Assembly Judiciary committee advances four attorney-general and sponsor bills by unanimous voice votes
Summary
During the same session the committee approved motions to amend and do pass on four bills (AB34, AB35, AB45, AB193) largely on committee sponsorship or with agreed amendments; each motion passed by voice vote and floor statements were assigned.
The Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee voted by voice to amend and do pass four bills during its session.
- Assembly Bill 34 (committee-sponsored on behalf of the Attorney General): Committee staff described AB34 as expanding the list of offenses classified as violent and related changes. A committee amendment submitted by the attorney general was accepted. Vice Chair Marzola moved to amend and do pass; Assemblymember LaRue Hatch seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The committee assigned the floor statement to Assemblymember LaRue Hatch.
- Assembly Bill 35 (committee-sponsored on behalf of the Attorney General): Committee staff described AB35 as revising provisions relating to offenses involving minors; the attorney general’s amendment deleted Sections 1–5 and made conforming changes. Vice Chair Marzola moved to amend and do pass; Assemblymember Gonzales seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The committee assigned the floor statement to Assemblymember Cole.
- Assembly Bill 45 (committee-sponsored on behalf of the Attorney General): Committee staff said AB45 renames the committee on domestic violence to reflect expanded duties. An attorney-general amendment updated victim-notification terminology. Vice Chair Marzola moved to amend and do pass; Assemblymember Moore seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The committee assigned the floor statement to Assemblymember Dahlia.
- Assembly Bill 193 (sponsored by Assemblymember Koenig): The bill would require law enforcement to provide victims of domestic violence free, complete and unaltered copies of agency reports upon written request; the committee amendment added Gonzales, Hardy and Moore as cosponsors. Vice Chair Marzola moved to amend and do pass; Assemblymember Gonzales seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The committee assigned the floor statement to Assemblymember Koenig.
These four motions were taken early in the meeting with minimal debate; committee members reserved more detailed questioning and public testimony for later, longer hearings such as AB199 and AB480.
Ending: Each bill was forwarded with committee amendments and a floor statement assigned; the committee did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript (outcome recorded as motion carried by voice vote).
