Assembly committee introduces BDRs on voter registration and election workers
Summary
The Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections voted to introduce two committee bill draft requests: BDR 24,360 on voter registration and BDR 204362 on election workers. Both measures were introduced by voice vote and will proceed into the legislative drafting/hearing process.
The Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections voted to introduce two committee bill draft requests during its meeting in Carson City. The committee introduced BDR 24,360, described by the chair as a measure that "revises provisions relating to voter registration," and BDR 204362, described as one that "revises provisions relating to election workers." Both introductions carried on voice votes after motions and seconds were recorded.
The introductions do not constitute final approval of policy; as the chair reminded members, a vote to introduce a BDR simply allows the draft request to become a bill and enter the legislative hearing process. Vice Chair Gonzales moved to introduce BDR 24,360; the motion was seconded by Assemblymember Hategui and carried on a voice vote. The committee then moved to introduce BDR 204362; Vice Chair Gonzales moved and Assemblymember Monroe Moreno seconded the motion, which also carried on a voice vote. No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript. The committee did not take further substantive action on either measure at the meeting.
Both BDRs are now eligible for bill drafting and will follow the Legislature's standard bill-referral and hearing procedures. The committee noted that introduction does not imply a commitment to support final passage. Public comment on these draft requests was not recorded in the meeting transcript.
