During the March 16 work session, the Assembly Committee on Education moved four measures out of committee by recorded motions.
- AB39 (revisions relating to the State Public Charter School Authority) — Motion to do pass from Assemblymember Mosca, second from Assemblymember Hanson. The committee voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. The committee assigned the floor statement to Assemblymember Hunt.
- AB48 (revisions related to bullying policy and district reassignment) — Motion to amend and do pass, moved by Assemblymember Dahlia and seconded by Assemblymember Hunt. The bill as amended authorizes district trustees to reassign students upon request of a parent or guardian when a student is identified as a victim or perpetrator of bullying, and requires immediate screening and assessment of reports consistent with NDE procedures. Committee debate included an expression of concern that reassignment could place the burden on victims; the motion passed unanimously. Assemblymember Flanagan was assigned the floor statement.
- AB236 (revising selection of certain education board members) — Motion to do pass by Vice Chair Da Silva, seconded by Assemblymember Dalia. Assemblymember Leroux Hatch recorded a nay on final passage; other committee members voted aye and the motion passed. The committee assigned the floor statement to Vice Chair Da Silva.
- AB365 (repeal of University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine requirement to establish a medical cannabis program) — Motion to do pass moved by Assemblymember Mosca and seconded by Assemblymember Flanagan. The motion carried unanimously and the floor statement was assigned to Assemblymember Orlikar.
Each motion was recorded on the committee audio and reflected in the hearing minutes. Committee staff presented bill summaries and no amendments were listed for AB39 or AB365 as part of the work session record; AB48 advanced with an amendment proposed by Clark County School District and accepted by the committee.
Summary of outcomes: four measures leave committee for further action, with AB236 recorded with one dissent and the other three carrying by unanimous voice votes.
