Kyle Dalpe, Interim Executive Director, Legislative Affairs, Nevada System of Higher Education Chris Daly, Deputy Executive Director, Government Relations, Nevada State Education Association Ray Bacon, representing Nevada Manufacturers Association David Boire, representing Children's Advocacy Alliance Lincia Sinclair, Private Citizen, Reno, Nevada Vice Chairman Flores: [Roll was called. Committee protocol and rules were explained.] We will take the agenda out of order. We have a work session specifically for these bills where the intent of Chairman Thompson was for these bills to be work-sessioned, and I will honor his wishes. The first bill on work session is Senate Bill 100 (1st Reprint). Senate Bill 100 (1st Reprint): Revises provisions relating to the licensure and employment of veterans, military personnel and their spouses in the public schools of this State. (BDR 34-388) Kelly Richard, Committee Policy Analyst: Senate Bill 100 (1st Reprint) was first heard in Committee on April 25, 2019, and was presented by Senator Joyce Woodhouse (Exhibit C). The bill requires the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to adopt regulations to expedite a Nevada teaching license application for the spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States. The bill requires school districts to consider certain experience listed on a veteran's Joint Services Transcript, or a similar document, as credit towards training, experience, or licensure requirements for certain positions within the district. Finally, the bill allows a member or a veteran of the Armed Forces, or the spouse of such a member or veteran, who obtained a license through an equivalent alternative route to Assembly Committee on Education May 9, 2019 Page 4 licensure (ARL) program in another state to obtain a Nevada license as if they had completed the ARL program in Nevada. Vice Chairman Flores: I will entertain a motion to do pass Senate Bill 100 (1st Reprint). ASSEMBLYWOMAN MILLER MADE A MOTION TO DO PASS SENATE BILL 100 (1ST REPRINT). ASSEMBLYWOMAN PETERS SECONDED THE MOTION. Is there any discussion? [There was none.] THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Assemblywoman Peters will take the floor statement for S.B. 100 (R1). [A letter of support for Senate Bill 100 (1st Reprint) was submitted (Exhibit D).] The next bill on work session is Senate Bill 126. Senate Bill 126: Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-906) Kelly Richard, Committee Policy Analyst: Senate Bill 126 was sponsored by Senator Moises Denis, and presented to Committee on April 18, 2019 (Exhibit E). The bill repeals provisions requiring certain postprobationary administrators of a school district to apply every five years for reappointment to his or her position. The measure also removes provisions enabling an administrator not reappointed, who was previously employed by the district, to be assigned to his or her former position. Vice Chairman Flores: I will entertain a motion to do pass Senate Bill 126. ASSEMBLYWOMAN TORRES MADE A MOTION TO DO PASS SENATE BILL 126. ASSEMBLYWOMAN TOLLES SECONDED THE MOTION. Vice Chairman Flores: Is there any discussion? Assemblywoman Miller: I am comfortable voting Senate Bill 126 out of Committee, but I am still not comfortable with the bill itself. I do not feel there is sufficient definition of what "administrators" is, because there is a definition as the bill reads, and then in the hearing it was defined as something else. I also know that this is a practice that has not happened yet, so, like everything else in education, we at least encourage trying it before removing it. Assembly Committee on Education May 9, 2019 Page 5 Also, the importance of leadership in a school—we often talk about the teacher's role in a school and the teacher's role in the classroom and the impact on the student. Yet we also know that the administration really sets the tone for everyone in that school when it comes to staff and students and the overall culture of that school and just how important it is to make sure we have the best and most effective administration setting the culture in that school. I will let you know if I change my vote on the floor, but that is where I stand on this bill. Vice Chairman Flores: It may be prudent if we could have our committee counsel offer some insight as to the question brought forth by Assemblywoman Miller regarding exactly who is being captured by this definition. Also, I do not see our stakeholders. Do we have stakeholders for this bill? Stephen Augspurger, Executive Director, Clark County Association of School Administrators and Professional-Technical Employees: The question you would like for me to address is, to whom does the bill apply? Vice Chairman Flores: Yes, please. Stephen Augspurger: The way the bill is constructed, it outlines who it does not apply to—it does not apply to principals and it does not apply to any administrator who has been excluded from bargaining. There are various titles across the state for administrators, but in the Clark County School District (CCSD), which is the district

  • Where Do We Go from Here?
    TAX TOPICS An electronic publication of the Nevada Taxpayers Association ♦ Serving the citizens of Nevada since 1922. ISSUE 20-3 December 19, 2020 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? There is no question that when the new decade rolled around this past January no one envisioned 2020 as it currently exists. Fortunately 2021 is around the corner, and brings hope with it that the end of COVID-19 is near and some sense of normalcy will return. Unfortunately, at least for the beginning of 2021, Nevadans and the rest of the nation’s citizens will be dealing with a number of unknowns. At a state level some of these unknowns include the following (not necessarily in any particular order). Will we still be subject to emergency orders by the Governor? Will the Legislature be open for in-person interaction or will it operate virtually as it did for the two special sessions this summer? What will be the reaction to all the initiatives? Will both legislative political parties in Nevada be able to agree on revenue raising issues which might come before them? Will Congress pass a stimulus package that includes state and local governments so that budget cuts can be fully or partially restored? Will enough people take advantage of the approved COVID vaccines to provide “herd immunity” so the economy can begin to return to normal? ECONOMIC FORUM FORECAST The Nevada Economic Forum has completed their initial revenue forecast for the 2021-2023 biennium. The projections established by the Forum indicate available revenue for the upcoming budget cycle to be roughly $8.5 billion over two years.
