Assembly Judiciary Committee advances multiple Senate bills in unanimous work session
Summary
The Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee unanimously moved several Senate bills out of committee during a morning work session, assigning floor statements and noting no committee amendments.
Carson City — The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted unanimously in a work session to advance a series of Senate bills to the floor, assigning floor statements and recording no committee amendments for each measure.
The committee’s policy analyst, Cesar Mungro, introduced the work session measures and noted LCB staff were neutral. The bills advanced with brief presentation and no substantive committee amendments. Committee leadership asked for motions on each bill and the votes were recorded as unanimous “do pass” motions.
The bills advanced in the work session included: Senate Bill 4 (provisions relating to consent to adoption), Senate Bill 13 (revises provisions related to disposition of bail), Senate Bill 203 (revises provisions relating to pari-mutuel wagering), Senate Bill 241 (revised provisions relating to juvenile probation), Senate Bill 406 (revises provisions relating to civil liability), and Senate Bill 409 (provisions relating to reporting and investigation of child abuse or neglect). Several of the measures were sponsored by Senate committees on behalf of state agencies (for example SB 4 on behalf of the Division of Child and Family Services, Department of Health and Human Services; SB 13 on behalf of the Nevada Supreme Court).
Committee procedural notes: Vice Chair Marzola offered the motions to do pass on multiple bills and motions were seconded by members including Assembly Member Hanson and Assembly Member Dahlia on different measures. Where questions were asked, they were limited and did not result in amendments. SB 406 received a clarifying question on scope of retroactive immunity from Assembly Member Hanson and was confirmed by committee legal staff as narrowly limited to the first semester in the NSHE system in 2020.
Each advanced bill was assigned a floor statement to an Assembly member for presentation on the floor.
The committee moved from the short work session to formal bill hearings after concluding the votes.
