and administrative budget bills (including SB469, SB470, SB474, SB476, SB478, SB479, SB484, SB485, SB488, SB489, SB490, SCR6, SB486, SB491, SB492, SB493) as due pass; members approved without recorded roll‑call tallies.

At its May 28 work session the Assembly Ways and Means Committee placed a number of measures into a consent package and moved them as due pass. Fiscal staff identified a set of primarily one‑shot appropriations, administrative budget adjustments and department reorganization or housekeeping bills that had been heard during the current and previous days and recommended a consent vote to expedite floor processing.

Bills listed by fiscal staff as part of the consent group included (but were not limited to): SB469, SB470, SB474, SB476, SB478, SB479, SB484, SB485, SB488, SB489, SB490, SCR6, SB486 (Nevada Promise and silicosis appropriation), SB491 (DPS training equipment/maintenance appropriations), SB492 (Department of Agriculture IT and equipment), SB493 (NDOT P25 radio replacement), and SB493‑adjacent appropriations. Committee members noted these were mostly one‑shot appropriations or technical budget items.

Assemblymember Bacchus moved to adopt the consent package; Assemblymember Hategui seconded. Several members reserved floor rights to review individual documents before floor votes. The committee carried the motion by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the committee minutes.

Why it matters: Consolidating many low‑controversy, one‑shot and technical budget items into a consent package shortens committee processing time and moves those appropriations to the floor for final consideration. Members reserved the right to address items individually on the floor if they wished.
