Chair Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop called the special-session meeting to order, conducted roll call, reviewed housekeeping (public comment, sign-in, online access to exhibits) and opened the hearing on Senate Bill 4, describing it as legislation revising state financial administration and listing that one bill (SB4) was on the agenda.
The Nevada Senate Committee on Jobs and Economy opened a special-session hearing on Senate Bill 4, a multi-section spending and policy bill that would fund disaster relief, correctional telemedicine kiosks, jail-based competency restoration, education initiatives, the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory and a Life Sciences building at UNR, SNAP administration, public-option broker compensation, and other appropriations. Presenters from the Governor's Finance Office, Department of Corrections, Department of Health and Human Services, University of Nevada Reno and others described funding requests, timelines and implementation details; several senators pressed for metrics, county cost breakdowns and procurement details. The committee recessed after taking public comment and did not vote on any item during the hearing.
