meeting that will happen in

36
00:01:26,244 --> 00:01:26,494
October because we wanted to see

37
00:01:27,977 --> 00:01:28,227
what the recommendations were

38
00:01:29,777 --> 00:01:30,027
coming from that cannabis study

39
00:01:31,744 --> 00:01:31,994
to see if there were any action

40
00:01:32,411 --> 00:01:32,661
items that we needed to do

41
00:01:32,977 --> 00:01:33,227
before session

42
00:01:38,011 --> 00:01:38,261
so with that we will move to

43
00:01:40,277 --> 00:01:40,527
agenda item number 2. I'd like

44
00:01:44,177 --> 00:01:44,427
to welcome the audience here any

45
00:01:44,911 --> 00:01:45,161
folks that are online

46
00:01:47,511 --> 00:01:47,761
and listening over the

47
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:48,227
internet if you're in the room

48
00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:50,361
please mute your electronic

49
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:50,961
devices

50
00:01:54,011 --> 00:01:54,261
we are going to hear several

51
00:01:57,977 --> 00:01:58,227
presentations today the first

52
00:01:59,511 --> 00:01:59,761
from Nevada Gaming Control Board

53
00:02:00,211 --> 00:02:00,461
and a representative from the

54
00:02:02,211 --> 00:02:02,461
Americanaming association on

55
00:02:05,711 --> 00:02:05,961
prediction markets operating in

56
00:02:07,744 --> 00:02:07,994
the United States, the gaming

57
00:02:09,511 --> 00:02:09,761
control board will provide a

58
00:02:10,411 --> 00:02:10,661
nevadaspecific

59
00:02:14,211 --> 00:02:14,461
focus so we can understand how

60
00:02:16,044 --> 00:02:16,294
prediction markets are impacting

61
00:02:16,744 --> 00:02:16,994
us innevada

62
00:02:19,511 --> 00:02:19,761
we then have representatives

63
00:02:20,111 --> 00:02:20,361
from Workforce connections

64
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:23,727
who are going to talk about a

65
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:24,727
very specific workforce

66
00:02:26,011 --> 00:02:26,261
correlation between workforce

67
00:02:28,211 --> 00:02:28,461
and foster youth and then we

68
00:02:30,211 --> 00:02:30,461
have our fiscal staff that is

69
00:02:31,977 --> 00:02:32,227
going to present an overview on

70
00:02:34,211 --> 00:02:34,461
Nevada's property taxes and

71
00:02:36,477 --> 00:02:36,727
provide an update on revenue

72
00:02:37,711 --> 00:02:37,961
collections

73
00:02:40,277 --> 00:02:40,527
it's super important to have

74
00:02:42,011 --> 00:02:42,261
that conversation because

75
00:02:43,844 --> 00:02:44,094
property tax has been a standing

76
00:02:44,511 --> 00:02:44,761
issue

77
00:02:47,511 --> 00:02:47,761
on whether or not we can fix the

78
00:02:50,011 --> 00:02:50,261
system or change it but we

79
00:02:51,644 --> 00:02:51,894
need to have a overall viewpoint

80
00:02:54,511 --> 00:02:54,761
and really that particular

81
00:02:55,977 --> 00:02:56,227
presentation is bringing back

82
00:02:57,977 --> 00:02:58,227
data that we had discussed I

83
00:03:00,311 --> 00:03:00,561
believe in 2020

84
00:03:00,677 --> 00:03:00,927
or

85
00:03:02,544 --> 00:03:02,794
2122

86
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:06,227
and so we were bringing it back

87
00:03:07,977 --> 00:03:08,227
pushing it back to the top so

88
00:03:09,977 --> 00:03:10,227
folks could see how we had done

89
00:03:11,677 --> 00:03:11,927
prior analysis on all different

90
00:03:15,744 --> 00:03:15,994
types of solutions and then

91
00:03:17,977 --> 00:03:18,227
bring those back forward to be

92
00:03:20,011 --> 00:03:20,261
present of mind for folks that

93
00:03:21,677 --> 00:03:21,927
are thinking about how to deal

94
00:03:22,344 --> 00:03:22,594
with the issue.

95
00:03:24,077 --> 00:03:24,327
and so with that

96
00:03:28,011 --> 00:03:28,261
we will open up for public

97
00:03:30,244 --> 00:03:30,494
comment I'll move to agenda item

98
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:32,461
number3 and I will open the

99
00:03:33,744 --> 00:03:33,994
meeting for public comment is

100
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:34,594
there anyone in Las Vegas for

101
00:03:35,011 --> 00:03:35,261
public comment?

102
00:03:51,511 --> 00:03:51,761
Good morning chairneal and

103
00:03:52,144 --> 00:03:52,394
members of the committee my name

104
00:03:55,511 --> 00:03:55,761
is Leemccallier I'm the

105
00:03:57,511 --> 00:03:57,761
executive director of the Nevada

106
00:03:58,277 --> 00:03:58,527
chapter of the American Academy

107
00:04:01,744 --> 00:04:01,994
of Pediatrics my primary goal

108
00:04:02,477 --> 00:04:02,727
today is to urge you to advance

109
00:04:05,777 --> 00:04:06,027
item B7 revising Nevada's tax on

110
00:04:07,977 --> 00:04:08,227
other tobacco products. I'd also

111
00:04:09,744 --> 00:04:09,994
urge this committee to go

112
00:04:11,544 --> 00:04:11,794
further and raise Nevada's

113
00:04:13,511 --> 00:04:13,761
cigarette tax itself. The

114
00:04:14,477 --> 00:04:14,727
academy's tobacco policy draws

115
00:04:16,011 --> 00:04:16,261
on the USsurgeon general's

116
00:04:17,677 --> 00:04:17,927
finding that price increases

117
00:04:18,244 --> 00:04:18,494
from

118
00:04:20,344 --> 00:04:20,594
excise taxes prevent youth

119
00:04:22,244 --> 00:04:22,494
initiation. Young people are 2

120
00:04:25,511 --> 00:04:25,761
to3 times more price

121
00:04:27,777 --> 00:04:28,027
sensitive than adults. cigarette

122
00:04:30,011 --> 00:04:30,261
use among teens has declined but

123
00:04:31,711 --> 00:04:31,961
e cigarettes, cigars and hookahs

124
00:04:33,511 --> 00:04:33,761
have not, which is exactly what

125
00:04:34,211 --> 00:04:34,461
your OTP proposal addresses

126
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:38,027
that same evidence applies just

127
00:04:39,777 --> 00:04:40,027
as strongly to cigarettes and

128
00:04:41,511 --> 00:04:41,761
the two rates need to rise

129
00:04:43,477 --> 00:04:43,727
together otherwise kids simply

130
00:04:44,111 --> 00:04:44,361
switch to whichever product is

131
00:04:44,777 --> 00:04:45,027
cheaper.

132
00:04:47,744 --> 00:04:47,994
that's the ask I most want you

133
00:04:50,011 --> 00:04:50,261
to act on today the written

134
00:04:52,044 --> 00:04:52,294
testimony we submitted late

135
00:04:53,744 --> 00:04:53,994
yesterday goes considerably

136
00:04:55,744 --> 00:04:55,994
further long enough that I'd

137
00:04:57,744 --> 00:04:57,994
recommend reading it on a screen

138
00:04:59,744 --> 00:04:59,994
rather than printing it. I used

139
00:05:01,511 --> 00:05:01,761
that space to make a case I

140
00:05:04,011 --> 00:05:04,261
don't often get to make in HHs

141
00:05:05,811 --> 00:05:06,061
and education committee rooms

142
00:05:07,511 --> 00:05:07,761
advocates like me usually hear

143
00:05:08,277 --> 00:05:08,527
that our ideas are right but

144
00:05:11,511 --> 00:05:11,761
Nevada can't fund them. this is

145
00:05:12,277 --> 00:05:12,527
one of the few rooms where that

146
00:05:13,844 --> 00:05:14,094
funding question is actually

147
00:05:14,411 --> 00:05:14,661
yours to answer

148
00:05:17,711 --> 00:05:17,961
Our letter tries to show why

149
00:05:19,744 --> 00:05:19,994
investing in kids now costs far

150
00:05:20,411 --> 00:05:20,661
less than the alternative later.

151
00:05:23,511 --> 00:05:23,761
thank you for your time and your

152
00:05:24,244 --> 00:05:24,494
work this interim on behalf of

153
00:05:26,277 --> 00:05:26,527
Nevada's children and the

154
00:05:26,844 --> 00:05:27,094
pediatricians who care for them.

155
00:05:32,044 --> 00:05:32,294
Good morning Alexander Marks

156
00:05:33,744 --> 00:05:33,994
with the Nevada State Education

157
00:05:35,744 --> 00:05:35,994
association revenue isn't only

158
00:05:37,511 --> 00:05:37,761
what we collect it's what we

159
00:05:38,211 --> 00:05:38,461
choose not to collect.ack in May

160
00:05:40,011 --> 00:05:40,261
NSEA raised concerns about the

161
00:05:41,744 --> 00:05:41,994
cumulative impact of Nevada's

162
00:05:42,511 --> 00:05:42,761
tax giveaways on our ability to

163
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:44,561
adequately fund our schools

164
00:05:45,777 --> 00:05:46,027
while districts are cutting

165
00:05:47,544 --> 00:05:47,794
staff services opportunities the

166
00:05:48,244 --> 00:05:48,494
state continues to give away

167
00:05:50,044 --> 00:05:50,294
revenue to large corporations.

168
00:05:51,777 --> 00:05:52,027
Nevada's given hundreds of

169
00:05:53,511 --> 00:05:53,761
millions of dollars in public

170
00:05:54,177 --> 00:05:54,427
support to professional sports

171
00:05:55,511 --> 00:05:55,761
and data centers which are

172
00:05:56,144 --> 00:05:56,394
perhaps the most egregious

173
00:05:57,777 --> 00:05:58,027
example of this misplaced

174
00:05:59,544 --> 00:05:59,794
priority we've set schools over

175
00:06:00,177 --> 00:06:00,427
stadiums schools over studios

176
00:06:00,877 --> 00:06:01,127
and

177
00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:01,694
now schools over servers

178
00:06:03,777 --> 00:06:04,027
we're not against the economic

179
00:06:04,444 --> 00:06:04,694
development but the best

180
00:06:06,044 --> 00:06:06,294
longterm economic development as

181
00:06:08,011 --> 00:06:08,261
a strategy that is a top tier

182
00:06:09,777 --> 00:06:10,027
public education system and a

183
00:06:12,044 --> 00:06:12,294
well prepared workforce for far

184
00:06:12,677 --> 00:06:12,927
too long Nevada's called

185
00:06:14,077 --> 00:06:14,327
corporate subsidies investments

186
00:06:15,777 --> 00:06:16,027
while public education is called

187
00:06:16,511 --> 00:06:16,761
spending when billion dollar

188
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:18,561
industries come asking for money

189
00:06:19,777 --> 00:06:20,027
we're told it's an investment

190
00:06:21,511 --> 00:06:21,761
when educators urge the

191
00:06:22,011 --> 00:06:22,261
legislature and governor to

192
00:06:23,777 --> 00:06:24,027
seriously pass the plan we're

193
00:06:24,577 --> 00:06:24,827
told to be realistic. We

194
00:06:25,811 --> 00:06:26,061
constantly hear about what

195
00:06:27,511 --> 00:06:27,761
Nevada can't afford but somehow

196
00:06:28,311 --> 00:06:28,561

changes from how will we pay for

201
00:06:35,777 --> 00:06:36,027
it to how much do you need just

202
00:06:36,444 --> 00:06:36,694
last week the raiders are

203
00:06:39,511 --> 00:06:39,761

million dollars in public

206
00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:42,527
for another75 million to upgrade

into their public financing

210
00:06:49,511 --> 00:06:49,761
after three failed attempts to

211
00:06:50,277 --> 00:06:50,527
expand the Hollywood handout a

212
00:06:53,477 --> 00:06:53,727
very unsuccessful special

215
00:06:57,777 --> 00:06:58,027
data centers received nearly

216
00:07:00,044 --> 00:07:00,294
$238 million in tax breaks over

217
00:07:00,677 --> 00:07:00,927
the last few years nearly a

218
00:07:01,244 --> 00:07:01,494
quarter billion dollars

219
00:07:03,811 --> 00:07:04,061
Nevada chose not to

220
00:07:06,044 --> 00:07:06,294
collect.ervers stadiums studios

221
00:07:07,777 --> 00:07:08,027
there always seems to be another

222
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:08,761
subsidy and another reason

223
00:07:09,777 --> 00:07:10,027
Nevada should give away our

224
00:07:11,511 --> 00:07:11,761
revenue but when it comes to

225
00:07:12,244 --> 00:07:12,494
adequately funding our schools

226
00:07:13,744 --> 00:07:13,994
suddenly the money's not there.

227
00:07:15,777 --> 00:07:16,027
Meanwhile Nevada remains4,000

228
00:07:16,377 --> 00:07:16,627
dollars behind the national

229
00:07:18,011 --> 00:07:18,261
average with the largest class

230
00:07:20,044 --> 00:07:20,294
sizes in the country we are most

231
00:07:22,011 --> 00:07:22,261
generous to those who need us

232
00:07:23,744 --> 00:07:23,994
the least our educators are not

233
00:07:25,544 --> 00:07:25,794
getting 20 year abatements the

234
00:07:26,311 --> 00:07:26,561
para not filling up her car, not

235
00:07:28,044 --> 00:07:28,294
the custodian buying groceries

236
00:07:29,777 --> 00:07:30,027
and not the teacher paying rent.

237
00:07:30,444 --> 00:07:30,694
The commission on school funding

238
00:07:31,111 --> 00:07:31,361
has already given us a plan to

239
00:07:31,811 --> 00:07:32,061
fully

240
00:07:33,811 --> 00:07:34,061
fund our schools so when it

241
00:07:35,544 --> 00:07:35,794
comes to revenue Nevada can't

242
00:07:36,311 --> 00:07:36,561
continue to be more generous to

243
00:07:38,011 --> 00:07:38,261
sports teams and server farms

244
00:07:39,777 --> 00:07:40,027
and the nevadans who teach our

245
00:07:41,511 --> 00:07:41,761
kids drive their buses, prepare

246
00:07:42,277 --> 00:07:42,527
their meals and keep our schools

247
00:07:43,677 --> 00:07:43,927
running seriously pass the plan

Education association the voice

250
00:07:55,511 --> 00:07:55,761
of Nevada educators for125 years

251
00:07:57,511 --> 00:07:57,761
when NSCA appeared before

252
00:07:58,277 --> 00:07:58,527
this committee back in January

253
00:08:00,044 --> 00:08:00,294
we urged you to advance the work

254
00:08:01,511 --> 00:08:01,761
of the commission on school

255
00:08:03,777 --> 00:08:04,027
funding modernizing the state's

256
00:08:04,444 --> 00:08:04,694
sales tax to include digital

257
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:06,561
products is a small but

258
00:08:08,311 --> 00:08:08,561
important part of that plan.

259
00:08:10,311 --> 00:08:10,561
Last session NScA testified in

260
00:08:12,544 --> 00:08:12,794
support of AB453 because Nevada

261
00:08:15,777 --> 00:08:16,027
sales tax has not kept pace with

262
00:08:17,711 --> 00:08:17,961
our changing economy. Nevadda's

263
00:08:18,444 --> 00:08:18,694
increasingly purchased digital

264
00:08:20,277 --> 00:08:20,527
products eroding the sales tax

265
00:08:21,777 --> 00:08:22,027
base designed around physical

266
00:08:23,777 --> 00:08:24,027
goods. Senator Neal has been

267
00:08:25,511 --> 00:08:25,761
raising this issue since at

268
00:08:27,511 --> 00:08:27,761
least 2019, the commission on

269
00:08:28,277 --> 00:08:28,527
school funding followed suit and

270
00:08:30,311 --> 00:08:30,561
recommended capturing digital

271
00:08:33,544 --> 00:08:33,794
sales in their plan.addly the

272
00:08:35,511 --> 00:08:35,761
state has failed to actstead of

273
00:08:36,311 --> 00:08:36,561
seriously addressing revenue

274
00:08:38,277 --> 00:08:38,527
last session the state passed an

275
00:08:41,511 --> 00:08:41,761
education budget with only a $2

276
00:08:43,511 --> 00:08:43,761
per pupil increase. This left

277
00:08:44,277 --> 00:08:44,527
underfunded school districts

278
00:08:46,044 --> 00:08:46,294
this year with severe budget

279
00:08:47,677 --> 00:08:47,927
deficits staffing reductions,

280
00:08:48,344 --> 00:08:48,594
service

281
00:08:51,511 --> 00:08:51,761
cuts and even school closures.

282
00:08:53,511 --> 00:08:53,761
Nevada cannot build a worldclass

283
00:08:54,244 --> 00:08:54,494
public education system with an

284
00:08:55,777 --> 00:08:56,027
anemic revenue structure that

285
00:08:57,844 --> 00:08:58,094
increasingly fails to capture

286
00:08:58,511 --> 00:08:58,761
economic activity

287
00:09:00,011 --> 00:09:00,261
the commission on school funding

288
00:09:02,011 --> 00:09:02,261
gave Nevada a roadmap among the

289
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:04,027
commission's revenue proposals

290
00:09:05,744 --> 00:09:05,994
modernizing the sales tax base

291
00:09:07,744 --> 00:09:07,994
is probably the lowest hanging

292
00:09:09,511 --> 00:09:09,761
fruit this committee can now

293
00:09:11,511 --> 00:09:11,761
take a small but important step

294
00:09:13,511 --> 00:09:13,761
forward.upport modernizing

295
00:09:14,311 --> 00:09:14,561
Nevada's tax base to generate

296
00:09:16,344 --> 00:09:16,594
sustainable revenue seriously

297
00:09:17,044 --> 00:09:17,294
pass the plan thank you.

298

Cherneel members of the

299
00:09:24,211 --> 00:09:24,461
committee thank you for the

300
00:09:25,777 --> 00:09:26,027
opportunity to provide this

301
00:09:27,511 --> 00:09:27,761
public comment today my name

302
00:09:29,511 --> 00:09:29,761
ishannon Bilbra Axelrod and I am

303
00:09:30,277 --> 00:09:30,527

cabinet.

306
00:09:34,477 --> 00:09:34,727
as nevada considers a longterm

307
00:09:36,244 --> 00:09:36,494
fiscal future we urge

308
00:09:38,211 --> 00:09:38,461
policymakers to explore and

309
00:09:40,211 --> 00:09:40,461
implement sustainable new

310
00:09:41,977 --> 00:09:42,227
revenue sources that will allow

311
00:09:43,977 --> 00:09:44,227
our state to make meaningful

312
00:09:45,711 --> 00:09:45,961
investments in children families

313
00:09:47,777 --> 00:09:48,027
and communities. Research

314
00:09:48,377 --> 00:09:48,627
consistently shows that

315
00:09:51,511 --> 00:09:51,761
investing in early childhood is

316
00:09:52,244 --> 00:09:52,494
one of the smartest economic

317
00:09:52,844 --> 00:09:53,094
investments a state can make

318
00:09:56,211 --> 00:09:56,461
Nobel rize winning economist

319
00:09:58,211 --> 00:09:58,461
James James Heckman found that

320
00:09:59,977 --> 00:10:00,227
high quality birth to five

321
00:10:02,011 --> 00:10:02,261
programs can generate an annual

322
00:10:03,744 --> 00:10:03,994
revenue on investment of

323
00:10:06,244 --> 00:10:06,494
approximately13% through

324
00:10:08,277 --> 00:10:08,527
improved education, health,

325
00:10:09,944 --> 00:10:10,194
employment and social outcomes.

326
00:10:13,777 --> 00:10:14,027
this need in nevada is

327
00:10:16,011 --> 00:10:16,261
significant.62% of Nevada's

328
00:10:17,977 --> 00:10:18,227
children underage5 live in

329
00:10:20,311 --> 00:10:20,561
households where all available

330
00:10:22,277 --> 00:10:22,527
parents are working, yet our

331
00:10:27,511 --> 00:10:27,761
state faces a66p66% gap between

332
00:10:29,744 --> 00:10:29,994
the supply of licensed childcare

333
00:10:31,744 --> 00:10:31,994
and potential demand. The

334
00:10:34,011 --> 00:10:34,261
estimate of economic loss from

335
00:10:36,277 --> 00:10:36,527
Nevada's childcare shortage is

336
00:10:39,544 --> 00:10:39,794
between4.2 billion and6.2

337
00:10:40,077 --> 00:10:40,327
billion over the next decade.

338
00:10:44,011 --> 00:10:44,261
childcare shortage is a problem

339
00:10:45,977 --> 00:10:46,227
in Nevada but we know that

340
00:10:47,977 --> 00:10:48,227
investing in early childcare

341
00:10:50,011 --> 00:10:50,261
early learning home visiting and

342
00:10:51,711 --> 00:10:51,961
family support services help

343
00:10:53,511 --> 00:10:53,761
children arrive at school ready

344
00:10:55,777 --> 00:10:56,027
to learn ready to succeed and

345
00:10:57,744 --> 00:10:57,994
enable parents to participate in

346
00:10:59,744 --> 00:10:59,994
the workforce these investments

347
00:11:01,777 --> 00:11:02,027
strengthen families today and

348
00:11:03,777 --> 00:11:04,027
buildnevada's future workforce

349
00:11:05,744 --> 00:11:05,994
at the same time we recognize

350
00:11:08,011 --> 00:11:08,261
that children don't just thrive

351
00:11:09,744 --> 00:11:09,994
basically on access to early

352
00:11:10,411 --> 00:11:10,661
childhood programs families

353
00:11:13,511 --> 00:11:13,761
also need affordable housing,

00:11:19,711 --> 00:11:19,961
supports when parents struggle

357
00:11:22,011 --> 00:11:22,261
to meet basic needs children

358
00:11:23,511 --> 00:11:23,761
experience those impacts as

359
00:11:25,777 --> 00:11:26,027
well. this is not an either or

360
00:11:27,777 --> 00:11:28,027
conversationnevada needs a

361
00:11:29,777 --> 00:11:30,027
revenue system that is adequate

362
00:11:32,044 --> 00:11:32,294
sustainable and capable of

363
00:11:33,744 --> 00:11:33,994
supporting both a comprehensive

364
00:11:35,544 --> 00:11:35,794
early childhood system and the

365
00:11:37,511 --> 00:11:37,761
broader economic security

366
00:11:39,511 --> 00:11:39,761
programs that help families

367
00:11:40,111 --> 00:11:40,361
remain stable and resilient.

368
00:11:43,511 --> 00:11:43,761
we encourage the committee to

369
00:11:45,744 --> 00:11:45,994
pursume new revenue solutions

370
00:11:47,511 --> 00:11:47,761
that reflect the scale of

371
00:11:49,511 --> 00:11:49,761
Nevada's needs and the

372
00:11:50,277 --> 00:11:50,527
opportunity that comes from

373
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:51,994
investing in our youngest

374
00:11:53,511 --> 00:11:53,761

regarding progressive revenue

387

measures. Nevada's long past due

388
00:12:14,477 --> 00:12:14,727
for a tax structure that

389
00:12:16,044 --> 00:12:16,294
prioritizes family and public

390
00:12:18,044 --> 00:12:18,294
services over corporations when

391
00:12:20,044 --> 00:12:20,294
revenues don't meet expectations

392
00:12:21,511 --> 00:12:21,761
asks me workers who have

393
00:12:22,277 --> 00:12:22,527
dedicated their lives to public

394
00:12:23,811 --> 00:12:24,061
services are the first to be

395
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:25,761
furloughed the first to be asked

396
00:12:26,244 --> 00:12:26,494
to make their dollar a stretch

397
00:12:26,911 --> 00:12:27,161
and the first to service

398
00:12:29,811 --> 00:12:30,061
our community members with less

399
00:12:31,511 --> 00:12:31,761
at Asme we are very much of the

400
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:33,794
mindset that more water makes

402
00:12:37,511 --> 00:12:37,761
members this year have been

403
00:12:39,477 --> 00:12:39,727
asked to pay more for their

404
00:12:41,544 --> 00:12:41,794
healthcare they are seeing their

405
00:12:43,544 --> 00:12:43,794
per contribution rates go up and

406
00:12:44,277 --> 00:12:44,527
they've been left with

407
00:12:45,744 --> 00:12:45,994
bargaining agreements that have

408
00:12:47,744 --> 00:12:47,994
not been funded. we know that

409
00:12:49,511 --> 00:12:49,761
when you support public services

410
00:12:50,311 --> 00:12:50,561
you're supporting asking workers

411
00:12:52,011 --> 00:12:52,261
and we're supporting A workers

412
00:12:52,644 --> 00:12:52,894
you're supporting public

413
00:12:54,044 --> 00:12:54,294
services thank you so much for

414
00:12:55,711 --> 00:12:55,961
the work of this committee and

415
00:12:56,377 --> 00:12:56,627
we look forward to working

416
00:12:56,944 --> 00:12:57,194
together.

00:13:01,711 --> 00:13:01,961
Hi my name's Andrew Cclark. I'm

418
00:13:03,711 --> 00:13:03,961
the policy manager of

419
00:13:05,777 --> 00:13:06,027
Battleborne Progress we champion

420
00:13:07,544 --> 00:13:07,794
policies that provide

421
00:13:09,511 --> 00:13:09,761
everynevadan with a fair

422
00:13:10,244 --> 00:13:10,494
opportunity to succeed. We

423
00:13:12,277 --> 00:13:12,527
believe that that success starts

424
00:13:14,011 --> 00:13:14,261
at the state budget and that's

425
00:13:15,744 --> 00:13:15,994
why we're proud to house the

426
00:13:16,444 --> 00:13:16,694
Nevada Revenue coalition. Our

427
00:13:18,244 --> 00:13:18,494
state budget represents a quilt

428
00:13:20,211 --> 00:13:20,461
of competing needs patched

429
00:13:22,211 --> 00:13:22,461

437
00:13:35,777 --> 00:13:36,027
at the heart of this

438
00:13:37,877 --> 00:13:38,127
conversation is who pays and

439
00:13:38,511 --> 00:13:38,761
what they get in return.

440
00:13:40,211 --> 00:13:40,461
According to the institute on

00:13:46,211 --> 00:13:46,461
Nevada families who pay. We are

00:13:47,977 --> 00:13:48,227
the fifth most regressive tax

445
00:13:49,511 --> 00:13:49,761
code in the entire country. Now

446
00:13:50,244 --> 00:13:50,494
we pay this cost through

education system that is too

00:13:57,744 --> 00:13:57,994
often balanced on both teachers

453
00:14:02,244 --> 00:14:02,494
tax system that shows a lack of

454
00:14:04,244 --> 00:14:04,494
appreciation for our communities

455
00:14:06,244 --> 00:14:06,494
and a definition of sales tax

456
00:14:07,911 --> 00:14:08,161
which is not kept pace with

459
00:14:13,477 --> 00:14:13,727
the tenacity this interim to

460
00:14:14,177 --> 00:14:14,427
lead on these issueshead of

461
00:14:18,011 --> 00:14:18,261
the202017 legislative session,

462
00:14:19,511 --> 00:14:19,761
Nevada faces great challenges.

463
00:14:20,211 --> 00:14:20,461
the federal government has

464
00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:22,194
rethought its role in funding

465
00:14:24,011 --> 00:14:24,261
state government with $9.5

466
00:14:25,511 --> 00:14:25,761
billion in cuts coming down the

467
00:14:27,977 --> 00:14:28,227
pike over the next decade that

468
00:14:29,944 --> 00:14:30,194
leaves you all to have very

469
00:14:30,511 --> 00:14:30,761
tough choices ahead.

470
00:14:33,777 --> 00:14:34,027
furloughs and programmatic cuts

471
00:14:36,311 --> 00:14:36,561
have proven to be a permanent

472
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:38,494
problem in a temporary solution.

473
00:14:40,244 --> 00:14:40,494
both calamity comes opportunity.

474
00:14:42,277 --> 00:14:42,527
today's agenda represents that

475
00:14:43,744 --> 00:14:43,994
opportunity to provide a tax

476
00:14:45,511 --> 00:14:45,761
code that is both uniform and

477
00:14:47,511 --> 00:14:47,761
equal in how we raise revenue

478
00:14:48,244 --> 00:14:48,494
and in turn the services that we

479
00:14:50,244 --> 00:14:50,494
providegether we can rem

480
00:14:52,277 --> 00:14:52,527
reimagine a state budget that

481
00:14:53,744 --> 00:14:53,994
works for everybody. Thank

482
00:14:54,477 --> 00:14:54,727
youchairneal and members of this

483
00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:56,027
committee for your work this

484
00:14:57,511 --> 00:14:57,761
interim for creating a fairer

485
00:14:58,277 --> 00:14:58,527
and more sustainable tax code.

486
00:14:58,944 --> 00:14:59,194
thank you.

Hello my name is Nicole Chione

488
00:15:07,744 --> 00:15:07,994
and I manage the Nevada tobacco

489
00:15:09,711 --> 00:15:09,961
Control and Smokefree coalition.

490
00:15:11,511 --> 00:15:11,761
I'm here today to encourage this

491
00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:12,461
committee to continue its work

492
00:15:13,977 --> 00:15:14,227
on increasing Nevada's tobacco

493
00:15:16,211 --> 00:15:16,461
tax. first it first and foremost

494
00:15:17,711 --> 00:15:17,961
this is a public health

495
00:15:18,444 --> 00:15:18,694
initiative raising the price of

496
00:15:20,011 --> 00:15:20,261
tobacco remains one of the most

497
00:15:21,777 --> 00:15:22,027
effective tools we have to

498
00:15:23,544 --> 00:15:23,794
prevent young people from ever

499
00:15:24,311 --> 00:15:24,561
starting and to encourage

500
00:15:26,011 --> 00:15:26,261
current users to quit. The

501
00:15:27,744 --> 00:15:27,994
proposal presented to this

502
00:15:29,477 --> 00:15:29,727
committee in July increasing the

503
00:15:30,244 --> 00:15:30,494
cigarette tax by dollar75 cents

504
00:15:31,744 --> 00:15:31,994
per pack and bringing other

505
00:15:33,744 --> 00:15:33,994
tobacco products into tax parity

506
00:15:34,411 --> 00:15:34,661
is project

507
00:15:36,444 --> 00:15:36,694
ed to prevent approximately4,000

508
00:15:38,011 --> 00:15:38,261
Nevadicates from starting to

509
00:15:39,977 --> 00:15:40,227
smoke helped more than11,000

510
00:15:41,977 --> 00:15:42,227
adults quit and prevent

511
00:15:44,211 --> 00:15:44,461
nearly3900 premature deaths but

512
00:15:45,944 --> 00:15:46,194
there is also a significant

513
00:15:47,977 --> 00:15:48,227
fiscal benefit to the state. The

514
00:15:48,677 --> 00:15:48,927
proposal is projected to

515
00:15:50,211 --> 00:15:50,461
generate approximately66 million

516
00:15:53,511 --> 00:15:53,761
dollars in new annual revenue

517
00:15:55,477 --> 00:15:55,727
about51 million from cigarettes

518
00:15:57,744 --> 00:15:57,994
and14.6 million from parity for

519
00:15:59,977 --> 00:16:00,227
other tobacco products those

520
00:16:01,511 --> 00:16:01,761
projections already account for

521
00:16:02,244 --> 00:16:02,494
declining consumption and tax

522
00:16:03,677 --> 00:16:03,927
avoidance. We know from Nevada

523
00:16:06,211 --> 00:16:06,461
' s own experience that reducing

524
00:16:07,744 --> 00:16:07,994
tobacco use and generating

525
00:16:09,511 --> 00:16:09,761
meaningful revenue are not

526
00:16:11,477 --> 00:16:11,727
mutually exclusive. after the

527
00:16:12,211 --> 00:16:12,461
state's last cigarette tax

528
00:16:15,477 --> 00:16:15,727
increase in 2015, annual tobacco

529
00:16:16,144 --> 00:16:16,394
tax revenue grew from

530
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:18,227
approximately117 million dollars

531
00:16:19,977 --> 00:16:20,227
that year to more than156

532
00:16:22,211 --> 00:16:22,461
million dollars in 2025. The

533
00:16:23,944 --> 00:16:24,194
benefits extend beyond direct

534
00:16:24,611 --> 00:16:24,861
revenue

535
00:16:26,211 --> 00:16:26,461
The modeling projects more than

536
00:16:28,444 --> 00:16:28,694
$208 million in longterm

537
00:16:29,977 --> 00:16:30,227
healthcare savings including

538
00:16:31,744 --> 00:16:31,994
savings to medicaid and

539
00:16:33,477 --> 00:16:33,727
reductions of costs associated

540
00:16:35,511 --> 00:16:35,761
with cancer, cardiovascular

541
00:16:37,477 --> 00:16:37,727
diseases and smoking affected

542
00:16:39,477 --> 00:16:39,727
pregnancies and births. Nevada

543
00:16:40,177 --> 00:16:40,427
has an opportunity to enact a

544
00:16:42,011 --> 00:16:42,261
policy that prevents disease,

545
00:16:43,944 --> 00:16:44,194
saves lives, reduces future

546
00:16:45,944 --> 00:16:46,194
healthcare costs and provides

547
00:16:48,211 --> 00:16:48,461
significant new state revenue. I

548
00:16:49,777 --> 00:16:50,027
respectfully urge this committee

549
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:51,761
to take up the tobacco tax

550
00:16:52,477 --> 00:16:52,727
proposal and continue the work

551
00:16:53,911 --> 00:16:54,161
necessary to move it forward in

552
00:16:54,577 --> 00:16:54,827
the 2027 legisl

553
00:16:56,244 --> 00:16:56,494
ative session thank you for your

554
00:16:56,944 --> 00:16:57,194
time and consideration.

555
00:17:02,277 --> 00:17:02,527
Good morning Chaneal and members

556
00:17:03,777 --> 00:17:04,027
of the committee I'm hector

557
00:17:05,511 --> 00:17:05,761
Arola policy fellow with the

558
00:17:06,144 --> 00:17:06,394
Nevada Environmental Justice

559
00:17:07,977 --> 00:17:08,227
Coalition and on behalf of our

560
00:17:10,011 --> 00:17:10,261
coalition we stand strong to

561
00:17:11,777 --> 00:17:12,027
support equitable tax reform

562
00:17:12,411 --> 00:17:12,661
that ensures funding for

563
00:17:14,311 --> 00:17:14,561
critical state services and

564
00:17:16,044 --> 00:17:16,294
ensures corporations finally pay

565
00:17:18,044 --> 00:17:18,294
their fair share in Nevada. for

566
00:17:19,511 --> 00:17:19,761
far too long working families

567
00:17:20,544 --> 00:17:20,794
have shouldered the burden while

568
00:17:22,077 --> 00:17:22,327
big businesses have not been

569
00:17:24,077 --> 00:17:24,327
held to the same standards we

570
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:25,794
believe that when industries

571
00:17:26,377 --> 00:17:26,627
contribute fairly we can invest

572
00:17:28,311 --> 00:17:28,561
directly in making life easier,

573
00:17:29,877 --> 00:17:30,127
safer and more affordable for

574
00:17:30,511 --> 00:17:30,761
all Nevadans.

575
00:17:32,277 --> 00:17:32,527
due to recent federal decisions,

576
00:17:35,511 --> 00:17:35,761
Nevada significantly receives

577
00:17:36,311 --> 00:17:36,561
less federal funds in addition

578
00:17:38,044 --> 00:17:38,294
to our lack of state income tax

579
00:17:39,777 --> 00:17:40,027
revenue that gap leaves us with

580
00:17:41,877 --> 00:17:42,127
fewer sources to provide much

581
00:17:42,477 --> 00:17:42,727
needed services

582
00:17:44,544 --> 00:17:44,794
so now more than ever it falls

583
00:17:46,077 --> 00:17:46,327
on this body to identify ways to

584
00:17:47,777 --> 00:17:48,027
fill this budget shortfall and

585
00:17:50,011 --> 00:17:50,261
to to relieve the escalating

586
00:17:52,011 --> 00:17:52,261
affordability crisis to many

587
00:17:53,777 --> 00:17:54,027
to many Nevada families that

588
00:17:55,744 --> 00:17:55,994
have endured for the last few

589
00:17:57,511 --> 00:17:57,761
years we want to be very clear

590
00:17:58,144 --> 00:17:58,394
we do not support increasing

591
00:17:59,777 --> 00:18:00,027
regressive taxes and fees that

592
00:18:02,044 --> 00:18:02,294
fall on everydaynevadans and

593
00:18:04,044 --> 00:18:04,294
increase the cost of livingstead

594
00:18:05,511 --> 00:18:05,761
we urge you to focus on

595
00:18:06,377 --> 00:18:06,627
corporate and industrial taxes

596
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:07,294
to carry a fairer load.

597
00:18:09,744 --> 00:18:09,994
Here's what that fair revenue

598
00:18:11,511 --> 00:18:11,761
can do for our state expand

611

improve tracks traffic flow

relief to renters and homeowners

618
00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:48,194
with high energy burdens that

619
00:18:49,511 --> 00:18:49,761
means lowering utility bills for

620
00:18:50,277 --> 00:18:50,527
families and making our

621
00:18:52,244 --> 00:18:52,494
communities more resilient to

622
00:18:54,277 --> 00:18:54,527
extreme weather. these practices

623
00:18:57,511 --> 00:18:57,761
are practical life changing

624
00:18:58,144 --> 00:18:58,394
investments that address the

625
00:18:59,777 --> 00:19:00,027
real needs in every corner of

647
00:19:37,511 --> 00:19:37,761
taking on this reexamination of

648
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:38,561
our revenue streams this work

649
00:19:40,011 --> 00:19:40,261
matters directly to the families

650
00:19:41,777 --> 00:19:42,027
that we serve.c according to

651
00:19:44,277 --> 00:19:44,527
ITEPs who pays study, nevada has

652
00:19:45,511 --> 00:19:45,761
the fifth most regressive tax

653
00:19:46,277 --> 00:19:46,527
code in the country working

654
00:19:47,677 --> 00:19:47,927
families including the small

655
00:19:48,344 --> 00:19:48,594
business own

656
00:19:50,244 --> 00:19:50,494
ers and service workers in our

657
00:19:51,711 --> 00:19:51,961
community have carried more of

658
00:19:52,344 --> 00:19:52,594
that burden than they should.

659
00:19:55,744 --> 00:19:55,994
without new revenue 265,000

660
00:19:57,711 --> 00:19:57,961
Nevadans stand to lose snap

661
00:19:59,977 --> 00:20:00,227
access and14,000 could lose

662
00:20:01,511 --> 00:20:01,761
healthcare coverage. we are

663
00:20:02,144 --> 00:20:02,394
already seeing the strain

664
00:20:04,011 --> 00:20:04,261
locally our elders and limited

665
00:20:05,744 --> 00:20:05,994
English proficient neighbors are

666
00:20:07,477 --> 00:20:07,727
often the first to feel losses

667
00:20:08,244 --> 00:20:08,494
like these because they have the

668
00:20:10,277 --> 00:20:10,527
least room to absorb them. we

669
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:12,027
also see this in the cost of

670
00:20:13,544 --> 00:20:13,794
raising a family here childcare

671
00:20:14,277 --> 00:20:14,527
innevada now costs more than

672
00:20:16,244 --> 00:20:16,494
college and programs like prek

673
00:20:18,044 --> 00:20:18,294
and headadart face a funding gap

674
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:20,294
of over a billion dollars for

675
00:20:21,911 --> 00:20:22,161
many of our families raising the

676
00:20:22,577 --> 00:20:22,827
first generation to grow up in

677
00:20:25,544 --> 00:20:25,794
the va school system that gaphas

678
00:20:26,277 --> 00:20:26,527
whether a child gets the early

679
00:20:28,244 --> 00:20:28,494
support they need. We asked the

680
00:20:29,977 --> 00:20:30,227
committee to pursue revenue

681
00:20:31,511 --> 00:20:31,761
solutions that modernize our tax

682
00:20:32,244 --> 00:20:32,494
code and move us away from over

683
00:20:34,277 --> 00:20:34,527
reliance on regressive taxes,

684
00:20:35,977 --> 00:20:36,227
investing in public service,

685
00:20:37,811 --> 00:20:38,061
healthcare and child care is an

686
00:20:38,477 --> 00:20:38,727
investment in all of us. thank

687
00:20:39,144 --> 00:20:39,394
you for your time.

688
00:20:45,511 --> 00:20:45,761
Good morning Chairneal and

689
00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:46,394

also speak on behalf of all the

693
00:20:52,511 --> 00:20:52,761
IBW within the state of Nevada

694
00:20:53,144 --> 00:20:53,394
in this moment

695
00:20:55,511 --> 00:20:55,761
and I just wanted to say thank

696
00:20:56,144 --> 00:20:56,394
you for all the work you're

697
00:20:57,477 --> 00:20:57,727
doing and the ongoing

698
00:20:58,211 --> 00:20:58,461
conversations chairneal that

699
00:20:59,777 --> 00:21:00,027
we've had regarding the data

700
00:21:03,511 --> 00:21:03,761
center tax incentives it

701
00:21:05,977 --> 00:21:06,227
is our stance that being good

702
00:21:08,011 --> 00:21:08,261
stewards of the state with in

703
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:10,227
regards to economic

704
00:21:11,744 --> 00:21:11,994
development, environmental

705
00:21:13,744 --> 00:21:13,994
consciousness and and work and

706
00:21:15,544 --> 00:21:15,794
worker opportunities they're not

707
00:21:17,744 --> 00:21:17,994
mutually exclusive it is our

708
00:21:20,011 --> 00:21:20,261
stance that we feel that we can

709
00:21:21,744 --> 00:21:21,994
con we can ensure that

710
00:21:22,377 --> 00:21:22,627
ratepayers are not subsidizing

711
00:21:25,977 --> 00:21:26,227
cor po ration s being good

712
00:21:28,011 --> 00:21:28,261
stewards of water and the earth

713
00:21:29,777 --> 00:21:30,027
and provide good paying union

714
00:21:31,511 --> 00:21:31,761
jobs throughout the entire state

715
00:21:33,977 --> 00:21:34,227
of Nevada with data centers I

716
00:21:35,511 --> 00:21:35,761
think we just need to work

717
00:21:36,244 --> 00:21:36,494
collectively do it right which

718
00:21:38,044 --> 00:21:38,294
we I think we already are a good

719
00:21:39,511 --> 00:21:39,761
start and I know that there's a

720
00:21:40,277 --> 00:21:40,527
long road ahead and I appreciate

721
00:21:41,744 --> 00:21:41,994
the conversations that are

722
00:21:43,744 --> 00:21:43,994
already being had you know these

723
00:21:46,011 --> 00:21:46,261
are I could personally attest to

724
00:21:47,477 --> 00:21:47,727
someone that's built a data

725
00:21:49,511 --> 00:21:49,761
center here in Nevada before

726
00:21:50,111 --> 00:21:50,361
I came in this role that these

727
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:52,127
are some of the safest cleanest

728
00:21:55,477 --> 00:21:55,727
best paying jobs a

729
00:21:56,211 --> 00:21:56,461
construction worker can work for

730
00:21:58,244 --> 00:21:58,494
that that gives them a longevity

731
00:21:59,777 --> 00:22:00,027
that is not usually seen in

732
00:22:01,511 --> 00:22:01,761
their industry but there are

733
00:22:03,511 --> 00:22:03,761
post construction opportunities

734
00:22:06,244 --> 00:22:06,494
that are I think a little

735
00:22:07,944 --> 00:22:08,194
lost in the in the noise and I

736
00:22:09,511 --> 00:22:09,761
think that they need to be

737
00:22:10,244 --> 00:22:10,494
highlighted a little bit more

738
00:22:12,011 --> 00:22:12,261
there is good paying post

739
00:22:13,744 --> 00:22:13,994
construction jobs depending on

740
00:22:15,977 --> 00:22:16,227
the scale of the data centers

741
00:22:17,777 --> 00:22:18,027
and while this these tax

742
00:22:19,511 --> 00:22:19,761
incentives have been in place

743
00:22:20,177 --> 00:22:20,427
for a long time we're not

744
00:22:21,877 --> 00:22:22,127
advocating for an increase in

745
00:22:22,577 --> 00:22:22,827
them. we just we

746
00:22:24,011 --> 00:22:24,261
asking that they stay the same

747
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:26,261
and if and if we can make them

748
00:22:28,011 --> 00:22:28,261
into something that incentivizes

749
00:22:29,777 --> 00:22:30,027
the good actors to come to the

750
00:22:31,511 --> 00:22:31,761
state of Nevada I think it could

751
00:22:33,511 --> 00:22:33,761
be a wonderful win for everybody

752
00:22:34,244 --> 00:22:34,494
so thank you for your time and

753
00:22:35,677 --> 00:22:35,927
look forward to working with

754
00:22:36,344 --> 00:22:36,594
everyone in the future.

755
00:22:43,711 --> 00:22:43,961
so we will go to public comment

756
00:22:44,377 --> 00:22:44,627

state and I'm here to talk

766
00:23:07,744 --> 00:23:07,994
briefly about what new revenue

767
00:23:09,744 --> 00:23:09,994
would mean for nevada's children

768
00:23:11,511 --> 00:23:11,761
you've already heard a little

769
00:23:13,711 --> 00:23:13,961
bit about childcare as many

770
00:23:15,777 --> 00:23:16,027
of you know after theOvid funds

771
00:23:16,444 --> 00:23:16,694
were finished up the

772
00:23:20,211 --> 00:23:20,461
eligibility for the childcare

773
00:23:21,977 --> 00:23:22,227
subsidy was reduced in nevada

774
00:23:26,011 --> 00:23:26,261
from85% to41% of the state

775
00:23:28,244 --> 00:23:28,494
median income we are currently

776
00:23:31,477 --> 00:23:31,727
serving around6000 children and

777
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:32,661
families with that money and

778
00:23:35,744 --> 00:23:35,994
that represents fewer than10% of

779
00:23:38,011 --> 00:23:38,261
the eligible families we are

780
00:23:40,011 --> 00:23:40,261
working on a plan to create a

781
00:23:42,044 --> 00:23:42,294
statef funded childcare

782
00:23:44,444 --> 00:23:44,694
investment fund and just to

783
00:23:46,011 --> 00:23:46,261
double the number of children

784
00:23:46,677 --> 00:23:46,927
being served and bring it up

785
00:23:51,511 --> 00:23:51,761
to possibly close to 20% we

786
00:23:53,511 --> 00:23:53,761
would be looking at150 million

787
00:23:55,777 --> 00:23:56,027
dollars per year or300 million

788
00:23:57,977 --> 00:23:58,227
over the biennium so new

789
00:23:59,977 --> 00:24:00,227
revenues are critical to be able

790
00:24:02,411 --> 00:24:02,661
to serve these families who so

791
00:24:04,244 --> 00:24:04,494
much need this service and

792
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:06,461
support in terms of childcare

793
00:24:07,977 --> 00:24:08,227
so they can go to work and

794
00:24:10,011 --> 00:24:10,261
provide a decent living for

795
00:24:13,477 --> 00:24:13,727
their families in the area of

796
00:24:15,511 --> 00:24:15,761
children's health we passed or

797
00:24:16,344 --> 00:24:16,594
the legislature passed last

798
00:24:16,911 --> 00:24:17,161
session SB16

799
00:24:20,244 --> 00:24:20,494
5 which creates a behavioral

800
00:24:22,011 --> 00:24:22,261
health and wellness practitioner

801
00:24:24,044 --> 00:24:24,294
license. this is a new license

802
00:24:26,011 --> 00:24:26,261
of healthcare provider that can

803
00:24:28,244 --> 00:24:28,494
help do early interventions and

804
00:24:29,977 --> 00:24:30,227
supports for children with

805
00:24:31,744 --> 00:24:31,994
mental and behavioral health

806
00:24:33,511 --> 00:24:33,761
needs before they get to the

807
00:24:35,744 --> 00:24:35,994
crisis point to fully implement

808
00:24:37,744 --> 00:24:37,994
this bill which was funded last

809
00:24:39,744 --> 00:24:39,994
session we need to make sure our

810
00:24:41,744 --> 00:24:41,994
licensing boards have the staff

811
00:24:43,711 --> 00:24:43,961
that they need to process these

812
00:24:45,777 --> 00:24:46,027
new license applications as well

813
00:24:46,444 --> 00:24:46,694
as support thenevada healthalth

814
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:47,361
Authority and

815
00:24:50,544 --> 00:24:50,794
their ability to credential

816
00:24:53,744 --> 00:24:53,994
providers and then also support

817
00:24:55,977 --> 00:24:56,227
uhmCOs in their contracting with

818
00:24:58,277 --> 00:24:58,527
providers we are still hearing

819
00:24:59,811 --> 00:25:00,061
from families that they're

820
00:25:00,344 --> 00:25:00,594
having difficulty getting the

821
00:25:02,277 --> 00:25:02,527
appointments and the services

822
00:25:03,777 --> 00:25:04,027
that they need and we need a

823
00:25:05,511 --> 00:25:05,761
little bit of infrastructure

824
00:25:07,511 --> 00:25:07,761
support to make that a reality

825
00:25:09,977 --> 00:25:10,227
and finally in child welfare

826
00:25:12,211 --> 00:25:12,461
we s we spend most of our money

827
00:25:15,744 --> 00:25:15,994
in terms of care foster care

828
00:25:16,344 --> 00:25:16,594
and interventions later on in

829
00:25:17,011 --> 00:25:17,261
the process

830
00:25:20,444 --> 00:25:20,694
we need to invest more in

831
00:25:22,244 --> 00:25:22,494
prevention and early investments

832
00:25:24,277 --> 00:25:24,527
in supporting families so they

833
00:25:26,344 --> 00:25:26,594
don't become system involved so

834
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:28,527
they aren't dealing with crisis

835
00:25:30,244 --> 00:25:30,494
situations and this is another

836
00:25:32,477 --> 00:25:32,727
place where new revenue that is

837
00:25:35,511 --> 00:25:35,761
sustained and reliable will make

838
00:25:36,211 --> 00:25:36,461
a significant difference for

839
00:25:39,511 --> 00:25:39,761
Nevada families so we very much

doing and looking at finding

842

ways to create sustainable

843
00:25:46,311 --> 00:25:46,561
reliable funding investments for

844
00:25:47,011 --> 00:25:47,261

856
00:26:29,811 --> 00:26:30,061
Hello can you hear

857
00:26:33,677 --> 00:26:33,927
Yes, go ahead

858
00:26:38,044 --> 00:26:38,294
great thank you. hi my name is

859
00:26:41,511 --> 00:26:41,761
Elizabeth Breeassper I

860
00:26:43,744 --> 00:26:43,994
live600 feet from the Keystone

861
00:26:44,444 --> 00:26:44,694
datataenter that they're

862
00:26:45,011 --> 00:26:45,261
building in Reno, Nevada

863
00:26:47,511 --> 00:26:47,761
was not

864
00:26:48,411 --> 00:26:48,661
notified about this

865
00:26:51,744 --> 00:26:51,994
ahead of time and then they

866
00:26:53,744 --> 00:26:53,994
started building the data center

867
00:26:57,777 --> 00:26:58,027
and now my income as a rental

868
00:27:00,044 --> 00:27:00,294
will be significantly changed my

869
00:27:02,011 --> 00:27:02,261
property value has already

870
00:27:03,677 --> 00:27:03,927
decreased over $200,000

871
00:27:08,011 --> 00:27:08,261
my taxes now for my motherinlaw

872
00:27:10,177 --> 00:27:10,427
quarters is more are more each

873
00:27:11,877 --> 00:27:12,127
quarter than it is for my main

874
00:27:12,544 --> 00:27:12,794
house

875
00:27:14,644 --> 00:27:14,894
and things just aren't making

876
00:27:15,311 --> 00:27:15,561
sense. I urge

877
00:27:19,511 --> 00:27:19,761
this committee to please

878
00:27:21,511 --> 00:27:21,761
reevaluate the tax abatements

879
00:27:23,744 --> 00:27:23,994
and income incentives granted to

880
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:26,594
heavy load low job created data

881
00:27:27,044 --> 00:27:27,294
centers

882
00:27:31,511 --> 00:27:31,761
I request require a strict

883
00:27:32,477 --> 00:27:32,727
fiscal and resource impact

884
00:27:35,511 --> 00:27:35,761
studies being addressed on how

885
00:27:36,211 --> 00:27:36,461
the grid updates and water

886
00:27:38,011 --> 00:27:38,261
consumptions affect local

887
00:27:40,211 --> 00:27:40,461
taxpayers before any new

888
00:27:40,777 --> 00:27:41,027
developments are green lit.

889
00:27:43,977 --> 00:27:44,227
and they also ask to ensure that

890
00:27:46,011 --> 00:27:46,261
the financial burdens of

891
00:27:48,011 --> 00:27:48,261
powering these massive complexes

892
00:27:49,511 --> 00:27:49,761
f fall squarely on the

893
00:27:51,511 --> 00:27:51,761
developers and corporate

894
00:27:52,211 --> 00:27:52,461
entities profiting from them and

895
00:27:55,511 --> 00:27:55,761
not from the working families as

896
00:27:56,244 --> 00:27:56,494
it is you have the majority of

897
00:27:58,511 --> 00:27:58,761
people in my area unable to pay

898
00:28:00,277 --> 00:28:00,527
for their power bills we're

899
00:28:02,277 --> 00:28:02,527
talking about adding more fees

900
00:28:05,977 --> 00:28:06,227
to our Nvy bill when my neighbor

901
00:28:08,011 --> 00:28:08,261
on one side can't even stay

902
00:28:08,611 --> 00:28:08,861
inside their home during the

903
00:28:09,277 --> 00:28:09,527
heat

904
00:28:12,211 --> 00:28:12,461
so for the last three months

905
00:28:13,711 --> 00:28:13,961
they haven't been inside their

906
00:28:15,511 --> 00:28:15,761
home during the day and have to

907
00:28:17,511 --> 00:28:17,761
go down to the river to find

908
00:28:18,077 --> 00:28:18,327
some reprieve from the heat

909
00:28:22,044 --> 00:28:22,294
on the other side of my house

910
00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:23,994
my neighbor can't afford the

911
00:28:25,977 --> 00:28:26,227
heat and is burning pallets

912
00:28:28,177 --> 00:28:28,427
because we don't have we're all

913
00:28:30,244 --> 00:28:30,494
on oil heat and to have oil

914
00:28:32,011 --> 00:28:32,261
delivered has gotten so

915
00:28:34,277 --> 00:28:34,527
expensive it is unbelievable. I

916
00:28:36,377 --> 00:28:36,627
just ask that the committee to

917
00:28:37,044 --> 00:28:37,294
please see

918
00:28:38,144 --> 00:28:38,394
the

919
00:28:40,477 --> 00:28:40,727
humans that live inside this

920
00:28:42,277 --> 00:28:42,527
state as more than just

921
00:28:45,477 --> 00:28:45,727
stakeholders but as

922
00:28:47,477 --> 00:28:47,727
individuals that need freshwa

923
00:28:48,144 --> 00:28:48,394
and need

924
00:28:50,277 --> 00:28:50,527
the ability to afford our

925
00:28:52,744 --> 00:28:52,994
utilities as well as our homes

926
00:28:53,411 --> 00:28:53,661
thank you so much for your time

927
00:28:54,077 --> 00:28:54,327
today.

928
00:28:57,644 --> 00:28:57,894
Thank you next

929
00:29:09,511 --> 00:29:09,761
thank you chairneal on the

930
00:29:10,077 --> 00:29:10,327
committee my name is Shelby

931
00:29:12,211 --> 00:29:12,461
Swchwartz S W A R T Z and I am

932
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:13,961
the executive director of

933
00:29:15,511 --> 00:29:15,761
Battleburnne Progress. I'm also

934
00:29:16,177 --> 00:29:16,427
the mom of two young boys and

935
00:29:17,944 --> 00:29:18,194
like so many Nevada families I

936
00:29:18,677 --> 00:29:18,927
think about our state budget in

937
00:29:21,511 --> 00:29:21,761
very practical terms Can my kids

938
00:29:22,211 --> 00:29:22,461
get the healthcare that they

939
00:29:23,511 --> 00:29:23,761
need? Will their schools have

940
00:29:24,111 --> 00:29:24,361
enough teachers and support

941
00:29:25,777 --> 00:29:26,027
staff can families afford

942
00:29:27,477 --> 00:29:27,727
childcare housing, groceries and

943
00:29:28,177 --> 00:29:28,427
utilities while still getting

944
00:29:28,844 --> 00:29:29,094
ahead.

945
00:29:31,877 --> 00:29:32,127
our state budget helps determine

946
00:29:32,544 --> 00:29:32,794
the answers to those questions

947
00:29:34,244 --> 00:29:34,494
it funds healthcare schools for

948
00:29:36,011 --> 00:29:36,261
early childhood through higher

949
00:29:37,744 --> 00:29:37,994
education good paying jobs

950
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:39,761
infrastructure and so much more

951
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:40,461
but we cannot talk about what

952
00:29:41,744 --> 00:29:41,994
our state funds without also

953
00:29:43,477 --> 00:29:43,727
talking about who is being asked

954
00:29:44,511 --> 00:29:44,761
to pay for it. Nevada has the

955
00:29:46,011 --> 00:29:46,261
fifth most aggressive tax system

956
00:29:48,011 --> 00:29:48,261
in the country. the lowest

957
00:29:49,744 --> 00:29:49,994
income Nevadans pay nearly12% of

958
00:29:50,511 --> 00:29:50,761
their income in state and local

959
00:29:52,277 --> 00:29:52,527
taxes while the wealthiest1% pay

960
00:29:52,977 --> 00:29:53,227
less than3%.

961
00:29:55,744 --> 00:29:55,994
that means the families with the

962
00:29:57,744 --> 00:29:57,994
least are paying proportionally

963
00:29:59,477 --> 00:29:59,727
more than4 times what the

964
00:30:00,211 --> 00:30:00,461
wealthiest Nevadans pay and

965
00:30:02,011 --> 00:30:02,261
families feel the consequences

966
00:30:03,744 --> 00:30:03,994
of that imbalance every single

967
00:30:05,477 --> 00:30:05,727
day we see it in healthcare

968
00:30:06,244 --> 00:30:06,494
providers shortages and longer

969
00:30:07,777 --> 00:30:08,027
waits for care we see it in

970
00:30:08,411 --> 00:30:08,661
overcrowded classrooms

971
00:30:10,244 --> 00:30:10,494
overworked educators and support

972
00:30:12,277 --> 00:30:12,527
staff stretched far too thin. We

973
00:30:13,777 --> 00:30:14,027
see it whenevernevadans are

974
00:30:14,477 --> 00:30:14,727
forced to make tough choices to

975
00:30:15,111 --> 00:30:15,361
do more with less.

976
00:30:17,711 --> 00:30:17,961
but our government has choices

977
00:30:19,711 --> 00:30:19,961
to make too as governorlombardo

978
00:30:21,511 --> 00:30:21,761
himself said recently Nevada's

979
00:30:22,511 --> 00:30:22,761
limited resources can only do so

980
00:30:24,244 --> 00:30:24,494
much, which begs the question

981
00:30:25,744 --> 00:30:25,994
why are our resources so

982
00:30:26,311 --> 00:30:26,561
limited?

983
00:30:28,344 --> 00:30:28,594
I appreciate that senator Neal

984
00:30:29,777 --> 00:30:30,027
has led this committee as it has

985
00:30:31,511 --> 00:30:31,761
spent the interim seriously

986
00:30:32,244 --> 00:30:32,494
examining the that exact

987
00:30:34,044 --> 00:30:34,294
challenge and looking for

988
00:30:35,511 --> 00:30:35,761
solutions underder your

989
00:30:36,011 --> 00:30:36,261
leadership we have an

990
00:30:37,777 --> 00:30:38,027
opportunity to build something

991
00:30:39,777 --> 00:30:40,027
better as a mom I want my kids

992
00:30:40,411 --> 00:30:40,661
to grow up in anevada where

993
00:30:41,777 --> 00:30:42,027
grade schools quality

994
00:30:43,511 --> 00:30:43,761
healthcare, safe communities and

995
00:30:44,277 --> 00:30:44,527
economic opportunity are things

996
00:30:46,044 --> 00:30:46,294
that every family can count on

997
00:30:47,844 --> 00:30:48,094
Nothing would disappear whenever

998
00:30:48,511 --> 00:30:48,761
the budget gets tight.

999
00:30:51,544 --> 00:30:51,794
that requires a tax system where

1000
00:30:52,277 --> 00:30:52,527
everyone pays their fair share

1001
00:30:53,777 --> 00:30:54,027
or the people with the lease are

1002
00:30:55,511 --> 00:30:55,761
no longer asked to shoulder the

1003
00:30:56,144 --> 00:30:56,394
greatest burden and where our

1004
00:30:58,011 --> 00:30:58,261
revenue actually grows alongside

1005
00:30:59,777 --> 00:31:00,027
our state thank you toyerneal

1006
00:31:01,544 --> 00:31:01,794
and the members of the committee

1007
00:31:02,211 --> 00:31:02,461
for the work you have done this

1008
00:31:03,544 --> 00:31:03,794
interim and for continuing the

1009
00:31:04,177 --> 00:31:04,427
conversation about how we build

1010
00:31:05,977 --> 00:31:06,227
anevada that works for everybody

1011
00:31:06,677 --> 00:31:06,927
and not just the select few

1012
00:31:11,911 --> 00:31:12,161
Thank you.ext coer

1013
00:31:26,277 --> 00:31:26,527
good morning members of interim

1014
00:31:28,011 --> 00:31:28,261
revenue Committee for the record

1015
00:31:29,511 --> 00:31:29,761
my name is Eddie Apoliser with

1016
00:31:32,244 --> 00:31:32,494
ristrategies and pmI I am

1017
00:31:35,544 --> 00:31:35,794
calling in today to address the

1018
00:31:37,844 --> 00:31:38,094
work session item E7 as the

1019
00:31:38,411 --> 00:31:38,661
committee reviews

1020
00:31:40,244 --> 00:31:40,494
the tax structure on tobacco

1021
00:31:41,711 --> 00:31:41,961
products in the state of Nevada.

1022
00:31:46,044 --> 00:31:46,294
we're calling to encourage the

1023
00:31:48,044 --> 00:31:48,294
committee to review what many

1024
00:31:49,744 --> 00:31:49,994
other states across the country

1025
00:31:52,011 --> 00:31:52,261
have done which is including a

1026
00:31:54,244 --> 00:31:54,494
modifiedri tobacco product the

1027
00:31:56,311 --> 00:31:56,561
MRTP designation as authorized

1028
00:31:57,877 --> 00:31:58,127
by theood andug Administration.

1029
00:32:01,777 --> 00:32:02,027
these products have gone through

1030
00:32:02,477 --> 00:32:02,727
significant and timely

1031
00:32:06,011 --> 00:32:06,261
scientific analysis and received

1032
00:32:08,311 --> 00:32:08,561
MRTP designations because of

1033
00:32:10,277 --> 00:32:10,527
their demonstration of moving

1034
00:32:12,044 --> 00:32:12,294
consumers off of extremely

1035
00:32:14,044 --> 00:32:14,294
dangerous cigarettes that harms

1036
00:32:15,777 --> 00:32:16,027
the individual in public health

1037
00:32:19,511 --> 00:32:19,761
onto a less harmful option and

1038
00:32:21,544 --> 00:32:21,794
still allows the consumer to

1039
00:32:22,177 --> 00:32:22,427
partake in their consumption of

1040
00:32:22,844 --> 00:32:23,094
nicotine.

1041
00:32:25,744 --> 00:32:25,994
we encourage the committee to

1042
00:32:27,977 --> 00:32:28,227
review MRTP discounts as many

1043
00:32:29,744 --> 00:32:29,994
other states have done when

1044
00:32:31,777 --> 00:32:32,027
you're analyzing the tax code as

1045
00:32:34,311 --> 00:32:34,561
a possible BDr we're hopeful

1046
00:32:37,511 --> 00:32:37,761
that in engaging in an MRTP

1047
00:32:39,777 --> 00:32:40,027
discount the method would

1048
00:32:41,777 --> 00:32:42,027
incentivize the use of these

1049
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:43,794
harm reduction tobacco products

1050
00:32:44,177 --> 00:32:44,427
into the state of Nevada which

1051
00:32:46,311 --> 00:32:46,561
are currently not being sold

1052
00:32:48,277 --> 00:32:48,527
because it incentivizes

1053
00:32:51,511 --> 00:32:51,761
consumers to purchase and use

1054
00:32:52,411 --> 00:32:52,661
cigarettes instead of instead of

1055
00:32:53,077 --> 00:32:53,327
these MRTP

1056
00:32:55,777 --> 00:32:56,027
products thank you for your time

1057
00:32:57,677 --> 00:32:57,927

Christian Solomon and I serve as

the western director of rise we

1068
00:33:34,277 --> 00:33:34,527
are a Gen Z advocacy

1069
00:33:36,344 --> 00:33:36,594
organization serving Nevada's

1070
00:33:38,044 --> 00:33:38,294
college students and youth. I'm

1071
00:33:39,511 --> 00:33:39,761
speaking in support of the

1072
00:33:41,777 --> 00:33:42,027
ongoing efforts to reexamine our

1073
00:33:43,777 --> 00:33:44,027
tax code and modernize revenue

1074
00:33:45,511 --> 00:33:45,761
which will be crucial to shaping

1075
00:33:46,277 --> 00:33:46,527
the future for our young

1076
00:33:47,777 --> 00:33:48,027
Nevadans that we can all be

1077
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:50,027
proud of. We envision a future

1078
00:33:51,511 --> 00:33:51,761
where our state is in a much

1079
00:33:52,277 --> 00:33:52,527
better position to fund higher

1080
00:33:54,644 --> 00:33:54,894
education and prevent the burden

1081
00:33:55,311 --> 00:33:55,561
of tuition rate increases

1082
00:33:57,744 --> 00:33:57,994
from falling on the backs of

1083
00:33:59,744 --> 00:33:59,994
students and working families

1084
00:34:01,744 --> 00:34:01,994
where a state education can

1085
00:34:02,344 --> 00:34:02,594
remain affordable for young

1086
00:34:04,211 --> 00:34:04,461
Nevadans and the faculty who run

1087
00:34:06,444 --> 00:34:06,694
it can maintain decent pay and

1088
00:34:08,277 --> 00:34:08,527
benefits we want a future where

1089
00:34:10,011 --> 00:34:10,261
students can have reprieve

1090
00:34:11,777 --> 00:34:12,027
knowing that critical services

1091
00:34:13,777 --> 00:34:14,027
like regional transportation are

1092
00:34:15,777 --> 00:34:16,027
robust and can get them to their

1093
00:34:17,744 --> 00:34:17,994
jobs their classes and their

1094
00:34:19,511 --> 00:34:19,761
recreation on time and

1095
00:34:21,511 --> 00:34:21,761
unencumbered where transit is

1096
00:34:22,277 --> 00:34:22,527
accessible to all corners of our

1097
00:34:24,311 --> 00:34:24,561
state and to everyone on the

1098
00:34:24,977 --> 00:34:25,227
socioeconomic scale

1099
00:34:27,744 --> 00:34:27,994
despite the national

1100
00:34:29,477 --> 00:34:29,727
affordability crisis that we're

1101
00:34:31,477 --> 00:34:31,727
seeing today young people are

1102
00:34:32,277 --> 00:34:32,527
not looking to Washington for

1103
00:34:33,977 --> 00:34:34,227
the sweeping changes needed to

1104
00:34:36,011 --> 00:34:36,261
make this future a reality we're

1105
00:34:36,711 --> 00:34:36,961

voice my support in repealing

1127
00:35:32,011 --> 00:35:32,261
Nevada's data center tax

1128
00:35:34,011 --> 00:35:34,261
abatements our economy, food

1129
00:35:35,777 --> 00:35:36,027
prices, housing costs and

1130
00:35:36,511 --> 00:35:36,761
healthcare have all increased

1131
00:35:37,977 --> 00:35:38,227
exponentially especially over

1132
00:35:40,211 --> 00:35:40,461
the last18 months and Nevadans

1133
00:35:42,011 --> 00:35:42,261
have suffered the consequences.

1134
00:35:43,711 --> 00:35:43,961
We need money invested in the

1135
00:35:45,511 --> 00:35:45,761
people and not big tech. I do

not merely survive but to thrive

1147
00:36:05,511 --> 00:36:05,761
here as Nevadans and we're tired

1148
00:36:06,177 --> 00:36:06,427
of waiting for our leadership to

1149
00:36:07,544 --> 00:36:07,794

00:36:25,544 --> 00:36:25,794
Good morning members of the

1155
00:36:27,511 --> 00:36:27,761
committee and chair Senator Neal

1156
00:36:28,177 --> 00:36:28,427
for the record my name is Julie

1157
00:36:28,877 --> 00:36:29,127
Kemp.

1158
00:36:30,044 --> 00:36:30,294
I wanted to show my support for

1159
00:36:32,077 --> 00:36:32,327
abDR which would end tax

1160
00:36:32,611 --> 00:36:32,861
abatements for data centers

1161
00:36:35,511 --> 00:36:35,761
as a community we are fighting

1162
00:36:36,277 --> 00:36:36,527
all over the valley against data

1163
00:36:37,777 --> 00:36:38,027
centers being built in our

1164
00:36:39,544 --> 00:36:39,794
backyard for many reasons

1165
00:36:40,111 --> 00:36:40,361
including the quality of our

1166
00:36:42,044 --> 00:36:42,294
air, water, the preservation of

1167
00:36:44,044 --> 00:36:44,294
our water and energy and the pre

1168
00:36:45,477 --> 00:36:45,727
prevention of mass surveillance

1169
00:36:46,277 --> 00:36:46,527
and the prevention of unwanted

1170
00:36:48,044 --> 00:36:48,294
Ai takeover which is looking

1171
00:36:49,777 --> 00:36:50,027
more and more like a threat to

1172
00:36:51,811 --> 00:36:52,061
human existence. we do not want

1173
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:53,761
data centers and our local

1174
00:36:54,144 --> 00:36:54,394
government officials were

1175
00:36:55,777 --> 00:36:56,027
elected to represent the people

1176
00:36:56,411 --> 00:36:56,661
and what we want for our

1177
00:36:58,044 --> 00:36:58,294
communities as this is how

1178
00:36:59,544 --> 00:36:59,794
democracy is supposed to work

1179
00:37:01,511 --> 00:37:01,761
not the other way around with

1180
00:37:02,111 --> 00:37:02,361
that, I thank you for looking to

1181
00:37:02,811 --> 00:37:03,061
the public for

1182
00:37:05,544 --> 00:37:05,794
our thoughts and opinions on tax

1183
00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:06,561
abatements for data centers by

1184
00:37:08,011 --> 00:37:08,261
removing tax abatements for data

1185
00:37:09,744 --> 00:37:09,994
centers you accomplish two

1186
00:37:11,744 --> 00:37:11,994
objectives first you remove a

1187
00:37:13,511 --> 00:37:13,761
large incentive from these large

1188
00:37:14,244 --> 00:37:14,494
corporations who are clamoring

1189
00:37:15,977 --> 00:37:16,227
to build in our communities and

1190
00:37:17,511 --> 00:37:17,761
protected government land.

1191
00:37:19,544 --> 00:37:19,794
Second, you make space for other

1192
00:37:20,277 --> 00:37:20,527
businesses to come in who

1193
00:37:22,044 --> 00:37:22,294
contribute positively to our

1194
00:37:24,244 --> 00:37:24,494
economy by creating meaningful

1195
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:26,061
long lasting jobs and are better

1196
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:26,827
for our environment and

1197
00:37:28,244 --> 00:37:28,494
humanity. It gives me hope to

1198
00:37:29,777 --> 00:37:30,027
think about a future in Nevada

1199
00:37:31,511 --> 00:37:31,761
where we foster a sense of

1200
00:37:32,111 --> 00:37:32,361
community and sustainability to

1201
00:37:32,744 --> 00:37:32,994
the growth of small

1202
00:37:35,444 --> 00:37:35,694
businesses who supply good

1203
00:37:36,511 --> 00:37:36,761
paying jobs products and

1204
00:37:37,777 --> 00:37:38,027
services to our local

1205
00:37:39,511 --> 00:37:39,761
communities somewherewhere along

1206
00:37:40,244 --> 00:37:40,494
the way the corporate takeover

1207
00:37:42,277 --> 00:37:42,527
of our entire economy has

1208
00:37:44,011 --> 00:37:44,261
rendered us reliant on companies

1209
00:37:45,744 --> 00:37:45,994
who care more about their bottom

1210
00:37:46,544 --> 00:37:46,794
line in shareholders than the

1211
00:37:48,111 --> 00:37:48,361
members of our communities who

1212
00:37:49,777 --> 00:37:50,027
work there we need to start

1213
00:37:51,511 --> 00:37:51,761
putting Nevadans first not

1214
00:37:52,277 --> 00:37:52,527
corporations and most definitely

1215
00:37:54,311 --> 00:37:54,561
not data centers I look forward

1216
00:37:56,044 --> 00:37:56,294
to the day when I can spend my

1217
00:37:57,744 --> 00:37:57,994
money locally where the money

1218
00:37:59,544 --> 00:37:59,794
stays here in Nevada supporting

1219
00:38:00,311 --> 00:38:00,561
local businesses their employees

1220
00:38:02,111 --> 00:38:02,361
and their families as it stands

1221
00:38:02,811 --> 00:38:03,061
a barely shop in

1222
00:38:05,711 --> 00:38:05,961
personsa more. I mostly purchase

1223
00:38:07,511 --> 00:38:07,761
online from small independent

1224
00:38:08,277 --> 00:38:08,527
sellers everywhere you go here

1225
00:38:10,044 --> 00:38:10,294
in Las Vegas and henderson it's

1226
00:38:11,744 --> 00:38:11,994
difficult to find an

1227
00:38:13,511 --> 00:38:13,761
independently owned business for

1228
00:38:14,244 --> 00:38:14,494
necessary household products or

1229
00:38:15,777 --> 00:38:16,027
a restaurant with good quality

1230
00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:16,794
ingredients and homemade

1231
00:38:18,344 --> 00:38:18,594
recipes. I refuse to eat at

1232
00:38:20,044 --> 00:38:20,294
corporate restaurants or shops

1233
00:38:21,777 --> 00:38:22,027
at large corporate stores who

1234
00:38:22,411 --> 00:38:22,661
don't pay their employees a

1235
00:38:24,077 --> 00:38:24,327
living wage or don't even have

1236
00:38:25,877 --> 00:38:26,127
safe or equitable work

1237
00:38:27,511 --> 00:38:27,761
environments more so I think

1238
00:38:28,311 --> 00:38:28,561
it's high time that we as a

1239
00:38:30,311 --> 00:38:30,561
community and a country curb our

1240
00:38:31,811 --> 00:38:32,061
support for corporations and

1241
00:38:32,377 --> 00:38:32,627
their shareholders we need to

1242
00:38:33,044 --> 00:38:33,294
take

1243
00:38:36,077 --> 00:38:36,327
back our control of local of our

1244
00:38:37,777 --> 00:38:38,027
local economy and as they say

1245
00:38:38,377 --> 00:38:38,627
keep it local thank you for your

1246
00:38:39,077 --> 00:38:39,327

Trace York and I thank you for

1285
00:40:17,477 --> 00:40:17,727
the opportunity to testify today

1286
00:40:18,211 --> 00:40:18,461
on behalf of the American Gaming

1287
00:40:19,977 --> 00:40:20,227
Association and I'm very pleased

1288
00:40:21,744 --> 00:40:21,994
to also testify with my

1289
00:40:23,977 --> 00:40:24,227
friend Chairman Dreitzer so I

1290
00:40:27,511 --> 00:40:27,761
have a very short but but fairly

1291
00:40:28,277 --> 00:40:28,527
all encompassing PowerPoint

1292
00:40:29,977 --> 00:40:30,227
presentation that I'm going to

1293
00:40:32,311 --> 00:40:32,561
share my screen with for

1294
00:40:33,744 --> 00:40:33,994
the committee so give me one

1295
00:40:34,311 --> 00:40:34,561
second

1296
00:40:37,511 --> 00:40:37,761
I hope everyone can see this. I

1297
00:40:38,244 --> 00:40:38,494
think there might be a a second

1298
00:40:40,244 --> 00:40:40,494
or two delays so forgive me on

1299
00:40:43,511 --> 00:40:43,761
that but I'll start off by

1300
00:40:44,244 --> 00:40:44,494
just kind of stating the obvious

1301
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:46,527
that that Chairman Drreitzer

1302
00:40:48,011 --> 00:40:48,261
and I and those in the room know

1303
00:40:49,777 --> 00:40:50,027
which is sports betting on

1304
00:40:51,511 --> 00:40:51,761
prediction markets like alci and

1305
00:40:54,011 --> 00:40:54,261
Poly market makes a mockery of

1306
00:40:55,777 --> 00:40:56,027
congressional intent they

1307
00:40:57,477 --> 00:40:57,727
strip Americans of important

1308
00:40:58,544 --> 00:40:58,794
consumer protections and they're

1309
00:41:00,277 --> 00:41:00,527
costing states a fortune and

1310
00:41:02,044 --> 00:41:02,294
lost state tax revenue.

1311
00:41:03,944 --> 00:41:04,194
thankfully Nevada is fighting

1312
00:41:04,611 --> 00:41:04,861
back

1313
00:41:06,377 --> 00:41:06,627
and going after these bad actors

1314
00:41:07,044 --> 00:41:07,294
head on

1315
00:41:17,977 --> 00:41:18,227
So to begin I'd like to give a

1316
00:41:20,011 --> 00:41:20,261
brief overview of the AGA who

1317
00:41:22,011 --> 00:41:22,261
our members are and the impact

1318
00:41:24,311 --> 00:41:24,561
that the legal regulated gaming

1319
00:41:26,044 --> 00:41:26,294
industry has which no state

1320
00:41:27,511 --> 00:41:27,761
knows better than the state of

1321
00:41:29,744 --> 00:41:29,994
Nevada. The AGA represents

1322
00:41:30,511 --> 00:41:30,761
commercial and tribal casinos

1323
00:41:33,511 --> 00:41:33,761
gaming manufacturers state

1324
00:41:35,511 --> 00:41:35,761
regulated sports books and

1325
00:41:36,311 --> 00:41:36,561
technology and payment providers

1326
00:41:38,344 --> 00:41:38,594
many of which are located within

1327
00:41:39,044 --> 00:41:39,294
the state of Nevada.

1328
00:41:42,277 --> 00:41:42,527
the gaming industry has an

1329
00:41:44,244 --> 00:41:44,494
economic impact of nearly330

1330
00:41:46,244 --> 00:41:46,494
billion dollars nationwide

1331
00:41:48,277 --> 00:41:48,527
supports1.8 million jobs and

1332
00:41:51,511 --> 00:41:51,761
generates over52 billion dollars

1333
00:41:52,244 --> 00:41:52,494
in state tax and tribal revenue

1334
00:41:52,911 --> 00:41:53,161
share.

1335
00:41:55,511 --> 00:41:55,761
the legal gaming industry in the

1336
00:41:56,244 --> 00:41:56,494
United States is one of the most

1337
00:41:58,211 --> 00:41:58,461
highly regulated in the country

1338
00:42:01,711 --> 00:42:01,961
with over8,400 state and tribal

1339
00:42:03,977 --> 00:42:04,227
gaming regulators overseeing

1340
00:42:05,777 --> 00:42:06,027
operations this stands in stark

1341
00:42:06,444 --> 00:42:06,694
contrast to how prediction

1342
00:42:08,011 --> 00:42:08,261
markets are quote unquote

1343
00:42:09,977 --> 00:42:10,227
regulated by a small federal

1344
00:42:12,244 --> 00:42:12,494
agency with only600 employees

1345
00:42:13,977 --> 00:42:14,227
questionable enforcement

1346
00:42:15,777 --> 00:42:16,027
capability and only one

1347
00:42:16,511 --> 00:42:16,761
commissioner when they are

1348
00:42:18,011 --> 00:42:18,261
supposed to be5 which I'll get

1349
00:42:18,677 --> 00:42:18,927
to a little bit more shortly.

1350
00:42:23,711 --> 00:42:23,961
for an overview of where gaming

1351
00:42:25,977 --> 00:42:26,227
is legally right now in 2026

1352
00:42:27,744 --> 00:42:27,994
this map shows you that almost

1353
00:42:29,744 --> 00:42:29,994
every state in the country has

1354
00:42:31,511 --> 00:42:31,761
some form of legal gaming

1355
00:42:32,244 --> 00:42:32,494
whether it's casino gaming

1356
00:42:34,244 --> 00:42:34,494
tribal gaming sports betting

1357
00:42:37,744 --> 00:42:37,994
online casino etc. only a few

1358
00:42:39,511 --> 00:42:39,761
decades ago legal gaming was

1359
00:42:40,244 --> 00:42:40,494
restricted to just Nevada and

1360
00:42:42,011 --> 00:42:42,261
then later to New Jersey but

1361
00:42:43,877 --> 00:42:44,127
that's clearly no longer the

1362
00:42:44,544 --> 00:42:44,794
case

1363
00:42:46,277 --> 00:42:46,527
Furthermore, the supreme court

1364
00:42:49,777 --> 00:42:50,027
overturned PaSA in 2018 and gave

1365
00:42:50,477 --> 00:42:50,727
the states the right to

1366
00:42:52,011 --> 00:42:52,261
determine whether or not to

1367
00:42:53,777 --> 00:42:54,027
legalize sports betting. This

1368
00:42:55,511 --> 00:42:55,761
map shows you that over 40

1369
00:42:57,777 --> 00:42:58,027
jurisdictions have chosen to do

1370
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:00,027
so over the last eight years.

1371
00:43:01,511 --> 00:43:01,761
This is one of the fastest rates

1372
00:43:02,277 --> 00:43:02,527
of public policy adoption

1373
00:43:04,011 --> 00:43:04,261
throughout the country in any

1374
00:43:04,677 --> 00:43:04,927
format in recent memory.

1375
00:43:08,277 --> 00:43:08,527
Moreover,32 states have

1376
00:43:10,277 --> 00:43:10,527
legalized online sports betting

1377
00:43:12,011 --> 00:43:12,261
which gets to the heart of the

1378
00:43:13,511 --> 00:43:13,761
issue with socalled prediction

1379
00:43:14,511 --> 00:43:14,761
markets also offering sports

1380
00:43:16,244 --> 00:43:16,494
gambling but doing so outside of

1381
00:43:18,077 --> 00:43:18,327
the state and tribal frameworks

1382
00:43:18,744 --> 00:43:18,994
that have been created

1383
00:43:21,511 --> 00:43:21,761
if a state wants to legalize

1384
00:43:23,511 --> 00:43:23,761
online sports betting each

1385
00:43:24,144 --> 00:43:24,394
individual state creates the

1386
00:43:25,744 --> 00:43:25,994
laws and regulations that govern

1387
00:43:27,744 --> 00:43:27,994
those operations if a state

1388
00:43:29,477 --> 00:43:29,727
decides it's not the right time

1389
00:43:31,511 --> 00:43:31,761
or they may never do so that is

1390
00:43:32,544 --> 00:43:32,794
also the state's prerogative. P

1391
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:34,027
prediction markets are

1392
00:43:35,511 --> 00:43:35,761
attempting to throw that state

1393
00:43:37,777 --> 00:43:38,027
regulated system and the state's

1394
00:43:39,777 --> 00:43:40,027
ability to decide overall out

1395
00:43:40,477 --> 00:43:40,727
the window and in front of an

1396
00:43:41,144 --> 00:43:41,394
oncoming semi.

1397
00:43:45,711 --> 00:43:45,961
so what are sports event

1398
00:43:46,444 --> 00:43:46,694
contracts which has become the

1399
00:43:47,777 --> 00:43:48,027
focal point of so much

1400
00:43:49,777 --> 00:43:50,027
litigation and debate over the

1401
00:43:51,777 --> 00:43:52,027
last year and a half or so let's

1402
00:43:53,511 --> 00:43:53,761
be clear on one thing

1403
00:43:55,477 --> 00:43:55,727
socalled sports event contracts

1404
00:43:56,277 --> 00:43:56,527
are nothing but sports betting.

1405
00:43:58,244 --> 00:43:58,494
A customer puts money on a

1406
00:44:00,011 --> 00:44:00,261
sports outcome and gets paid if

1407
00:44:01,777 --> 00:44:02,027
they are correct. that's a

1408
00:44:03,777 --> 00:44:04,027
sports bet. there is no economic

1409
00:44:05,511 --> 00:44:05,761
consequence from combining the

1410
00:44:07,511 --> 00:44:07,761
outcome of a March madness game

1411
00:44:08,244 --> 00:44:08,494
and a New York Yankees game.

1412
00:44:09,844 --> 00:44:10,094
that is a sports betting parley

1413
00:44:12,244 --> 00:44:12,494
when they were originally

1414
00:44:13,977 --> 00:44:14,227
created event contracts were

1415
00:44:15,777 --> 00:44:16,027
structured as a derivatives

1416
00:44:17,511 --> 00:44:17,761
contract that pays a person

1417
00:44:18,211 --> 00:44:18,461
based on a specified event or

1418
00:44:19,777 --> 00:44:20,027
occurrence such as a

1419
00:44:21,744 --> 00:44:21,994
macroeconomic indicator

1420
00:44:23,511 --> 00:44:23,761
generally used for hedging

1421
00:44:25,544 --> 00:44:25,794
purposes. They are ostensibly

1422
00:44:27,511 --> 00:44:27,761
regulated as I mentioned earlier

1423
00:44:28,211 --> 00:44:28,461
by the federaleral Commodities

1424
00:44:30,211 --> 00:44:30,461
Futures Trading Commission or or

1425
00:44:33,977 --> 00:44:34,227
the CFTC which bizarrely allows

1426
00:44:35,511 --> 00:44:35,761
designated contract markets such

1427
00:44:37,511 --> 00:44:37,761
as prediction markets to self

1428
00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:40,094
certify that the contracts that

1429
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:40,761
they are offering to the public

1430
00:44:43,511 --> 00:44:43,761
don't violate the commodities

1431
00:44:45,511 --> 00:44:45,761
exchange Act or CFTc

1432
00:44:47,744 --> 00:44:47,994
regulations. I'll say that again

1433
00:44:50,244 --> 00:44:50,494
thecFTc allows prediction market

1434
00:44:52,477 --> 00:44:52,727
platforms to self certify their

1435
00:44:55,511 --> 00:44:55,761
own contracts in markets that

1436
00:44:56,211 --> 00:44:56,461
they're offering to the public

1437
00:44:59,511 --> 00:44:59,761
that they don't violate the CEA

1438
00:45:01,977 --> 00:45:02,227
or CFTC regulations. CFTc

1439
00:45:04,211 --> 00:45:04,461
regulations which by the way

1440
00:45:05,777 --> 00:45:06,027
prohibit event contracts on

1441
00:45:07,511 --> 00:45:07,761
things such as war,

1442
00:45:09,844 --> 00:45:10,094
assassination, gaming or any

1443
00:45:10,511 --> 00:45:10,761
activity that is

1444
00:45:12,144 --> 00:45:12,394
unlawful under state or federal

1445
00:45:12,811 --> 00:45:13,061
law

1446
00:45:15,977 --> 00:45:16,227
the commodities exchange Act was

1447
00:45:17,977 --> 00:45:18,227
updated in 2010 during the

1448
00:45:19,744 --> 00:45:19,994
debate over the Dodd-rank

1449
00:45:22,244 --> 00:45:22,494
financial reform actct which was

1450
00:45:23,777 --> 00:45:24,027
which was passed to combat the

1451
00:45:27,511 --> 00:45:27,761
2008 economic crisis. Absurdly

1452
00:45:28,211 --> 00:45:28,461
according to prediction markets,

1453
00:45:31,477 --> 00:45:31,727
the updated CEA was so clear

1454
00:45:32,277 --> 00:45:32,527
that Congress intended to allow

1455
00:45:34,544 --> 00:45:34,794
sports gambling in all5y states

1456
00:45:37,744 --> 00:45:37,994
that it took1f years for someone

1457
00:45:39,511 --> 00:45:39,761
to realize what Congress had

1458
00:45:41,511 --> 00:45:41,761
done. This obviously defies

1459
00:45:42,344 --> 00:45:42,594
belief. The six year battle to

1460
00:45:43,044 --> 00:45:43,294
overturn Paspa

1461
00:45:45,111 --> 00:45:45,361
and allow the states to

1462
00:45:46,211 --> 00:45:46,461
determine whether or not to

1463
00:45:48,244 --> 00:45:48,494
legalize sports betting occurred

1464
00:45:51,477 --> 00:45:51,727
after the CEA was updated but

1465
00:45:52,211 --> 00:45:52,461
prediction markets would have

1466
00:45:53,777 --> 00:45:54,027
everyone believe in their theory

1467
00:45:55,777 --> 00:45:56,027
that Congress authorized

1468
00:45:57,511 --> 00:45:57,761
nationwide sports gambling as

1469
00:45:59,744 --> 00:45:59,994
they as they are providing now a

1470
00:46:01,677 --> 00:46:01,927
full8 years before Paspa was

1471
00:46:02,344 --> 00:46:02,594
overturned.

1472
00:46:05,711 --> 00:46:05,961
this next this next slide should

1473
00:46:07,944 --> 00:46:08,194
raise some eyebrows with

1474
00:46:09,511 --> 00:46:09,761
everyone. It shows a litany of

1475
00:46:10,277 --> 00:46:10,527
different types of advertising

1476
00:46:12,244 --> 00:46:12,494
from prediction markets to

1477
00:46:14,211 --> 00:46:14,461
Americans where they are clearly

1478
00:46:16,211 --> 00:46:16,461
calling themselves legal sports

1479
00:46:17,977 --> 00:46:18,227
betting including an item in the

1480
00:46:19,744 --> 00:46:19,994
upper right corner showing a

1481
00:46:22,011 --> 00:46:22,261
young paid influencer saying

1482
00:46:23,777 --> 00:46:24,027
that she was able to pay her

1483
00:46:25,744 --> 00:46:25,994
rent after gambling through

1484
00:46:27,977 --> 00:46:28,227
alci. This is the this is the

1485
00:46:29,744 --> 00:46:29,994
message that prediction markets

1486
00:46:31,477 --> 00:46:31,727
are sending to Americans

1487
00:46:32,411 --> 00:46:32,661
including teenagers to the

1488
00:46:32,977 --> 00:46:33,227
courts they

1489
00:46:35,944 --> 00:46:36,194
say we aren't sports gambling to

1490
00:46:37,944 --> 00:46:38,194
the public they willingly admit

1491
00:46:38,611 --> 00:46:38,861
that they are

1492
00:46:42,177 --> 00:46:42,427
so why are sports in particular

1493
00:46:44,011 --> 00:46:44,261
so important to these operators

1494
00:46:45,777 --> 00:46:46,027
so this particular graph shows

1495
00:46:48,277 --> 00:46:48,527
trading volume from 2025

1496
00:46:50,244 --> 00:46:50,494
reported by Calci which reports

1497
00:46:52,277 --> 00:46:52,527
their own data and a portion of

1498
00:46:54,511 --> 00:46:54,761
volume that is in yellow is the

1499
00:46:56,011 --> 00:46:56,261
socalled trading that is

1500
00:46:58,244 --> 00:46:58,494
happening on sports as you can

1501
00:46:59,744 --> 00:46:59,994
see if you go back looking at

1502
00:47:02,277 --> 00:47:02,527
2024 there was no betting on

1503
00:47:04,044 --> 00:47:04,294
sports whatsoever. there was no

1504
00:47:05,977 --> 00:47:06,227
yellow grap yellow in that graph

1505
00:47:08,411 --> 00:47:08,661
in a court filing in 2024

1506
00:47:08,977 --> 00:47:09,227
Kalshy's lawyers admitted

1507
00:47:12,477 --> 00:47:12,727
to a federal district judge that

1508
00:47:14,311 --> 00:47:14,561
the CEA did not intend to allow

1509
00:47:16,277 --> 00:47:16,527
to allow betting on sporting

1510
00:47:17,977 --> 00:47:18,227
events such as the Superowl.

1511
00:47:20,277 --> 00:47:20,527
Once 2025 rolled around they

1512
00:47:22,011 --> 00:47:22,261
reversed their decision and

1513
00:47:24,011 --> 00:47:24,261
unilaterally decided sports

1514
00:47:26,044 --> 00:47:26,294
gambling for everyone on any

1515
00:47:28,044 --> 00:47:28,294
given day gambling on sports and

1516
00:47:30,011 --> 00:47:30,261
sports parleys accounts from

1517
00:47:33,511 --> 00:47:33,761
anywhere between80 to90% of the

1518
00:47:35,477 --> 00:47:35,727
overall volume that is driven on

1519
00:47:36,177 --> 00:47:36,427
prediction markets. These

1520
00:47:38,044 --> 00:47:38,294
platforms are sports books with

1521
00:47:38,777 --> 00:47:39,027
a few other markets on the side

1522
00:47:42,544 --> 00:47:42,794
there is no doubt about that and

1523
00:47:44,011 --> 00:47:44,261
unlike the vast majority of

1524
00:47:45,811 --> 00:47:46,061
legal sports books in the United

1525
00:47:47,511 --> 00:47:47,761
States where the gambling age is

1526
00:47:49,477 --> 00:47:49,727
21 years old on prediction

1527
00:47:51,777 --> 00:47:52,027
markets it's only18. Every

1528
00:47:53,511 --> 00:47:53,761
parent with a senior in high

1529
00:47:54,277 --> 00:47:54,527
school or kids attending college

1530
00:47:55,011 --> 00:47:55,261
should be immensely concerned

1531
00:47:55,711 --> 00:47:55,961
about this

1532
00:47:58,277 --> 00:47:58,527
so what are the main public

1533
00:48:00,244 --> 00:48:00,494
policy concerns well as you can

1534
00:48:01,977 --> 00:48:02,227
see here there's certainly a

1535
00:48:03,777 --> 00:48:04,027
litany of them. first sports

1536
00:48:04,344 --> 00:48:04,594
gambling through prediction

1537
00:48:06,277 --> 00:48:06,527
markets completely undermines

1538
00:48:07,977 --> 00:48:08,227
state and tribal authority over

1539
00:48:09,777 --> 00:48:10,027
gambling regulation which has

1540
00:48:11,511 --> 00:48:11,761
been the purview of the states

1541
00:48:13,477 --> 00:48:13,727
and tribes for decadesstead of

1542
00:48:14,244 --> 00:48:14,494
allowing states to decide what

1543
00:48:16,244 --> 00:48:16,494
if any gambling should be legal.

1544
00:48:17,977 --> 00:48:18,227
these operators are ignoring all

1545
00:48:20,011 --> 00:48:20,261
of it. What the elected

1546
00:48:20,511 --> 00:48:20,761
representatives who serve in

1547
00:48:22,044 --> 00:48:22,294
state legislatures across the

1548
00:48:24,311 --> 00:48:24,561
country want to do is completely

1549
00:48:26,244 --> 00:48:26,494
irrelevant to them. Their

1550
00:48:26,811 --> 00:48:27,061
message to you all and

1551
00:48:29,511 --> 00:48:29,761
other state policymakers is

1552
00:48:31,511 --> 00:48:31,761
crystal clear your gambling

1553
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:33,727
laws, your consumer protection

1554
00:48:35,777 --> 00:48:36,027
laws none of them matter to us

1555
00:48:38,277 --> 00:48:38,527
we're so sorry. Sports gambling

1556
00:48:39,511 --> 00:48:39,761
through prediction markets is

1557
00:48:40,277 --> 00:48:40,527
also clearly diverting tax

1558
00:48:42,244 --> 00:48:42,494
revenue that states use to fund

1559
00:48:44,011 --> 00:48:44,261
important programs which we at

1560
00:48:47,477 --> 00:48:47,727
theagGA estimate to be over1.3

1561
00:48:49,477 --> 00:48:49,727
billion dollars in lost revenue

1562
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:50,761
to the state so far and that is

1563
00:48:52,277 --> 00:48:52,527
very likely an understatement.

1564
00:48:54,011 --> 00:48:54,261
their consumer protections if

1565
00:48:56,111 --> 00:48:56,361
there are any fall far short of

1566
00:48:56,777 --> 00:48:57,027
the protections that states have

1567
00:48:58,311 --> 00:48:58,561
developed over the last eight

1568
00:49:00,011 --> 00:49:00,261
years and as I mentioned

1569
00:49:01,977 --> 00:49:02,227
previously they allow anyone

1570
00:49:03,977 --> 00:49:04,227
eight years of age or older to

1571
00:49:05,744 --> 00:49:05,994
gamble on their sites and are

1572
00:49:07,477 --> 00:49:07,727
marketing to Americans that

1573
00:49:08,477 --> 00:49:08,727
these contracts are financial

1574
00:49:10,277 --> 00:49:10,527
investments not a form of

1575
00:49:11,777 --> 00:49:12,027
entertainment which is an

1576
00:49:13,744 --> 00:49:13,994
enormous risk to people

1577
00:49:15,511 --> 00:49:15,761
especially young men changing

1578
00:49:16,277 --> 00:49:16,527
that messaging from being a form

1579
00:49:19,511 --> 00:49:19,761
of entertainment to a financial

1580
00:49:20,111 --> 00:49:20,361
investment that should become

1581
00:49:21,511 --> 00:49:21,761
just as much a part of your

1582
00:49:24,277 --> 00:49:24,527
financial portfolio as your401k

1583
00:49:26,111 --> 00:49:26,361
is absurd. The legal sports

1584
00:49:26,711 --> 00:49:26,961
betting industry market

1585
00:49:28,277 --> 00:49:28,527
sports betting as a form of

1586
00:49:30,011 --> 00:49:30,261
entertainment that should be

1587
00:49:32,011 --> 00:49:32,261
done so responsibly and provides

1588
00:49:34,011 --> 00:49:34,261
the tools to do so. Prediction

1589
00:49:35,744 --> 00:49:35,994
markets advertise to teenagers

1590
00:49:37,544 --> 00:49:37,794
and young people that instead of

1591
00:49:39,511 --> 00:49:39,761
saving to buy a car or books for

1592
00:49:41,511 --> 00:49:41,761
their college class that this is

1593
00:49:42,244 --> 00:49:42,494
a financial investment that they

1594
00:49:44,244 --> 00:49:44,494
instead should invest that money

1595
00:49:46,277 --> 00:49:46,527
in a thirteenle parlay which as

1596
00:49:48,011 --> 00:49:48,261
the previous advertising

1597
00:49:50,244 --> 00:49:50,494
demonstrated could or it with a

1598
00:49:53,777 --> 00:49:54,027
plus800% odds could pay your

1599
00:49:55,777 --> 00:49:56,027
rent that's the type of people

1600
00:49:56,477 --> 00:49:56,727
that we're dealing with and of

1601
00:49:57,144 --> 00:49:57,394
course

1602
00:49:59,511 --> 00:49:59,761
this activity does conflict with

1603
00:50:00,244 --> 00:50:00,494
other federal laws such as

1604
00:50:01,844 --> 00:50:02,094
theyre Act and the gaming

1605
00:50:02,444 --> 00:50:02,694
Regulatory Act.

1606
00:50:05,744 --> 00:50:05,994
so what does the legal landscape

1607
00:50:07,511 --> 00:50:07,761
look like across the country so

1608
00:50:09,944 --> 00:50:10,194
far so as you can see here 21

1609
00:50:11,977 --> 00:50:12,227
states are in active federal and

1610
00:50:13,511 --> 00:50:13,761
state litigation against

1611
00:50:15,477 --> 00:50:15,727
prediction markets to prevent

1612
00:50:16,077 --> 00:50:16,327
them from offering sports

1613
00:50:17,711 --> 00:50:17,961
gambling without being regulated

1614
00:50:20,011 --> 00:50:20,261
by the state so far 9 federal

1615
00:50:21,744 --> 00:50:21,994
courts of appeals have pending

1616
00:50:23,744 --> 00:50:23,994
cases which means that this

1617
00:50:25,544 --> 00:50:25,794
entire issue is very likely to

1618
00:50:26,244 --> 00:50:26,494
make its way up to the United

1619
00:50:27,977 --> 00:50:28,227
States Supreme Court next year

1620
00:50:29,544 --> 00:50:29,794
and I will also note that as you

1621
00:50:31,777 --> 00:50:32,027
can tell on this map this is a

1622
00:50:32,444 --> 00:50:32,694
very bipartisan issue this is

1623
00:50:33,111 --> 00:50:33,361
these are

1624
00:50:35,611 --> 00:50:35,861
both democratic and Republican

1625
00:50:36,377 --> 00:50:36,627
attorneys general that are

1626
00:50:37,844 --> 00:50:38,094
fighting this federal overreach

1627
00:50:38,511 --> 00:50:38,761
in court.

1628
00:50:42,311 --> 00:50:42,561
Additionally,10 states including

1629
00:50:43,977 --> 00:50:44,227
the state of Nevada have sued

1630
00:50:45,511 --> 00:50:45,761
prediction markets in state

1631
00:50:46,244 --> 00:50:46,494
court and Nevada has been one of

1632
00:50:48,011 --> 00:50:48,261
the successful states to kick

1633
00:50:49,744 --> 00:50:49,994
prediction markets out of the

1634
00:50:51,544 --> 00:50:51,794
state to prevent them from offer

1635
00:50:53,511 --> 00:50:53,761
from offering illegal sports

1636
00:50:54,244 --> 00:50:54,494
gambling. This is the most

1637
00:50:56,277 --> 00:50:56,527
effective way until the supreme

1638
00:50:58,044 --> 00:50:58,294
court decides on the legality of

1639
00:50:59,777 --> 00:51:00,027
all of this how to protect your

1640
00:51:01,744 --> 00:51:01,994
citizens is to sue these

1641
00:51:03,511 --> 00:51:03,761
prediction markets in state

1642
00:51:05,511 --> 00:51:05,761
court this is an effort by

1643
00:51:06,144 --> 00:51:06,394
Chairman Dreitzer and General

1644
00:51:07,511 --> 00:51:07,761
Ford that should be applauded

1645
00:51:08,711 --> 00:51:08,961
and followed by other states to

1646
00:51:09,377 --> 00:51:09,627
protect their citizens

1647
00:51:11,977 --> 00:51:12,227
Furthermore, when the CFTC's

1648
00:51:13,744 --> 00:51:13,994
loan commissioner testified

1649
00:51:15,477 --> 00:51:15,727
before Congress last year during

1650
00:51:17,511 --> 00:51:17,761
his confirmation hearing he

1651
00:51:18,244 --> 00:51:18,494
pledged when asked by senators

1652
00:51:19,977 --> 00:51:20,227
that he would leave the legality

1653
00:51:22,244 --> 00:51:22,494
of sports event contracts up to

1654
00:51:24,011 --> 00:51:24,261
the courts. However, after he

1655
00:51:25,977 --> 00:51:26,227
was confirmed, Chairmanelig

1656
00:51:28,211 --> 00:51:28,461
reversed himself and the CFTc

1657
00:51:31,477 --> 00:51:31,727
has now actively sued states in

1658
00:51:33,744 --> 00:51:33,994
federal court in10 different

1659
00:51:34,544 --> 00:51:34,794
in10 different states on the

1660
00:51:35,777 --> 00:51:36,027
other side as I mentioned

1661
00:51:38,344 --> 00:51:38,594
earlier we have44 bipartisan

1662
00:51:38,977 --> 00:51:39,227
state attorneys general that

1663
00:51:39,644 --> 00:51:39,894
have gone

1664
00:51:41,811 --> 00:51:42,061
on the record opposing sports

1665
00:51:42,411 --> 00:51:42,661
gambling through prediction

1666
00:51:45,511 --> 00:51:45,761
markets which in 2026 is an

1667
00:51:47,477 --> 00:51:47,727
unbelievable feat and we've also

1668
00:51:49,477 --> 00:51:49,727
seen legislation to attempt to

1669
00:51:51,511 --> 00:51:51,761
deal with this issue be

1670
00:51:52,544 --> 00:51:52,794
introduced in se7 different

1671
00:51:53,944 --> 00:51:54,194
states so far throughout2026.

1672
00:51:58,277 --> 00:51:58,527
to wrap things up there's a

1673
00:51:59,744 --> 00:51:59,994
number of things that state

1674
00:52:01,777 --> 00:52:02,027
legislators can do to help wage

1675
00:52:02,411 --> 00:52:02,661
this battle from pressing your

1676
00:52:03,977 --> 00:52:04,227
members of Congress to deal with

1677
00:52:05,977 --> 00:52:06,227
this at the federal level and

1678
00:52:06,611 --> 00:52:06,861
protect states' rights to

1679
00:52:08,277 --> 00:52:08,527
adopting state resolutions

1680
00:52:10,244 --> 00:52:10,494
working and urging your governor

1681
00:52:12,011 --> 00:52:12,261
to increase coordination with

1682
00:52:13,744 --> 00:52:13,994
federal and state partners

1683
00:52:15,511 --> 00:52:15,761
supporting your attorney general

1684
00:52:16,244 --> 00:52:16,494
to take enforcement action and

1685
00:52:18,244 --> 00:52:18,494
advancing legislation clarifying

1686
00:52:19,511 --> 00:52:19,761
that sports gambling through

1687
00:52:21,511 --> 00:52:21,761
prediction markets is illegal.

1688
00:52:23,511 --> 00:52:23,761
Nevada has already done many of

1689
00:52:24,311 --> 00:52:24,561
these things and again I commend

1690
00:52:25,777 --> 00:52:26,027
all the public officials for

1691
00:52:26,411 --> 00:52:26,661
taking the fight straight to

1692
00:52:26,944 --> 00:52:27,194
these ro

1693
00:52:29,477 --> 00:52:29,727
gue actors but in discussions

1694
00:52:31,511 --> 00:52:31,761
with your fellow legislators in

1695
00:52:33,511 --> 00:52:33,761
other states educating them on

1696
00:52:35,477 --> 00:52:35,727
this issue is imperative and the

1697
00:52:36,711 --> 00:52:36,961
AGA stands ready to be a

1698
00:52:37,244 --> 00:52:37,494
resource for anything that you

1699
00:52:37,911 --> 00:52:38,161
may need.

1700
00:52:40,211 --> 00:52:40,461
I've taken up a lot of time

1701
00:52:41,511 --> 00:52:41,761
already and I want to to get

1702
00:52:42,244 --> 00:52:42,494
things over to Chairman Dreitzer

1703
00:52:43,977 --> 00:52:44,227
but I'll conclude with this

1704
00:52:45,977 --> 00:52:46,227
Congressional intent was clear

1705
00:52:47,744 --> 00:52:47,994
sports betting should not be

1706
00:52:50,211 --> 00:52:50,461
traded on financial markets. I

1707
00:52:52,411 --> 00:52:52,661
know it you know it and Calhy's

1708
00:52:54,011 --> 00:52:54,261
lawyers made clear in federal

1709
00:52:54,644 --> 00:52:54,894
court that they know it too

1710
00:52:58,244 --> 00:52:58,494
this is my contact information

1711
00:52:59,777 --> 00:53:00,027
and I thank you for your time

1712
00:53:01,744 --> 00:53:01,994
and your efforts this is a

1713
00:53:03,511 --> 00:53:03,761
critical issue to the survival

1714
00:53:04,244 --> 00:53:04,494
of the legal gaming industry as

1715
00:53:06,277 --> 00:53:06,527
we know it and we cannot let

1716
00:53:08,244 --> 00:53:08,494
relax until it's resolved. So

1717

1723
00:53:18,311 --> 00:53:18,561
before we get to Chairman

Dreitzer assemblywoman anderson

1725
00:53:23,744 --> 00:53:23,994
has a question for you and then

1726
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:25,994
we have another question thank

00:53:27,711 --> 00:53:27,961
you chair and thank you so much

1728
00:53:29,711 --> 00:53:29,961
Mr York for your

1729
00:53:31,711 --> 00:53:31,961
presentation. I'm loving your

1730
00:53:34,011 --> 00:53:34,261
passion on this subject is

1731
00:53:36,244 --> 00:53:36,494
besides educating legislators is

1732
00:53:37,977 --> 00:53:38,227
there any sort of education

1733
00:53:38,577 --> 00:53:38,827
going on from your organization

1734
00:53:39,211 --> 00:53:39,461
to the public.

1735
00:53:42,644 --> 00:53:42,894
especially when individuals

1736
00:53:43,244 --> 00:53:43,494
under the age of 21.

1737
00:53:47,511 --> 00:53:47,761
we we certainly are there we

1738
00:53:48,144 --> 00:53:48,394
there are a number of public

1739
00:53:50,011 --> 00:53:50,261
relations campaigns going on and

1740
00:53:51,744 --> 00:53:51,994
we also have been working very

1741
00:53:53,477 --> 00:53:53,727
closely with gaming regulators

1742
00:53:54,511 --> 00:53:54,761
to try to make sure that the

1743
00:53:55,777 --> 00:53:56,027
difference between these

1744
00:53:57,511 --> 00:53:57,761
prediction markets and legal

1745
00:53:59,511 --> 00:53:59,761
sports betting options is

1746
00:54:00,277 --> 00:54:00,527
delineated to the to the

1747
00:54:02,277 --> 00:54:02,527
greatest extent that we can

1748
00:54:04,244 --> 00:54:04,494
unfortunately prediction markets

1749
00:54:05,977 --> 00:54:06,227
have been spending hundreds of

1750
00:54:06,611 --> 00:54:06,861
millions of dollars in

1751
00:54:08,011 --> 00:54:08,261
advertising both through

1752
00:54:10,011 --> 00:54:10,261
through advertising on the

1753
00:54:12,011 --> 00:54:12,261
internet and social media

1754
00:54:13,844 --> 00:54:14,094
directly to young people and

1755
00:54:14,511 --> 00:54:14,761
many of the

1756
00:54:16,311 --> 00:54:16,561
advertising that would never be

1757
00:54:18,244 --> 00:54:18,494
authorized by any state for

1758
00:54:20,244 --> 00:54:20,494
example there has been reporting

1759
00:54:22,244 --> 00:54:22,494
of prediction market platforms

1760
00:54:24,511 --> 00:54:24,761
going to fraternities on college

1761
00:54:27,511 --> 00:54:27,761
campuses and paying fraternity

1762
00:54:29,511 --> 00:54:29,761
brothers to to to

1763
00:54:30,277 --> 00:54:30,527
participate in recruiting their

1764
00:54:33,477 --> 00:54:33,727
fellow their fellow students to

1765
00:54:35,744 --> 00:54:35,994
to sign up and and and gamble

1766
00:54:36,511 --> 00:54:36,761
on these prediction market sites

1767
00:54:38,044 --> 00:54:38,294
and the more that the mores of

1768
00:54:39,777 --> 00:54:40,027
their fellow students they that

1769
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:41,761
they get signed up the more

1770
00:54:42,311 --> 00:54:42,561
money that they get paid a lot

1771
00:54:43,844 --> 00:54:44,094
of the influencers that they

1772
00:54:44,444 --> 00:54:44,694
have been

1773
00:54:47,477 --> 00:54:47,727
that they have been paying to to

1774
00:54:49,511 --> 00:54:49,761
advertise online have have been

1775
00:54:51,744 --> 00:54:51,994
found to be under the age of 18

1776
00:54:54,011 --> 00:54:54,261
and so this obviously again

1777
00:54:56,011 --> 00:54:56,261
would never be allowed in states

1778
00:54:57,744 --> 00:54:57,994
it's it's completely

1779
00:54:59,744 --> 00:54:59,994
preposterous that they're even

1780
00:55:01,511 --> 00:55:01,761
allowed to do this and I

1781
00:55:02,244 --> 00:55:02,494
think it clearly shows you the

1782
00:55:03,977 --> 00:55:04,227
type of quote unquote regulation

1783
00:55:06,244 --> 00:55:06,494
that is going on right now which

1784
00:55:07,511 --> 00:55:07,761
is very little and so it's a

1785
00:55:08,277 --> 00:55:08,527
major concern of ours we are

1786
00:55:10,277 --> 00:55:10,527
doing our best to try to push

1787
00:55:12,011 --> 00:55:12,261
back and make sure that not just

1788
00:55:13,844 --> 00:55:14,094
not just not just the students

1789
00:55:14,511 --> 00:55:14,761
but also parents

1790
00:55:16,244 --> 00:55:16,494
and teachers and folks that have

1791
00:55:19,577 --> 00:55:19,827
a real influence over over you

1792
00:55:20,377 --> 00:55:20,627
know seniors in high school and

1793
00:55:22,011 --> 00:55:22,261
young college kids that they

1794
00:55:24,011 --> 00:55:24,261
also know the threat that

1795
00:55:25,544 --> 00:55:25,794
these that these platforms play

1796
00:55:26,244 --> 00:55:26,494
and so we're trying to kind of

1797
00:55:28,244 --> 00:55:28,494
do in all of the above approach

1798
00:55:29,744 --> 00:55:29,994
to make sure that everyone has

1799
00:55:32,011 --> 00:55:32,261
the necessary has the

1800
00:55:33,977 --> 00:55:34,227
necessary information and make

1801
00:55:35,477 --> 00:55:35,727
sure that it gets down to those

1802
00:55:36,244 --> 00:55:36,494
young kids because on the other

1803
00:55:38,011 --> 00:55:38,261
side they're again is hundreds

1804
00:55:39,811 --> 00:55:40,061
of millions of dollars being

1805
00:55:41,511 --> 00:55:41,761
spent in all of the channels

1806
00:55:43,744 --> 00:55:43,994
that these young people use

1807
00:55:44,277 --> 00:55:44,527
to try to get them to do the

1808
00:55:44,844 --> 00:55:45,094
opposite

1809
00:55:47,811 --> 00:55:48,061
Thank you. Follow up chair

1810
00:55:51,511 --> 00:55:51,761
thank you so much thank you for

1811
00:55:52,177 --> 00:55:52,427
that answer. great hearing it.

1812
00:55:54,177 --> 00:55:54,427
not happy to hear that there's

1813
00:55:56,411 --> 00:55:56,661
individuals literally getting

1814
00:55:57,944 --> 00:55:58,194
other people to join these

1815
00:55:58,511 --> 00:55:58,761
markets.

1816
00:56:02,011 --> 00:56:02,261
so the nevada gaming

1817
00:56:03,744 --> 00:56:03,994
commission this might actually

1818
00:56:04,444 --> 00:56:04,694
be more be more appropriate for

1819
00:56:06,211 --> 00:56:06,461
the next individual, but the

1820
00:56:09,711 --> 00:56:09,961
nevada casinos they have given

1821
00:56:11,977 --> 00:56:12,227
money to help our gays anonymous

1822
00:56:13,711 --> 00:56:13,961
or gamblers anonymous and other

1823
00:56:17,511 --> 00:56:17,761
mental health areas to allow

1824
00:56:19,511 --> 00:56:19,761
for more education around the

1825
00:56:21,544 --> 00:56:21,794
dangers of gambling and

1826
00:56:22,011 --> 00:56:22,261
especially when you become

1827
00:56:23,777 --> 00:56:24,027
addicted to it do you know of

1828
00:56:25,511 --> 00:56:25,761
any of the current corporations

1829
00:56:27,511 --> 00:56:27,761
that are utilizing this this

1830
00:56:28,177 --> 00:56:28,427
form of online gaming are any of

1831
00:56:28,844 --> 00:56:29,094
those

1832
00:56:32,244 --> 00:56:32,494
giving money to any of the

1833
00:56:34,244 --> 00:56:34,494
Gamblers anonymous and or ways

1834
00:56:35,844 --> 00:56:36,094
to help people that do become

1835
00:56:36,477 --> 00:56:36,727
addicted to gaming.

1836
00:56:38,011 --> 00:56:38,261
to gambling

1837
00:56:40,244 --> 00:56:40,494
so I can't I can't tell you that

1838
00:56:42,277 --> 00:56:42,527
there's a there's a there's a

1839
00:56:45,511 --> 00:56:45,761
national group called NcPg which

1840
00:56:46,244 --> 00:56:46,494
is National Council for problem

1841
00:56:49,744 --> 00:56:49,994
Gamblers and they recently took

1842
00:56:52,011 --> 00:56:52,261
an astonishing $2 million from

1843
00:56:53,777 --> 00:56:54,027
the prediction market operator

1844
00:56:55,744 --> 00:56:55,994
Calie to essentially become some

1845
00:56:59,711 --> 00:56:59,961
part of Ncpg and even though

1846
00:57:02,011 --> 00:57:02,261
clearly we all believe that that

1847
00:57:03,511 --> 00:57:03,761
what alci is offering is

1848
00:57:05,511 --> 00:57:05,761
unquestionably gambling Ncpg

1849
00:57:06,077 --> 00:57:06,327
created some kind of financial

1850
00:57:10,011 --> 00:57:10,261
carveout that allowed them to

1851
00:57:12,011 --> 00:57:12,261
to join the organization in my

1852
00:57:13,977 --> 00:57:14,227
view purely from a pr standpoint

1853
00:57:15,777 --> 00:57:16,027
to try to make themselves look

1854
00:57:17,744 --> 00:57:17,994
good which also resulted in the

1855
00:57:19,744 --> 00:57:19,994
Michiganaming Controlboardard

1856
00:57:21,744 --> 00:57:21,994
leaving NCpg in protest and I

1857
00:57:24,277 --> 00:57:24,527
believe I believe there's

1858
00:57:25,744 --> 00:57:25,994
there's an organization I'm not

1859
00:57:26,377 --> 00:57:26,627
I wasn't sure if it's the gaming

1860
00:57:28,011 --> 00:57:28,261
control board but one of the

1861
00:57:29,477 --> 00:57:29,727
organizations in Nevada maybe it

1862
00:57:31,477 --> 00:57:31,727
was the Nevada chapter that also

1863
00:57:34,044 --> 00:57:34,294
ended up leaving NCpg in protest

1864
00:57:35,844 --> 00:57:36,094
of that move because they should

1865
00:57:36,544 --> 00:57:36,794
not be recognized as

1866
00:57:38,244 --> 00:57:38,494
anything other than what they

1867
00:57:41,744 --> 00:57:41,994
are which is gambling and

1868
00:57:44,011 --> 00:57:44,261
largely again as as a as a as an

1869
00:57:45,777 --> 00:57:46,027
industry writ large prediction

1870
00:57:47,477 --> 00:57:47,727
markets do not have any kind of

1871
00:57:48,277 --> 00:57:48,527
the comprehensive responsible

1872
00:57:50,477 --> 00:57:50,727
gaming protocols that the that

1873
00:57:52,011 --> 00:57:52,261
the legal licensed state

1874
00:57:53,644 --> 00:57:53,894
regulated sports betting

1875
00:57:54,211 --> 00:57:54,461
industry does.

1876
00:57:56,811 --> 00:57:57,061
thank you so much and thank you

1877
00:57:57,477 --> 00:57:57,727
chairir for that time.

1878
00:58:01,711 --> 00:58:01,961
thank you assemblywoman

1879
00:58:03,711 --> 00:58:03,961
backcchus thank you so much

1880
00:58:05,711 --> 00:58:05,961
madam chairir. I I kind have two

1881
00:58:08,244 --> 00:58:08,494
lines of questioning one I

1882
00:58:11,711 --> 00:58:11,961
was very interested in the the

1883
00:58:13,511 --> 00:58:13,761
reverse suits that are happening

1884
00:58:15,511 --> 00:58:15,761
where the states are being

1885
00:58:17,511 --> 00:58:17,761
sued and federal government and

1886
00:58:19,511 --> 00:58:19,761
I was trying to take a look at

1887
00:58:20,311 --> 00:58:20,561
in my mind I thought it was

1888
00:58:22,011 --> 00:58:22,261
probably for declaratory relief

1889
00:58:23,744 --> 00:58:23,994
like if a state was going to

1890
00:58:26,244 --> 00:58:26,494
implement a law or to deem I

1891
00:58:28,311 --> 00:58:28,561
guess a lot in violation of

1892
00:58:28,877 --> 00:58:29,127
federal law something along

1893
00:58:31,544 --> 00:58:31,794
those lines and so when I was

1894
00:58:32,277 --> 00:58:32,527
trying to match everything up if

1895
00:58:34,011 --> 00:58:34,261
you could kind of elaborate I'm

1896
00:58:36,244 --> 00:58:36,494
just kind of curious like

1897
00:58:38,211 --> 00:58:38,461
what those suits are on like a

1898
00:58:40,211 --> 00:58:40,461
high level like arizona didn't

1899
00:58:42,477 --> 00:58:42,727
look like they had any in

1900
00:58:44,011 --> 00:58:44,261
introduced legislation so I'm

1901
00:58:45,744 --> 00:58:45,994
trying to kind of figure out

1902
00:58:47,677 --> 00:58:47,927
what the basis of the lawsuits

1903
00:58:48,377 --> 00:58:48,627
are.

1904
00:58:51,511 --> 00:58:51,761
sure so that that is a great

1905
00:58:52,244 --> 00:58:52,494
question and I appreciate you

1906
00:58:53,944 --> 00:58:54,194
for asking it so the the answer

1907
00:58:56,011 --> 00:58:56,261
is is that it it varies from

1908
00:58:57,744 --> 00:58:57,994
state to state so there have

1909
00:58:59,977 --> 00:59:00,227
been some instances for example

1910
00:59:01,977 --> 00:59:02,227
Minnesota is a good is a good

1911
00:59:03,711 --> 00:59:03,961
example as well as Kentucky

1912
00:59:05,711 --> 00:59:05,961
where the legislature passed

1913
00:59:07,511 --> 00:59:07,761
legislation that attempted to

1914
00:59:08,244 --> 00:59:08,494
regulate and tax these

1915
00:59:11,511 --> 00:59:11,761
prediction market platforms at

1916
00:59:12,244 --> 00:59:12,494
some level or another in

1917
00:59:13,977 --> 00:59:14,227
Minnesota they attempted to ban

1918
00:59:15,977 --> 00:59:16,227
them entirely in Kentucky they

1919
00:59:17,744 --> 00:59:17,994
basically said you're operating

1920
00:59:18,377 --> 00:59:18,627
illegally but until this is all

1921
00:59:19,077 --> 00:59:19,327
res

1922
00:59:19,944 --> 00:59:20,194
ol ve d we're going to tax you

1923
00:59:23,477 --> 00:59:23,727
at a14.25% tax rate both of

1924
00:59:25,511 --> 00:59:25,761
those states ended up being sued

1925
00:59:27,511 --> 00:59:27,761
by the prediction markets in

1926
00:59:28,211 --> 00:59:28,461
state court in this in the case

1927
00:59:31,477 --> 00:59:31,727
of Minnesota thecFTc also sued

1928
00:59:33,711 --> 00:59:33,961
them and in the the the case of

1929
00:59:35,744 --> 00:59:35,994
Kentucky attorney General

1930
00:59:36,444 --> 00:59:36,694
Coleman actually sued the

1931
00:59:37,977 --> 00:59:38,227
prediction markets right back in

1932
00:59:39,977 --> 00:59:40,227
Kentucky state court and many of

1933
00:59:41,777 --> 00:59:42,027
the other cases you mentioned

1934
00:59:43,744 --> 00:59:43,994
arizona the Arizona attorney

1935
00:59:44,344 --> 00:59:44,594
general actually brought

1936
00:59:47,777 --> 00:59:48,027
criminal charges against against

1937
00:59:48,511 --> 00:59:48,761
Kalshi in their litigation

1938
00:59:51,711 --> 00:59:51,961
which was not again prompted

1939
00:59:53,711 --> 00:59:53,961
by any state legislation it was

1940
00:59:54,411 --> 00:59:54,661
based on an investigation that

1941
00:59:55,977 --> 00:59:56,227
they had done and the and the

1942
00:59:57,977 --> 00:59:58,227
violation of their state laws as

1943
00:59:59,711 --> 00:59:59,961
they saw it there have also been

1944
01:00:01,711 --> 01:00:01,961
other there have also been

1945
01:00:03,711 --> 01:00:03,961
other instances for example in

1946
01:00:06,444 --> 01:00:06,694
Iowa and in Utah where there has

1947
01:00:08,011 --> 01:00:08,261
been no legislation that has

1948
01:00:09,977 --> 01:00:10,227
been passed. there has been no

1949
01:00:12,244 --> 01:00:12,494
enforcement action taken by the

1950
01:00:13,777 --> 01:00:14,027
attorney general but the

1951
01:00:15,511 --> 01:00:15,761
prediction markets have gone and

1952
01:00:16,244 --> 01:00:16,494
met with the attorney general's

1953
01:00:18,144 --> 01:00:18,394
office and asked them a question

1954
01:00:18,811 --> 01:00:19,061
that every single

1955
01:00:20,211 --> 01:00:20,461
attorney general in the United

1956
01:00:21,744 --> 01:00:21,994
States of America would

1957
01:00:23,777 --> 01:00:24,027
unequivocally answer the same

1958
01:00:25,744 --> 01:00:25,994
way which was do you plan on

1959
01:00:27,977 --> 01:00:28,227
taking any enforcement action

1960
01:00:29,711 --> 01:00:29,961
against us that was the question

1961
01:00:31,744 --> 01:00:31,994
posited to both of those As and

1962
01:00:34,211 --> 01:00:34,461
they said as every A in this

1963
01:00:36,211 --> 01:00:36,461
country would say we cannot tell

1964
01:00:37,777 --> 01:00:38,027
you what kind of action we are

1965
01:00:40,011 --> 01:00:40,261
or are not contemplating. that

1966
01:00:41,977 --> 01:00:42,227
was enough to get them sued in

1967
01:00:43,744 --> 01:00:43,994
federal court by the prediction

1968
01:00:45,977 --> 01:00:46,227
markets not saying no we won't

1969
01:00:47,744 --> 01:00:47,994
take action against you that's

1970
01:00:48,344 --> 01:00:48,594
how absurd a lot of this has

1971
01:00:49,011 --> 01:00:49,261
gotten

1972
01:00:49,944 --> 01:00:50,194
and then of course

1973
01:00:53,511 --> 01:00:53,761
some of it is just based on

1974
01:00:56,011 --> 01:00:56,261
public comments AGagG brown

1975
01:00:58,244 --> 01:00:58,494
and and and governor Cox in in

1976
01:01:01,477 --> 01:01:01,727
Utah made strong statements but

1977
01:01:02,244 --> 01:01:02,494
again no no actual legal

1978
01:01:04,244 --> 01:01:04,494
enforcement action to that date

1979
01:01:06,244 --> 01:01:06,494
and that got them sued so this

1980
01:01:07,777 --> 01:01:08,027
is the type of landscape

1981
01:01:09,511 --> 01:01:09,761
unfortunately that we're dealing

1982
01:01:11,744 --> 01:01:11,994
with sometimes the the lawsuits

1983
01:01:14,011 --> 01:01:14,261
start with litigation sometimes

1984
01:01:16,011 --> 01:01:16,261
they sometimes they start by

1985
01:01:18,244 --> 01:01:18,494
just an investigation into the

1986
01:01:19,911 --> 01:01:20,161
into the products and the

1987
01:01:20,477 --> 01:01:20,727
operations by predi

1988
01:01:22,244 --> 01:01:22,494
ction markets that that

1989
01:01:24,477 --> 01:01:24,727
generates organically fromagG's

1990
01:01:25,777 --> 01:01:26,027
offices for example in

1991
01:01:27,477 --> 01:01:27,727
massachusetts they were the

1992
01:01:29,744 --> 01:01:29,994
first state to sue prediction

1993
01:01:31,477 --> 01:01:31,727
markets in state court and that

1994
01:01:32,244 --> 01:01:32,494
was just again based on an

1995
01:01:34,011 --> 01:01:34,261
investigation that they did into

1996
01:01:36,244 --> 01:01:36,494
the laws that they believed that

1997
01:01:37,511 --> 01:01:37,761
prediction markets were

1998
01:01:38,211 --> 01:01:38,461
violating and then in other

1999
01:01:39,977 --> 01:01:40,227
cases again you have you have

2000
01:01:41,977 --> 01:01:42,227
litigation being started by the

2001
01:01:43,711 --> 01:01:43,961
prediction market companies

2002
01:01:46,011 --> 01:01:46,261
simply because anagG has said we

2003
01:01:47,744 --> 01:01:47,994
we will we cannot confirm or

2004
01:01:49,844 --> 01:01:50,094
deny what we plan on doing which

2005
01:01:50,511 --> 01:01:50,761
again every

2006
01:01:52,211 --> 01:01:52,461
ag G in this country would have

2007
01:01:53,944 --> 01:01:54,194
answered the exact same way and

2008
01:01:55,511 --> 01:01:55,761
so that's the type of litigious

2009
01:01:57,777 --> 01:01:58,027
nonsense that unfortunately that

2010
01:02:00,011 --> 01:02:00,261
that we're dealing with and they

2011
01:02:02,011 --> 01:02:02,261
they are trying to take they are

2012
01:02:03,977 --> 01:02:04,227
trying to take advantage of a

2013
01:02:06,244 --> 01:02:06,494
moment in time but at this

2014
01:02:08,011 --> 01:02:08,261
point in the game there have

2015
01:02:09,977 --> 01:02:10,227
been37 different

2016
01:02:13,477 --> 01:02:13,727
federal and state rulings that

2017
01:02:15,744 --> 01:02:15,994
have been issued both by federal

2018
01:02:17,511 --> 01:02:17,761
and state judges across the

2019
01:02:19,544 --> 01:02:19,794
country many in the same states

2020
01:02:20,177 --> 01:02:20,427
met multiple in the state of

2021
01:02:20,877 --> 01:02:21,127
Nevada

2022
01:02:23,711 --> 01:02:23,961
and the states have won31 out of

2023
01:02:25,511 --> 01:02:25,761
those37. so we're batting with

2024
01:02:27,777 --> 01:02:28,027
an84% winning percentage right

2025
01:02:29,777 --> 01:02:30,027
now and I think that's and think

2026
01:02:31,777 --> 01:02:32,027
that's pretty good and and

2027
01:02:32,611 --> 01:02:32,861
and I hope that I hope that

2028
01:02:33,177 --> 01:02:33,427
that continues.

2029
01:02:37,711 --> 01:02:37,961
can't help but make the joke

2030
01:02:39,711 --> 01:02:39,961
that obviously it sounds like if

2031
01:02:40,411 --> 01:02:40,661
I was on the prediction market

2032
01:02:41,977 --> 01:02:42,227
I'd be betting for the states so

2033
01:02:44,244 --> 01:02:44,494
that's kind of interesting

2034
01:02:45,844 --> 01:02:46,094
another thing I noted you know

2035
01:02:47,744 --> 01:02:47,994
it sounds like some of these

2036
01:02:49,511 --> 01:02:49,761
cases aren't ripe and they

2037
01:02:51,711 --> 01:02:51,961
jumped ahead my other question

2038
01:02:55,744 --> 01:02:55,994
pertained to the I know

2039
01:02:57,944 --> 01:02:58,194
you put a amount of economic

2040
01:03:01,777 --> 01:03:02,027
development that is being lost

2041
01:03:03,744 --> 01:03:03,994
due to the situation and I

2042
01:03:04,344 --> 01:03:04,594
don't know if you have any

2043
01:03:05,944 --> 01:03:06,194
charts I know that's economic

2044
01:03:08,111 --> 01:03:08,361
impact of328 billion dollars

2045
01:03:13,477 --> 01:03:13,727
and I guess you do have the tax

2046
01:03:15,977 --> 01:03:16,227
impact of being52.7 billion do

2047
01:03:16,577 --> 01:03:16,827
you have any idea if broken up

2048
01:03:17,977 --> 01:03:18,227
by states like potentially what

2049
01:03:19,944 --> 01:03:20,194
the state of Nevada is losing

2050
01:03:20,677 --> 01:03:20,927
due to these markets.

2051
01:03:25,511 --> 01:03:25,761
should should I should clarify

2052
01:03:26,244 --> 01:03:26,494
thatt those figures that

2053
01:03:27,977 --> 01:03:28,227
you're quoting are is actually

2054
01:03:29,711 --> 01:03:29,961
the economic impact that the

2055
01:03:32,011 --> 01:03:32,261
legal gaming industry provides

2056
01:03:35,477 --> 01:03:35,727
nationwide to to to the

2057
01:03:36,211 --> 01:03:36,461
states that they're active in so

2058
01:03:37,777 --> 01:03:38,027
the the the members that are

2059
01:03:40,011 --> 01:03:40,261
located in Nevada that theagGA

2060
01:03:42,011 --> 01:03:42,261
represents that's the amount of

2061
01:03:44,277 --> 01:03:44,527
of tax revenue and economic

2062
01:03:46,011 --> 01:03:46,261
impact that the legal industry

2063
01:03:48,244 --> 01:03:48,494
is generating which is which

2064
01:03:49,744 --> 01:03:49,994
has the potential to be

2065
01:03:51,644 --> 01:03:51,894
undermined by the prediction

2066
01:03:52,211 --> 01:03:52,461
markets and

2067
01:03:53,977 --> 01:03:54,227
I mentioned a little bit later

2068
01:03:54,577 --> 01:03:54,827
in the presentation I'm sorry if

2069
01:03:56,244 --> 01:03:56,494
that wasn't clear that that

2070
01:03:57,744 --> 01:03:57,994
the prediction markets we

2071
01:03:59,744 --> 01:03:59,994
estimate I believe somewhat

2072
01:04:01,977 --> 01:04:02,227
conservatively that states have

2073
01:04:05,744 --> 01:04:05,994
lost over1.3 billion dollars in

2074
01:04:06,477 --> 01:04:06,727
tax revenue that is being

2075
01:04:08,011 --> 01:04:08,261
siphoned away because of these

2076
01:04:10,011 --> 01:04:10,261
prediction market activities

2077
01:04:12,011 --> 01:04:12,261
and so again I think that that

2078
01:04:13,977 --> 01:04:14,227
is probably actually in in an

2079
01:04:15,777 --> 01:04:16,027
underestimate I think that there

2080
01:04:17,511 --> 01:04:17,761
are some other smart folks

2081
01:04:18,111 --> 01:04:18,361
that are looking at it and think

2082
01:04:19,744 --> 01:04:19,994
the number is is significantly

2083
01:04:21,644 --> 01:04:21,894
higher but states have lost over

2084
01:04:22,311 --> 01:04:22,561
a billion

2085
01:04:24,277 --> 01:04:24,527
dollars in tax revenue that goes

2086
01:04:25,744 --> 01:04:25,994
to fund extremely important

2087
01:04:27,511 --> 01:04:27,761
things whatever the state

2088
01:04:28,244 --> 01:04:28,494
decides it goes to whether it's

2089
01:04:29,511 --> 01:04:29,761
education whether it's

2090
01:04:30,211 --> 01:04:30,461
infrastructure those types of

2091
01:04:32,011 --> 01:04:32,261
things that money is being

2092
01:04:34,211 --> 01:04:34,461
siphoned off and I think that

2093
01:04:36,244 --> 01:04:36,494
state departments of revenue and

2094
01:04:38,044 --> 01:04:38,294
and certainly the the the

2095
01:04:39,777 --> 01:04:40,027
agencies that are charged with

2096
01:04:41,511 --> 01:04:41,761
overseeing the the programs that

2097
01:04:42,311 --> 01:04:42,561
derived a lot of their funding

2098
01:04:44,244 --> 01:04:44,494
from sports betting tax revenue.

2099
01:04:45,977 --> 01:04:46,227
I know of a number of of states

2100
01:04:48,277 --> 01:04:48,527
where that where that revenue is

2101
01:04:49,744 --> 01:04:49,994
starting to dwindle and I think

2102
01:04:50,444 --> 01:04:50,694
I think we all know why that is

2103
01:04:54,244 --> 01:04:54,494
thank you for that and when

2104
01:04:55,777 --> 01:04:56,027
looking at your chart it seems

2105
01:04:57,744 --> 01:04:57,994
like that number will continue

2106
01:04:58,444 --> 01:04:58,694
to expand unless something's

2107
01:05:00,111 --> 01:05:00,361
done so thank you thank you

2108
01:05:00,677 --> 01:05:00,927

Gaming control boardard.

2116
01:05:21,677 --> 01:05:21,927
Welcome to interim

2117
01:05:24,511 --> 01:05:24,761
very good

2118
01:05:29,944 --> 01:05:30,194
good morning chairirneal

2119
01:05:31,777 --> 01:05:32,027
vicechair Bacchus and

2120
01:05:32,477 --> 01:05:32,727
distinguished members of the

2121
01:05:33,911 --> 01:05:34,161
joint interim standing Committee

2122
01:05:34,577 --> 01:05:34,827
on Revenue

2123
01:05:37,711 --> 01:05:37,961
for the record my name is Mike

2124
01:05:38,444 --> 01:05:38,694
Dreitzer and I serve as the

2125
01:05:40,011 --> 01:05:40,261
chairman of the Nevada Gaming

2126
01:05:41,977 --> 01:05:42,227
Control Board. I appreciate the

2127
01:05:43,744 --> 01:05:43,994
opportunity to appear before you

2128
01:05:45,511 --> 01:05:45,761
today and discuss prediction

2129
01:05:46,277 --> 01:05:46,527
markets and the concerns they

2130
01:05:49,511 --> 01:05:49,761
raise for Nevada during my

2131
01:05:50,111 --> 01:05:50,361
presentation I also will be

2132
01:05:51,511 --> 01:05:51,761
providing an update on our

2133
01:05:52,311 --> 01:05:52,561
effort to protect the state of

2134
01:05:53,944 --> 01:05:54,194
Nevada against these growing

2135
01:05:54,611 --> 01:05:54,861
threats

2136
01:05:59,744 --> 01:05:59,994
the board has taken a very

2137
01:06:01,744 --> 01:06:01,994
active approach to limit the

2138
01:06:02,344 --> 01:06:02,594
operations of prediction markets

2139
01:06:04,011 --> 01:06:04,261
in the state of Nevada. these

2140
01:06:07,477 --> 01:06:07,727
petition markets offer sports

2141
01:06:08,111 --> 01:06:08,361
betting and everyone who sees it

2142
01:06:08,777 --> 01:06:09,027
knows it.

2143
01:06:11,711 --> 01:06:11,961
that's what the federal court in

2144
01:06:13,511 --> 01:06:13,761
our cases have said and that's

2145
01:06:15,711 --> 01:06:15,961
very obvious as Mr York has said

2146
01:06:18,177 --> 01:06:18,427
it is quite clearly an en run to

2147
01:06:20,477 --> 01:06:20,727
allow sports wagering in all 50

2148
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:21,394
states in the country.

2149
01:06:25,544 --> 01:06:25,794
for instance over 90% ofaloci's

2150
01:06:27,577 --> 01:06:27,827
revenue comes from sports

2151
01:06:28,344 --> 01:06:28,594
betting to give you an idea of

2152
01:06:29,977 --> 01:06:30,227
the magnitude of what's

2153
01:06:32,244 --> 01:06:32,494
happening. Last year alci

2154
01:06:34,511 --> 01:06:34,761
crypto.com and Robinhoodod sued

2155
01:06:36,044 --> 01:06:36,294
the Nevada Gaming

2156
01:06:38,011 --> 01:06:38,261
Controlboardard seeking a ruling

2157
01:06:38,711 --> 01:06:38,961
that they were allowed to

2158
01:06:41,511 --> 01:06:41,761
operate unlicensed gaming in the

2159
01:06:42,277 --> 01:06:42,527
state the federal district court

2160
01:06:44,244 --> 01:06:44,494
disagreed and ruled for the

2161
01:06:46,011 --> 01:06:46,261
state. The prediction markets

2162
01:06:47,511 --> 01:06:47,761
appealed to theinth Circuit and

2163
01:06:49,511 --> 01:06:49,761
a ruling in that matter is

2164
01:06:50,277 --> 01:06:50,527
expected any day

2165
01:06:51,677 --> 01:06:51,927
we are hopeful that the court

2166
01:06:53,744 --> 01:06:53,994
will see them for what they are

2167
01:06:55,744 --> 01:06:55,994
and affirm the district court's

2168
01:06:57,744 --> 01:06:57,994
ruling at the same time the

2169
01:06:59,977 --> 01:07:00,227
board has also gone on the

2170
01:07:02,211 --> 01:07:02,461
offensive we have taken the

2171
01:07:04,044 --> 01:07:04,294
position that of course these

2172
01:07:04,711 --> 01:07:04,961
are

2173
01:07:07,777 --> 01:07:08,027
activities that are

2174
01:07:08,277 --> 01:07:08,527
unacceptable in the state of

2175
01:07:10,244 --> 01:07:10,494
Nevada it's unlicensed gambling

2176
01:07:11,977 --> 01:07:12,227
and we brought enforcement

2177
01:07:13,511 --> 01:07:13,761
actions in state court

2178
01:07:15,711 --> 01:07:15,961
againstalshi polymarket and

2179
01:07:17,511 --> 01:07:17,761
coinbase. The board did not

2180
01:07:18,277 --> 01:07:18,527
bring enforcement action against

2181
01:07:19,977 --> 01:07:20,227
Robinhoodod and crypto.com

2182
01:07:21,777 --> 01:07:22,027
because they agreed to stand

2183
01:07:23,777 --> 01:07:24,027
down during the pending appeal.

2184
01:07:25,744 --> 01:07:25,994
state court judges entered

2185
01:07:26,377 --> 01:07:26,627
preliminary injunctions against

2186
01:07:29,511 --> 01:07:29,761
coinnbase on March 26thalshi

2187
01:07:31,511 --> 01:07:31,761
May4th and Polymarket on

2188
01:07:33,511 --> 01:07:33,761
July8th. each preliminary

2189
01:07:34,111 --> 01:07:34,361
injunction order obligated these

2190
01:07:37,777 --> 01:07:38,027
prediction markets to bar users

2191
01:07:39,511 --> 01:07:39,761
in Nevada from placing

2192
01:07:41,511 --> 01:07:41,761
prohibited bets by a date

2193
01:07:43,711 --> 01:07:43,961
certain the final deadline for

2194
01:07:45,977 --> 01:07:46,227
any of these is polymarket

2195
01:07:46,544 --> 01:07:46,794
which is August 22nd.

2196
01:07:49,511 --> 01:07:49,761
the board's investigators have

2197
01:07:51,511 --> 01:07:51,761
checked to ensure that the

2198
01:07:52,111 --> 01:07:52,361
prediction markets are meeting

2199
01:07:54,244 --> 01:07:54,494
their obligations notablyalhi

2200
01:07:57,477 --> 01:07:57,727
was required to fully bar users

2201
01:07:58,211 --> 01:07:58,461
in Nevada from placing

2202
01:08:00,477 --> 01:08:00,727
prohibited bets by August12 but

2203
01:08:02,244 --> 01:08:02,494
the investigator's work showed

2204
01:08:04,277 --> 01:08:04,527
that Calci did not meet that

2205
01:08:06,011 --> 01:08:06,261
deadline and we are currently

2206
01:08:07,744 --> 01:08:07,994
seeking penalties from Kalshi

2207
01:08:10,011 --> 01:08:10,261
for its failure to abide by that

2208
01:08:12,044 --> 01:08:12,294
court order in a timely manner

2209
01:08:13,511 --> 01:08:13,761
and I'm gonna say this solely

2210
01:08:14,277 --> 01:08:14,527
because this is really the

2211
01:08:16,077 --> 01:08:16,327
important upshot of all of this

2212
01:08:16,744 --> 01:08:16,994
the result is that

2213
01:08:19,811 --> 01:08:20,061
all prediction markets that were

2214
01:08:22,044 --> 01:08:22,294
known to be operating in nevada

2215
01:08:24,277 --> 01:08:24,527
have been required to restrict

2216
01:08:24,944 --> 01:08:25,194
their operations.

2217
01:08:28,211 --> 01:08:28,461
and that that of course is

2218
01:08:29,977 --> 01:08:30,227
critical as has been indicated

2219
01:08:31,977 --> 01:08:32,227
we are pending additional court

2220
01:08:35,477 --> 01:08:35,727
cases both federally and in many

2221
01:08:37,477 --> 01:08:37,727
states and it's very important

2222
01:08:39,477 --> 01:08:39,727
again to say that all prediction

2223
01:08:40,211 --> 01:08:40,461
markets that were known to be

2224
01:08:41,777 --> 01:08:42,027
operating in Nevada have been

2225
01:08:43,511 --> 01:08:43,761
required to restrict their

2226
01:08:44,144 --> 01:08:44,394
application their their

2227
01:08:44,644 --> 01:08:44,894
operations

2228
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:48,261
we are not alone in our success

2229
01:08:49,744 --> 01:08:49,994
litigation against prediction

2230
01:08:51,511 --> 01:08:51,761
markets is occurring throughout

2231
01:08:52,211 --> 01:08:52,461
the country as has been

2232
01:08:53,977 --> 01:08:54,227
indicated the vast majority of

2233
01:08:55,744 --> 01:08:55,994
courts have agreed with our side

2234
01:08:57,477 --> 01:08:57,727
and ruled that states can

2235
01:08:58,244 --> 01:08:58,494
regulate prediction markets like

2236
01:08:59,777 --> 01:09:00,027
they regulate gambling

2237
01:09:02,011 --> 01:09:02,261
specifically13 trial courts have

2238
01:09:04,277 --> 01:09:04,527
favored the states o trial

2239
01:09:05,744 --> 01:09:05,994
courts have favored the

2240
01:09:07,511 --> 01:09:07,761
prediction markets and decisions

2241
01:09:09,744 --> 01:09:09,994
are still pending in five trial

2242
01:09:10,511 --> 01:09:10,761
courts. The only federal court

2243
01:09:12,011 --> 01:09:12,261
of appeals to have ruled is

2244
01:09:14,044 --> 01:09:14,294
thehirdcircuit in a 2 to1

2245
01:09:14,611 --> 01:09:14,861
decision it ruled for Kalshi

2246
01:09:17,511 --> 01:09:17,761
New Jersey has stated it will

2247
01:09:18,277 --> 01:09:18,527
ask the US Supreme Court to

2248
01:09:20,211 --> 01:09:20,461
review the case and the petition

2249
01:09:23,744 --> 01:09:23,994
is due by September3rd. Several

2250
01:09:25,477 --> 01:09:25,727
other appeals have been argued

2251
01:09:26,211 --> 01:09:26,461
in addition to ours in theinth

2252
01:09:28,211 --> 01:09:28,461
Circuit and decisions are

2253
01:09:29,511 --> 01:09:29,761
expected imminently in those

2254
01:09:31,777 --> 01:09:32,027
cases as well as well. these are

2255
01:09:33,511 --> 01:09:33,761
the ourth Circuit in Maryland,

2256
01:09:34,277 --> 01:09:34,527
theixth Circuit Ohio and

2257
01:09:36,277 --> 01:09:36,527
Tennessee and the Massachusetts

2258
01:09:39,477 --> 01:09:39,727
Supreme Court judicial court

2259
01:09:42,044 --> 01:09:42,294
the legal arguments are quite

2260
01:09:44,044 --> 01:09:44,294
clear the state's success in our

2261
01:09:44,711 --> 01:09:44,961
litigation is no

2262
01:09:48,244 --> 01:09:48,494
surprise it's absolutely settled

2263
01:09:50,011 --> 01:09:50,261
law that the state's not the

2264
01:09:51,544 --> 01:09:51,794
federal government regulate

2265
01:09:53,677 --> 01:09:53,927
gambling. it's a traditional

2266
01:09:54,411 --> 01:09:54,661
police power of the state's

2267
01:09:55,977 --> 01:09:56,227
recognized by the US Supreme

2268
01:09:58,011 --> 01:09:58,261
Court. The court reaffirmed this

2269
01:09:59,977 --> 01:10:00,227
in Murphy versus the NcAA in

2270
01:10:02,277 --> 01:10:02,527
2018 when it said that each

2271
01:10:04,011 --> 01:10:04,261
state gets to decide how it

2272
01:10:04,611 --> 01:10:04,861
wants to regulate gambling full

2273
01:10:05,311 --> 01:10:05,561
stop.

2274
01:10:07,744 --> 01:10:07,994
because gambling is well

2275
01:10:09,511 --> 01:10:09,761
recognized as an area of

2276
01:10:10,211 --> 01:10:10,461
traditional state regulation

2277
01:10:12,244 --> 01:10:12,494
there is a strong presumption

2278
01:10:14,211 --> 01:10:14,461
against preemption that is a

2279
01:10:15,711 --> 01:10:15,961
strong presumption that the

2280
01:10:17,944 --> 01:10:18,194
federal law does not push aside

2281
01:10:19,711 --> 01:10:19,961
state gambling law which it

2282
01:10:21,977 --> 01:10:22,227
doesn't in this case if Congress

2283
01:10:23,777 --> 01:10:24,027
wanted to push aside state laws

2284
01:10:25,811 --> 01:10:26,061
on gambling. Congress would have

2285
01:10:27,511 --> 01:10:27,761
to say that very clearly and

2286
01:10:28,277 --> 01:10:28,527
they most certainly have not.

2287
01:10:29,977 --> 01:10:30,227
The prediction markets have

2288
01:10:31,511 --> 01:10:31,761
argued that the federal

2289
01:10:33,744 --> 01:10:33,994
commodities exchange the CEA

2290
01:10:34,611 --> 01:10:34,861
preempts state gambling law

2291
01:10:35,177 --> 01:10:35,427
meaning that

2292
01:10:38,011 --> 01:10:38,261
if they list their sports bets

2293
01:10:39,744 --> 01:10:39,994
on a market regulated by the

2294
01:10:40,511 --> 01:10:40,761
commodity Futurestrading

2295
01:10:42,011 --> 01:10:42,261
Commission otherwise known as

2296
01:10:44,277 --> 01:10:44,527
the CFc and the sports bets can

2297
01:10:47,477 --> 01:10:47,727
only be regulated by thecFTc and

2298
01:10:48,211 --> 01:10:48,461
not by any state or Indian

2299
01:10:51,511 --> 01:10:51,761
tribe. The CFTc supports the

2300
01:10:52,511 --> 01:10:52,761
prediction market's position as

2301
01:10:54,311 --> 01:10:54,561
has been indicated but the CFdc

2302
01:10:56,044 --> 01:10:56,294
previously took the opposite

2303
01:10:58,011 --> 01:10:58,261
position and disclaimed any

2304
01:11:00,011 --> 01:11:00,261
ability to regulate gaming so

2305
01:11:03,511 --> 01:11:03,761
this is a recent abrupt about

2306
01:11:04,611 --> 01:11:04,861
face. there is ab no evidence to

2307
01:11:08,011 --> 01:11:08,261
show that is what Congress

2308
01:11:09,977 --> 01:11:10,227
intended. The CEA is about

2309
01:11:11,777 --> 01:11:12,027
regulating commodity derivatives

2310
01:11:13,744 --> 01:11:13,994
such as corn and soybean

2311
01:11:15,744 --> 01:11:15,994
futures. these are products that

2312
01:11:16,444 --> 01:11:16,694
companies traditionally have

2313
01:11:18,244 --> 01:11:18,494
used to hedge financial risk.

2314
01:11:21,744 --> 01:11:21,994
Sports bets are not commodity

2315
01:11:22,477 --> 01:11:22,727
derivatives they are for

2316
01:11:24,211 --> 01:11:24,461
entertainment. they do not hedge

2317
01:11:26,244 --> 01:11:26,494
any existing risk and the

2318
01:11:27,911 --> 01:11:28,161
betting itself creates a risk

2319
01:11:31,977 --> 01:11:32,227
it simply is not true that

2320
01:11:33,744 --> 01:11:33,994
anything a company chooses to

2321
01:11:35,477 --> 01:11:35,727
list on a CFdc regulated market

2322
01:11:37,511 --> 01:11:37,761
is subject to the CFTC's

2323
01:11:38,477 --> 01:11:38,727
exclusive jurisdiction that is

2324
01:11:40,277 --> 01:11:40,527
just not what the statute says.

2325
01:11:42,011 --> 01:11:42,261
The statute only applies to

2326
01:11:43,511 --> 01:11:43,761
commodity derivatives such as

2327
01:11:45,477 --> 01:11:45,727
swaps and sports bettingsl

2328
01:11:46,211 --> 01:11:46,461
sports bets clearly are not

2329
01:11:49,477 --> 01:11:49,727
swaps the CFTCs and the

2330
01:11:50,211 --> 01:11:50,461
prediction market's position

2331
01:11:51,744 --> 01:11:51,994
would take away the state's

2332
01:11:53,744 --> 01:11:53,994
ability to regulate gambling and

2333
01:11:55,744 --> 01:11:55,994
would shift all sports betting

2334
01:11:57,511 --> 01:11:57,761
from licensed sports books to

2335
01:11:58,611 --> 01:11:58,861
the CFTc which is clearly an

2336
01:11:59,177 --> 01:11:59,427
absurd result

2337
01:12:02,211 --> 01:12:02,461
The CFTC is not a gaming

2338
01:12:04,211 --> 01:12:04,461
regulator. it does not have the

2339
01:12:06,177 --> 01:12:06,427
expertise or the resources to

2340
01:12:08,211 --> 01:12:08,461
effectively regulate gaming and

2341
01:12:09,511 --> 01:12:09,761
in the past it's specifically

2342
01:12:11,511 --> 01:12:11,761
disclaimed that it was a gaming

2343
01:12:13,511 --> 01:12:13,761
regulator. The CFTC is in the

2344
01:12:14,111 --> 01:12:14,361
prediction market's position is

2345
01:12:16,211 --> 01:12:16,461
also absurd. The CEA says that

2346
01:12:18,211 --> 01:12:18,461
if a consumer contract is a swap

2347
01:12:19,977 --> 01:12:20,227
then it must be traded on the

2348
01:12:22,044 --> 01:12:22,294
CFTc regulated exchange if

2349
01:12:24,011 --> 01:12:24,261
sports bets are swapped sports

2350
01:12:25,977 --> 01:12:26,227
betting would have to be done on

2351
01:12:27,977 --> 01:12:28,227
CFc regulated markets and

2352
01:12:28,611 --> 01:12:28,861
clearly Congress never intended

2353
01:12:29,277 --> 01:12:29,527
that

2354
01:12:31,977 --> 01:12:32,227
in terms of the state's

2355
01:12:33,711 --> 01:12:33,961
interests that we are protecting

2356
01:12:36,211 --> 01:12:36,461
we are making the CFTs the

2357
01:12:37,711 --> 01:12:37,961
important state interests if

2358
01:12:38,411 --> 01:12:38,661
they move forward and are

2359
01:12:41,977 --> 01:12:42,227
successful the CFTc would be the

2360
01:12:43,977 --> 01:12:44,227
nation's gaming regulator which

2361
01:12:45,511 --> 01:12:45,761
of course would be a serious

2362
01:12:47,477 --> 01:12:47,727
affront to the state of Nevada

2363
01:12:48,244 --> 01:12:48,494
and all states that otherwise

2364
01:12:50,477 --> 01:12:50,727
regulate gaming successfully and

2365
01:12:52,244 --> 01:12:52,494
have done so for many decades as

2366
01:12:53,711 --> 01:12:53,961
a district court in our case

2367
01:12:54,377 --> 01:12:54,627
said

2368
01:12:57,711 --> 01:12:57,961
this is direct

2369
01:13:00,544 --> 01:13:00,794
contrast to decades of

2370
01:13:00,977 --> 01:13:01,227
federalism principles

2371
01:13:07,777 --> 01:13:08,027
Taking away the NGCb's ability

2372
01:13:09,711 --> 01:13:09,961
to fully regulate sports betting

2373
01:13:11,511 --> 01:13:11,761
would be financially devastating

2374
01:13:13,511 --> 01:13:13,761
to the state of Nevada. Gaming

2375
01:13:14,311 --> 01:13:14,561
revenue is obviously a

2376
01:13:16,011 --> 01:13:16,261
significant part of the state

2377
01:13:17,977 --> 01:13:18,227
budget for for Nevada the

2378
01:13:20,077 --> 01:13:20,327
CFTC and the prediction market's

2379
01:13:22,277 --> 01:13:22,527
position could take that away

2380
01:13:25,477 --> 01:13:25,727
completely and so we are clear

2381
01:13:27,511 --> 01:13:27,761
it doesn't end with sports

2382
01:13:29,544 --> 01:13:29,794
betting this could very clearly

2383
01:13:31,511 --> 01:13:31,761
over time and the door has been

2384
01:13:33,844 --> 01:13:34,094
left open to have the supply to

2385
01:13:34,544 --> 01:13:34,794
other types of gambling

2386
01:13:37,511 --> 01:13:37,761
besides sports betting

2387
01:13:38,244 --> 01:13:38,494
including casino gaming and of

2388
01:13:40,211 --> 01:13:40,461
course online wagering of other

2389
01:13:40,877 --> 01:13:41,127
sorts

2390
01:13:43,777 --> 01:13:44,027
it would take away the state's

2391
01:13:44,377 --> 01:13:44,627
ability to protect their

2392
01:13:46,244 --> 01:13:46,494
citizens for example Nevada

2393
01:13:48,244 --> 01:13:48,494
banns people under 21 from

2394
01:13:49,977 --> 01:13:50,227
gambling and the prediction

2395
01:13:52,011 --> 01:13:52,261
markets do not allowing 18

2396
01:13:54,011 --> 01:13:54,261
yearolds to gamble. Other key

2397
01:13:56,011 --> 01:13:56,261
areas of consumer protection

2398
01:13:58,011 --> 01:13:58,261
that are in a great concern

2399
01:14:00,011 --> 01:14:00,261
within this scheme are money

2400
01:14:01,744 --> 01:14:01,994
laundering protections, know

2401
01:14:03,777 --> 01:14:04,027
your customer requirements

2402
01:14:04,511 --> 01:14:04,761
problem gambling of which there

2403
01:14:06,277 --> 01:14:06,527
are little to no protections

2404
01:14:10,377 --> 01:14:10,627
with these federal prediction

2405
01:14:11,044 --> 01:14:11,294
markets patronon dispute

2406
01:14:14,277 --> 01:14:14,527
resolution insider betting slash

2407
01:14:16,244 --> 01:14:16,494
lack of fair wagering. one thing

2408
01:14:17,744 --> 01:14:17,994
we do know in the state of

2409
01:14:19,511 --> 01:14:19,761
Nevada is that when someone

2410
01:14:20,111 --> 01:14:20,361
risks their money

2411
01:14:23,511 --> 01:14:23,761
at at a casino or at another

2412
01:14:25,511 --> 01:14:25,761
licensed gaming establishment

2413
01:14:26,111 --> 01:14:26,361
that they are getting the

2414
01:14:27,811 --> 01:14:28,061
opportunity for a fair wager, I

2415
01:14:30,044 --> 01:14:30,294
think that the news reports of

2416
01:14:32,244 --> 01:14:32,494
the various events that have

2417
01:14:33,477 --> 01:14:33,727
occurred

2418
01:14:35,777 --> 01:14:36,027
the cheating that has occurred

2419
01:14:36,411 --> 01:14:36,661
as it pertains to prediction

2420
01:14:39,777 --> 01:14:40,027
markets is quite clear and

2421
01:14:40,344 --> 01:14:40,594
there's no protection or very

2422
01:14:41,011 --> 01:14:41,261
limited protection in

2423
01:14:43,077 --> 01:14:43,327
that regard

2424
01:14:45,744 --> 01:14:45,994
there also has as been indicated

2425
01:14:47,677 --> 01:14:47,927
by Mr York been misleading and

2426
01:14:48,344 --> 01:14:48,594
inappropriate adverti

plus the district of Columbia

2430

ames amicus briefs to say that

2431
01:15:02,011 --> 01:15:02,261
the CFc and the prediction

2432
01:15:03,777 --> 01:15:04,027
market's arguments are flat

2433
01:15:05,744 --> 01:15:05,994
wrong. Many other individual and

2434
01:15:07,511 --> 01:15:07,761
groups have filed amicus briefs

2435
01:15:08,211 --> 01:15:08,461
in support of the states

2436
01:15:09,544 --> 01:15:09,794
including a broad coalition of

2437
01:15:11,777 --> 01:15:12,027
Indian tribes the AGA a

professor who is a CFTC expert

and multiple responsible gaming

2440
01:15:18,277 --> 01:15:18,527
organizations in conclusion we

2441
01:15:20,044 --> 01:15:20,294
at the Nevada Gaming Control

2442
01:15:20,644 --> 01:15:20,894
Board have done everything

2443
01:15:21,244 --> 01:15:21,494
possible

2444
01:15:24,044 --> 01:15:24,294
to fight this matter and made

2445
01:15:26,011 --> 01:15:26,261
our stance very clear that any

2446
01:15:28,277 --> 01:15:28,527
involvement by our licensees in

2447
01:15:31,544 --> 01:15:31,794
the prediction markets is a

2448
01:15:33,511 --> 01:15:33,761
status that is incompatible with

2449
01:15:34,244 --> 01:15:34,494
their ability to participate in

2450
01:15:36,277 --> 01:15:36,527
gaming in Nevada and it was

2451
01:15:37,777 --> 01:15:38,027
important that we take that

2452
01:15:41,744 --> 01:15:41,994
stand we look forward to the

2453
01:15:43,511 --> 01:15:43,761
court rulings because we most

2454
01:15:44,211 --> 01:15:44,461
certainly feel as though and

2455
01:15:46,244 --> 01:15:46,494
know as so we are in the right

2456
01:15:49,711 --> 01:15:49,961
given the history Nevada last

2457
01:15:50,411 --> 01:15:50,661

anniversary as the gold standard

of regulation not only in the

United States but in the

world.aming regulation is

01:16:02,211 --> 01:16:02,461
complex.aming regulation is

2465
01:16:04,211 --> 01:16:04,461
nuanced but it is the

2466
01:16:08,477 --> 01:16:08,727
underpinning for all those who

2467
01:16:09,744 --> 01:16:09,994
invest in gaming and all of

2468
01:16:11,511 --> 01:16:11,761
those who participate in the

2469
01:16:13,511 --> 01:16:13,761
gaming industry and it was

2470
01:16:14,244 --> 01:16:14,494
necessary to preserve that so

2471
01:16:16,244 --> 01:16:16,494
again I just want to repeat the

2472
01:16:19,477 --> 01:16:19,727
one point that the goal has been

2473
01:16:20,377 --> 01:16:20,627
achieved and that is all sports

2474
01:16:21,111 --> 01:16:21,361
predi

2475
01:16:24,011 --> 01:16:24,261
ction market contracts have been

2476
01:16:25,477 --> 01:16:25,727
restricted from the state of

2477
01:16:26,477 --> 01:16:26,727
Nevada so the cases will keep

2478
01:16:27,977 --> 01:16:28,227
going through the court but

2479
01:16:29,977 --> 01:16:30,227
importantly as we head towards

2480
01:16:32,011 --> 01:16:32,261
football season which of course

2481
01:16:33,777 --> 01:16:34,027
will be very busy for us as it

2482
01:16:36,011 --> 01:16:36,261
always is traditionally there

2483
01:16:38,277 --> 01:16:38,527
have been successful

2484
01:16:39,777 --> 01:16:40,027
restrictions placed on the

2485
01:16:41,511 --> 01:16:41,761
prediction markets as the sports

2486
01:16:43,511 --> 01:16:43,761
betting I thank you for your

2487
01:16:45,677 --> 01:16:45,927
time and I'd be happy to

2488
01:16:46,277 --> 01:16:46,527
answer any questions that you

2489
01:16:46,911 --> 01:16:47,161
may have

2490
01:16:49,677 --> 01:16:49,927
thank you for that senator

2491
01:16:50,211 --> 01:16:50,461
Danyna

2492
01:16:55,744 --> 01:16:55,994
thank you chair. first and

2493
01:16:57,511 --> 01:16:57,761
foremost, thank you for the

2494
01:16:58,077 --> 01:16:58,327
presentation and for your

2495
01:16:58,644 --> 01:16:58,894
commentary

2496
01:17:01,711 --> 01:17:01,961
I'm of the belief that

2497
01:17:03,511 --> 01:17:03,761
prediction markets are the

2498
01:17:05,511 --> 01:17:05,761
greatest threat to our our

2499
01:17:07,511 --> 01:17:07,761
state's economy. this is

2500
01:17:08,011 --> 01:17:08,261
probably one of the most

2501
01:17:09,511 --> 01:17:09,761
pervasive issues that has been

2502
01:17:10,311 --> 01:17:10,561
rising in the last couple of

2503
01:17:10,977 --> 01:17:11,227
years

2504
01:17:14,244 --> 01:17:14,494
and there are components of this

2505
01:17:16,477 --> 01:17:16,727
that I think probably started

2506
01:17:18,011 --> 01:17:18,261
off as frivolous and now have

2507
01:17:19,744 --> 01:17:19,994
become nefarious on purpose by

2508
01:17:21,511 --> 01:17:21,761
some of the bad actors

2509
01:17:22,044 --> 01:17:22,294
specifically Kalcy and

2510
01:17:22,511 --> 01:17:22,761
Polymarket.

2511
01:17:25,711 --> 01:17:25,961
I guess my question is

2512
01:17:28,044 --> 01:17:28,294
I understand the regulatory

2513
01:17:30,011 --> 01:17:30,261
standpoint of the gaming control

2514
01:17:31,511 --> 01:17:31,761
board and you're currently in

2515
01:17:32,511 --> 01:17:32,761
litigation so I'm not gonna ask

2516
01:17:33,777 --> 01:17:34,027
questions relating to that

2517
01:17:34,477 --> 01:17:34,727
because I know it's a it would

2518
01:17:35,144 --> 01:17:35,394
be hard to comment on them

2519
01:17:39,511 --> 01:17:39,761
I think my main quest I have two

2520
01:17:41,777 --> 01:17:42,027
questions first and foremost in

2521
01:17:42,377 --> 01:17:42,627
the moments that

2522
01:17:45,744 --> 01:17:45,994
coci and some of the production

2523
01:17:47,477 --> 01:17:47,727
markets were operating in the

2524
01:17:48,244 --> 01:17:48,494
state so it's my understanding

2525
01:17:50,044 --> 01:17:50,294
gaming control boardard

2526
01:17:50,611 --> 01:17:50,861
responded sent them a cease and

2527
01:17:51,277 --> 01:17:51,527
desist letter

2528
01:17:53,777 --> 01:17:54,027
but there were still active days

2529
01:17:55,511 --> 01:17:55,761
that they were perhaps taking

2530
01:17:56,144 --> 01:17:56,394
bets or so forth from any

2531
01:18:00,211 --> 01:18:00,461
resident of this state I

2532
01:18:03,511 --> 01:18:03,761
guess my question is does the

2533
01:18:04,311 --> 01:18:04,561
gaming control board right now

2534
01:18:06,244 --> 01:18:06,494
have the ability to identify any

2535
01:18:09,511 --> 01:18:09,761
potential victims retroactively

2536
01:18:11,511 --> 01:18:11,761
that may have participated

2537
01:18:12,244 --> 01:18:12,494
while those prediction markets

2538
01:18:14,011 --> 01:18:14,261
were operating in the state

2539
01:18:14,644 --> 01:18:14,894
before they closed their

2540
01:18:16,277 --> 01:18:16,527
operations subject to the cease

2541
01:18:18,044 --> 01:18:18,294
and desist. Is that something

2542
01:18:20,277 --> 01:18:20,527
that we can gather

2543
01:18:23,511 --> 01:18:23,761
within the current regulatory

2544
01:18:25,511 --> 01:18:25,761
authority I guess my the reason

2545
01:18:26,177 --> 01:18:26,427
why I'm asking this is

2546
01:18:30,511 --> 01:18:30,761
clearly someone needs to go

2547
01:18:31,744 --> 01:18:31,994
to jail in my opinion this has

2548
01:18:33,777 --> 01:18:34,027
been pretty criminal and some of

2549
01:18:34,444 --> 01:18:34,694
the actions that have taken

2550
01:18:34,977 --> 01:18:35,227
place nationally

2551
01:18:37,977 --> 01:18:38,227
and if there was a minor that

2552
01:18:39,777 --> 01:18:40,027
was trading under this

2553
01:18:41,511 --> 01:18:41,761
prediction market that was

2554
01:18:42,244 --> 01:18:42,494
located in our state I mean

2555
01:18:43,544 --> 01:18:43,794
there has to be a level of

2556
01:18:44,244 --> 01:18:44,494
restitution that needs to be

2557
01:18:46,011 --> 01:18:46,261
paid for and so I guess my

2558
01:18:47,744 --> 01:18:47,994
question is do we have already

2559
01:18:48,444 --> 01:18:48,694
the regulatory authority to

2560
01:18:50,177 --> 01:18:50,427
identify who these victims of if

2561
01:18:51,944 --> 01:18:52,194
there is such cases in our

2562
01:18:52,477 --> 01:18:52,727
state.

2563
01:18:55,977 --> 01:18:56,227
well first of all let me say

2564
01:18:58,211 --> 01:18:58,461
that there have been

2565
01:19:02,011 --> 01:19:02,261
certainly a prediction market

2566
01:19:04,011 --> 01:19:04,261
contracts that have gone on in

2567
01:19:06,011 --> 01:19:06,261
the state of Nevada and it has

2568
01:19:09,744 --> 01:19:09,994
been a herculean task and a a

2569
01:19:11,511 --> 01:19:11,761
strong test coordinated with the

2570
01:19:12,277 --> 01:19:12,527
support of governor Lombardo and

2571
01:19:14,277 --> 01:19:14,527
the attorney general's office to

2572
01:19:16,277 --> 01:19:16,527
support the Nevada Gaming

2573
01:19:18,011 --> 01:19:18,261
Control Board to do what we can

2574
01:19:21,777 --> 01:19:22,027
to importantly restrict them

2575
01:19:22,411 --> 01:19:22,661
across the state that's where

2576
01:19:23,077 --> 01:19:23,327
our

2577
01:19:26,211 --> 01:19:26,461
focus has been at this point to

2578
01:19:28,211 --> 01:19:28,461
put a stop to it because again

2579
01:19:31,511 --> 01:19:31,761
these are not just contracts in

2580
01:19:32,211 --> 01:19:32,461
the abstract to your point

2581
01:19:34,244 --> 01:19:34,494
senator they hurt people right

2582
01:19:37,477 --> 01:19:37,727
and they hurt minors there's

2583
01:19:39,711 --> 01:19:39,961
there's evidence across the

2584
01:19:41,777 --> 01:19:42,027
country where people are

2585
01:19:43,511 --> 01:19:43,761
putting money into these

2586
01:19:44,077 --> 01:19:44,327
contracts as as was indicated

2587
01:19:47,511 --> 01:19:47,761
earlier to try and make the rent

2588
01:19:49,977 --> 01:19:50,227
instances where they were put

2589
01:19:51,744 --> 01:19:51,994
in as young people and they

2590
01:19:52,377 --> 01:19:52,627
shouldn't have been doing it

2591
01:19:55,744 --> 01:19:55,994
you know even sub eight in some

2592
01:19:58,244 --> 01:19:58,494
cases so I would say we are

2593
01:20:00,244 --> 01:20:00,494
at the phase of this where we

2594
01:20:02,011 --> 01:20:02,261
needed to conclude that and

2595
01:20:03,744 --> 01:20:03,994
that's right where we are right

2596
01:20:05,977 --> 01:20:06,227
now and so we're sort of at that

2597
01:20:07,744 --> 01:20:07,994
juncture because the first and

2598
01:20:10,244 --> 01:20:10,494
foremost it was to reach a

2599
01:20:11,777 --> 01:20:12,027
point where we could say that

2600
01:20:14,044 --> 01:20:14,294
all such activities' been

2601
01:20:17,511 --> 01:20:17,761
restricted in terms of looking

2602
01:20:19,744 --> 01:20:19,994
at victims you know certainly

2603
01:20:21,744 --> 01:20:21,994
that's something that it's

2604
01:20:22,277 --> 01:20:22,527
within our charge and is

2605
01:20:22,844 --> 01:20:23,094
important to us

2606
01:20:25,511 --> 01:20:25,761
of course to look at anybody

2607
01:20:26,244 --> 01:20:26,494
who's been a victim of what

2608
01:20:28,411 --> 01:20:28,661
would be a gaming crime but

2609
01:20:30,211 --> 01:20:30,461
right now I would say our focus

2610
01:20:31,511 --> 01:20:31,761
is

2611
01:20:34,277 --> 01:20:34,527
restricting the effectively

2612
01:20:36,011 --> 01:20:36,261
restricting the activity which

2613
01:20:37,744 --> 01:20:37,994
we've done and we are awaiting

2614
01:20:39,977 --> 01:20:40,227
further the court ruling and

2615
01:20:41,744 --> 01:20:41,994
this is I can say to you a very

2616
01:20:44,044 --> 01:20:44,294
dynamic situation, right? we

2617
01:20:45,511 --> 01:20:45,761
could be sitting here today and

2618
01:20:47,511 --> 01:20:47,761
then a week from now we could

2619
01:20:48,111 --> 01:20:48,361
have more developments so I

2620
01:20:50,011 --> 01:20:50,261
would say we are still in phase

2621
01:20:52,077 --> 01:20:52,327
one which is focusing strictly

2622
01:20:52,777 --> 01:20:53,027
on

2623
01:20:55,477 --> 01:20:55,727
limiting and fully

2624
01:20:56,211 --> 01:20:56,461
restricting the activities in

2625
01:20:56,877 --> 01:20:57,127
the state and that's what we've

2626
01:20:57,577 --> 01:20:57,827
done.

2627
01:21:00,077 --> 01:21:00,327
and sheriff I might follow up

2628
01:21:03,877 --> 01:21:04,127
the so thank you for that

2629
01:21:06,011 --> 01:21:06,261
I think the question that I have

2630
01:21:09,511 --> 01:21:09,761
is more so as a followup.

2631
01:21:10,244 --> 01:21:10,494
obviouslybviously all of us are

2632
01:21:11,977 --> 01:21:12,227
watching what the federal

2633
01:21:13,744 --> 01:21:13,994
courts do in terms of their

2634
01:21:15,477 --> 01:21:15,727
response at some point in near

2635
01:21:16,444 --> 01:21:16,694
distant future we will know

2636
01:21:19,511 --> 01:21:19,761
what that answer is. My main

2637
01:21:20,211 --> 01:21:20,461
concern and this is something

2638
01:21:23,511 --> 01:21:23,761
that we can talk off offline is

2639
01:21:25,744 --> 01:21:25,994
one when that decision makes

2640
01:21:26,344 --> 01:21:26,594
when when that decision is made

2641
01:21:28,011 --> 01:21:28,261
in terms of what the regulatory

2642
01:21:29,544 --> 01:21:29,794
standpoint will be for the

2643
01:21:30,111 --> 01:21:30,361
states versus the federal

2644
01:21:31,977 --> 01:21:32,227
government and so forth is I

2645
01:21:33,511 --> 01:21:33,761
want the I want to preserve the

2646
01:21:34,244 --> 01:21:34,494
ability for the for you all to

2647
01:21:34,911 --> 01:21:35,161
be able

2648
01:21:36,011 --> 01:21:36,261
to look at from the enforcement

2649
01:21:38,011 --> 01:21:38,261
of being able to

2650
01:21:39,744 --> 01:21:39,994
retroactively identify if there

2651
01:21:41,477 --> 01:21:41,727
were any potential victims

2652
01:21:42,244 --> 01:21:42,494
whether under age or someone

2653
01:21:45,477 --> 01:21:45,727
that made a wager and there

2654
01:21:46,477 --> 01:21:46,727
was insider trading collected

2655
01:21:48,011 --> 01:21:48,261
to it right whatever the

2656
01:21:49,744 --> 01:21:49,994
protocols that you established

2657
01:21:50,611 --> 01:21:50,861
but number two

2658
01:21:53,977 --> 01:21:54,227
I am very concerned that this is

2659
01:21:56,211 --> 01:21:56,461
going to be a proliferation of

2660
01:21:57,744 --> 01:21:57,994
the gray market that other

2661
01:21:59,711 --> 01:21:59,961
copycats are gonna come and try

2662
01:22:01,777 --> 01:22:02,027
to attempt the same and so what

2663
01:22:02,444 --> 01:22:02,694
I'm scared of and perhaps

2664
01:22:06,011 --> 01:22:06,261
just to there

2665
01:22:08,244 --> 01:22:08,494
there's a regulatory standpoint

2666
01:22:10,111 --> 01:22:10,361
that I think we I would love

2667
01:22:12,011 --> 01:22:12,261
your feedback on on

2668
01:22:14,044 --> 01:22:14,294
technologies evolving people

2669
01:22:15,744 --> 01:22:15,994
have access to VPns their

2670
01:22:17,744 --> 01:22:17,994
circumnavigating geo fences

2671
01:22:20,511 --> 01:22:20,761
umalhi is still I received the

2672
01:22:23,511 --> 01:22:23,761
advertisements everyday for

2673
01:22:26,311 --> 01:22:26,561
my age group right of of like

2674
01:22:28,011 --> 01:22:28,261
I their advertisements are on my

2675
01:22:30,277 --> 01:22:30,527
social media and so even

2676
01:22:31,777 --> 01:22:32,027
though they're not legal in our

2677
01:22:32,477 --> 01:22:32,727
state and they still have the

2678
01:22:33,544 --> 01:22:33,794
ability to practice there's

2679
01:22:34,077 --> 01:22:34,327
still clearly marketing towards

2680
01:22:34,777 --> 01:22:35,027
consumers in our

2681
01:22:37,744 --> 01:22:37,994
state and so my point being

2682
01:22:39,544 --> 01:22:39,794
is it sounds like even if there

2683
01:22:40,277 --> 01:22:40,527
is this court decision to be

2684
01:22:41,744 --> 01:22:41,994
made there's still some things

2685
01:22:42,377 --> 01:22:42,627
that we have to look at from the

2686
01:22:44,277 --> 01:22:44,527
regulatory standpoint so if

2687
01:22:45,744 --> 01:22:45,994
there's ideas that you may have

2688
01:22:47,477 --> 01:22:47,727
on how to clamp it down. I mean

2689
01:22:48,244 --> 01:22:48,494
that certainly and to increase

2690
01:22:49,744 --> 01:22:49,994
reinforcement I think that would

2691
01:22:50,444 --> 01:22:50,694
be something that we should talk

2692
01:22:51,744 --> 01:22:51,994
about but I don't know if you

2693
01:22:52,377 --> 01:22:52,627
have any response to that. I do

2694
01:22:54,011 --> 01:22:54,261
well let me just say a few

2695
01:22:55,511 --> 01:22:55,761
things because obviously all

2696
01:22:57,744 --> 01:22:57,994
this is happening at once now

2697
01:22:59,511 --> 01:22:59,761
rest assured we are

2698
01:22:59,944 --> 01:23:00,194
extraordinarily

2699
01:23:02,244 --> 01:23:02,494
aggressive at the gaming control

2700
01:23:05,511 --> 01:23:05,761
board around using our

2701
01:23:07,777 --> 01:23:08,027
enforcement resources to make

2702
01:23:08,344 --> 01:23:08,594
sure that there's no further

2703
01:23:08,911 --> 01:23:09,161
proliferation

2704
01:23:11,744 --> 01:23:11,994
in the state of Nevada again

2705
01:23:13,511 --> 01:23:13,761
importantly we needed to say

2706
01:23:15,511 --> 01:23:15,761
that we have addressed all of

2707
01:23:17,744 --> 01:23:17,994
the known actors but on any

2708
01:23:18,444 --> 01:23:18,694
given day without obviously

2709
01:23:20,011 --> 01:23:20,261
going into the details of our

2710
01:23:22,011 --> 01:23:22,261
investigative approach and

2711
01:23:23,511 --> 01:23:23,761
investigative technique you're

2712
01:23:24,211 --> 01:23:24,461
absolutely right there are other

2713
01:23:25,977 --> 01:23:26,227
actors that pop up who say we're

2714
01:23:28,211 --> 01:23:28,461
going to offer a statewide or a

2715
01:23:31,511 --> 01:23:31,761
nationwidedCM and we are

2716
01:23:33,511 --> 01:23:33,761
constantly vigilant to make sure

2717
01:23:35,777 --> 01:23:36,027
that they are not opening up in

2718
01:23:37,777 --> 01:23:38,027
Nevada and if they are we pursue

2719
01:23:38,444 --> 01:23:38,694
them aggressively right because

2720
01:23:39,144 --> 01:23:39,394
the idea

2721
01:23:42,011 --> 01:23:42,261
is that we're only as strong as

2722
01:23:43,744 --> 01:23:43,994
sort of our weakest link so to

2723
01:23:45,477 --> 01:23:45,727
speak and if we've addressed the

2724
01:23:46,211 --> 01:23:46,461
ones that we've addressed to

2725
01:23:47,944 --> 01:23:48,194
have make sure that they cannot

2726
01:23:50,011 --> 01:23:50,261
continue in the state we're

2727
01:23:51,511 --> 01:23:51,761
always looking to see if other

2728
01:23:53,744 --> 01:23:53,994
ones pop up and I will say this

2729
01:23:56,011 --> 01:23:56,261
most certainly my charge as

2730
01:23:57,511 --> 01:23:57,761
chairman of the game and control

2731
01:23:59,711 --> 01:23:59,961
boardard is to make sure that we

2732
01:24:01,677 --> 01:24:01,927
that any violations of the

2733
01:24:02,244 --> 01:24:02,494
the

2734
01:24:03,977 --> 01:24:04,227
the laws as it pertain to

2735
01:24:07,744 --> 01:24:07,994
gambling are prosecuted

2736
01:24:08,211 --> 01:24:08,461
pursued and prosecuted to the

2737
01:24:09,977 --> 01:24:10,227
fullest extent of the law and I

2738
01:24:11,744 --> 01:24:11,994
can say on a regular basis we

2739
01:24:13,511 --> 01:24:13,761
receive all sorts of information

2740
01:24:15,511 --> 01:24:15,761
in this space and other spaces

2741
01:24:17,511 --> 01:24:17,761
and we're tracking down every

2742
01:24:18,211 --> 01:24:18,461
single one of them right so what

2743
01:24:19,977 --> 01:24:20,227
I would say to you and to your

2744
01:24:21,744 --> 01:24:21,994
constituents or to whoever was

2745
01:24:24,011 --> 01:24:24,261
was interested if there is

2746
01:24:27,844 --> 01:24:28,094
evidence that something was

2747
01:24:28,411 --> 01:24:28,661
done that would appear to

2748
01:24:31,844 --> 01:24:32,094
potentially be a core unfair or

2749
01:24:32,477 --> 01:24:32,727
violates state law

2750
01:24:35,777 --> 01:24:36,027
or have anything to do with

2751
01:24:37,777 --> 01:24:38,027
underage gambling bring that to

2752
01:24:39,777 --> 01:24:40,027
us and we will pursue it we

2753
01:24:41,544 --> 01:24:41,794
track down every single lead,

2754
01:24:42,244 --> 01:24:42,494
every single thing that comes

2755
01:24:44,011 --> 01:24:44,261
across our desk so on one hand

2756
01:24:45,744 --> 01:24:45,994
we're stemming the tide and

2757
01:24:47,511 --> 01:24:47,761
we're making sure that you know

2758
01:24:49,511 --> 01:24:49,761
there are no new actorsi too see

2759
01:24:51,511 --> 01:24:51,761
all the ads and all the the

2760
01:24:52,111 --> 01:24:52,361
pronouncements of the newer

2761
01:24:53,511 --> 01:24:53,761
companies that come out and say

2762
01:24:55,511 --> 01:24:55,761
hey we're going to go fi0 states

2763
01:24:57,511 --> 01:24:57,761
and we make sure that that's not

2764
01:24:59,511 --> 01:24:59,761
true that no matter what that

2765
01:25:00,111 --> 01:25:00,361
we're going to protect Nevada

2766
01:25:01,877 --> 01:25:02,127
and make sure that the new

2767
01:25:02,444 --> 01:25:02,694
new a

2768
01:25:04,244 --> 01:25:04,494
ctor s likepollyarkin and Cal

2769
01:25:05,744 --> 01:25:05,994
she that there won't be new ones

2770
01:25:07,744 --> 01:25:07,994
that we've we've we've blocked

2771
01:25:09,511 --> 01:25:09,761
them and if they haven't then

2772
01:25:10,077 --> 01:25:10,327
we've been very legally

2773
01:25:11,511 --> 01:25:11,761
aggressive we've perhaps been

2774
01:25:13,744 --> 01:25:13,994
one of the most aggressively

2775
01:25:15,711 --> 01:25:15,961
legal states in the country in

2776
01:25:17,477 --> 01:25:17,727
terms of our our legal posture

2777
01:25:19,744 --> 01:25:19,994
and then if there is evidence of

2778
01:25:20,577 --> 01:25:20,827
of of something to do with

2779
01:25:26,077 --> 01:25:26,327
a crime or something that is a

2780
01:25:27,977 --> 01:25:28,227
violation of the nevada Gaming

2781
01:25:29,977 --> 01:25:30,227
Control Act we look into it so

2782
01:25:31,544 --> 01:25:31,794
let us know and obviously this

2783
01:25:33,511 --> 01:25:33,761
is going to continue as this all

2784
01:25:35,511 --> 01:25:35,761
becomes clearer but but as a but

2785
01:25:38,244 --> 01:25:38,494
as a cornerstone we we need to

2786
01:25:40,011 --> 01:25:40,261
keep going in court right to

2787
01:25:40,611 --> 01:25:40,861
make sure that you know

2788
01:25:44,277 --> 01:25:44,527
that are the rights are are

2789
01:25:45,644 --> 01:25:45,894
protected and that the state of

2790
01:25:46,377 --> 01:25:46,627
Nevada's protected properly

2791
01:25:51,811 --> 01:25:52,061
assemblywoman anderson

2792
01:25:55,811 --> 01:25:56,061
thank you so much for the

2793
01:25:56,311 --> 01:25:56,561
presentation and for the work

2794
01:25:58,177 --> 01:25:58,427
you guys do from the whole

2795
01:25:58,744 --> 01:25:58,994
gaming board.

2796
01:26:01,744 --> 01:26:01,994
I'm an alternate on this

2797
01:26:03,511 --> 01:26:03,761
committee so I have not done as

2798
01:26:05,511 --> 01:26:05,761
much homework as I should have

2799
01:26:06,244 --> 01:26:06,494
to prepare for this, so I have

2800
01:26:08,211 --> 01:26:08,461
numerous questions but I

2801
01:26:09,944 --> 01:26:10,194
think I'll start off first with

2802
01:26:12,177 --> 01:26:12,427
the actual item right now that

2803
01:26:13,744 --> 01:26:13,994
seems to me most concerning,

2804
01:26:15,744 --> 01:26:15,994
which has nothing to do with you

2805
01:26:16,444 --> 01:26:16,694
that's the commodities futures

2806
01:26:17,144 --> 01:26:17,394
trading commission.

2807
01:26:20,311 --> 01:26:20,561
from what it sounds like there

2808
01:26:21,011 --> 01:26:21,261
are

2809
01:26:23,744 --> 01:26:23,994
there's legislation that they

2810
01:26:25,711 --> 01:26:25,961
are forwarding and it's supposed

2811
01:26:27,477 --> 01:26:27,727
to have5 commission

2812
01:26:28,444 --> 01:26:28,694
commissioners is it accurate

2813
01:26:29,744 --> 01:26:29,994
that there's only one at this

2814
01:26:31,744 --> 01:26:31,994
time can you dig into that a

2815
01:26:33,744 --> 01:26:33,994
little bit more. Yeah, at this

2816
01:26:35,477 --> 01:26:35,727
time it's absolutely accurate

2817
01:26:37,977 --> 01:26:38,227
that there is one chairman of

2818
01:26:40,411 --> 01:26:40,661
the CFTC there is a

2819
01:26:42,011 --> 01:26:42,261
designation or supposed

2820
01:26:43,544 --> 01:26:43,794
designation for five

2821
01:26:45,511 --> 01:26:45,761
commissioners but there is only

2822
01:26:47,744 --> 01:26:47,994
one and there has been as a

2823
01:26:49,844 --> 01:26:50,094
factual matter an ongoing

2824
01:26:50,411 --> 01:26:50,661
rulemaking process

2825
01:26:53,477 --> 01:26:53,727
that he has moved forward with

2826
01:26:54,444 --> 01:26:54,694
and you know there's

2827
01:26:56,177 --> 01:26:56,427
different views about the

2828
01:26:57,711 --> 01:26:57,961
legality of that the

2829
01:26:59,511 --> 01:26:59,761
appropriateness of all of that

2830
01:27:00,177 --> 01:27:00,427
but that is in fact the case

2831
01:27:02,011 --> 01:27:02,261
that he's moving forward with a

2832
01:27:05,711 --> 01:27:05,961
a rulemaking that by all

2833
01:27:08,211 --> 01:27:08,461
accounts is very very

2834
01:27:11,511 --> 01:27:11,761
supportive of the positions of

2835
01:27:12,177 --> 01:27:12,427
these prediction market

2836
01:27:13,477 --> 01:27:13,727
companies who seek to offer

2837
01:27:15,744 --> 01:27:15,994
sports prediction contracts and

2838
01:27:17,844 --> 01:27:18,094
again fundamentally that can

2839
01:27:20,244 --> 01:27:20,494
that proceeds as it proceeds and

2840
01:27:21,977 --> 01:27:22,227
we in Nevada can only can

2841
01:27:23,944 --> 01:27:24,194
control what we can control but

2842
01:27:25,944 --> 01:27:26,194
the reality is is that it's it's

2843
01:27:29,511 --> 01:27:29,761
sports betting the outcome of

2844
01:27:31,977 --> 01:27:32,227
the the nicks and the Pacers is

2845
01:27:33,977 --> 01:27:34,227
not an investment it's an enter

2846
01:27:34,677 --> 01:27:34,927
it's a piece of entertainment

2847
01:27:40,177 --> 01:27:40,427
and we have regulated

2848
01:27:43,511 --> 01:27:43,761
this space successfully you

2849
01:27:44,211 --> 01:27:44,461
know in some form or fashion for

2850
01:27:44,911 --> 01:27:45,161
over70 years

2851
01:27:47,977 --> 01:27:48,227
and the other thing that I'll

2852
01:27:49,877 --> 01:27:50,127
say too that I said many times

2853
01:27:50,544 --> 01:27:50,794
publicly is

2854
01:27:53,911 --> 01:27:54,161
regulation is a key cornerstone

2855
01:27:57,511 --> 01:27:57,761
to the ability of the industry

2856
01:27:58,177 --> 01:27:58,427
to thrive because they know they

2857
01:28:00,177 --> 01:28:00,427
have certainty they know they

2858
01:28:01,977 --> 01:28:02,227
have fairness all of the things

2859
01:28:04,211 --> 01:28:04,461
that you need as a foundational

2860
01:28:07,744 --> 01:28:07,994
element to support this great

2861
01:28:10,177 --> 01:28:10,427
gaming industry of ours and

2862
01:28:12,277 --> 01:28:12,527
when what we see is what I have

2863
01:28:15,044 --> 01:28:15,294
come to call regulation by tweet

2864
01:28:17,977 --> 01:28:18,227
where there are

2865
01:28:19,977 --> 01:28:20,227
pronouncements on social media

2866
01:28:22,244 --> 01:28:22,494
about today we care about this

2867
01:28:24,011 --> 01:28:24,261
and today we care about minors

2868
01:28:25,977 --> 01:28:26,227
gambling and today we care about

2869
01:28:27,744 --> 01:28:27,994
know your customer. well these

2870
01:28:28,344 --> 01:28:28,594
are things that we've been

2871
01:28:30,444 --> 01:28:30,694
caring about and have worked on

2872
01:28:31,977 --> 01:28:32,227
and have knowledge and have

2873
01:28:33,977 --> 01:28:34,227
successfully regulated for more

2874
01:28:36,211 --> 01:28:36,461
than you know se decades right?

2875
01:28:40,244 --> 01:28:40,494
So that is just not enough

2876
01:28:41,977 --> 01:28:42,227
and then as Mr York pointed out

2877
01:28:43,811 --> 01:28:44,061
just the staffing levels that

2878
01:28:44,477 --> 01:28:44,727
you see at the CFTc they just

2879
01:28:45,177 --> 01:28:45,427
don't

2880
01:28:48,511 --> 01:28:48,761
have the people or the expertise

2881
01:28:49,511 --> 01:28:49,761
and think that that you know

2882
01:28:51,511 --> 01:28:51,761
they say they're working on it

2883
01:28:53,511 --> 01:28:53,761
but that's it's a major concern

2884
01:28:55,744 --> 01:28:55,994
and from our perspective you can

2885
01:28:59,711 --> 01:28:59,961
be consumer friendly which as

2886
01:29:01,511 --> 01:29:01,761
regulators we are but also

2887
01:29:02,211 --> 01:29:02,461
engage in consumer protection

2888
01:29:05,511 --> 01:29:05,761
and so the idea is that you know

2889
01:29:07,477 --> 01:29:07,727
you have to have all of these

2890
01:29:09,477 --> 01:29:09,727
things which combine to make for

2891
01:29:11,977 --> 01:29:12,227
a robust regulatory system which

2892
01:29:13,777 --> 01:29:14,027
some have expressed significant

2893
01:29:14,477 --> 01:29:14,727
concern that the CFc currently

2894
01:29:15,144 --> 01:29:15,394
doesn't offer

2895
01:29:17,811 --> 01:29:18,061
with their one commissioner and

2896
01:29:18,511 --> 01:29:18,761
their very limited staff

2897
01:29:23,744 --> 01:29:23,994
Thank you. I've got so many

2898
01:29:24,544 --> 01:29:24,794
questions but I will not ask all

2899
01:29:26,011 --> 01:29:26,261
of them right now but I do have

2900
01:29:29,511 --> 01:29:29,761
two more if I may does that

2901
01:29:31,511 --> 01:29:31,761
individual who is currently the

2902
01:29:33,777 --> 01:29:34,027
only employ the only individual

2903
01:29:35,777 --> 01:29:36,027
on the board and or other

2904
01:29:37,744 --> 01:29:37,994
employees of the commission they

2905
01:29:40,244 --> 01:29:40,494
have to file an ethics item

2906
01:29:42,277 --> 01:29:42,527
as to if they're currently

2907
01:29:44,244 --> 01:29:44,494
working with any organizations

2908
01:29:46,044 --> 01:29:46,294
which I believe the the Nevada

2909
01:29:48,011 --> 01:29:48,261
Gamingtrol board has had to do

2910
01:29:49,544 --> 01:29:49,794
like if you have any sort of

2911
01:29:50,111 --> 01:29:50,361
other relationships

2912
01:29:53,844 --> 01:29:54,094
with anything which I don't

2913
01:29:54,377 --> 01:29:54,627
think anybody does at this time

2914
01:29:55,077 --> 01:29:55,327
but

2915
01:29:58,011 --> 01:29:58,261
does the commodities' future

2916
01:30:00,011 --> 01:30:00,261
do they have to file anything to

2917
01:30:01,744 --> 01:30:01,994
say that they've worked in this

2918
01:30:03,511 --> 01:30:03,761
area or who they are currently

2919
01:30:04,711 --> 01:30:04,961
working with or if they have

2920
01:30:05,311 --> 01:30:05,561
stock in any of these companies.

2921
01:30:08,244 --> 01:30:08,494
well what I'll say is as you

2922
01:30:11,511 --> 01:30:11,761
pointed out quite correctly as a

2923
01:30:12,244 --> 01:30:12,494
state official myself and other

2924
01:30:14,011 --> 01:30:14,261
state officials we have a very

2925
01:30:16,511 --> 01:30:16,761
extensive ethics filing

2926
01:30:18,277 --> 01:30:18,527
that's required even more so in

2927
01:30:20,311 --> 01:30:20,561
terms of from the perspective of

2928
01:30:21,777 --> 01:30:22,027
the gaming control board in

2929
01:30:23,977 --> 01:30:24,227
terms of holding of gaming

2930
01:30:26,311 --> 01:30:26,561
stocks and you know or the

2931
01:30:28,011 --> 01:30:28,261
inability to do that in my

2932
01:30:29,744 --> 01:30:29,994
position the inability to

2933
01:30:32,011 --> 01:30:32,261
wager all those things right? I

2934
01:30:34,277 --> 01:30:34,527
cannot speak with any type of

2935
01:30:34,977 --> 01:30:35,227
authority as to what the ethics

2936
01:30:38,011 --> 01:30:38,261
requirements are for the CFTc

2937
01:30:42,244 --> 01:30:42,494
happy to as a point of of of

2938
01:30:44,244 --> 01:30:44,494
order or fact get back to you

2939
01:30:46,244 --> 01:30:46,494
on that but from my perspective

2940
01:30:47,777 --> 01:30:48,027
I could not speak with authority

2941
01:30:49,511 --> 01:30:49,761
on that but I can't say that

2942
01:30:51,511 --> 01:30:51,761
it's an important part of what

2943
01:30:53,544 --> 01:30:53,794
we do to maintain our

2944
01:30:55,511 --> 01:30:55,761
independence in this process and

2945
01:30:56,277 --> 01:30:56,527
make sure we have all of the

2946
01:30:58,311 --> 01:30:58,561
ethical boxes checked in

2947
01:30:59,511 --> 01:30:59,761
accordance with state law and

2948
01:31:01,777 --> 01:31:02,027
even frankly go above and beyond

2949
01:31:03,777 --> 01:31:04,027
that to make sure that the

2950
01:31:04,644 --> 01:31:04,894
public can be confident that the

2951
01:31:05,311 --> 01:31:05,561
decision

2952
01:31:08,277 --> 01:31:08,527
s that we make in regulating the

2953
01:31:10,277 --> 01:31:10,527
industry are done in such a way

2954
01:31:12,244 --> 01:31:12,494
that they're evenhanded and fair

2955
01:31:14,111 --> 01:31:14,361
and are not subject to undue

2956
01:31:14,777 --> 01:31:15,027
influence.

2957
01:31:17,744 --> 01:31:17,994
thank you so much and thank you

2958
01:31:19,511 --> 01:31:19,761
for making that very clear about

2959
01:31:21,744 --> 01:31:21,994
the Nevada Gaming Commission and

2960
01:31:22,477 --> 01:31:22,727
the ethics that in a high

2961
01:31:24,077 --> 01:31:24,327
standard that you all have to

2962
01:31:25,777 --> 01:31:26,027
follow both the control board

2963
01:31:26,411 --> 01:31:26,661
and the commission at both

2964
01:31:28,311 --> 01:31:28,561
levels we are very high

2965
01:31:30,011 --> 01:31:30,261
standards in that way yes thank

2966
01:31:32,277 --> 01:31:32,527
you and my last question if I

2967
01:31:34,277 --> 01:31:34,527
may chair again I do I see the

2968
01:31:36,011 --> 01:31:36,261
commercials that's about the

2969
01:31:37,744 --> 01:31:37,994
extent of my knowledge of these

2970
01:31:39,977 --> 01:31:40,227
of these prediction markets are

2971
01:31:42,011 --> 01:31:42,261
these prediction markets usually

2972
01:31:44,044 --> 01:31:44,294
owned by a corporation that is

2973
01:31:44,744 --> 01:31:44,994
that has stock or is it

2974
01:31:49,477 --> 01:31:49,727
usually privately owned or how

2975
01:31:50,244 --> 01:31:50,494
exact where where are they

2976
01:31:52,011 --> 01:31:52,261
licensed through is it done

2977
01:31:53,811 --> 01:31:54,061
through a state I I'm just I'm

2978
01:31:56,277 --> 01:31:56,527
confused as to how there's

2979
01:31:58,244 --> 01:31:58,494
actually the corporation

2980
01:32:00,111 --> 01:32:00,361
licenger and taxation.

2981
01:32:03,877 --> 01:32:04,127
as well that goes through that

2982
01:32:04,544 --> 01:32:04,794
so

2983
01:32:07,777 --> 01:32:08,027
they they many of them are

2984
01:32:09,511 --> 01:32:09,761
are private companies which

2985
01:32:11,977 --> 01:32:12,227
obviously reduces the amount

2986
01:32:15,477 --> 01:32:15,727
of you know visibility into

2987
01:32:16,111 --> 01:32:16,361
their conduct and their

2988
01:32:16,677 --> 01:32:16,927
activities

2989
01:32:19,744 --> 01:32:19,994
so many of them them are private

2990
01:32:20,477 --> 01:32:20,727
I suppose they could be public

2991
01:32:23,511 --> 01:32:23,761
as well and they are

2992
01:32:26,011 --> 01:32:26,261
ostensibly regulated by the

2993
01:32:28,244 --> 01:32:28,494
CFTc which again from our

2994
01:32:31,744 --> 01:32:31,994
perspective makes sense and for

2995
01:32:32,477 --> 01:32:32,727
years and years this

2996
01:32:34,011 --> 01:32:34,261
conversation didn't have to

2997
01:32:35,744 --> 01:32:35,994
happen because everybody knew

2998
01:32:37,744 --> 01:32:37,994
and sort of acted appropriately

2999
01:32:39,711 --> 01:32:39,961
in terms of what the lines were

3000
01:32:41,744 --> 01:32:41,994
economic hedges through

3001
01:32:43,744 --> 01:32:43,994
things like interest rates

3002
01:32:45,877 --> 01:32:46,127
and soybean prices and and corn

3003
01:32:46,544 --> 01:32:46,794
and those sorts of things that's

3004
01:32:47,244 --> 01:32:47,494
what

3005
01:32:49,711 --> 01:32:49,961
this has been for many years

3006
01:32:50,444 --> 01:32:50,694
until all of us and and even the

3007
01:32:52,211 --> 01:32:52,461
the CFTc had said so and even

3008
01:32:54,244 --> 01:32:54,494
Calci had said so until all of a

3009
01:32:55,744 --> 01:32:55,994
sudden within the last eight

3010
01:32:56,377 --> 01:32:56,627
months they said well no

3011
01:32:59,511 --> 01:32:59,761
and there's absolutely as I

3012
01:33:01,744 --> 01:33:01,994
indicated in my testimony no

3013
01:33:03,511 --> 01:33:03,761
evidence to suggest that

3014
01:33:05,511 --> 01:33:05,761
Congress spoke plainly on this

3015
01:33:07,744 --> 01:33:07,994
there's there's a saying that

3016
01:33:08,377 --> 01:33:08,627
you know you can't hide an

3017
01:33:10,277 --> 01:33:10,527
elephant in a mouse hole right

3018
01:33:12,277 --> 01:33:12,527
and so that the case here is

3019
01:33:14,044 --> 01:33:14,294
that there's no evidence that

3020
01:33:14,644 --> 01:33:14,894
the federal government on any

3021
01:33:15,344 --> 01:33:15,594
level

3022
01:33:18,211 --> 01:33:18,461
would have allowed them to take

3023
01:33:21,744 --> 01:33:21,994
these contracts for sports

3024
01:33:23,977 --> 01:33:24,227
prediction right? if anything

3025
01:33:25,977 --> 01:33:26,227
what Murphy the case Murphy I

3026
01:33:27,511 --> 01:33:27,761
cited shows it's quite the

3027
01:33:29,744 --> 01:33:29,994
opposite and so we feel really

3028
01:33:31,477 --> 01:33:31,727
strongly about our legal opinion

3029
01:33:32,211 --> 01:33:32,461
our legal position.

3030
01:33:33,777 --> 01:33:34,027
obviouslybviously that's in the

3031
01:33:35,777 --> 01:33:36,027
courts and to Senator Donate's

3032
01:33:37,511 --> 01:33:37,761
point you know when I took the

3033
01:33:38,177 --> 01:33:38,427
job I

3034
01:33:41,744 --> 01:33:41,994
there's an element to this

3035
01:33:43,511 --> 01:33:43,761
obviously I can't talk about

3036
01:33:44,111 --> 01:33:44,361
because we have multiple

3037
01:33:45,777 --> 01:33:46,027
litigations going at once. how

3038
01:33:48,144 --> 01:33:48,394
I do need to have the

3039
01:33:48,644 --> 01:33:48,894
discussion about

3040
01:33:51,777 --> 01:33:52,027
public policy and I do need to

3041
01:33:53,744 --> 01:33:53,994
have the general discussion of

3042
01:33:55,477 --> 01:33:55,727
why this is so wrong and why

3043
01:33:56,444 --> 01:33:56,694
this can't stand and why it's an

3044
01:33:58,211 --> 01:33:58,461
existential threat. I have to do

3045
01:34:01,511 --> 01:34:01,761
that in my job and can't

3046
01:34:02,211 --> 01:34:02,461
just hide behind this notion

3047
01:34:03,977 --> 01:34:04,227
that well we're in litigation I

3048
01:34:05,477 --> 01:34:05,727
can't talk about it there are

3049
01:34:06,177 --> 01:34:06,427
certain elements of this that I

3050
01:34:08,011 --> 01:34:08,261
can talk about and I have talked

3051
01:34:08,711 --> 01:34:08,961
about it and I know we'll

3052
01:34:09,777 --> 01:34:10,027
continue to talk about it and to

3053
01:34:11,777 --> 01:34:12,027
your earlier question assembly

3054
01:34:14,011 --> 01:34:14,261
member Anderson around education

3055
01:34:16,011 --> 01:34:16,261
very important that we

3056
01:34:18,377 --> 01:34:18,627
educate the the the state

3057
01:34:18,944 --> 01:34:19,194
legislature other state legis

3058
01:34:21,744 --> 01:34:21,994
la ture s the public so they

3059
01:34:23,511 --> 01:34:23,761
understand the dangers of all of

3060
01:34:25,744 --> 01:34:25,994
this it isn't just as harmless

3061
01:34:28,011 --> 01:34:28,261
fun idea of hey you can now do

3062
01:34:30,011 --> 01:34:30,261
sports betting in5 state this is

3063
01:34:33,744 --> 01:34:33,994
hurting people this is taking

3064
01:34:35,711 --> 01:34:35,961
students who otherwise would

3065
01:34:36,377 --> 01:34:36,627
spend money on their tuition

3066
01:34:39,877 --> 01:34:40,127
and this is having them apply

3067
01:34:40,544 --> 01:34:40,794
that to to betting

3068
01:34:43,711 --> 01:34:43,961
on on a on an exchange and

3069
01:34:45,977 --> 01:34:46,227
you know I will say this back to

3070
01:34:48,011 --> 01:34:48,261
your question senator donate

3071
01:34:50,211 --> 01:34:50,461
you know this is a story that

3072
01:34:50,811 --> 01:34:51,061
has many more chapters to

3073
01:34:51,377 --> 01:34:51,627
unfold.

3074
01:34:55,511 --> 01:34:55,761
again right now we're focused on

3075
01:34:57,711 --> 01:34:57,961
where I can proudly sit before

3076
01:34:58,411 --> 01:34:58,661
you and say that we have

3077
01:35:00,211 --> 01:35:00,461
restricted this conduct in the

3078
01:35:02,011 --> 01:35:02,261
state of nevada and if new

3079
01:35:03,744 --> 01:35:03,994
actors come along we're gonna

3080
01:35:04,444 --> 01:35:04,694
take them on to game of whack a

3081
01:35:06,011 --> 01:35:06,261
mole in a way right because they

3082
01:35:07,511 --> 01:35:07,761
can come from any which

3083
01:35:09,744 --> 01:35:09,994
direction but there are many

3084
01:35:11,511 --> 01:35:11,761
more chapters in here one of

3085
01:35:13,511 --> 01:35:13,761
which you know may include the

3086
01:35:15,511 --> 01:35:15,761
things that you mentioned

3087
01:35:16,477 --> 01:35:16,727
disgorgement other things that

3088
01:35:17,744 --> 01:35:17,994
could potentially happen down

3089
01:35:19,744 --> 01:35:19,994
the road right so a lot of

3090
01:35:21,711 --> 01:35:21,961
chapters there were still in

3091
01:35:22,377 --> 01:35:22,627
what I would consider to be the

3092
01:35:23,044 --> 01:35:23,294
early

3093
01:35:23,777 --> 01:35:24,027
stage of this thing but

3094
01:35:27,977 --> 01:35:28,227
conclusively when the patrons

3095
01:35:31,511 --> 01:35:31,761
go to wager at the first week of

3096
01:35:32,211 --> 01:35:32,461
the NFl season which is

3097
01:35:33,977 --> 01:35:34,227
historically one of the largest

3098
01:35:38,011 --> 01:35:38,261
handle weekends of the the

3099
01:35:40,011 --> 01:35:40,261
year they will do so with

3100
01:35:42,244 --> 01:35:42,494
confidence and and with the

3101
01:35:44,344 --> 01:35:44,594
inability to do these prediction

3102
01:35:45,044 --> 01:35:45,294
contracts for the reasons stated

3103
01:35:48,277 --> 01:35:48,527
so

3104
01:35:51,677 --> 01:35:51,927
thank you for that. So I will

3105
01:35:52,377 --> 01:35:52,627
ask the I guess

3106
01:35:54,511 --> 01:35:54,761
final two questions and close

3107
01:35:55,744 --> 01:35:55,994
out this presentation so the

3108
01:35:57,711 --> 01:35:57,961
first question it's fairly

3109
01:35:58,344 --> 01:35:58,594
simple. the second one is more

3110
01:36:00,277 --> 01:36:00,527
like a legal thought question

3111
01:36:02,244 --> 01:36:02,494
cause I'm just super curious but

3112
01:36:03,977 --> 01:36:04,227
it's between that second

3113
01:36:06,011 --> 01:36:06,261
question would be between you

3114
01:36:07,744 --> 01:36:07,994
and Mr Yorke. so the first

3115
01:36:10,277 --> 01:36:10,527
question is if if a if a current

3116
01:36:13,511 --> 01:36:13,761
corporation is currently in a

3117
01:36:14,277 --> 01:36:14,527
contract with one of these

3118
01:36:17,777 --> 01:36:18,027
actors right and making money

3119
01:36:18,377 --> 01:36:18,627
post the decision

3120
01:36:23,511 --> 01:36:23,761
what how how would that

3121
01:36:26,011 --> 01:36:26,261
information be shared how

3122
01:36:26,577 --> 01:36:26,827
would that information because

3123
01:36:29,977 --> 01:36:30,227
I don't wanna out anyone but I

3124
01:36:31,711 --> 01:36:31,961
literally had a conversation

3125
01:36:33,744 --> 01:36:33,994
like a week and a half ago where

3126
01:36:35,511 --> 01:36:35,761
there was a corporation that

3127
01:36:36,377 --> 01:36:36,627
currently has a contract with

3128
01:36:37,044 --> 01:36:37,294
Polymarket.

3129
01:36:39,744 --> 01:36:39,994
and they're currently doing

3130
01:36:41,511 --> 01:36:41,761
business and making revenue with

3131
01:36:43,711 --> 01:36:43,961
polymarket and I was just like

3132
01:36:45,511 --> 01:36:45,761
how is that possible right

3133
01:36:48,211 --> 01:36:48,461
because it it had been had been

3134
01:36:49,677 --> 01:36:49,927
for more than a year

3135
01:36:55,477 --> 01:36:55,727
Yes, and and I well let me just

3136
01:36:56,211 --> 01:36:56,461
say that senatorneal I I

3137
01:36:57,711 --> 01:36:57,961
certainly share those

3138
01:36:59,511 --> 01:36:59,761
frustrations and we in Nevada

3139
01:37:00,344 --> 01:37:00,594
have been very strong saying

3140
01:37:01,011 --> 01:37:01,261
that

3141
01:37:03,977 --> 01:37:04,227
to participate with those

3142
01:37:05,977 --> 01:37:06,227
companies and and and we we

3143
01:37:07,944 --> 01:37:08,194
regulate our licensees right and

3144
01:37:09,711 --> 01:37:09,961
to participate with those

3145
01:37:11,677 --> 01:37:11,927
companies renders one

3146
01:37:14,177 --> 01:37:14,427
incompatible to participate in

3147
01:37:15,711 --> 01:37:15,961
Nevada's gaming industry. we've

3148
01:37:17,711 --> 01:37:17,961
said that but there's only so

3149
01:37:19,711 --> 01:37:19,961
many things that we can control

3150
01:37:20,444 --> 01:37:20,694
it is frustrating to see

3151
01:37:24,244 --> 01:37:24,494
sports leagues sports teams

3152
01:37:27,477 --> 01:37:27,727
enter into these arrangements

3153
01:37:28,211 --> 01:37:28,461
these financial arrangements

3154
01:37:30,444 --> 01:37:30,694
they do so under the the color

3155
01:37:32,211 --> 01:37:32,461
of this pending litigation

3156
01:37:35,844 --> 01:37:36,094
which obviously we disagree with

3157
01:37:36,577 --> 01:37:36,827
that point of view

3158
01:37:39,744 --> 01:37:39,994
it's you know a

3159
01:37:40,244 --> 01:37:40,494
financiallyd driven decision

3160
01:37:42,211 --> 01:37:42,461
that of course I fully disagree

3161
01:37:44,111 --> 01:37:44,361
with and now you know

3162
01:37:47,477 --> 01:37:47,727
look it the matter is going

3163
01:37:49,511 --> 01:37:49,761
through the courts and you know

3164
01:37:50,244 --> 01:37:50,494
I would expect at some point

3165
01:37:51,977 --> 01:37:52,227
there'll be a reckoning related

3166
01:37:53,977 --> 01:37:54,227
to that but in terms of what we

3167
01:37:56,344 --> 01:37:56,594
can control now those things

3168
01:37:56,944 --> 01:37:57,194
happen and they

3169
01:38:01,477 --> 01:38:01,727
they hide behind high priced

3170
01:38:03,744 --> 01:38:03,994
legal opinions frankly now I'll

3171
01:38:05,977 --> 01:38:06,227
say this to you know you can you

3172
01:38:07,977 --> 01:38:08,227
know they get these high pressed

3173
01:38:10,244 --> 01:38:10,494
legal opinions but when you read

3174
01:38:12,044 --> 01:38:12,294
the penal codes of the states

3175
01:38:13,777 --> 01:38:14,027
that don't allow gambling or you

3176
01:38:15,744 --> 01:38:15,994
read our code which allows

3177
01:38:17,777 --> 01:38:18,027
gambling only under a licensed

3178
01:38:20,011 --> 01:38:20,261
circumstance those are the laws

3179
01:38:21,744 --> 01:38:21,994
so we have laws that must be

3180
01:38:22,511 --> 01:38:22,761
followed so I fully agree with

3181
01:38:24,244 --> 01:38:24,494
you. I share your frustration

3182
01:38:25,677 --> 01:38:25,927
but in many instances

3183
01:38:27,711 --> 01:38:27,961
entities within corporate

3184
01:38:31,511 --> 01:38:31,761
America are you know relying on

3185
01:38:32,244 --> 01:38:32,494
these these opinions and relying

3186
01:38:34,211 --> 01:38:34,461
on this uncertainty which I hope

3187
01:38:37,744 --> 01:38:37,994
and expect given the law that

3188
01:38:39,511 --> 01:38:39,761
will be will be settled here but

3189
01:38:40,211 --> 01:38:40,461
there's no more satisfying

3190
01:38:41,744 --> 01:38:41,994
answer than that at this stage

3191
01:38:43,711 --> 01:38:43,961
but it's a concern and we in

3192
01:38:45,711 --> 01:38:45,961
Nevada regulating our

3193
01:38:47,977 --> 01:38:48,227
licensees, making gaming safe

3194
01:38:49,744 --> 01:38:49,994
for the state of Nevada and the

3195
01:38:50,477 --> 01:38:50,727
patrons in the state of Nevada

3196
01:38:52,011 --> 01:38:52,261
we do all we can within our

3197
01:38:54,244 --> 01:38:54,494
borders there's other

3198
01:38:55,644 --> 01:38:55,894
discussions with other stateser

3199
01:38:58,311 --> 01:38:58,561
if asked my opinion nationwide I

3200
01:39:00,011 --> 01:39:00,261
will give it and have given it

3201
01:39:01,777 --> 01:39:02,027
but other states have different

3202
01:39:04,011 --> 01:39:04,261
pressures different approaches

3203
01:39:06,011 --> 01:39:06,261
and we do what we can to keep as

3204
01:39:07,977 --> 01:39:08,227
I say the state of Nevada the

3205
01:39:08,644 --> 01:39:08,894
streets are clean these

3206
01:39:09,211 --> 01:39:09,461
companies are out

3207
01:39:15,944 --> 01:39:16,194
thank you for that and so here's

3208
01:39:17,977 --> 01:39:18,227
here's more of the I guess legal

3209
01:39:19,977 --> 01:39:20,227
thought question so when you

3210
01:39:21,511 --> 01:39:21,761
were doing the presentation and

3211
01:39:24,177 --> 01:39:24,427
also Mr York basically a

3212
01:39:25,977 --> 01:39:26,227
couple of statements were made

3213
01:39:27,711 --> 01:39:27,961
the statement from you which is

3214
01:39:29,977 --> 01:39:30,227
you know it's pretty clear that

3215
01:39:33,744 --> 01:39:33,994
the state's govern gambling

3216
01:39:36,211 --> 01:39:36,461
right and so Congress has opened

3217
01:39:36,911 --> 01:39:37,161
that door

3218
01:39:40,211 --> 01:39:40,461
and then the second comment that

3219
01:39:41,977 --> 01:39:42,227
Mr. York had brought up which

3220
01:39:43,777 --> 01:39:44,027
was one of the examples I don't

3221
01:39:45,744 --> 01:39:45,994
know if it was Kentucky or

3222
01:39:49,711 --> 01:39:49,961
arizona who then was sued by

3223
01:39:52,211 --> 01:39:52,461
the CFTC right so then it made

3224
01:39:53,977 --> 01:39:54,227
me start asking the question

3225
01:39:56,211 --> 01:39:56,461
whether or not if the state

3226
01:39:59,977 --> 01:40:00,227
itself would sued or parties

3227
01:40:01,977 --> 01:40:02,227
because you know I started

3228
01:40:03,977 --> 01:40:04,227
thinking about two things,

3229
01:40:06,611 --> 01:40:06,861
right? The Murphy decision right

3230
01:40:07,244 --> 01:40:07,494
and what

3231
01:40:11,744 --> 01:40:11,994
was listed in alito's comments

3232
01:40:13,477 --> 01:40:13,727
around when he was laying out

3233
01:40:14,411 --> 01:40:14,661
pasta and how pastpa works and

3234
01:40:17,977 --> 01:40:18,227
and one of the like clear

3235
01:40:19,777 --> 01:40:20,027
statements that he had put in

3236
01:40:23,511 --> 01:40:23,761
the opinion was that the

3237
01:40:25,511 --> 01:40:25,761
constitution confers upon

3238
01:40:27,744 --> 01:40:27,994
Congress the power to regulate

3239
01:40:28,477 --> 01:40:28,727
individuals not states right?

3240
01:40:31,677 --> 01:40:31,927
and then I started to read

3241
01:40:35,977 --> 01:40:36,227
you know the chevron ruling

3242
01:40:37,944 --> 01:40:38,194
which basically was overturned

3243
01:40:41,944 --> 01:40:42,194
by loper right which then in

3244
01:40:45,711 --> 01:40:45,961
that decision they in loper

3245
01:40:46,244 --> 01:40:46,494
decision they said the court

3246
01:40:50,211 --> 01:40:50,461
held that when confronted

3247
01:40:50,777 --> 01:40:51,027
with statutory ambiguity.

3248
01:40:55,511 --> 01:40:55,761
a court should not defer to an

3249
01:40:57,711 --> 01:40:57,961
agency's interpretation but

3250
01:40:59,777 --> 01:41:00,027
should do the ordinary job of

3251
01:41:01,677 --> 01:41:01,927
interpreting statutes right

3252
01:41:04,244 --> 01:41:04,494
so when I was thinking about

3253
01:41:06,277 --> 01:41:06,527
those two pieces together right

3254
01:41:08,244 --> 01:41:08,494
there appears to be some kind of

3255
01:41:10,111 --> 01:41:10,361
reconciliation that needs to

3256
01:41:10,677 --> 01:41:10,927
happen

3257
01:41:13,944 --> 01:41:14,194
because I started thinking

3258
01:41:14,511 --> 01:41:14,761
about

3259
01:41:14,761 --> 01:41:15,011
the

3260
01:41:17,977 --> 01:41:18,227
comments that were made on

3261
01:41:21,511 --> 01:41:21,761
CFTC's rule right so I was I was

3262
01:41:24,211 --> 01:41:24,461
it I was I was provided a few

3263
01:41:26,211 --> 01:41:26,461
weeks back on what NRA's

3264
01:41:29,977 --> 01:41:30,227
comments were to seeFCFTc's

3265
01:41:31,977 --> 01:41:32,227
rules and the comments that were

3266
01:41:35,477 --> 01:41:35,727
made around

3267
01:41:37,477 --> 01:41:37,727
that I it would seem I don't

3268
01:41:38,444 --> 01:41:38,694
know if it would be ambiguity of

3269
01:41:39,677 --> 01:41:39,927
the rule or just plain out

3270
01:41:44,277 --> 01:41:44,527
ignoring reality of what they

3271
01:41:46,077 --> 01:41:46,327
should be really ruling on right

3272
01:41:49,977 --> 01:41:50,227
and so I started to wonder have

3273
01:41:51,711 --> 01:41:51,961
those arguments and you probably

3274
01:41:53,477 --> 01:41:53,727
can't even say that but have

3275
01:41:55,511 --> 01:41:55,761
those arguments been made about

3276
01:41:58,377 --> 01:41:58,627
whether or not the CFTC is

3277
01:41:58,944 --> 01:41:59,194
overstepping

3278
01:42:02,511 --> 01:42:02,761
now with the loper decision

3279
01:42:03,777 --> 01:42:04,027
right which pretty much

3280
01:42:05,777 --> 01:42:06,027
overruled Chevron. they no

3281
01:42:07,511 --> 01:42:07,761
longer in the position of of

3282
01:42:09,511 --> 01:42:09,761
having the power to just say you

3283
01:42:12,011 --> 01:42:12,261
know as an agency under this1984

3284
01:42:14,544 --> 01:42:14,794
decision I can therefore say xy

3285
01:42:17,977 --> 01:42:18,227
and z because pretty much it was

3286
01:42:20,077 --> 01:42:20,327
removed with the loafer decision

3287
01:42:20,744 --> 01:42:20,994
so

3288
01:42:24,244 --> 01:42:24,494
what what has there been any

3289
01:42:26,111 --> 01:42:26,361
conversation around that nuanced

3290
01:42:26,744 --> 01:42:26,994
point

3291
01:42:31,511 --> 01:42:31,761
around the CFTC's ruling and and

3292
01:42:33,744 --> 01:42:33,994
it's and reconciling what the

3293
01:42:35,944 --> 01:42:36,194
loper decision pretty much said

3294
01:42:38,077 --> 01:42:38,327
right? I mean that's what I want

3295
01:42:38,777 --> 01:42:39,027
to know

3296
01:42:40,144 --> 01:42:40,394
in a long way getting there

3297
01:42:43,811 --> 01:42:44,061
and then I'll probably pivot to

3298
01:42:44,511 --> 01:42:44,761
the pasta thing too.

3299
01:42:50,011 --> 01:42:50,261
well senator that to your

3300
01:42:51,744 --> 01:42:51,994
comments a moment ago I have to

3301
01:42:53,744 --> 01:42:53,994
be a little bit careful but what

3302
01:42:55,477 --> 01:42:55,727
I will say is you know the

3303
01:42:58,211 --> 01:42:58,461
state of Nevada the has

3304
01:43:00,311 --> 01:43:00,561
has been working with Mayorrown

3305
01:43:01,011 --> 01:43:01,261
law firm

3306
01:43:02,677 --> 01:43:02,927
and

3307
01:43:06,277 --> 01:43:06,527
obviously the NRA hasn't been

3308
01:43:09,511 --> 01:43:09,761
been put in the case as well and

3309
01:43:10,244 --> 01:43:10,494
they are represented bymcdonald

3310
01:43:13,977 --> 01:43:14,227
Carrano and we have so between

3311
01:43:16,211 --> 01:43:16,461
all of this in terms of Nevada's

3312
01:43:18,011 --> 01:43:18,261
interests and then the interests

3313
01:43:18,677 --> 01:43:18,927
of NRA

3314
01:43:23,511 --> 01:43:23,761
excellent counsel and I can

3315
01:43:25,744 --> 01:43:25,994
assure you that every single

3316
01:43:28,144 --> 01:43:28,394
argument that needs to be

3317
01:43:28,711 --> 01:43:28,961
brought forth is being brought

3318
01:43:29,377 --> 01:43:29,627
forth

3319
01:43:30,744 --> 01:43:30,994
and we are aggressively

3320
01:43:34,577 --> 01:43:34,827
making sure that all of the

3321
01:43:35,177 --> 01:43:35,427
angles that

3322
01:43:38,477 --> 01:43:38,727
need to be brought forth and

3323
01:43:40,011 --> 01:43:40,261
considered are being considered

3324
01:43:41,611 --> 01:43:41,861
probably about as much as I

3325
01:43:42,177 --> 01:43:42,427
should say on that

3326
01:43:50,177 --> 01:43:50,427
thank you for that. I just it's

3327
01:43:50,844 --> 01:43:51,094
just a squirrely

3328
01:43:53,677 --> 01:43:53,927
world where I guess

3329
01:43:56,377 --> 01:43:56,627
legal principles that you

3330
01:43:56,944 --> 01:43:57,194
believe

3331
01:43:58,244 --> 01:43:58,494
to be sound

3332
01:43:59,977 --> 01:44:00,227
and present

3333
01:44:03,677 --> 01:44:03,927
are then being challenged in it

3334
01:44:04,377 --> 01:44:04,627
in

3335
01:44:04,711 --> 01:44:04,961
and

3336
01:44:09,777 --> 01:44:10,027
leaving everything to some I

3337
01:44:10,377 --> 01:44:10,627
guess obscure

3338
01:44:14,277 --> 01:44:14,527
I would say obscure endings

3339
01:44:16,244 --> 01:44:16,494
right and I guess I guess that's

3340
01:44:17,777 --> 01:44:18,027
currently the environment we're

3341
01:44:19,477 --> 01:44:19,727
in right there are no straight

3342
01:44:20,177 --> 01:44:20,427
paths you're not following a

3343
01:44:20,844 --> 01:44:21,094
yellow brick road you're

3344
01:44:21,377 --> 01:44:21,627
actually following

3345
01:44:27,811 --> 01:44:28,061
agencies that are

3346
01:44:29,511 --> 01:44:29,761
federal agencies that are

3347
01:44:32,277 --> 01:44:32,527
overstepping I think and

3348
01:44:34,377 --> 01:44:34,627
really not thinking about

3349
01:44:38,444 --> 01:44:38,694
the dynamic between federalism

3350
01:44:41,544 --> 01:44:41,794
and how states actually keep a

3351
01:44:42,244 --> 01:44:42,494
certain amount of power

3352
01:44:45,477 --> 01:44:45,727
versus what the federal

3353
01:44:46,244 --> 01:44:46,494
government may want to tell them

3354
01:44:48,044 --> 01:44:48,294
to do but there is a fine line

3355
01:44:50,044 --> 01:44:50,294
and I think that is what the

3356
01:44:52,044 --> 01:44:52,294
Murphy decision kind of set

3357
01:44:54,311 --> 01:44:54,561
forth right they set forth what

3358
01:44:56,344 --> 01:44:56,594
is the relationship between

3359
01:44:59,511 --> 01:44:59,761
states and congre right and they

3360
01:45:01,511 --> 01:45:01,761
really spelled it out you know

3361
01:45:02,311 --> 01:45:02,561
in the Alito decision when he

3362
01:45:04,077 --> 01:45:04,327
really spelled out like he went

3363
01:45:05,777 --> 01:45:06,027
into that whole archaic

3364
01:45:07,511 --> 01:45:07,761
principle around the anti

3365
01:45:08,244 --> 01:45:08,494
commandeering where we were all

3366
01:45:10,277 --> 01:45:10,527
like what is this like why are

3367
01:45:11,877 --> 01:45:12,127
we going back to1868 but he

3368
01:45:12,511 --> 01:45:12,761
literally

3369
01:45:17,511 --> 01:45:17,761
spelled out like what the role

3370
01:45:18,311 --> 01:45:18,561
is between Congress and what is

3371
01:45:20,277 --> 01:45:20,527
the role between states and what

3372
01:45:23,744 --> 01:45:23,994
Congress can force a state to do

3373
01:45:25,811 --> 01:45:26,061
and what they cannot force us to

3374
01:45:27,511 --> 01:45:27,761
do and in this case we have a

3375
01:45:29,844 --> 01:45:30,094
private actor who without the

3376
01:45:30,511 --> 01:45:30,761
consent of the state

3377
01:45:34,011 --> 01:45:34,261
is running around doing business

3378
01:45:35,544 --> 01:45:35,794
in the state of Nevada without

3379
01:45:37,744 --> 01:45:37,994
our consent and we're trying to

3380
01:45:39,777 --> 01:45:40,027
figure out how to how to pull

3381
01:45:41,811 --> 01:45:42,061
that back and how to

3382
01:45:46,011 --> 01:45:46,261
put controls in that need to be

3383
01:45:48,244 --> 01:45:48,494
there and I would say that the

3384
01:45:49,777 --> 01:45:50,027
federal government is not

3385
01:45:51,511 --> 01:45:51,761
necessarily a partner in that

3386
01:45:53,511 --> 01:45:53,761
right that's my opinion which

3387
01:45:54,344 --> 01:45:54,594
which I appreciate and again you

3388
01:45:54,944 --> 01:45:55,194
know

3389
01:45:59,511 --> 01:45:59,761
the the focus from when it

3390
01:46:00,277 --> 01:46:00,527
waschir Hendrick and now myself

3391
01:46:02,477 --> 01:46:02,727
I took over about14 months ago

3392
01:46:04,011 --> 01:46:04,261
stepped right into this and the

3393
01:46:05,677 --> 01:46:05,927
focus the daily focus

3394
01:46:10,044 --> 01:46:10,294
has been to restrict and stop

3395
01:46:10,711 --> 01:46:10,961
this conduct in the state of

3396
01:46:11,377 --> 01:46:11,627
Nevada.

3397
01:46:14,044 --> 01:46:14,294
every day that's that's the

3398
01:46:15,511 --> 01:46:15,761
that's what's on the bulletin

3399
01:46:18,344 --> 01:46:18,594
board to stop it right now we've

3400
01:46:19,044 --> 01:46:19,294
we've achieved that.

3401
01:46:21,777 --> 01:46:22,027
and the matter's gonna keep

3402
01:46:23,811 --> 01:46:24,061
going through the courts. I

3403
01:46:26,344 --> 01:46:26,594
obviously we obviously

3404
01:46:29,511 --> 01:46:29,761
within the board agree with you

3405
01:46:31,977 --> 01:46:32,227
and we actually agree with

3406
01:46:33,511 --> 01:46:33,761
the Earl whatal she had said

3407
01:46:35,811 --> 01:46:36,061
earlier and what the CFTC had

3408
01:46:37,777 --> 01:46:38,027
said earlier which is that

3409
01:46:40,011 --> 01:46:40,261
sports contracts are not

3410
01:46:41,777 --> 01:46:42,027
permissible then all of a sudden

3411
01:46:43,777 --> 01:46:44,027
they change their mind and I go

3412
01:46:45,544 --> 01:46:45,794
back to my earlier comment when

3413
01:46:47,511 --> 01:46:47,761
there was an individual who was

3414
01:46:48,244 --> 01:46:48,494
interviewed who said something

3415
01:46:49,711 --> 01:46:49,961
he's in the he's in the

3416
01:46:50,277 --> 01:46:50,527
prediction market business

3417
01:46:53,777 --> 01:46:54,027
and he said this is an end run

3418
01:46:55,777 --> 01:46:56,027
around sports betting plain and

3419
01:46:57,777 --> 01:46:58,027
simple so we agree with you we

3420
01:47:00,077 --> 01:47:00,327
agree with that that concept

3421
01:47:00,744 --> 01:47:00,994
in terms of

3422
01:47:03,777 --> 01:47:04,027
this issue we're we're

3423
01:47:05,511 --> 01:47:05,761
protecting the state of Nevada

3424
01:47:07,511 --> 01:47:07,761
and the things will keep going

3425
01:47:08,144 --> 01:47:08,394
through the courts but we have

3426
01:47:09,777 --> 01:47:10,027
stopped the conduct which is

3427
01:47:11,511 --> 01:47:11,761
critical and that was no small

3428
01:47:15,477 --> 01:47:15,727
feat. We had to some actors were

3429
01:47:16,511 --> 01:47:16,761
easier to stop than others some

3430
01:47:18,411 --> 01:47:18,661
have been very aggressive and we

3431
01:47:19,077 --> 01:47:19,327
stopped them too

3432
01:47:22,211 --> 01:47:22,461
and so as I said earlier there's

3433
01:47:24,477 --> 01:47:24,727
many more chapters of this

3434
01:47:26,277 --> 01:47:26,527
book but we come before you at a

3435
01:47:28,011 --> 01:47:28,261
point where we've stopped this

3436
01:47:30,244 --> 01:47:30,494
and the legal interpretation

3437
01:47:31,744 --> 01:47:31,994
obviously you can see from our

3438
01:47:33,777 --> 01:47:34,027
filings and our approach that we

3439
01:47:35,511 --> 01:47:35,761
we agree with much of what

3440
01:47:38,044 --> 01:47:38,294
you've said and you know

3441
01:47:39,511 --> 01:47:39,761
we're we're doing the best we

3442
01:47:42,044 --> 01:47:42,294
can within within what what's

3443
01:47:44,211 --> 01:47:44,461
what's happening here we

3444
01:47:46,244 --> 01:47:46,494
definitely disagree with the the

3445
01:47:48,577 --> 01:47:48,827
CFTc's approach on this and

3446
01:47:53,711 --> 01:47:53,961
we will continue to fight there

3447
01:47:56,177 --> 01:47:56,427
may be 24 moredCms which pop up

3448
01:47:56,877 --> 01:47:57,127
tomorrow.

3449
01:47:58,344 --> 01:47:58,594
and we're gonna fight them too

3450
01:48:01,777 --> 01:48:02,027
because that is my commitment to

3451
01:48:03,844 --> 01:48:04,094
to you and and to the state that

3452
01:48:04,511 --> 01:48:04,761
we fight that

3453
01:48:09,511 --> 01:48:09,761
so it it has to unfold so yes I

3454
01:48:10,211 --> 01:48:10,461
agree with what you're saying we

3455
01:48:13,511 --> 01:48:13,761
have kept this completely you

3456
01:48:15,744 --> 01:48:15,994
know to the issue of fairness

3457
01:48:17,711 --> 01:48:17,961
and to the issue of of following

3458
01:48:20,277 --> 01:48:20,527
the law and you know it's our

3459
01:48:23,511 --> 01:48:23,761
expectation that in the end

3460
01:48:25,511 --> 01:48:25,761
the the law will be followed

3461
01:48:27,744 --> 01:48:27,994
it's just a matter of the damage

3462
01:48:28,511 --> 01:48:28,761
that will be done until we get

3463
01:48:29,177 --> 01:48:29,427
there.

3464
01:48:30,677 --> 01:48:30,927
and that's unfortunate

3465
01:48:34,044 --> 01:48:34,294
fairil if I might if I might be

3466
01:48:35,511 --> 01:48:35,761
able to add one more comment to

3467
01:48:37,511 --> 01:48:37,761
piggyback on on on the

3468
01:48:38,011 --> 01:48:38,261
chairman's remarks and to go

3469
01:48:40,011 --> 01:48:40,261
back to what you were saying

3470
01:48:42,011 --> 01:48:42,261
regarding thecFTC being kind of

3471
01:48:44,011 --> 01:48:44,261
a small rogue agency where

3472
01:48:45,777 --> 01:48:46,027
they're now taking this

3473
01:48:47,544 --> 01:48:47,794
authority that was never

3474
01:48:50,011 --> 01:48:50,261
expressly given to them and they

3475
01:48:51,544 --> 01:48:51,794
certainly are not equipped to

3476
01:48:53,511 --> 01:48:53,761
handle it. there actually was a

3477
01:48:56,044 --> 01:48:56,294
recent rebuke in a in a legal

3478
01:48:57,777 --> 01:48:58,027
ruling from a federal district

3479
01:48:59,777 --> 01:49:00,027
judge in a case that that came

3480
01:49:00,444 --> 01:49:00,694
out of Connecticut and

3481
01:49:03,611 --> 01:49:03,861
I think you will find it

3482
01:49:05,511 --> 01:49:05,761
extraordinary as I did that

3483
01:49:06,311 --> 01:49:06,561
there there have been two cases

3484
01:49:08,244 --> 01:49:08,494
recently one in Michigan and one

3485
01:49:09,744 --> 01:49:09,994
in the state of New York where

3486
01:49:13,511 --> 01:49:13,761
the CFTC has sought to has

3487
01:49:14,511 --> 01:49:14,761
sought to call upon what they

3488
01:49:17,777 --> 01:49:18,027
call their exclusive authority

3489
01:49:21,511 --> 01:49:21,761
to to basically say that a state

3490
01:49:23,811 --> 01:49:24,061
court ruling on whether or not

3491
01:49:25,511 --> 01:49:25,761
to prohibit sports betting

3492
01:49:26,544 --> 01:49:26,794
through prediction markets it

3493
01:49:30,177 --> 01:49:30,427
can be ignored and that that is

3494
01:49:30,844 --> 01:49:31,094
a particular

3495
01:49:31,177 --> 01:49:31,427
ly

3496
01:49:35,777 --> 01:49:36,027
on awe inspiring thing for for

3497
01:49:37,777 --> 01:49:38,027
for an a federal agency like the

3498
01:49:39,777 --> 01:49:40,027
CFTc which as the chairman

3499
01:49:41,744 --> 01:49:41,994
stated was was originally stated

3500
01:49:44,044 --> 01:49:44,294
to created to to regulate

3501
01:49:46,244 --> 01:49:46,494
soybean and soybean futures and

3502
01:49:48,277 --> 01:49:48,527
wheat futures is now basically

3503
01:49:50,277 --> 01:49:50,527
telling the prediction market

3504
01:49:52,077 --> 01:49:52,327
companies that they ostensibly

3505
01:49:54,277 --> 01:49:54,527
regulate that they can ignore

3506
01:49:56,244 --> 01:49:56,494
lawful court orders at some

3507
01:49:57,844 --> 01:49:58,094
point and a federal judge

3508
01:50:00,011 --> 01:50:00,261
recently within the last two

3509
01:50:02,244 --> 01:50:02,494
weeks in in in anecticut case

3510
01:50:05,477 --> 01:50:05,727
specifically called out thecFTC

3511
01:50:07,511 --> 01:50:07,761
for even attempting to to go

3512
01:50:09,744 --> 01:50:09,994
about that that line of legal

3513
01:50:12,011 --> 01:50:12,261
reasoning basically saying that

3514
01:50:14,011 --> 01:50:14,261
any authority that the CFTC

3515
01:50:15,777 --> 01:50:16,027
thinks that they have is not

3516
01:50:17,744 --> 01:50:17,994
going to conflict with with any

3517
01:50:19,511 --> 01:50:19,761
court's rulings and that they

3518
01:50:20,244 --> 01:50:20,494
they have to abide by them just

3519
01:50:22,044 --> 01:50:22,294
like everyone else and so it was

3520
01:50:24,011 --> 01:50:24,261
a pretty extraordinary rebuke to

3521
01:50:26,044 --> 01:50:26,294
a pretty extraordinary move by

3522
01:50:28,011 --> 01:50:28,261
the CFTc in in in my view

3523
01:50:30,011 --> 01:50:30,261
and the only other thing that

3524
01:50:31,977 --> 01:50:32,227
I'll you know mention to go back

3525
01:50:33,977 --> 01:50:34,227
to the conversation about you

3526
01:50:35,744 --> 01:50:35,994
know these these companies that

3527
01:50:36,511 --> 01:50:36,761
are now doing deals with sports

3528
01:50:38,011 --> 01:50:38,261
leagues and individual sports

3529
01:50:40,011 --> 01:50:40,261
teams and the entire theory of

3530
01:50:42,011 --> 01:50:42,261
the case I personally believe

3531
01:50:43,777 --> 01:50:44,027
for this is they are attempting

3532
01:50:45,477 --> 01:50:45,727
to get too big to fail as

3533
01:50:47,477 --> 01:50:47,727
quickly as they can and so that

3534
01:50:48,477 --> 01:50:48,727
it just in their view it

3535
01:50:51,777 --> 01:50:52,027
makes it more difficult for

3536
01:50:53,577 --> 01:50:53,827
likely the supreme court to

3537
01:50:55,777 --> 01:50:56,027
strike down what is80 to90% of

3538
01:50:57,544 --> 01:50:57,794
their business if they are so

3539
01:50:58,144 --> 01:50:58,394
integrated or trying to get as

3540
01:50:58,811 --> 01:50:59,061
integrated

3541
01:51:01,511 --> 01:51:01,761
as they can into the fabric of

3542
01:51:02,211 --> 01:51:02,461
American culture and what I mean

3543
01:51:03,744 --> 01:51:03,994
by that is it's not just

3544
01:51:05,511 --> 01:51:05,761
individual sports teams or

3545
01:51:06,111 --> 01:51:06,361
individual sports leagues they

3546
01:51:08,011 --> 01:51:08,261
also have they have

3547
01:51:09,811 --> 01:51:10,061
information sharing deals with

3548
01:51:11,777 --> 01:51:12,027
with you know the CnNs of the

3549
01:51:13,511 --> 01:51:13,761
world and the CNBC's of the

3550
01:51:15,511 --> 01:51:15,761
world and so you know their

3551
01:51:16,277 --> 01:51:16,527
official sponsors for media

3552
01:51:18,011 --> 01:51:18,261
organizations and all of these

3553
01:51:19,511 --> 01:51:19,761
different types of things and so

3554
01:51:20,244 --> 01:51:20,494
I think they're burrowing in

3555
01:51:22,011 --> 01:51:22,261
they're trying to raise money at

3556
01:51:24,044 --> 01:51:24,294
historic valuations now you know

3557
01:51:25,511 --> 01:51:25,761
they're they're looking at

3558
01:51:27,511 --> 01:51:27,761
trying to get up to30 to40

3559
01:51:28,111 --> 01:51:28,361
billion dollars in valuations

3560
01:51:31,511 --> 01:51:31,761
and again the you know these at

3561
01:51:32,244 --> 01:51:32,494
least the two largest prediction

3562
01:51:33,777 --> 01:51:34,027
market companies are both

3563
01:51:35,511 --> 01:51:35,761
private so these are this is

3564
01:51:36,211 --> 01:51:36,461
private raising they may go

3565
01:51:39,511 --> 01:51:39,761
public at some point but all

3566
01:51:40,244 --> 01:51:40,494
of this again is to just try to

3567
01:51:42,277 --> 01:51:42,527
get to a point where they appear

3568
01:51:44,244 --> 01:51:44,494
to be too big to fail and you

3569
01:51:47,511 --> 01:51:47,761
know at the end of the day I I

3570
01:51:48,144 --> 01:51:48,394
believe and I hope that that

3571
01:51:48,744 --> 01:51:48,994
that

3572
01:51:50,244 --> 01:51:50,494
the United States Supreme Court

3573
01:51:51,977 --> 01:51:52,227
is going to look at the law and

3574
01:51:53,511 --> 01:51:53,761
make a determination on what the

3575
01:51:54,511 --> 01:51:54,761
law is and I think at the end of

3576
01:51:56,044 --> 01:51:56,294
the day the question will come

3577
01:51:58,011 --> 01:51:58,261
down to not how broadly broad a

3578
01:51:59,744 --> 01:51:59,994
definition of a swap is but what

3579
01:52:01,511 --> 01:52:01,761
it's going to come down to is

3580
01:52:03,511 --> 01:52:03,761
what did Congress intend because

3581
01:52:05,511 --> 01:52:05,761
as the chairman said earlier you

3582
01:52:06,511 --> 01:52:06,761
know hiding hiding elephants

3583
01:52:07,777 --> 01:52:08,027
and mouse holes that's kind of

3584
01:52:09,511 --> 01:52:09,761
like the legal principle and

3585
01:52:11,777 --> 01:52:12,027
that if if if Congress intended

3586
01:52:14,277 --> 01:52:14,527
to preempt a traditional area of

3587
01:52:17,511 --> 01:52:17,761
regulation by the states in any

3588
01:52:18,244 --> 01:52:18,494
industry but in this case

3589
01:52:18,811 --> 01:52:19,061
gambling

3590
01:52:21,477 --> 01:52:21,727
they would have expressly done

3591
01:52:23,777 --> 01:52:24,027
so and not and not you know

3592
01:52:24,477 --> 01:52:24,727
simply expanded the definition

3593
01:52:27,511 --> 01:52:27,761
of a swap and it took someone 15

3594
01:52:28,244 --> 01:52:28,494
years to realize oh by the way

3595
01:52:30,011 --> 01:52:30,261
Congress authorized nationwide

3596
01:52:31,744 --> 01:52:31,994
sports betting. It literally

3597
01:52:34,211 --> 01:52:34,461
defies belief and that's why you

3598
01:52:36,244 --> 01:52:36,494
know at the end of the day I

3599
01:52:38,011 --> 01:52:38,261
I I think we're going to win and

3600
01:52:40,211 --> 01:52:40,461
commend all of all of you for

3601
01:52:40,877 --> 01:52:41,127
for your

3602
01:52:43,777 --> 01:52:44,027
for your engagement on this and

3603
01:52:45,511 --> 01:52:45,761
as well as chairman Dreiter's

3604
01:52:46,444 --> 01:52:46,694
leadership and General Ford and

3605
01:52:47,111 --> 01:52:47,361
governor Lombardo as well

3606
01:52:50,011 --> 01:52:50,261
can can I make just a couple of

3607
01:52:52,277 --> 01:52:52,527
points to follow on that the

3608
01:52:54,044 --> 01:52:54,294
certainly we have heard and it's

3609
01:52:55,777 --> 01:52:56,027
been said and it makes sense at

3610
01:52:57,511 --> 01:52:57,761
some level this idea that

3611
01:52:58,011 --> 01:52:58,261
they're trying to become too big

3612
01:52:59,477 --> 01:52:59,727
to fail so they're doing all

3613
01:53:00,511 --> 01:53:00,761
these these contracts I think

3614
01:53:01,977 --> 01:53:02,227
that's a red herring in the

3615
01:53:05,511 --> 01:53:05,761
sense that we're not out to

3616
01:53:07,544 --> 01:53:07,794
pursue their failure it doesn't

3617
01:53:09,944 --> 01:53:10,194
have to be one or the other they

3618
01:53:10,611 --> 01:53:10,861
can

3619
01:53:12,544 --> 01:53:12,794
they'll never be too big to

3620
01:53:14,311 --> 01:53:14,561
regulate. The point is all this

3621
01:53:18,011 --> 01:53:18,261
conduct if they choose to not

3622
01:53:20,277 --> 01:53:20,527
all of it but you know they can

3623
01:53:23,777 --> 01:53:24,027
come to Nevada we would be you

3624
01:53:24,511 --> 01:53:24,761
know willing to have them come

3625
01:53:26,311 --> 01:53:26,561
to Nevada and get a license like

3626
01:53:28,277 --> 01:53:28,527
everybody else and potentially

3627
01:53:31,511 --> 01:53:31,761
pursue some of the things

3628
01:53:32,311 --> 01:53:32,561
they're doing in Nevada that

3629
01:53:34,044 --> 01:53:34,294
they otherwise can't do without

3630
01:53:36,311 --> 01:53:36,561
a license so we're not

3631
01:53:38,044 --> 01:53:38,294
rooting for their the prediction

3632
01:53:39,877 --> 01:53:40,127
market's failure we just want

3633
01:53:40,544 --> 01:53:40,794
them to come in and do

3634
01:53:42,277 --> 01:53:42,527
it the right way and get a

3635
01:53:46,277 --> 01:53:46,527
license and and bes vetted

3636
01:53:48,211 --> 01:53:48,461
to ensure that they meet the

3637
01:53:49,744 --> 01:53:49,994
standards of the privileged

3638
01:53:51,744 --> 01:53:51,994
license of gaming in the state

3639
01:53:53,744 --> 01:53:53,994
of Nevada and of course they to

3640
01:53:54,511 --> 01:53:54,761
date have shown no interest in

3641
01:53:57,511 --> 01:53:57,761
that so the point is it doesn't

3642
01:53:58,311 --> 01:53:58,561
have to be all or nothing it

3643
01:54:00,277 --> 01:54:00,527
doesn't have to be you know the

3644
01:54:02,311 --> 01:54:02,561
they too big to fail they're not

3645
01:54:04,244 --> 01:54:04,494
too big to regulate and we

3646
01:54:06,277 --> 01:54:06,527
should as other states should

3647
01:54:08,044 --> 01:54:08,294
have the ability to regulate

3648
01:54:08,677 --> 01:54:08,927
them and to make our decision

3649
01:54:12,044 --> 01:54:12,294
about the best way to make sure

3650
01:54:14,044 --> 01:54:14,294
that they are suitable to allow

3651
01:54:16,044 --> 01:54:16,294
them to engage in the gaming

3652
01:54:17,511 --> 01:54:17,761
industry in the state of Nevada

3653
01:54:18,311 --> 01:54:18,561
and to the extent that they

3654
01:54:19,744 --> 01:54:19,994
continue to have no interest in

3655
01:54:20,511 --> 01:54:20,761
that we will continue to fight

3656
01:54:22,277 --> 01:54:22,527
with everything we have to make

3657
01:54:24,111 --> 01:54:24,361
sure that our rights are

3658
01:54:24,677 --> 01:54:24,927
protected.

3659
01:54:26,944 --> 01:54:27,194
so thank you for that and

3660
01:54:30,277 --> 01:54:30,527
and and I just it's a short

3661
01:54:32,277 --> 01:54:32,527
question and then it's really my

3662
01:54:33,744 --> 01:54:33,994
final question and then we're

3663
01:54:34,377 --> 01:54:34,627
going to close this out and move

3664
01:54:36,077 --> 01:54:36,327
to the next presentation but

3665
01:54:38,277 --> 01:54:38,527
if we bring them in under the

3666
01:54:40,277 --> 01:54:40,527
regulation like let's say you

3667
01:54:42,044 --> 01:54:42,294
know all the fighting ends and

3668
01:54:43,677 --> 01:54:43,927
it's like right we agreed to be

3669
01:54:44,344 --> 01:54:44,594
regulated

3670
01:54:46,444 --> 01:54:46,694
or punished or whatever

3671
01:54:51,511 --> 01:54:51,761
what do you think the rate

3672
01:54:53,511 --> 01:54:53,761
should be?hould they roll into

3673
01:54:56,311 --> 01:54:56,561
the existing6.75 or should it be

3674
01:54:57,711 --> 01:54:57,961
a higher rate because

3675
01:54:58,144 --> 01:54:58,394
technically

3676
01:55:02,011 --> 01:55:02,261
I mean I'm a revenue cheer

3677
01:55:04,011 --> 01:55:04,261
right so I'm always thinking

3678
01:55:06,577 --> 01:55:06,827
like if they're outside and like

3679
01:55:07,244 --> 01:55:07,494
in addition to

3680
01:55:11,744 --> 01:55:11,994
should that be a higher rate

3681
01:55:13,644 --> 01:55:13,894
because technically there

3682
01:55:17,877 --> 01:55:18,127
they're not a casino

3683
01:55:22,077 --> 01:55:22,327
they're not they will become a

3684
01:55:24,444 --> 01:55:24,694
form of licensee but that would

3685
01:55:25,077 --> 01:55:25,327
be defined

3686
01:55:26,344 --> 01:55:26,594
on what that licensee is

3687
01:55:31,511 --> 01:55:31,761
I'm going to senator Neon

3688
01:55:32,077 --> 01:55:32,327
committee members I'm going to

3689
01:55:33,744 --> 01:55:33,994
defer to the legislature and to

3690
01:55:35,744 --> 01:55:35,994
that process it's it's not my

3691
01:55:38,044 --> 01:55:38,294
place to say what the rate

3692
01:55:40,277 --> 01:55:40,527
should be it's my s job to

3693
01:55:43,511 --> 01:55:43,761
dutifully execute on it that

3694
01:55:45,511 --> 01:55:45,761
which the legislature and the

3695
01:55:46,277 --> 01:55:46,527
governor ultimately decide so

3696
01:55:47,777 --> 01:55:48,027
I'm gonna I'm gonna sidestep

3697
01:55:49,777 --> 01:55:50,027
that but what I will say is this

3698
01:55:50,444 --> 01:55:50,694
and I think this is an important

3699
01:55:52,344 --> 01:55:52,594
point when you talk there's this

3700
01:55:54,044 --> 01:55:54,294
notion that somehow

3701
01:55:56,344 --> 01:55:56,594
their technology is so different

3702
01:55:57,011 --> 01:55:57,261
that it couldn't be

3703
01:55:59,777 --> 01:56:00,027
re gu late d in the state of

3704
01:56:02,011 --> 01:56:02,261
Nevada that is nonsense right

3705
01:56:04,311 --> 01:56:04,561
now I'm not suggesting that we

3706
01:56:06,011 --> 01:56:06,261
might not need some changes to

3707
01:56:09,744 --> 01:56:09,994
our our regs to somehow allow

3708
01:56:11,777 --> 01:56:12,027
some sort of you know

3709
01:56:13,744 --> 01:56:13,994
prediction type product in

3710
01:56:15,511 --> 01:56:15,761
Nevada it's possible right we'd

3711
01:56:16,277 --> 01:56:16,527
have to look at that but this

3712
01:56:18,011 --> 01:56:18,261
notion that we don't have the

3713
01:56:19,777 --> 01:56:20,027
ability to regulate their

3714
01:56:23,511 --> 01:56:23,761
conduct is absolute nonsense

3715
01:56:26,011 --> 01:56:26,261
and we look if if it's the will

3716
01:56:26,744 --> 01:56:26,994
of the state and then the

3717
01:56:29,777 --> 01:56:30,027
ul ti mate ly the will of the

3718
01:56:31,477 --> 01:56:31,727
players that they like these

3719
01:56:32,244 --> 01:56:32,494
types of products and there's a

3720
01:56:34,044 --> 01:56:34,294
way to bring them in under our

3721
01:56:35,677 --> 01:56:35,927
regulation which I believe

3722
01:56:36,244 --> 01:56:36,494
largely there could be

3723
01:56:40,244 --> 01:56:40,494
and whatever tax status is

3724
01:56:42,277 --> 01:56:42,527
decided upon we can regulate

3725
01:56:44,011 --> 01:56:44,261
them. they try and say that

3726
01:56:45,511 --> 01:56:45,761
there's something completely

3727
01:56:47,511 --> 01:56:47,761
different the reality is it's a

3728
01:56:48,511 --> 01:56:48,761
betting exchange and we're very

3729
01:56:51,511 --> 01:56:51,761
capable of regulating that

3730
01:56:52,111 --> 01:56:52,361
and making sure it's safe,

3731
01:56:54,011 --> 01:56:54,261
making sure whatever taxes are

3732
01:56:56,044 --> 01:56:56,294
decided upon are paid properly

3733
01:56:58,011 --> 01:56:58,261
all of that we can do all of

3734
01:56:59,744 --> 01:56:59,994
that we've shown for70 years we

3735
01:57:00,577 --> 01:57:00,827
can do it and we can do it

3736
01:57:02,044 --> 01:57:02,294
they're not that special right

3737
01:57:04,311 --> 01:57:04,561
we can do that so we we would

3738
01:57:05,677 --> 01:57:05,927
welcome that technology

3739
01:57:08,044 --> 01:57:08,294
into the state if the powers

3740
01:57:10,011 --> 01:57:10,261
that be decided they wanted it

3741
01:57:11,777 --> 01:57:12,027
and we could faithfully regulate

3742
01:57:13,777 --> 01:57:14,027
it in the state so this notion

3743
01:57:15,477 --> 01:57:15,727
that we wouldn't know how to do

3744
01:57:16,244 --> 01:57:16,494
it we've been called we've been

3745
01:57:18,244 --> 01:57:18,494
insulted we've been called slot

3746
01:57:20,277 --> 01:57:20,527
regulators and you who are not

3747
01:57:22,011 --> 01:57:22,261
sophisticated who don't

3748
01:57:24,277 --> 01:57:24,527
understand how what what

3749
01:57:25,777 --> 01:57:26,027
they're doing is different

3750
01:57:27,511 --> 01:57:27,761
that's nonsense we can

3751
01:57:28,311 --> 01:57:28,561
absolutely regulate them but of

3752
01:57:30,044 --> 01:57:30,294
course they've shown no interest

3753
01:57:31,777 --> 01:57:32,027
in that. Well I appreciate that

3754
01:57:33,811 --> 01:57:34,061
comment. maybe there'll be a

3755
01:57:35,677 --> 01:57:35,927
sophisticated tax rate. No I'm

3756
01:57:36,377 --> 01:57:36,627
sorry

3757
01:57:38,111 --> 01:57:38,361
as you wish

3758
01:57:44,044 --> 01:57:44,294
you know raising revenues the

3759
01:57:47,511 --> 01:57:47,761
thing to do ok well thank you

3760
01:57:49,477 --> 01:57:49,727
thank you Mr York thank youchair

3761
01:57:51,777 --> 01:57:52,027
Drreiter for coming in and doing

3762
01:57:53,511 --> 01:57:53,761
this really thoughtful

3763
01:57:54,277 --> 01:57:54,527
presentation wanted to make sure

3764
01:57:54,911 --> 01:57:55,161
we got that in

3765
01:57:58,277 --> 01:57:58,527
and this has been very

3766
01:58:00,277 --> 01:58:00,527
informative and educational, so

3767
01:58:02,277 --> 01:58:02,527
I'm hoping that you know I know

3768
01:58:03,744 --> 01:58:03,994
there's going to be some

3769
01:58:05,977 --> 01:58:06,227
legislation on this but I just

3770
01:58:08,111 --> 01:58:08,361
wanted to make sure we got this

3771
01:58:08,777 --> 01:58:09,027

opportunity for us to share the

3839
02:01:21,377 --> 02:01:21,627
work with you all

3840
02:01:28,011 --> 02:01:28,261
So this is a picture that I've

3841
02:01:30,244 --> 02:01:30,494
shared before it is a picture

3842
02:01:32,011 --> 02:01:32,261
of the workforce ecosystem that

3843
02:01:33,777 --> 02:01:34,027
is funded through workforce

3844
02:01:35,744 --> 02:01:35,994
innovation Opportunity Act or

3845
02:01:38,211 --> 02:01:38,461
weOa for short. these are

3846
02:01:40,211 --> 02:01:40,461
federal funds given to17

3847
02:01:42,244 --> 02:01:42,494
different entities in this

3848
02:01:45,511 --> 02:01:45,761
ecosystem we are referred to as

3849
02:01:48,011 --> 02:01:48,261
title I eachach entity has a

3850
02:01:49,744 --> 02:01:49,994
formula attached to how that

3851
02:01:50,511 --> 02:01:50,761
money is allocated from the

3852
02:01:54,177 --> 02:01:54,427
federal level here's what I

3853
02:01:54,777 --> 02:01:55,027
want you to remember

3854
02:01:58,011 --> 02:01:58,261
workforce connections is a small

3855
02:02:01,477 --> 02:02:01,727
portion of the funds we do not

3856
02:02:05,511 --> 02:02:05,761
control all17. that is an entire

3857
02:02:07,777 --> 02:02:08,027
ecosystem and so workforce

3858
02:02:09,544 --> 02:02:09,794
connections is ressponsible for

3859
02:02:11,777 --> 02:02:12,027
the southern portion of the

3860
02:02:13,511 --> 02:02:13,761
state of Nevada so it's clark

3861
02:02:17,744 --> 02:02:17,994
Esmeralda Lincoln and ny and so

3862
02:02:19,511 --> 02:02:19,761
you'll hear about the northern

3863
02:02:20,511 --> 02:02:20,761
portion right after us with our

3864
02:02:23,511 --> 02:02:23,761
counterpart from Nevadaorks and

3865
02:02:24,211 --> 02:02:24,461
our mission we've stated it

3866
02:02:24,777 --> 02:02:25,027
before is

3867
02:02:27,444 --> 02:02:27,694
to connect employers to a ready

3868
02:02:28,111 --> 02:02:28,361
workforce.

3869
02:02:31,977 --> 02:02:32,227
so your committee asked us to

3870
02:02:35,511 --> 02:02:35,761
answer3 questionsgras and

3871
02:02:36,377 --> 02:02:36,627
employment outcomes for foster

3872
02:02:37,044 --> 02:02:37,294
care

3873
02:02:43,761 --> 02:02:44,011
2 how did AB354 from the 2017

3874
02:02:46,244 --> 02:02:46,494
legislative session was used

3875
02:02:48,011 --> 02:02:48,261
to guide our workforce planning

3876
02:02:50,211 --> 02:02:50,461
and service delivery and3 how

3877
02:02:51,977 --> 02:02:52,227
does workforce connection

3878
02:02:53,977 --> 02:02:54,227
support workers and employers as

3879
02:02:55,711 --> 02:02:55,961
Ai and automation reshape job

3880
02:03:00,211 --> 02:03:00,461
so in the question regarding

3881
02:03:02,211 --> 02:03:02,461
foster care you asked us to

3882
02:03:05,977 --> 02:03:06,227
focus on a couple of thingsfs

3883
02:03:07,711 --> 02:03:07,961
over the last10 years are

3884
02:03:10,011 --> 02:03:10,261
outreach efforts demographics

3885
02:03:11,811 --> 02:03:12,061
statistics and placement of

3886
02:03:12,411 --> 02:03:12,661
employment

3887
02:03:15,744 --> 02:03:15,994

02:03:21,711 --> 02:03:21,961
the record that's Rri C Ar D

3891

Oviolobos vil L a L O B O S I

3892
02:03:26,211 --> 02:03:26,461
think what I wanted to do here

3893
02:03:29,511 --> 02:03:29,761
was set context for the work

3894
02:03:30,211 --> 02:03:30,461
we do as a local workforce

3895
02:03:31,711 --> 02:03:31,961
development board for theun

3896
02:03:32,311 --> 02:03:32,561
Nevada region

3897
02:03:35,477 --> 02:03:35,727
and just to provide some context

3898
02:03:37,477 --> 02:03:37,727
and perspective it notes here

3899
02:03:38,444 --> 02:03:38,694
that there's over36,000

3900
02:03:41,477 --> 02:03:41,727
disconnected young people those

3901
02:03:42,244 --> 02:03:42,494
are young people who are neither

3902
02:03:44,044 --> 02:03:44,294
working nor in school between

3903
02:03:44,711 --> 02:03:44,961
the ages of16 to 24.

3904
02:03:47,977 --> 02:03:48,227
weoa the workforce innovation

3905
02:03:49,977 --> 02:03:50,227
Opportunity Actitle One funds

3906
02:03:51,744 --> 02:03:51,994
that workforce connectction

3907
02:03:53,744 --> 02:03:53,994
receives has the opportunity

3908
02:03:55,844 --> 02:03:56,094
to serve approximately1,000

3909
02:03:56,377 --> 02:03:56,627
young people per year.

3910
02:03:59,977 --> 02:04:00,227
how it works out to about60

3911
02:04:02,211 --> 02:04:02,461
to700 young people that are

3912
02:04:04,211 --> 02:04:04,461
enrolled in programming as new

3913
02:04:06,177 --> 02:04:06,427
enrollments and then about3

3914
02:04:08,444 --> 02:04:08,694
to400 that actually carry over

3915
02:04:10,011 --> 02:04:10,261
year after year because it's not

3916
02:04:13,477 --> 02:04:13,727
that they start July 1 all 1000

3917
02:04:14,177 --> 02:04:14,427
then continue throughout the

3918
02:04:15,811 --> 02:04:16,061
year enrollments happen on an

3919
02:04:16,477 --> 02:04:16,727
ongoing basis

3920
02:04:19,511 --> 02:04:19,761
we all wea requires us to

3921
02:04:20,211 --> 02:04:20,461
provide services to various

3922
02:04:21,944 --> 02:04:22,194
youth populations facing

3923
02:04:23,977 --> 02:04:24,227
significant barriers youth

3924
02:04:26,011 --> 02:04:26,261
where justice involved homeless

3925
02:04:28,177 --> 02:04:28,427
parenting pregnant youth with

3926
02:04:29,711 --> 02:04:29,961
disabilities and high school

3927
02:04:31,511 --> 02:04:31,761
dropouts and we know that as a

3928
02:04:32,211 --> 02:04:32,461
local workforce board only

3929
02:04:33,977 --> 02:04:34,227
having the capacity to do 1000

3930
02:04:36,244 --> 02:04:36,494
that it takes a a coalition and

3931
02:04:39,777 --> 02:04:40,027
a partnerships in the community

3932
02:04:41,477 --> 02:04:41,727
to focus on serving those youth

3933
02:04:42,411 --> 02:04:42,661
who are most in need and and of

3934
02:04:43,977 --> 02:04:44,227
course we serve foster youth

3935
02:04:45,511 --> 02:04:45,761
this with the this is focused

3936
02:04:46,111 --> 02:04:46,361
about but I think it's important

3937
02:04:48,211 --> 02:04:48,461
for this committee to understand

3938
02:04:49,977 --> 02:04:50,227
that our legislation mandates us

3939
02:04:51,711 --> 02:04:51,961
to not just focus on foster

3940
02:04:53,744 --> 02:04:53,994
youth but youth facing

3941
02:04:54,277 --> 02:04:54,527
significant barriers to

3942
02:04:54,811 --> 02:04:55,061
employment

3943
02:04:57,711 --> 02:04:57,961
and so and that happens with

3944
02:04:58,611 --> 02:04:58,861
us through theloyingv

3945
02:04:59,044 --> 02:04:59,294
youthubwork.

3946
02:05:07,711 --> 02:05:07,961
the way that we engage youth

3947
02:05:10,011 --> 02:05:10,261
before they age out is through

3948
02:05:12,211 --> 02:05:12,461
our employee vi hub youth hub

3949
02:05:14,011 --> 02:05:14,261
network and just to mention a

3950
02:05:15,744 --> 02:05:15,994
few things that have happened

3951
02:05:16,377 --> 02:05:16,627
that I wanted to make sure this

3952
02:05:17,777 --> 02:05:18,027
committee was aware of is as far

3953
02:05:19,811 --> 02:05:20,061
as engagement with organizations

3954
02:05:22,077 --> 02:05:22,327
serving youth in the foster care

3955
02:05:24,044 --> 02:05:24,294
system about to age out

3956
02:05:25,544 --> 02:05:25,794
there's partnerships and

3957
02:05:26,311 --> 02:05:26,561
engagement with a monthly on a

3958
02:05:28,511 --> 02:05:28,761

focus there is to key in on

4003
02:06:50,377 --> 02:06:50,627
through the employment of a

uh39% or1f to17 then it notes

4021
02:07:25,777 --> 02:07:26,027
notes the ethnic breakdown

amongst whites African Americans

4023
02:07:29,511 --> 02:07:29,761
and Hispanics and then it knows

4024
02:07:30,244 --> 02:07:30,494
some of the barriers that

4025
02:07:32,011 --> 02:07:32,261
they've faced coming into the

service representatives this

4062
02:08:57,477 --> 02:08:57,727
tells us where the placements

4063
02:08:59,777 --> 02:09:00,027
are landing largely entry

4064
02:09:01,977 --> 02:09:02,227
level service sector roles and

4065
02:09:03,511 --> 02:09:03,761
it's the baseline we used to

4066
02:09:05,611 --> 02:09:05,861
think about wage progression and

4067
02:09:06,277 --> 02:09:06,527
where to target training

4068
02:09:13,511 --> 02:09:13,761
So the next question that you

4069
02:09:15,511 --> 02:09:15,761
asked us from from this

4070
02:09:17,777 --> 02:09:18,027
committee had to do with

4071
02:09:20,277 --> 02:09:20,527
AB354 from the 2017 session

4072
02:09:22,277 --> 02:09:22,527
which you sponsored madam chair

4073
02:09:24,277 --> 02:09:24,527
and this bill required the

4074
02:09:25,744 --> 02:09:25,994
Department of Employment

4075
02:09:28,011 --> 02:09:28,261
Training andrehabilitation deer

4076
02:09:30,277 --> 02:09:30,527
to compile certain data in

4077
02:09:32,311 --> 02:09:32,561
relations to unemployment it

4078
02:09:34,044 --> 02:09:34,294
required agencies providing

4079
02:09:35,511 --> 02:09:35,761
workforce development to

4080
02:09:37,777 --> 02:09:38,027
coordinate efforts and resources

4081
02:09:39,544 --> 02:09:39,794
to reduce the unemployment rate

4082
02:09:40,177 --> 02:09:40,427
for certain demographic groups.

4083
02:09:41,077 --> 02:09:41,327
Mister Miller

4084
02:09:47,744 --> 02:09:47,994
so how does AB354 continue to

4085
02:09:49,777 --> 02:09:50,027
guide our workforce strategy

4086
02:09:52,344 --> 02:09:52,594
the report doesn't sit on its

4087
02:09:55,811 --> 02:09:56,061
own we use it alongside

4088
02:09:57,744 --> 02:09:57,994
laborbour's market information

4089
02:10:00,011 --> 02:10:00,261
employer demand and local

4090
02:10:01,777 --> 02:10:02,027
economic data and it drives a

4091
02:10:03,777 --> 02:10:04,027
specific sequence of decisions

4092
02:10:05,777 --> 02:10:06,027
we use it to identify

4093
02:10:06,477 --> 02:10:06,727
unemployment trends by

4094
02:10:06,911 --> 02:10:07,161
demographic group

4095
02:10:09,977 --> 02:10:10,227
that lets us prioritize

4096
02:10:12,044 --> 02:10:12,294
investment towards populations

4097
02:10:13,777 --> 02:10:14,027
with the highest barriers to

4098
02:10:16,044 --> 02:10:16,294
employment from there we align

4099
02:10:17,777 --> 02:10:18,027
our workforce investments with

4100
02:10:20,011 --> 02:10:20,261
the occupations and industries

4101
02:10:22,277 --> 02:10:22,527
where employer demand actually

4102
02:10:24,277 --> 02:10:24,527
exists and we use the geographic

4103
02:10:26,077 --> 02:10:26,327
data to decide where to locate

4104
02:10:28,277 --> 02:10:28,527
our employee in v hubs close to

4105
02:10:30,311 --> 02:10:30,561
where the need is not just where

4106
02:10:32,244 --> 02:10:32,494
it's convenient. We also factor

4107
02:10:34,011 --> 02:10:34,261
into how we select and

4108
02:10:36,044 --> 02:10:36,294
coordinate the service providers

4109
02:10:36,711 --> 02:10:36,961
we competitively procure

4110
02:10:39,744 --> 02:10:39,994
so they're capable of serving

4111
02:10:42,044 --> 02:10:42,294
the populations the data

4112
02:10:44,311 --> 02:10:44,561
flagsinally we track participant

4113
02:10:46,277 --> 02:10:46,527
outcomes against that same data

4114
02:10:46,944 --> 02:10:47,194
to find service gaps

4115
02:10:50,511 --> 02:10:50,761
and refine outreach and funding

4116
02:10:53,511 --> 02:10:53,761
priorities going forward so it

4117
02:10:55,744 --> 02:10:55,994
runs full loopstand the need

4118
02:10:57,977 --> 02:10:58,227
invest target services and

4119
02:10:58,577 --> 02:10:58,827
measure whether outcomes are

4120
02:10:59,144 --> 02:10:59,394
improving.

4121
02:11:04,277 --> 02:11:04,527
And then here's the third and

4122
02:11:07,511 --> 02:11:07,761
final question this one is

4123
02:11:09,711 --> 02:11:09,961
related to Ai and automation in

4124
02:11:12,011 --> 02:11:12,261
2024 when we presented to this

4125
02:11:13,811 --> 02:11:14,061
committee we were asked how

4126
02:11:15,511 --> 02:11:15,761
these two things were changing

4127
02:11:16,211 --> 02:11:16,461
the employment landscape

4128
02:11:19,744 --> 02:11:19,994
this time you wanted us to dig a

4129
02:11:20,511 --> 02:11:20,761
little deeper and talk about our

4130
02:11:23,511 --> 02:11:23,761
efforts to mitigate job losses

4131
02:11:25,977 --> 02:11:26,227
the number of state job loss

4132
02:11:29,477 --> 02:11:29,727
by automation the number of

4133
02:11:30,244 --> 02:11:30,494
private sector jobs we believe

4134
02:11:31,844 --> 02:11:32,094
have been lost in future

4135
02:11:32,411 --> 02:11:32,661
strategy

4136
02:11:37,511 --> 02:11:37,761
So with regards to mitigating

4137
02:11:38,511 --> 02:11:38,761
job placement from Ai and

4138
02:11:40,277 --> 02:11:40,527
automation our approach here

4139
02:11:42,011 --> 02:11:42,261
centers on investing in employer

4140
02:11:44,211 --> 02:11:44,461
identified training rather than

4141
02:11:45,977 --> 02:11:46,227
workforce connections

4142
02:11:47,977 --> 02:11:48,227
prescribing which Ai skills

4143
02:11:50,477 --> 02:11:50,727
matter we do that through two

4144
02:11:53,744 --> 02:11:53,994
channels industry sector

4145
02:11:55,744 --> 02:11:55,994
partnerships convene employers

4146
02:11:57,744 --> 02:11:57,994
in our regions target growth

4147
02:11:59,844 --> 02:12:00,094
sectors to identify emerging

4148
02:12:00,411 --> 02:12:00,661
workforce needs

4149
02:12:04,211 --> 02:12:04,461
skill gaps and technological

4150
02:12:07,511 --> 02:12:07,761
change which supports proactive

4151
02:12:09,511 --> 02:12:09,761
preparation before a job

4152
02:12:10,477 --> 02:12:10,727
requirement shifts out from

4153
02:12:12,211 --> 02:12:12,461
under someone incumbent worker

4154
02:12:15,744 --> 02:12:15,994
training previously funded

4155
02:12:17,744 --> 02:12:17,994
employer led upskilling of

4156
02:12:19,744 --> 02:12:19,994
current employees that function

4157
02:12:21,477 --> 02:12:21,727
continues to be funded through

4158
02:12:22,444 --> 02:12:22,694
through Deeter and workforce

4159
02:12:23,877 --> 02:12:24,127
connections as worker upskilling

4160
02:12:27,711 --> 02:12:27,961
bothth are built to help workers

4161
02:12:29,711 --> 02:12:29,961
retain employment and stay

4162
02:12:32,044 --> 02:12:32,294
competitive as new technology

4163
02:12:32,711 --> 02:12:32,961
enters our workforce.

4164
02:12:36,211 --> 02:12:36,461
their workplace summarizing we

4165
02:12:39,477 --> 02:12:39,727
don't set the Ai skills agenda

4166
02:12:41,477 --> 02:12:41,727
employers do. Our role is to

4167
02:12:42,211 --> 02:12:42,461
fund the upskilling and

4168
02:12:43,977 --> 02:12:44,227
reskilling they tell us their

4169
02:12:45,711 --> 02:12:45,961
workers need to adapt

4170
02:12:48,211 --> 02:12:48,461
stay employed and advances

4171
02:12:49,677 --> 02:12:49,927
the technology changes around

4172
02:12:50,344 --> 02:12:50,594
them

4173
02:12:55,744 --> 02:12:55,994
With regards to job loss

4174
02:12:58,277 --> 02:12:58,527
estimates the committee asked

4175
02:13:00,044 --> 02:13:00,294
for two specific figures the

4176
02:13:02,244 --> 02:13:02,494
numbers state jobs lost to Ai

4177
02:13:03,977 --> 02:13:04,227
and automation and the number of

4178
02:13:05,977 --> 02:13:06,227
private sector jobs believed

4179
02:13:08,011 --> 02:13:08,261
lost broken out by lower skill

4180
02:13:10,277 --> 02:13:10,527
and professional occupations

4181
02:13:12,277 --> 02:13:12,527
we're not going to offer any

4182
02:13:15,511 --> 02:13:15,761
estimates to this number Dieter

4183
02:13:17,511 --> 02:13:17,761
research and analysis is the

4184
02:13:19,477 --> 02:13:19,727
appropriate source for statewide

4185
02:13:20,544 --> 02:13:20,794
job loss data of this kind and

4186
02:13:21,877 --> 02:13:22,127
that's where those figures

4187
02:13:22,411 --> 02:13:22,661
should come from.

4188
02:13:24,244 --> 02:13:24,494
we'd rather appoint the

4189
02:13:26,444 --> 02:13:26,694
committee to the agency position

4190
02:13:27,177 --> 02:13:27,427
to produce a reliable number.

4191
02:13:32,011 --> 02:13:32,261
And then moving on to future

4192
02:13:34,244 --> 02:13:34,494
strategies to help Nevadans work

4193
02:13:35,644 --> 02:13:35,894
alongside AI

4194
02:13:40,211 --> 02:13:40,461
hre basic strategies going

4195
02:13:43,977 --> 02:13:44,227
forward first build Ai ready

4196
02:13:46,211 --> 02:13:46,461
skills short term industry

4197
02:13:49,477 --> 02:13:49,727
recogd training in AI literacy

4198
02:13:50,477 --> 02:13:50,727
data analysis, prompt

4199
02:13:52,277 --> 02:13:52,527
engineering and digital workflow

4200
02:13:55,511 --> 02:13:55,761
tools and expand the capacity of

4201
02:13:57,511 --> 02:13:57,761
training providers in our region

4202
02:13:59,511 --> 02:13:59,761
to actually deliver these basic

4203
02:14:00,177 --> 02:14:00,427
AI skills training

4204
02:14:03,977 --> 02:14:04,227
secondcond we'd augment workers

4205
02:14:06,211 --> 02:14:06,461
rather than replace them we use

4206
02:14:08,011 --> 02:14:08,261
industry sector partnerships to

4207
02:14:09,977 --> 02:14:10,227
identify productivity gains from

4208
02:14:12,311 --> 02:14:12,561
AI that let employers retain

4209
02:14:12,977 --> 02:14:13,227
their workforce

4210
02:14:15,744 --> 02:14:15,994
and we push for jobs to be

4211
02:14:17,744 --> 02:14:17,994
redesigned towards customer

4212
02:14:19,511 --> 02:14:19,761
service critical thinking and

4213
02:14:20,211 --> 02:14:20,461
relationship management the

4214
02:14:22,344 --> 02:14:22,594
things that AI still doesn't do

4215
02:14:23,077 --> 02:14:23,327
very well

4216
02:14:26,211 --> 02:14:26,461
while the incorporating AI into

4217
02:14:29,744 --> 02:14:29,994
workflows in ways that worker

4218
02:14:30,577 --> 02:14:30,827
productivity rather than that

4219
02:14:34,244 --> 02:14:34,494
enhances the worker productivity

4220
02:14:35,011 --> 02:14:35,261
rather than eliminates workers

4221
02:14:37,944 --> 02:14:38,194
Third

4222
02:14:41,477 --> 02:14:41,727
proactively anticipate change.

4223
02:14:43,744 --> 02:14:43,994
we use labor market information

4224
02:14:44,577 --> 02:14:44,827
employer surveys and analytics

4225
02:14:49,477 --> 02:14:49,727
to identify occupations that

4226
02:14:50,111 --> 02:14:50,361
carry the greatest automation

4227
02:14:50,711 --> 02:14:50,961
risk

4228
02:14:53,744 --> 02:14:53,994
and we target early retaining

4229
02:14:55,944 --> 02:14:56,194
retraining towards pathways

4230
02:14:57,944 --> 02:14:58,194
where demand is strong before

4231
02:14:59,811 --> 02:15:00,061
displacement happens not after

4232
02:15:03,744 --> 02:15:03,994
so basically skills redesigned

4233
02:15:05,644 --> 02:15:05,894
jobs and early warning that

4234
02:15:06,211 --> 02:15:06,461
would be the strategy

4235
02:15:12,544 --> 02:15:12,794
Thank you madam chair and

4236
02:15:13,511 --> 02:15:13,761
committee members we

4237
02:15:14,244 --> 02:15:14,494
appreciate each one of you for

4238
02:15:16,244 --> 02:15:16,494
your service to this

4239
02:15:18,244 --> 02:15:18,494
community and to the state and

4240
02:15:20,277 --> 02:15:20,527
thank you also for allowing us

4241
02:15:21,977 --> 02:15:22,227
to share our work and we are

4242
02:15:22,577 --> 02:15:22,827
ready for any questions you may

4243
02:15:23,244 --> 02:15:23,494
have.

4244
02:15:26,144 --> 02:15:26,394
OK. thank you for that.embers

4245
02:15:26,811 --> 02:15:27,061
any questions?

4246
02:15:30,177 --> 02:15:30,427
OK I do. so on

4247
02:15:32,311 --> 02:15:32,561
question two

4248
02:15:36,044 --> 02:15:36,294
well no let me start with

4249
02:15:37,777 --> 02:15:38,027
question one on the foster youth

4250
02:15:39,777 --> 02:15:40,027
so I'll so I'll explain and I

4251
02:15:41,777 --> 02:15:42,027
and I know that in the

4252
02:15:44,277 --> 02:15:44,527
presentation you mentioned

4253
02:15:45,744 --> 02:15:45,994
you know we just don't focus on

4254
02:15:47,644 --> 02:15:47,894
foster youth which which I

4255
02:15:48,211 --> 02:15:48,461
understand that too

4256
02:15:50,111 --> 02:15:50,361
so

4257
02:15:53,744 --> 02:15:53,994
I would say about well two

4258
02:15:55,744 --> 02:15:55,994
things that are driving this

4259
02:15:57,477 --> 02:15:57,727
conversation so about I would

4260
02:16:00,077 --> 02:16:00,327
say about two years ago I went

4261
02:16:00,777 --> 02:16:01,027
through and I looked at

4262
02:16:03,511 --> 02:16:03,761
all of the workforce reports

4263
02:16:06,144 --> 02:16:06,394
from 2012 forward, right and one

4264
02:16:06,844 --> 02:16:07,094
of the

4265
02:16:09,811 --> 02:16:10,061
groups that consistently stayed

4266
02:16:11,744 --> 02:16:11,994
in outside of veterans was

4267
02:16:14,011 --> 02:16:14,261
foster youth so year over year

4268
02:16:15,744 --> 02:16:15,994
for every workforce report

4269
02:16:17,777 --> 02:16:18,027
foster youth were still the

4270
02:16:20,011 --> 02:16:20,261
category that seemed to be the

4271
02:16:21,777 --> 02:16:22,027
most challenging and seemed to

4272
02:16:24,011 --> 02:16:24,261
be a group that was

4273
02:16:26,444 --> 02:16:26,694
constantly constantly in need of

4274
02:16:27,144 --> 02:16:27,394
employment services right?

4275
02:16:30,344 --> 02:16:30,594
Second thing that drew this

4276
02:16:30,911 --> 02:16:31,161
conversation

4277
02:16:35,744 --> 02:16:35,994
few months ago I was invited

4278
02:16:37,977 --> 02:16:38,227
to meet foster children who were

4279
02:16:41,744 --> 02:16:41,994
aging out I was invited by a

4280
02:16:44,011 --> 02:16:44,261
her name wasarraRaines who

4281
02:16:46,011 --> 02:16:46,261
you know been taking children

4282
02:16:47,977 --> 02:16:48,227
out and we met and it was a

4283
02:16:49,777 --> 02:16:50,027
whole like you know meet a

4284
02:16:50,377 --> 02:16:50,627
senator or whatever at a bowling

4285
02:16:51,044 --> 02:16:51,294
alley

4286
02:16:52,511 --> 02:16:52,761
and

4287
02:16:58,044 --> 02:16:58,294
as they were the young girls

4288
02:17:00,044 --> 02:17:00,294
were talking to me was is a mix

4289
02:17:00,744 --> 02:17:00,994
of Latino and black girls

4290
02:17:04,277 --> 02:17:04,527
they you know one group was

4291
02:17:06,011 --> 02:17:06,261
talking to me about politics

4292
02:17:08,244 --> 02:17:08,494
which were the Latino females

4293
02:17:09,977 --> 02:17:10,227
then the black girls were

4294
02:17:12,211 --> 02:17:12,461
talking to me about how the

4295
02:17:12,777 --> 02:17:13,027
system was you know

4296
02:17:14,744 --> 02:17:14,994
not necessarily nice to them.

4297
02:17:19,744 --> 02:17:19,994
one of the adults was worried

4298
02:17:21,511 --> 02:17:21,761
that one of the girls who was

4299
02:17:24,011 --> 02:17:24,261
aging out that her only job

4300
02:17:25,511 --> 02:17:25,761
opportunity was going to be

4301
02:17:26,377 --> 02:17:26,627
either to be sex trafficked or

4302
02:17:28,111 --> 02:17:28,361
prostitute

4303
02:17:30,711 --> 02:17:30,961
and I was like well why would

4304
02:17:31,377 --> 02:17:31,627
that be an outcome?

4305
02:17:34,277 --> 02:17:34,527
aren't isn't she in workforce

4306
02:17:36,311 --> 02:17:36,561
programs I mean we know that

4307
02:17:37,777 --> 02:17:38,027
she's getting ready to get a

4308
02:17:38,377 --> 02:17:38,627
high school

4309
02:17:40,377 --> 02:17:40,627
why haven't we put things in

4310
02:17:41,044 --> 02:17:41,294
place

4311
02:17:44,044 --> 02:17:44,294
so of course I reached out to

4312
02:17:46,244 --> 02:17:46,494
the county we had a series of

4313
02:17:48,277 --> 02:17:48,527
conversations on like why is why

4314
02:17:50,244 --> 02:17:50,494
does this conversation exists

4315
02:17:52,211 --> 02:17:52,461
because it should not exist. I

4316
02:17:52,911 --> 02:17:53,161
should not be a

4317
02:17:58,111 --> 02:17:58,361
faced with a dialogue where I'm

4318
02:17:58,811 --> 02:17:59,061
trying to figure out

4319
02:18:03,511 --> 02:18:03,761
why a 18 year old girl and then

4320
02:18:06,244 --> 02:18:06,494
another schimed in saying that

4321
02:18:07,777 --> 02:18:08,027
they had not had any

4322
02:18:08,177 --> 02:18:08,427
opportunities

4323
02:18:12,211 --> 02:18:12,461
for workforce then I found out

4324
02:18:15,777 --> 02:18:16,027
that the county I guess had

4325
02:18:19,511 --> 02:18:19,761
offered them jobb corp right and

4326
02:18:21,744 --> 02:18:21,994
then the girl didn't accept

4327
02:18:23,977 --> 02:18:24,227
jobborp which is in Reno because

4328
02:18:25,977 --> 02:18:26,227
she lives in Vegas so why would

4329
02:18:28,011 --> 02:18:28,261
a child move from her current

4330
02:18:31,511 --> 02:18:31,761
environment and go to Reno to a

4331
02:18:32,244 --> 02:18:32,494
place where she doesn't know

4332
02:18:33,744 --> 02:18:33,994
she's already a foster youth,

4333
02:18:35,744 --> 02:18:35,994
which means she has limited

4334
02:18:37,711 --> 02:18:37,961
family contact so whoever her

4335
02:18:38,377 --> 02:18:38,627
contacts are are her friends

4336
02:18:38,944 --> 02:18:39,194
right

4337
02:18:41,477 --> 02:18:41,727
the circle of influence which

4338
02:18:42,544 --> 02:18:42,794
happened to be other18 and17

4339
02:18:43,211 --> 02:18:43,461
yearold girls.

4340
02:18:47,744 --> 02:18:47,994
so it got me on this rabbit hole

4341
02:18:49,511 --> 02:18:49,761
right because I was just like

4342
02:18:51,744 --> 02:18:51,994
well the data says this is a

4343
02:18:54,011 --> 02:18:54,261
constant group that is a in

4344
02:18:55,977 --> 02:18:56,227
constant need of services so I

4345
02:18:57,711 --> 02:18:57,961
wanted to ask the question where

4346
02:18:58,444 --> 02:18:58,694
are they going

4347
02:19:00,311 --> 02:19:00,561
and then my conversation with

4348
02:19:02,311 --> 02:19:02,561
the county you know I started

4349
02:19:05,511 --> 02:19:05,761
asking like oh you know what

4350
02:19:06,277 --> 02:19:06,527
about you know the virtual

4351
02:19:07,977 --> 02:19:08,227
reality goggles causez I

4352
02:19:08,577 --> 02:19:08,827
remember when that was presented

4353
02:19:11,511 --> 02:19:11,761
in there at the libraries right

4354
02:19:13,511 --> 02:19:13,761
and then they were like oh I

4355
02:19:14,177 --> 02:19:14,427
didn't know about that and I was

4356
02:19:16,211 --> 02:19:16,461
just like how is that not

4357
02:19:18,211 --> 02:19:18,461
possible that it's unknowown

4358
02:19:20,477 --> 02:19:20,727
that you know Br goggles are out

4359
02:19:23,544 --> 02:19:23,794
here right that had been over

4360
02:19:26,011 --> 02:19:26,261
four years it was precovid or it

4361
02:19:27,911 --> 02:19:28,161
became a real thing in covid

4362
02:19:28,577 --> 02:19:28,827
like how do you

4363
02:19:31,511 --> 02:19:31,761
get a real life experience on

4364
02:19:33,777 --> 02:19:34,027
job work by using thevR goggles

4365
02:19:35,511 --> 02:19:35,761
causez I distinctly remember

4366
02:19:37,744 --> 02:19:37,994
when Dideter came in asking for

4367
02:19:39,511 --> 02:19:39,761
the money the library in North

4368
02:19:40,244 --> 02:19:40,494
Las Vegas was saying oh we're

4369
02:19:41,511 --> 02:19:41,761
going to put this in our

4370
02:19:43,511 --> 02:19:43,761
libraries and we were like ok

4371
02:19:44,377 --> 02:19:44,627
cool we'll give you the money to

4372
02:19:45,077 --> 02:19:45,327
pay for it.

4373
02:19:49,511 --> 02:19:49,761
so it started this conversation

4374
02:19:50,244 --> 02:19:50,494
because either there is a gap

4375
02:19:55,477 --> 02:19:55,727
or the vendor who is receiving

4376
02:19:56,177 --> 02:19:56,427
money right to do x

4377
02:19:59,644 --> 02:19:59,894
is not connecting with these

4378
02:20:00,311 --> 02:20:00,561
children, right?

4379
02:20:03,511 --> 02:20:03,761
and I don't know if you guys

4380
02:20:04,244 --> 02:20:04,494
were at the recent event at

4381
02:20:05,977 --> 02:20:06,227
Childhaven cause I didn't check

4382
02:20:07,511 --> 02:20:07,761
all the tables you might have

4383
02:20:09,977 --> 02:20:10,227
been where SEIU took it upon

4384
02:20:10,644 --> 02:20:10,894
themselves to then host

4385
02:20:12,544 --> 02:20:12,794
a career fair

4386
02:20:17,511 --> 02:20:17,761
to then bring I think over 20

4387
02:20:19,744 --> 02:20:19,994
different partners into the

4388
02:20:20,577 --> 02:20:20,827
juvenile justice Jim

4389
02:20:24,011 --> 02:20:24,261
to meet the childldhaven

4390
02:20:27,511 --> 02:20:27,761
students and also to meet the

4391
02:20:28,311 --> 02:20:28,561
students that are within

4392
02:20:31,511 --> 02:20:31,761
juvenile justice that may also

4393
02:20:32,177 --> 02:20:32,427
be incarcerated not

4394
02:20:33,844 --> 02:20:34,094
childldhaven

4395
02:20:37,511 --> 02:20:37,761
and from my understanding this

4396
02:20:39,777 --> 02:20:40,027
was like the first time that

4397
02:20:41,777 --> 02:20:42,027
there had been a major event

4398
02:20:45,477 --> 02:20:45,727
where 20 different career

4399
02:20:48,011 --> 02:20:48,261
vendors had came into that space

4400
02:20:50,077 --> 02:20:50,327
to then talk about what you can

4401
02:20:50,811 --> 02:20:51,061
be right?

4402
02:20:52,944 --> 02:20:53,194
so of course

4403
02:20:57,977 --> 02:20:58,227
me being me right? I wanted to

4404
02:20:59,744 --> 02:20:59,994
get on the record what is the

4405
02:21:01,511 --> 02:21:01,761
work that's being done number

4406
02:21:03,511 --> 02:21:03,761
one because if anybody out there

4407
02:21:04,211 --> 02:21:04,461
that's a government agency

4408
02:21:05,677 --> 02:21:05,927
whether or not it be

4409
02:21:10,011 --> 02:21:10,261
or subdivision within a agency

4410
02:21:13,511 --> 02:21:13,761
or subdepartment within a

4411
02:21:15,844 --> 02:21:16,094
city is saying oh I don't know

4412
02:21:17,844 --> 02:21:18,094
what services are there

4413
02:21:21,811 --> 02:21:22,061
I can then point to this

4414
02:21:23,511 --> 02:21:23,761
legislative record to be like

4415
02:21:25,744 --> 02:21:25,994
well you just got a listing from

4416
02:21:28,044 --> 02:21:28,294
not everyone but majority who

4417
02:21:30,277 --> 02:21:30,527
are vendors or who are giving

4418
02:21:33,744 --> 02:21:33,994
contracts to vendors on what is

4419
02:21:35,477 --> 02:21:35,727
available right? because I

4420
02:21:36,477 --> 02:21:36,727
should never have a conversation

4421
02:21:38,411 --> 02:21:38,661
where the option is prostitution

4422
02:21:42,244 --> 02:21:42,494
and there was no conversation on

4423
02:21:44,011 --> 02:21:44,261
whether or not you can be

4424
02:21:47,977 --> 02:21:48,227
something else right and so just

4425
02:21:48,677 --> 02:21:48,927
to give you the background and

4426
02:21:50,011 --> 02:21:50,261
yeah of course you guys have met

4427
02:21:51,744 --> 02:21:51,994
me before I get really

4428
02:21:53,744 --> 02:21:53,994
passionate on social community

4429
02:21:55,944 --> 02:21:56,194
issues because I spend my days

4430
02:21:59,477 --> 02:21:59,727
in the community and for

4431
02:22:00,444 --> 02:22:00,694
whatever reason I get found in

4432
02:22:03,544 --> 02:22:03,794
in spaces that I never imagined

4433
02:22:04,277 --> 02:22:04,527
I would be in right cause even

4434
02:22:05,811 --> 02:22:06,061
when I was sitting in the

4435
02:22:07,744 --> 02:22:07,994
bowling alley at ed rock I was

4436
02:22:08,711 --> 02:22:08,961
my sister was with me she's a

4437
02:22:09,377 --> 02:22:09,627
pharmacist and I was just like

4438
02:22:11,111 --> 02:22:11,361
did I just get

4439
02:22:14,244 --> 02:22:14,494
handed a set of problems that I

4440
02:22:18,011 --> 02:22:18,261
may not be ready to shoulder

4441
02:22:20,244 --> 02:22:20,494
and walk around you know and try

4442
02:22:23,511 --> 02:22:23,761
to solve right because of course

4443
02:22:24,477 --> 02:22:24,727
if a problem is presented to me

4444
02:22:27,744 --> 02:22:27,994
right a real human scale problem

4445
02:22:30,011 --> 02:22:30,261
my heart goes out and I want to

4446
02:22:31,977 --> 02:22:32,227
fix it right? I want to engage I

4447
02:22:34,211 --> 02:22:34,461
want to use whatever limited

4448
02:22:34,877 --> 02:22:35,127
power I have

4449
02:22:38,511 --> 02:22:38,761
to convene conversations around

4450
02:22:39,177 --> 02:22:39,427
the issue.

4451
02:22:43,777 --> 02:22:44,027
and workforce is one of the

4452
02:22:44,344 --> 02:22:44,594
issues that is a topic in

4453
02:22:44,877 --> 02:22:45,127
revenue.

4454
02:22:48,411 --> 02:22:48,661
so with that background that is

4455
02:22:51,744 --> 02:22:51,994
why I ask question one. so for

4456
02:22:52,344 --> 02:22:52,594
everybody else who's gonna come

4457
02:22:53,977 --> 02:22:54,227
to this table and present now

4458
02:22:55,877 --> 02:22:56,127
you know why I was asking

4459
02:22:56,444 --> 02:22:56,694
question one

4460
02:23:01,911 --> 02:23:02,161
and so hopefully you know we can

4461
02:23:02,611 --> 02:23:02,861
build a record of

4462
02:23:06,244 --> 02:23:06,494
if I talk to anybody next year

4463
02:23:08,244 --> 02:23:08,494
while I spend the next six years

4464
02:23:10,277 --> 02:23:10,527
of my reality potentially in

4465
02:23:12,011 --> 02:23:12,261
this in the legislature that I

4466
02:23:13,977 --> 02:23:14,227
will not be faced with this

4467
02:23:14,544 --> 02:23:14,794
question again right?

4468
02:23:17,977 --> 02:23:18,227
because now everyone should

4469
02:23:20,011 --> 02:23:20,261
align themselves to the services

4470
02:23:21,544 --> 02:23:21,794
that were listed in this

4471
02:23:22,111 --> 02:23:22,361
document and get yourself

4472
02:23:22,711 --> 02:23:22,961
together.

4473
02:23:25,977 --> 02:23:26,227
and figure out how to get

4474
02:23:28,244 --> 02:23:28,494
young girls and boys who are

4475
02:23:30,244 --> 02:23:30,494
aging out of the foster system

4476
02:23:33,511 --> 02:23:33,761
successfully employed and at

4477
02:23:34,111 --> 02:23:34,361
least provide them the

4478
02:23:34,677 --> 02:23:34,927
opportunity to imagine

4479
02:23:38,044 --> 02:23:38,294
that they can have a better life

4480
02:23:40,177 --> 02:23:40,427
and a career

4481
02:23:41,711 --> 02:23:41,961
and that's the

4482
02:23:47,511 --> 02:23:47,761
Thank you madam chairir. I love

4483
02:23:49,511 --> 02:23:49,761
the question and I appreciate

4484
02:23:50,244 --> 02:23:50,494
your passion because you're

4485
02:23:53,511 --> 02:23:53,761
fiercely an advocate for things

4486
02:23:56,244 --> 02:23:56,494
that need to come to fruition

4487
02:24:00,211 --> 02:24:00,461
so my colleague Ricardo

4488
02:24:02,011 --> 02:24:02,261
Villaloboso and start the

4489
02:24:03,744 --> 02:24:03,994
conversation yeah thank you

4490
02:24:04,477 --> 02:24:04,727
Ireneiccardo Vilos for the

4491
02:24:06,044 --> 02:24:06,294
record and and I want ditto that

4492
02:24:08,011 --> 02:24:08,261
madam chairir thank you for

4493
02:24:09,777 --> 02:24:10,027
caring you know about our young

4494
02:24:11,844 --> 02:24:12,094
people and for the committee you

4495
02:24:12,511 --> 02:24:12,761
know caring about our young

4496
02:24:13,077 --> 02:24:13,327
people

4497
02:24:15,511 --> 02:24:15,761
I mean I think as I mentioned

4498
02:24:18,011 --> 02:24:18,261
to you there's36,000

4499
02:24:18,711 --> 02:24:18,961
disconnected young people in

4500
02:24:19,344 --> 02:24:19,594
Cclark County alone

4501
02:24:22,277 --> 02:24:22,527
our funds are finite you know we

4502
02:24:25,811 --> 02:24:26,061
serve 1000 as I said60 to700 per

4503
02:24:26,477 --> 02:24:26,727
year but it's barely a dent

4504
02:24:29,511 --> 02:24:29,761
we've started to convene a

4505
02:24:31,744 --> 02:24:31,994
coalition of partners that is

4506
02:24:32,411 --> 02:24:32,661
the opportunity youth coalition

4507
02:24:35,777 --> 02:24:36,027
and basically they are partners

4508
02:24:37,511 --> 02:24:37,761
that are serving in the youth

4509
02:24:38,444 --> 02:24:38,694
space now not all of them are

4510
02:24:40,277 --> 02:24:40,527
foster care centric you know but

4511
02:24:45,977 --> 02:24:46,227
eagle Quest i oster

4512
02:24:47,744 --> 02:24:47,994
some others partners you know

4513
02:24:48,377 --> 02:24:48,627
that are in the foster care

4514
02:24:49,977 --> 02:24:50,227
space are there they're not

4515
02:24:50,577 --> 02:24:50,827
necessarily funded partners from

4516
02:24:51,744 --> 02:24:51,994
us but they're doing their

4517
02:24:52,344 --> 02:24:52,594
things in their space we we

4518
02:24:54,277 --> 02:24:54,527
don't direct them or tell them

4519
02:24:55,777 --> 02:24:56,027
or have accountability with them

4520
02:24:56,477 --> 02:24:56,727
they're they're partners part of

4521
02:24:57,144 --> 02:24:57,394
the coalition

4522
02:24:59,511 --> 02:24:59,761
so we're definitely trying to do

4523
02:25:01,477 --> 02:25:01,727
what we can for the36000 as a

4524
02:25:02,544 --> 02:25:02,794
whole, right? I think as far as

4525
02:25:04,111 --> 02:25:04,361
young people not hearing about

4526
02:25:04,777 --> 02:25:05,027
it

4527
02:25:08,011 --> 02:25:08,261
you know we have over 27

4528
02:25:10,011 --> 02:25:10,261
American job centers branded as

4529
02:25:11,777 --> 02:25:12,027
employing the hubs in southern

4530
02:25:12,477 --> 02:25:12,727
Nevada region that's you

4531
02:25:14,244 --> 02:25:14,494
knowlinncoln niasorrell and

4532
02:25:16,211 --> 02:25:16,461
Clark County we we have a

4533
02:25:18,244 --> 02:25:18,494
presence in in various

4534
02:25:19,677 --> 02:25:19,927
communities as my colleague

4535
02:25:20,244 --> 02:25:20,494
Brett mentioned earlier

4536
02:25:21,644 --> 02:25:21,894
there's no dearth

4537
02:25:25,811 --> 02:25:26,061
we could if we had more funding

4538
02:25:27,511 --> 02:25:27,761
if I'll just be frank if the

4539
02:25:28,311 --> 02:25:28,561
state provided us funding and

4540
02:25:30,077 --> 02:25:30,327
wanted us to specifically key in

4541
02:25:30,811 --> 02:25:31,061
on foster youth we would gladly

4542
02:25:32,311 --> 02:25:32,561
do that

4543
02:25:33,544 --> 02:25:33,794
if the say says we want you to

4544
02:25:34,244 --> 02:25:34,494
focus on juvenile justice youth

4545
02:25:36,144 --> 02:25:36,394
we would gladly do that we're

4546
02:25:36,744 --> 02:25:36,994
barely scratching the surface

4547
02:25:41,377 --> 02:25:41,627
and so we we've never been

4548
02:25:42,144 --> 02:25:42,394
under enrolled you know we've

4549
02:25:43,877 --> 02:25:44,127
never a matter of fact we

4550
02:25:45,611 --> 02:25:45,861
tend to over enroll our young

4551
02:25:47,911 --> 02:25:48,161
people in programming as I

4552
02:25:49,844 --> 02:25:50,094
mentioned just for foster youth

4553
02:25:51,744 --> 02:25:51,994
the things we're engaged in

4554
02:25:53,444 --> 02:25:53,694
the referral partner network is

4555
02:25:54,244 --> 02:25:54,494
just specific to foster youth

4556
02:25:54,811 --> 02:25:55,061
that I noted in this

4557
02:25:55,244 --> 02:25:55,494
presentation

4558
02:25:58,144 --> 02:25:58,394
but it's also with a juvenile

4559
02:26:00,311 --> 02:26:00,561
justice youth homeless youth

4560
02:26:03,544 --> 02:26:03,794
the the the barriers of popula

4561
02:26:05,511 --> 02:26:05,761
or the populations that face

4562
02:26:07,577 --> 02:26:07,827
these significant barriers and

4563
02:26:09,811 --> 02:26:10,061
so we do get the word out

4564
02:26:11,577 --> 02:26:11,827
will you come across an

4565
02:26:12,044 --> 02:26:12,294
individual that has not heard

4566
02:26:14,211 --> 02:26:14,461
about it absolutely you know

4567
02:26:15,977 --> 02:26:16,227
absolutely I'd love to get the

4568
02:26:18,244 --> 02:26:18,494
word out to36000 young people

4569
02:26:19,544 --> 02:26:19,794
and a matter of fact the

4570
02:26:20,011 --> 02:26:20,261
workforce connections were

4571
02:26:22,344 --> 02:26:22,594
bringing on two young people to

4572
02:26:23,044 --> 02:26:23,294
be content creators

4573
02:26:25,744 --> 02:26:25,994
to specifically target

4574
02:26:27,477 --> 02:26:27,727
through social media platforms

4575
02:26:29,477 --> 02:26:29,727
or outreach to young people is

4576
02:26:30,077 --> 02:26:30,327
that kind of idea by young

4577
02:26:30,644 --> 02:26:30,894
people for young people by young

4578
02:26:31,311 --> 02:26:31,561
people

4579
02:26:35,477 --> 02:26:35,727
and so and not that you know

4580
02:26:36,077 --> 02:26:36,327
folks in our generation you'd be

4581
02:26:37,711 --> 02:26:37,961
doing that stuff but we want the

4582
02:26:38,444 --> 02:26:38,694
young people doing that and we

4583
02:26:39,644 --> 02:26:39,894
do believe the war needs to get

4584
02:26:40,344 --> 02:26:40,594
out but

4585
02:26:42,544 --> 02:26:42,794
unfortunately there will be a

4586
02:26:44,011 --> 02:26:44,261
time when we reach our cap and

4587
02:26:45,744 --> 02:26:45,994
our funds are finite, you know

4588
02:26:47,844 --> 02:26:48,094
we would love to do more and

4589
02:26:48,444 --> 02:26:48,694
we're working with

4590
02:26:50,377 --> 02:26:50,627
various organizations to try to

4591
02:26:51,044 --> 02:26:51,294
bring in additional funding

4592
02:26:54,277 --> 02:26:54,527
but if we were given funding and

4593
02:26:55,744 --> 02:26:55,994
instead specifically focus on

4594
02:26:56,344 --> 02:26:56,594
foster youth again I want to be

4595
02:26:57,644 --> 02:26:57,894
clear we would gladly willingly

4596
02:27:02,011 --> 02:27:02,261
And if I can add madam chair for

4597
02:27:03,744 --> 02:27:03,994
the record I renebootamante

4598
02:27:05,744 --> 02:27:05,994
adams. I think that paints the

4599
02:27:07,477 --> 02:27:07,727
picture right so that you know

4600
02:27:08,244 --> 02:27:08,494
that those funds that we owe

4601
02:27:10,011 --> 02:27:10,261
with funds are federal dollars

4602
02:27:14,277 --> 02:27:14,527
are threshold is000 young adults

4603
02:27:18,311 --> 02:27:18,561
that's not even enough but

4604
02:27:20,311 --> 02:27:20,561
strategically and you're going

4605
02:27:21,977 --> 02:27:22,227
to hear from Clark County later

4606
02:27:24,277 --> 02:27:24,527
on they approached us to do

4607
02:27:27,511 --> 02:27:27,761
some pilot around a career

4608
02:27:29,677 --> 02:27:29,927
pathways and so we are ending

4609
02:27:30,311 --> 02:27:30,561
that pilot

4610
02:27:32,277 --> 02:27:32,527
and we'll have a report for

4611
02:27:34,011 --> 02:27:34,261
them by the end of this year on

4612
02:27:36,011 --> 02:27:36,261
the success of our efforts and

4613
02:27:38,011 --> 02:27:38,261
that's intentional it wasn't

4614
02:27:39,744 --> 02:27:39,994
that it was mandated it wasn't

4615
02:27:42,211 --> 02:27:42,461
in the legislature but it was

4616
02:27:44,011 --> 02:27:44,261
just intentional picking up the

4617
02:27:45,744 --> 02:27:45,994
phone and calling and saying how

4618
02:27:47,977 --> 02:27:48,227
could we if we if they made that

4619
02:27:50,044 --> 02:27:50,294
investment as a local

4620
02:27:51,777 --> 02:27:52,027
municipality how could we and

4621
02:27:54,011 --> 02:27:54,261
that's the kind of strategic

4622
02:27:55,511 --> 02:27:55,761
approach we have been taking as

4623
02:27:56,544 --> 02:27:56,794
an entity to have these

4624
02:27:58,011 --> 02:27:58,261
conversations with c local

4625
02:27:59,677 --> 02:27:59,927
municipalities but we would also

4626
02:28:00,344 --> 02:28:00,594
welcome

4627
02:28:02,477 --> 02:28:02,727
a conversation with the state

4628
02:28:05,544 --> 02:28:05,794
Dieter has tried some pilots

4629
02:28:07,511 --> 02:28:07,761
with us based on the demographic

4630
02:28:09,977 --> 02:28:10,227
data but could we collectively

4631
02:28:13,477 --> 02:28:13,727
do more? yes would we want

4632
02:28:14,444 --> 02:28:14,694
you guys to be intentional about

4633
02:28:16,177 --> 02:28:16,427
saying driving in this direction

4634
02:28:19,944 --> 02:28:20,194
yes and so I just say that

4635
02:28:22,011 --> 02:28:22,261
there's a a lot of room for

4636
02:28:23,977 --> 02:28:24,227
collective impact we're not

4637
02:28:25,711 --> 02:28:25,961
being mandated but what we are

4638
02:28:27,677 --> 02:28:27,927
doing is being intentional and

4639
02:28:28,344 --> 02:28:28,594
there's just a lot of room for

4640
02:28:29,011 --> 02:28:29,261
growth.

4641
02:28:37,877 --> 02:28:38,127
So assembly woman backus and

4642
02:28:38,544 --> 02:28:38,794
then senator Deatete.

4643
02:28:41,777 --> 02:28:42,027
thank you so much madam chairir

4644
02:28:42,411 --> 02:28:42,661
when you were talking about

4645
02:28:45,744 --> 02:28:45,994
like state state resources a

4646
02:28:47,511 --> 02:28:47,761
a couple of us obviously sit on

4647
02:28:48,277 --> 02:28:48,527
our money committee as well and

4648
02:28:50,244 --> 02:28:50,494
we start where can we find money

4649
02:28:52,444 --> 02:28:52,694
to invest in these programs

4650
02:28:53,011 --> 02:28:53,261
because

4651
02:28:56,511 --> 02:28:56,761
some of my pro bono work I mean

4652
02:28:57,811 --> 02:28:58,061
before I got really entrenched

4653
02:28:58,411 --> 02:28:58,661
in the legislature was

4654
02:28:59,777 --> 02:29:00,027
representing students in our

4655
02:29:01,511 --> 02:29:01,761
foster care system and it makes

4656
02:29:02,277 --> 02:29:02,527
me sad because I do know like

4657
02:29:05,744 --> 02:29:05,994
I've seen the progression of

4658
02:29:06,411 --> 02:29:06,661
some of our youth when they age

4659
02:29:08,311 --> 02:29:08,561
out and they may not be college

4660
02:29:10,011 --> 02:29:10,261
bound cause we do a lot in that

4661
02:29:13,511 --> 02:29:13,761
good space to provide free

4662
02:29:14,311 --> 02:29:14,561
college tuition for those that

4663
02:29:16,011 --> 02:29:16,261
do age out of the system but

4664
02:29:18,011 --> 02:29:18,261
there's really the those that

4665
02:29:19,777 --> 02:29:20,027
just kind of are like not lost

4666
02:29:20,411 --> 02:29:20,661
but trying to they have to

4667
02:29:21,777 --> 02:29:22,027
either go through a work path or

4668
02:29:23,744 --> 02:29:23,994
not and so I've had kids that

4669
02:29:24,411 --> 02:29:24,661
have gone up to Reno

4670
02:29:26,244 --> 02:29:26,494
but you know I keep thinking

4671
02:29:27,511 --> 02:29:27,761
about different pots and I'm not

4672
02:29:28,311 --> 02:29:28,561
sure if they're appropriate one

4673
02:29:30,277 --> 02:29:30,527
pot we immediately thought about

4674
02:29:32,344 --> 02:29:32,594
is the funding that Dieter gets

4675
02:29:34,011 --> 02:29:34,261
off the wage assessments and I

4676
02:29:35,511 --> 02:29:35,761
wasn't sure if that was just it

4677
02:29:37,544 --> 02:29:37,794
was just limited to

4678
02:29:38,344 --> 02:29:38,594
rehabilitation or if that is a

4679
02:29:39,777 --> 02:29:40,027
pot that we could looked at in

4680
02:29:41,777 --> 02:29:42,027
another pot and I make clark

4681
02:29:42,411 --> 02:29:42,661
County people are sitting back

4682
02:29:44,044 --> 02:29:44,294
there and this may not be

4683
02:29:46,044 --> 02:29:46,294
appropriate as we also have to

4684
02:29:48,277 --> 02:29:48,527
reinvest monies from the

4685
02:29:52,011 --> 02:29:52,261
state that were intended to

4686
02:29:53,744 --> 02:29:53,994
you know limit our foster care

4687
02:29:54,411 --> 02:29:54,661
youth

4688
02:29:57,511 --> 02:29:57,761
usually and I know we have a

4689
02:29:58,144 --> 02:29:58,394
lot of money out there that we

4690
02:29:59,777 --> 02:30:00,027
need to reinvest and I wasn't

4691
02:30:01,511 --> 02:30:01,761
sure if this is an appropriate

4692
02:30:02,311 --> 02:30:02,561
space because now these children

4693
02:30:04,077 --> 02:30:04,327
have already aged out of the

4694
02:30:05,477 --> 02:30:05,727
system so we're just kind of

4695
02:30:07,544 --> 02:30:07,794
being creative on some thoughts

4696
02:30:08,577 --> 02:30:08,827
not sure if you guys have any

4697
02:30:09,711 --> 02:30:09,961
thoughts on either of those

4698
02:30:14,244 --> 02:30:14,494
I would say yes yes and yes

4699
02:30:16,277 --> 02:30:16,527
that's it assembly member

4700
02:30:18,011 --> 02:30:18,261
backc is we have got to be

4701
02:30:19,977 --> 02:30:20,227
creative. I'm not talking about

4702
02:30:21,744 --> 02:30:21,994
new revenue I'm talking about

4703
02:30:23,511 --> 02:30:23,761
the existing revenue and how do

4704
02:30:24,244 --> 02:30:24,494
you look at the first agency

4705
02:30:26,044 --> 02:30:26,294
that you spoke about they have

4706
02:30:27,744 --> 02:30:27,994
been intentional to build a

4707
02:30:29,711 --> 02:30:29,961
relationship and that takes

4708
02:30:32,211 --> 02:30:32,461
collective impact leaders that

4709
02:30:34,244 --> 02:30:34,494
want to be at the table and

4710
02:30:35,511 --> 02:30:35,761
figuring it out so I'm not

4711
02:30:36,277 --> 02:30:36,527
talking about new money I'm

4712
02:30:38,244 --> 02:30:38,494
talking about the existing money

4713
02:30:40,177 --> 02:30:40,427
and how are we more strategic in

4714
02:30:43,511 --> 02:30:43,761
the investments of those now

4715
02:30:44,377 --> 02:30:44,627
some of it has to be a pilot

4716
02:30:44,944 --> 02:30:45,194
like we can't just

4717
02:30:48,244 --> 02:30:48,494
throw a large amount of money

4718
02:30:51,744 --> 02:30:51,994
so it has to be strategic it has

4719
02:30:53,811 --> 02:30:54,061
to be intentional and then

4720
02:30:55,744 --> 02:30:55,994
demonstrate that the needle can

4721
02:30:59,511 --> 02:30:59,761
be moved and we we have that

4722
02:31:01,777 --> 02:31:02,027
already in existence we've done

4723
02:31:03,511 --> 02:31:03,761
small pockets of that

4724
02:31:04,544 --> 02:31:04,794
information but I would just say

4725
02:31:07,511 --> 02:31:07,761
on your AB428 from last

4726
02:31:08,277 --> 02:31:08,527
legislative session that's a

4727
02:31:10,277 --> 02:31:10,527
vehicle that's being used and so

4728
02:31:13,511 --> 02:31:13,761
the short answer is yes and yes

4729
02:31:14,644 --> 02:31:14,894
I'll just make a comment I I

4730
02:31:15,311 --> 02:31:15,561
think

4731
02:31:17,744 --> 02:31:17,994
there's probably some pockets of

4732
02:31:18,444 --> 02:31:18,694
money and maybe these

4733
02:31:19,744 --> 02:31:19,994
conversations are appropriate

4734
02:31:21,477 --> 02:31:21,727
offline so we can kind of

4735
02:31:22,477 --> 02:31:22,727
reexamine how we're investing

4736
02:31:24,244 --> 02:31:24,494
funds and maybe we use them the

4737
02:31:27,511 --> 02:31:27,761
best that we can use them from

4738
02:31:28,211 --> 02:31:28,461
other spaces that may be notre

4739
02:31:29,711 --> 02:31:29,961
I'm so sorry did I cut you off?

4740
02:31:30,411 --> 02:31:30,661
did you have something down

4741
02:31:32,011 --> 02:31:32,261
ma'am I just wanted to add a

4742
02:31:32,577 --> 02:31:32,827
comment Riccardo Vilos for the

4743
02:31:33,244 --> 02:31:33,494
record thank you for that

4744
02:31:36,244 --> 02:31:36,494
again just to piggyback on my

4745
02:31:37,977 --> 02:31:38,227
colleague Irene's comment

4746
02:31:39,977 --> 02:31:40,227
Deeter's been a great partner in

4747
02:31:41,977 --> 02:31:42,227
this space Dieter funded us

4748
02:31:43,744 --> 02:31:43,994
last year half a million dollars

4749
02:31:46,211 --> 02:31:46,461
to focus onun youth again when I

4750
02:31:46,877 --> 02:31:47,127
sayun youth it's that whole

4751
02:31:50,111 --> 02:31:50,361
subpopulation foster youth

4752
02:31:50,644 --> 02:31:50,894
juvenile etc.

4753
02:31:53,777 --> 02:31:54,027
and then there were some

4754
02:31:55,511 --> 02:31:55,761
great outcomes from it and and

4755
02:31:56,544 --> 02:31:56,794
so they reinvested a million

4756
02:31:58,011 --> 02:31:58,261
dollars this year for southern

4757
02:31:59,511 --> 02:31:59,761
Nevada and I believe my

4758
02:32:00,044 --> 02:32:00,294
colleague will share invested a

4759
02:32:01,744 --> 02:32:01,994
million dollars for the north to

4760
02:32:03,511 --> 02:32:03,761
focus onpunity youth we have one

4761
02:32:04,211 --> 02:32:04,461
of the highest disconnection

4762
02:32:04,811 --> 02:32:05,061
rates in the in the country

4763
02:32:07,777 --> 02:32:08,027
and so Dieter has been a

4764
02:32:09,511 --> 02:32:09,761
great partner a willing partner

4765
02:32:10,111 --> 02:32:10,361
and they've shown it by their

4766
02:32:11,711 --> 02:32:11,961
actions so I do want to commend

4767
02:32:12,411 --> 02:32:12,661
them and recognize them

4768
02:32:12,977 --> 02:32:13,227
publicly.

4769
02:32:16,044 --> 02:32:16,294
I would just echo that I know

4770
02:32:17,511 --> 02:32:17,761
director soul has done some good

4771
02:32:18,177 --> 02:32:18,427
work so I'll echo your comments

4772
02:32:18,877 --> 02:32:19,127
thank you.

4773
02:32:20,277 --> 02:32:20,527
Senator Denett

4774
02:32:24,544 --> 02:32:24,794
thank you madam chair and thank

4775
02:32:25,511 --> 02:32:25,761
you so much for the

4776
02:32:27,511 --> 02:32:27,761
presentation.uick first question

4777
02:32:29,511 --> 02:32:29,761
because it's more of a this

4778
02:32:31,511 --> 02:32:31,761
is gonna be more commentary that

4779
02:32:33,744 --> 02:32:33,994
could result into like data

4780
02:32:35,744 --> 02:32:35,994
requests does workforce

4781
02:32:37,544 --> 02:32:37,794
connections right now oversee

4782
02:32:39,544 --> 02:32:39,794
the employee the employnevada

4783
02:32:40,177 --> 02:32:40,427
hubs I didn't know if I caught

4784
02:32:41,544 --> 02:32:41,794
that in like what's your

4785
02:32:42,311 --> 02:32:42,561
relationship to it do you

4786
02:32:43,777 --> 02:32:44,027
control the funding for them or

4787
02:32:45,511 --> 02:32:45,761
you the board like I'm trying to

4788
02:32:46,244 --> 02:32:46,494
understand more of the

4789
02:32:48,044 --> 02:32:48,294
regulatory structure. thank you

4790
02:32:48,711 --> 02:32:48,961
for the question so

4791
02:32:51,511 --> 02:32:51,761
at a federal level they're

4792
02:32:53,677 --> 02:32:53,927
labeled or recognized identified

4793
02:32:54,344 --> 02:32:54,594
as American job centers

4794
02:32:56,011 --> 02:32:56,261
so that's kind of the federal

4795
02:32:57,777 --> 02:32:58,027
recognition what we did in the

4796
02:32:59,511 --> 02:32:59,761
state of Nevada was brand them

4797
02:33:01,744 --> 02:33:01,994
as employing the hubs and so

4798
02:33:03,511 --> 02:33:03,761
employingvhubs that's where

4799
02:33:04,211 --> 02:33:04,461
and there's career hubs that

4800
02:33:05,977 --> 02:33:06,227
focus on adults youth hubs that

4801
02:33:07,744 --> 02:33:07,994
focus on youth and the business

4802
02:33:09,744 --> 02:33:09,994
hubs that focus on businesses

4803
02:33:11,511 --> 02:33:11,761
and so as the local workforce

4804
02:33:13,744 --> 02:33:13,994
development board we received

4805
02:33:15,811 --> 02:33:16,061
the WIOA funds and then through

4806
02:33:17,544 --> 02:33:17,794
a competitive procurement

4807
02:33:19,744 --> 02:33:19,994
process have service

4808
02:33:21,544 --> 02:33:21,794
providers that actually deliver

4809
02:33:22,711 --> 02:33:22,961
the services to individuals

4810
02:33:23,277 --> 02:33:23,527
throughout the state

4811
02:33:26,044 --> 02:33:26,294
and so we're more our role as

4812
02:33:27,777 --> 02:33:28,027
workforce connections the local

4813
02:33:29,477 --> 02:33:29,727
workforce development board is

4814
02:33:30,277 --> 02:33:30,527
monitoring for compliance and

4815
02:33:31,677 --> 02:33:31,927
providing technical assistance

4816
02:33:32,344 --> 02:33:32,594
to these

4817
02:33:37,511 --> 02:33:37,761
But I if I could add senator I

4818
02:33:39,744 --> 02:33:39,994
would just say that what's been

4819
02:33:41,477 --> 02:33:41,727
magical is the strategic

4820
02:33:44,244 --> 02:33:44,494
partnerships so that 27 that

4821
02:33:46,011 --> 02:33:46,261
doesn't occur in every other

4822
02:33:47,777 --> 02:33:48,027
state. It occurs here and the

4823
02:33:50,011 --> 02:33:50,261
reason why is intentionality and

4824
02:33:52,011 --> 02:33:52,261
partnerships so those entities

4825
02:33:53,744 --> 02:33:53,994
like the libraries like the

4826
02:33:56,277 --> 02:33:56,527
chambers like city halls they

4827
02:33:58,011 --> 02:33:58,261
don't have to have an employee

4828
02:33:59,777 --> 02:34:00,027
an American job set an employee

4829
02:34:02,044 --> 02:34:02,294
in hub in their place they

4830
02:34:03,677 --> 02:34:03,927
invite us and so we are

4831
02:34:06,511 --> 02:34:06,761
in there and are able to expand

4832
02:34:08,011 --> 02:34:08,261
our footprint because of those

4833
02:34:10,277 --> 02:34:10,527
relationships so that means that

4834
02:34:11,744 --> 02:34:11,994
they don't charge us for

4835
02:34:13,744 --> 02:34:13,994
infrastructure they don't charge

4836
02:34:15,744 --> 02:34:15,994
us for electricity or for water

4837
02:34:17,744 --> 02:34:17,994
they invite us to be able to

4838
02:34:18,477 --> 02:34:18,727
serve the constituents so they

4839
02:34:20,011 --> 02:34:20,261
don't have to travel far to be

4840
02:34:22,277 --> 02:34:22,527
able to get the services that's

4841
02:34:24,011 --> 02:34:24,261
happening in this region and

4842
02:34:26,011 --> 02:34:26,261
it's a state best practice and

4843
02:34:27,744 --> 02:34:27,994
that's been our key magical

4844
02:34:29,477 --> 02:34:29,727
thing is to be able to expand

4845
02:34:30,511 --> 02:34:30,761
our footprint because most

4846
02:34:32,277 --> 02:34:32,527
states just have one ande

4847
02:34:33,744 --> 02:34:33,994
everybody has to travel to that

4848
02:34:34,444 --> 02:34:34,694
one center

4849
02:34:34,911 --> 02:34:35,161
not here.

4850
02:34:40,011 --> 02:34:40,261
you are firing me up sorry I'm

4851
02:34:42,011 --> 02:34:42,261
just so now now to give you the

4852
02:34:43,811 --> 02:34:44,061
commentary of the of the of the

4853
02:34:44,544 --> 02:34:44,794
challenge so

4854
02:34:47,711 --> 02:34:47,961
I have actually gone through the

4855
02:34:49,711 --> 02:34:49,961
employee andv hub I was

4856
02:34:51,977 --> 02:34:52,227
unemployed not too long ago

4857
02:34:54,011 --> 02:34:54,261
so I've seen the challenges

4858
02:34:56,477 --> 02:34:56,727
just in full transparency

4859
02:34:57,777 --> 02:34:58,027
hopefully the voters don't

4860
02:34:59,477 --> 02:34:59,727
penalize me for this but you

4861
02:35:01,511 --> 02:35:01,761
know I have navigated this

4862
02:35:03,844 --> 02:35:04,094
difficulty and I think that

4863
02:35:06,244 --> 02:35:06,494
as you all are thinking through

4864
02:35:08,077 --> 02:35:08,327
the strategies of how you meet

4865
02:35:08,744 --> 02:35:08,994
workers where they're at.

4866
02:35:11,777 --> 02:35:12,027
in this if they find

4867
02:35:13,477 --> 02:35:13,727
themselves in that precarious

4868
02:35:15,744 --> 02:35:15,994
situation, I will be honest that

4869
02:35:17,477 --> 02:35:17,727
the current system that we have

4870
02:35:20,011 --> 02:35:20,261
does not work when you are

4871
02:35:21,744 --> 02:35:21,994
and this is and I've had this

4872
02:35:22,377 --> 02:35:22,627
discussion with Dieter as well

4873
02:35:23,777 --> 02:35:24,027
so I'm just telling you guys

4874
02:35:25,744 --> 02:35:25,994
because it's gonna this is going

4875
02:35:26,411 --> 02:35:26,661
to be a data request

4876
02:35:29,777 --> 02:35:30,027
when Dieter requests you to go

4877
02:35:32,011 --> 02:35:32,261
to an employee invub right you

4878
02:35:32,611 --> 02:35:32,861
get the email notification

4879
02:35:34,011 --> 02:35:34,261
saying you have to be there at a

4880
02:35:35,644 --> 02:35:35,894
certain time you can't miss it

4881
02:35:39,477 --> 02:35:39,727
as part of that circumstance

4882
02:35:41,477 --> 02:35:41,727
when you are triaged when you

4883
02:35:42,211 --> 02:35:42,461
arrive at the employer nv hub

4884
02:35:45,511 --> 02:35:45,761
you're asked to do some

4885
02:35:46,044 --> 02:35:46,294
mental health

4886
02:35:49,777 --> 02:35:50,027
questionnaire which by the way

4887
02:35:51,711 --> 02:35:51,961
no one reads and then after

4888
02:35:53,944 --> 02:35:54,194
waiting in line you wait for

4889
02:35:55,477 --> 02:35:55,727
your appointment then you get

4890
02:35:56,211 --> 02:35:56,461
your appointment and then they

4891
02:35:58,011 --> 02:35:58,261
just ask you about alert your

4892
02:35:59,477 --> 02:35:59,727
situation you know what you're

4893
02:36:01,744 --> 02:36:01,994
dealing with and then they

4894
02:36:02,344 --> 02:36:02,594
scheduled the next one and they

4895
02:36:03,711 --> 02:36:03,961
say make sure that you apply for

4896
02:36:05,477 --> 02:36:05,727
two jobs and we'll see you at

4897
02:36:06,177 --> 02:36:06,427
your next appointment.

4898
02:36:08,211 --> 02:36:08,461
The reason why I'm explaining

4899
02:36:10,011 --> 02:36:10,261
that to you as a circumstance is

4900
02:36:10,711 --> 02:36:10,961
because I do not believe

4901
02:36:14,011 --> 02:36:14,261
our state including the work

4902
02:36:15,511 --> 02:36:15,761
that you guys are doing withloy

4903
02:36:16,144 --> 02:36:16,394
andV and I don't know who's

4904
02:36:17,477 --> 02:36:17,727
responsible but that's why I'm

4905
02:36:18,311 --> 02:36:18,561
asking who is responsible for

4906
02:36:19,977 --> 02:36:20,227
overseeing how these programs

4907
02:36:22,244 --> 02:36:22,494
are facilitated is we are not

4908
02:36:23,744 --> 02:36:23,994
actually doing the triage

4909
02:36:25,511 --> 02:36:25,761
services that we need and

4910
02:36:26,277 --> 02:36:26,527
looking at the workers based on

4911
02:36:29,511 --> 02:36:29,761
the skills that they have. they

4912
02:36:31,477 --> 02:36:31,727
are going to be to the questions

4913
02:36:32,211 --> 02:36:32,461
that we're seeing in these

4914
02:36:33,744 --> 02:36:33,994
presentations. there are going

4915
02:36:35,744 --> 02:36:35,994
to be displaced workers that are

4916
02:36:37,511 --> 02:36:37,761
working professionals white

4917
02:36:40,044 --> 02:36:40,294
collar jobs that we're doing law

4918
02:36:40,677 --> 02:36:40,927
accounting and so forth

4919
02:36:44,344 --> 02:36:44,594
and we are treating every single

4920
02:36:46,277 --> 02:36:46,527
person that is un unemployed as

4921
02:36:49,477 --> 02:36:49,727
a cookie cutter. here's your

4922
02:36:51,477 --> 02:36:51,727
application here's the next stop

4923
02:36:52,511 --> 02:36:52,761
and I don't think our current

4924
02:36:54,011 --> 02:36:54,261
infrastructure including through

4925
02:36:55,511 --> 02:36:55,761
the work that you guys are doing

4926
02:36:57,477 --> 02:36:57,727
are meeting that demand and so

4927
02:37:00,011 --> 02:37:00,261
what I would like to see is a

4928
02:37:01,544 --> 02:37:01,794
plan of how you're going to

4929
02:37:03,744 --> 02:37:03,994
reform how we do triage for

4930
02:37:04,344 --> 02:37:04,594
workers as they're coming

4931
02:37:06,044 --> 02:37:06,294
through and what wrapround

4932
02:37:07,811 --> 02:37:08,061
support services we're actually

4933
02:37:10,044 --> 02:37:10,294
looking at per worker because

4934
02:37:10,711 --> 02:37:10,961
unfortunately the placement

4935
02:37:14,011 --> 02:37:14,261
of working professional into

4936
02:37:16,111 --> 02:37:16,361
a a job at

4937
02:37:19,744 --> 02:37:19,994
in retail and so forth might not

4938
02:37:20,477 --> 02:37:20,727
make as appropriate sense and I

4939
02:37:22,011 --> 02:37:22,261
think this is going to become a

4940
02:37:24,011 --> 02:37:24,261
a worse issue that we're

4941
02:37:25,511 --> 02:37:25,761
gonna face. I think obviously

4942
02:37:26,277 --> 02:37:26,527
that comes more in the

4943
02:37:27,744 --> 02:37:27,994
conversation with how we work

4944
02:37:28,344 --> 02:37:28,594
with higher ed and making sure

4945
02:37:29,744 --> 02:37:29,994
that workers are retrained and

4946
02:37:30,444 --> 02:37:30,694
that they actually have the

4947
02:37:32,077 --> 02:37:32,327
resources or supporting

4948
02:37:33,744 --> 02:37:33,994
entrepreneurship in a different

4949
02:37:35,744 --> 02:37:35,994
manner but I just I will be

4950
02:37:36,377 --> 02:37:36,627
honest, I don't think you guys

4951
02:37:37,511 --> 02:37:37,761
are doing the work that we need

4952
02:37:38,244 --> 02:37:38,494
to be doing right now and I

4953
02:37:39,744 --> 02:37:39,994
would be happy to figure it out

4954
02:37:41,744 --> 02:37:41,994
because I don't think

4955
02:37:43,744 --> 02:37:43,994
certainly their taxpayer dollars

4956
02:37:44,444 --> 02:37:44,694
that could be expended better

4957
02:37:46,111 --> 02:37:46,361
instead of treating everyone

4958
02:37:46,744 --> 02:37:46,994
like a factory line, but I don't

4959
02:37:47,411 --> 02:37:47,661
know if you guys have

4960
02:37:50,144 --> 02:37:50,394
any commentary to that madam

4961
02:37:51,477 --> 02:37:51,727
chair through you Riccardo Vilos

4962
02:37:52,177 --> 02:37:52,427
for the record thank you for

4963
02:37:52,744 --> 02:37:52,994
that senator

4964
02:37:55,744 --> 02:37:55,994
you know we always believe and

4965
02:37:56,377 --> 02:37:56,627
continuously improving you know

4966
02:37:57,744 --> 02:37:57,994
our efficiencies right for the

4967
02:37:59,511 --> 02:37:59,761
human being that comes in for

4968
02:38:00,244 --> 02:38:00,494
services I'm not exact exactly

4969
02:38:01,977 --> 02:38:02,227
sure which employingvhub you

4970
02:38:04,244 --> 02:38:04,494
went to you know or there's

4971
02:38:05,977 --> 02:38:06,227
nuances in it you know as far as

4972
02:38:07,477 --> 02:38:07,727
which direction you went and we

4973
02:38:08,211 --> 02:38:08,461
don't want to get the

4974
02:38:10,044 --> 02:38:10,294
conversation with the the human

4975
02:38:11,511 --> 02:38:11,761
about oh you're here for this

4976
02:38:13,511 --> 02:38:13,761
you need to go see TitleI oh

4977
02:38:14,111 --> 02:38:14,361
you're here for that go see

4978
02:38:15,677 --> 02:38:15,927
Title 2 ohitle1 we just want to

4979
02:38:16,344 --> 02:38:16,594
provide

4980
02:38:19,744 --> 02:38:19,994
but it does make a difference

4981
02:38:20,377 --> 02:38:20,627
what your process is depending

4982
02:38:22,011 --> 02:38:22,261
on which one you go to so that

4983
02:38:23,644 --> 02:38:23,894
that's number one nonetheless it

4984
02:38:28,211 --> 02:38:28,461
you I think the other thing too

4985
02:38:31,744 --> 02:38:31,994
is that that I would share so

4986
02:38:33,977 --> 02:38:34,227
we keep a track we we track

4987
02:38:34,544 --> 02:38:34,794
customer traffic at our American

4988
02:38:35,211 --> 02:38:35,461
job centers.

4989
02:38:39,711 --> 02:38:39,961
we have on average on a

4990
02:38:42,244 --> 02:38:42,494
weekly average4 to500 touch

4991
02:38:45,511 --> 02:38:45,761
points on a weekly basis

4992
02:38:46,277 --> 02:38:46,527
let's say so it's about if

4993
02:38:49,477 --> 02:38:49,727
you round it out to52 weeks is

4994
02:38:51,477 --> 02:38:51,727
probably about1314 maybe close

4995
02:38:53,977 --> 02:38:54,227
to15,000 you know humans and

4996
02:38:54,677 --> 02:38:54,927
some or another kind of coming

4997
02:38:55,344 --> 02:38:55,594
across our system

4998
02:38:57,711 --> 02:38:57,961
the funding that we have in

4999
02:38:59,744 --> 02:38:59,994
southern Nevada is only has

5000
02:39:00,377 --> 02:39:00,627
the capacity to serve1,500

5001
02:39:00,944 --> 02:39:01,194
people.

5002
02:39:04,144 --> 02:39:04,394
yet about15,000 are coming

5003
02:39:04,677 --> 02:39:04,927
across the system

5004
02:39:07,777 --> 02:39:08,027
the staffing capacity you

5005
02:39:09,744 --> 02:39:09,994
know is an issue that we look at

5006
02:39:11,477 --> 02:39:11,727
you know and so sometimes quite

5007
02:39:12,211 --> 02:39:12,461
frankly to address it we either

5008
02:39:14,244 --> 02:39:14,494
say hey serve more or serve less

5009
02:39:15,811 --> 02:39:16,061
people so you can be more

5010
02:39:16,344 --> 02:39:16,594
efficient

5011
02:39:18,444 --> 02:39:18,694
right or continue to serve the

5012
02:39:20,277 --> 02:39:20,527
need and it it it creates

5013
02:39:21,977 --> 02:39:22,227
bottlenecks quite frankly you

5014
02:39:23,744 --> 02:39:23,994
know and so we're looking at it

5015
02:39:24,411 --> 02:39:24,661
to create efficiencies for

5016
02:39:25,011 --> 02:39:25,261
sure

5017
02:39:27,977 --> 02:39:28,227
and so I appreciate that

5018
02:39:29,711 --> 02:39:29,961
feedback I appreciate that

5019
02:39:31,477 --> 02:39:31,727
insight that that insight

5020
02:39:32,177 --> 02:39:32,427
insight and we'll definitely

5021
02:39:33,744 --> 02:39:33,994
take it to heart and we're we're

5022
02:39:34,444 --> 02:39:34,694
looking at it though because

5023
02:39:35,511 --> 02:39:35,761
this isn't the first time we've

5024
02:39:37,644 --> 02:39:37,894
heard about our efficiencies but

5025
02:39:38,344 --> 02:39:38,594
that's the context we deal with

5026
02:39:40,244 --> 02:39:40,494
If I could add senator one of

5027
02:39:41,744 --> 02:39:41,994
the things that I learned in

5028
02:39:44,011 --> 02:39:44,261
coming into the space is that

5029
02:39:45,744 --> 02:39:45,994
that we owe of funds at least

5030
02:39:47,744 --> 02:39:47,994
from aitle I perspective that we

5031
02:39:49,744 --> 02:39:49,994
have ownership over is to serve

5032
02:39:51,744 --> 02:39:51,994
those that have the highest

5033
02:39:53,744 --> 02:39:53,994
barriers that need to be removed

5034
02:39:55,811 --> 02:39:56,061
like somebody doesn't have

5035
02:39:59,711 --> 02:39:59,961
right myself migrant farm

5036
02:40:00,444 --> 02:40:00,694
worker right? I didn't have

5037
02:40:02,211 --> 02:40:02,461
mentors in my life. I didn't

5038
02:40:05,477 --> 02:40:05,727
have my first job that you know

5039
02:40:07,977 --> 02:40:08,227
my my parents got for me it was

5040
02:40:12,244 --> 02:40:12,494
just me and so compound that

5041
02:40:14,044 --> 02:40:14,294
if I were to have a kids at a

5042
02:40:16,011 --> 02:40:16,261
young age I was homeless I was

5043
02:40:17,844 --> 02:40:18,094
in a foster care system that's

5044
02:40:23,511 --> 02:40:23,761
our clientele now if you're a an

5045
02:40:24,177 --> 02:40:24,427
accountant maybe looking for

5046
02:40:27,477 --> 02:40:27,727
work if you are you know you

5047
02:40:30,177 --> 02:40:30,427
said something about law yes

5048
02:40:32,211 --> 02:40:32,461
another entity in the ecosystem

5049
02:40:34,411 --> 02:40:34,661
it that's their

5050
02:40:39,511 --> 02:40:39,761
target market could we do

5051
02:40:41,511 --> 02:40:41,761
better absolutely and that takes

5052
02:40:43,977 --> 02:40:44,227
intentionality it is the

5053
02:40:45,744 --> 02:40:45,994
willingness and we're headed in

5054
02:40:47,477 --> 02:40:47,727
that direction. are we perfect?

5055
02:40:49,677 --> 02:40:49,927
no but thank you for exposing

5056
02:40:50,344 --> 02:40:50,594
where we need to improve.

5057
02:40:59,844 --> 02:41:00,094
no additional questions

5058
02:41:05,477 --> 02:41:05,727
I will cause we have probably

5059
02:41:06,111 --> 02:41:06,361
some additional conversation

5060
02:41:08,244 --> 02:41:08,494
we'll probably have offline but

5061
02:41:09,744 --> 02:41:09,994
number one thank you guys for

5062
02:41:10,444 --> 02:41:10,694
coming to present

5063
02:41:12,244 --> 02:41:12,494
you know I care about

5064
02:41:15,677 --> 02:41:15,927
several topics but

5065
02:41:19,477 --> 02:41:19,727
354 is just something I'm just

5066
02:41:20,211 --> 02:41:20,461
gonna keep checking on while I'm

5067
02:41:23,777 --> 02:41:24,027
in the building the AI is I

5068
02:41:24,344 --> 02:41:24,594
think going to be a constant

5069
02:41:24,977 --> 02:41:25,227
conversation

5070
02:41:28,211 --> 02:41:28,461
because they're serious

5071
02:41:30,244 --> 02:41:30,494
projections out there on on huge

5072
02:41:31,677 --> 02:41:31,927
job losses in several sectors

5073
02:41:34,177 --> 02:41:34,427
and I just think it's

5074
02:41:35,977 --> 02:41:36,227
something that has to become a

5075
02:41:38,211 --> 02:41:38,461
part of our constant topic as a

5076
02:41:41,711 --> 02:41:41,961
legislature being proactive and

5077
02:41:42,377 --> 02:41:42,627
making sure that we have systems

5078
02:41:43,044 --> 02:41:43,294
in place

5079
02:41:47,511 --> 02:41:47,761
when those losses happen and

5080
02:41:49,477 --> 02:41:49,727
because not everybody is

5081
02:41:51,944 --> 02:41:52,194
going to be upskilled into a new

5082
02:41:54,444 --> 02:41:54,694
area, right and so there's a

5083
02:41:56,211 --> 02:41:56,461
huge question on what that looks

5084
02:41:59,944 --> 02:42:00,194
like how we're going to mitigate

5085
02:42:02,211 --> 02:42:02,461
that how we're gonna slow

5086
02:42:05,477 --> 02:42:05,727
this down to try to keep some

5087
02:42:07,744 --> 02:42:07,994
normalcy to employment which is

5088
02:42:09,744 --> 02:42:09,994
my goal how to slow it down and

5089
02:42:12,411 --> 02:42:12,661
keep some normalcy right not

5090
02:42:12,977 --> 02:42:13,227
complete wipeouts.

5091
02:42:18,244 --> 02:42:18,494
and so I think that that's why

5092
02:42:19,777 --> 02:42:20,027
you know to bring up question

5093
02:42:21,744 --> 02:42:21,994
two and three why that's on the

5094
02:42:24,011 --> 02:42:24,261
agenda is because you know I

5095
02:42:25,511 --> 02:42:25,761
think it's just a need to

5096
02:42:26,077 --> 02:42:26,327
constantly monitor and be

5097
02:42:29,477 --> 02:42:29,727
proactive, right? so we thank

5098
02:42:30,444 --> 02:42:30,694
you for your presentation and

5099
02:42:32,277 --> 02:42:32,527
for your time waiting and this

5100
02:42:33,977 --> 02:42:34,227
morning and listening to our

5101
02:42:34,544 --> 02:42:34,794
prediction markets.

5102
02:42:38,411 --> 02:42:38,661
thank you madam all right

5103
02:42:43,511 --> 02:42:43,761

presenter which isilt Stewart of

5105
02:42:46,311 --> 02:42:46,561
Nevadaorks.

5106
02:43:12,044 --> 02:43:12,294
Hi good morning my name's meelt

5107
02:43:13,511 --> 02:43:13,761
Stuart I'm the CEO for

5108
02:43:15,777 --> 02:43:16,027
Nevadaorks. Nevada Works is the

5109
02:43:16,511 --> 02:43:16,761
local workforce development

5110
02:43:19,511 --> 02:43:19,761
board for the 13 counties that

5111
02:43:20,277 --> 02:43:20,527
were forced connections does not

5112
02:43:22,277 --> 02:43:22,527
cover so as you heard

5113
02:43:23,511 --> 02:43:23,761
workforce connectctions

5114
02:43:24,311 --> 02:43:24,561
coverslinncolnn ass meal and

5115
02:43:25,811 --> 02:43:26,061
Clark and we cover the rest of

5116
02:43:28,011 --> 02:43:28,261
the state which is70,000 square

5117
02:43:31,511 --> 02:43:31,761
miles about three quarter of a

5118
02:43:34,311 --> 02:43:34,561
million people and so most of

5119
02:43:36,011 --> 02:43:36,261
what you're going to hear me say

5120
02:43:39,677 --> 02:43:39,927
today is very very similar right

5121
02:43:40,344 --> 02:43:40,594
because the ecosystem

5122
02:43:41,044 --> 02:43:41,294
is is very similar

5123
02:43:43,811 --> 02:43:44,061
but we have you know a unique

5124
02:43:45,511 --> 02:43:45,761
set of challenges due to

5125
02:43:47,511 --> 02:43:47,761
that70,000 square miles and so

5126
02:43:49,677 --> 02:43:49,927
all kind of contextualize that

5127
02:43:50,344 --> 02:43:50,594
just a little bit please

5128
02:43:53,977 --> 02:43:54,227
so this the the questions

5129
02:43:56,211 --> 02:43:56,461
that that that you asked I'm

5130
02:43:57,944 --> 02:43:58,194
and I'm not gonna kind of repeat

5131
02:43:58,677 --> 02:43:58,927
some of the same things that you

5132
02:43:59,744 --> 02:43:59,994
heard. I wanna really get to

5133
02:44:01,511 --> 02:44:01,761
some the meat of what I think it

5134
02:44:02,444 --> 02:44:02,694
was that some of the questions

5135
02:44:03,144 --> 02:44:03,394
that you're asking so next slide

5136
02:44:05,477 --> 02:44:05,727
so

5137
02:44:06,477 --> 02:44:06,727
as you heard Workforce

5138
02:44:08,011 --> 02:44:08,261
connectction say foster youth

5139
02:44:10,044 --> 02:44:10,294
yes right yes thank you for

5140
02:44:11,744 --> 02:44:11,994
having this conversation. we

5141
02:44:12,444 --> 02:44:12,694
think that it's it's it's vital

5142
02:44:13,111 --> 02:44:13,361
conversation to have

5143
02:44:18,011 --> 02:44:18,261
the foster youth are one of

5144
02:44:19,744 --> 02:44:19,994
multiple barriers or different

5145
02:44:21,511 --> 02:44:21,761
kinds of barriers that

5146
02:44:23,511 --> 02:44:23,761
individuals can have and and

5147
02:44:24,244 --> 02:44:24,494
need our support right you need

5148
02:44:26,244 --> 02:44:26,494
our service so foster youth

5149
02:44:28,211 --> 02:44:28,461
are are served through that

5150
02:44:31,744 --> 02:44:31,994
broader ecosystem and you

5151
02:44:33,511 --> 02:44:33,761
know the when we're bringing

5152
02:44:35,911 --> 02:44:36,161
them into the ecosystem if we go

5153
02:44:36,577 --> 02:44:36,827
to the next slide

5154
02:44:39,511 --> 02:44:39,761
we don't always know that they

5155
02:44:41,511 --> 02:44:41,761
are foster youth, right? I mean

5156
02:44:42,277 --> 02:44:42,527
they have to self identify. they

5157
02:44:44,044 --> 02:44:44,294
have to tell us that they're so

5158
02:44:45,977 --> 02:44:46,227
foster youth and quite frankly

5159
02:44:48,211 --> 02:44:48,461
as we think in terms of

5160
02:44:49,777 --> 02:44:50,027
eligibility, right when we

5161
02:44:50,344 --> 02:44:50,594
talking when we're talking about

5162
02:44:52,011 --> 02:44:52,261
federal funding or funding in

5163
02:44:53,511 --> 02:44:53,761
general there's eligibility

5164
02:44:54,144 --> 02:44:54,394
requirements associated with

5165
02:44:56,011 --> 02:44:56,261
that and and there's multiple

5166
02:44:57,777 --> 02:44:58,027
different thresholds or

5167
02:44:59,744 --> 02:44:59,994
eligibility thresholds for for

5168
02:45:01,511 --> 02:45:01,761
out of school youth for those 6

5169
02:45:04,244 --> 02:45:04,494
to 24 yearolds and so there are

5170
02:45:06,077 --> 02:45:06,327
times where you know, I check a

5171
02:45:06,744 --> 02:45:06,994
box right? I

5172
02:45:10,011 --> 02:45:10,261
I was made eligible because I am

5173
02:45:11,744 --> 02:45:11,994
pregnant parenting or or what

5174
02:45:13,744 --> 02:45:13,994
have you and we don't capture

5175
02:45:15,711 --> 02:45:15,961
that so so rather than you know

5176
02:45:17,477 --> 02:45:17,727
have the conversation around the

5177
02:45:18,211 --> 02:45:18,461
foster youth in general, I think

5178
02:45:19,511 --> 02:45:19,761
it's a you know the conversation

5179
02:45:21,511 --> 02:45:21,761
is to your point Senatorneal how

5180
02:45:22,311 --> 02:45:22,561
do we you know how that's a

5181
02:45:24,244 --> 02:45:24,494
terrible story right and

5182
02:45:26,344 --> 02:45:26,594
everybody in this room hears

5183
02:45:27,777 --> 02:45:28,027
that and says we need to be

5184
02:45:30,544 --> 02:45:30,794
better and and100% so so how

5185
02:45:31,777 --> 02:45:32,027
do we do that right so we're

5186
02:45:34,277 --> 02:45:34,527
we're developing a system that

5187
02:45:36,077 --> 02:45:36,327
anybody that that can can come

5188
02:45:36,777 --> 02:45:37,027
in the door and then

5189
02:45:38,577 --> 02:45:38,827
we help them accordingly and so

5190
02:45:39,244 --> 02:45:39,494
next slide please

5191
02:45:43,744 --> 02:45:43,994
so again they don't always

5192
02:45:45,511 --> 02:45:45,761
necessarily tell us that they

5193
02:45:47,544 --> 02:45:47,794
are that they are foster

5194
02:45:48,244 --> 02:45:48,494
youth but that doesn't matter

5195
02:45:50,011 --> 02:45:50,261
right so we're going to serve

5196
02:45:51,744 --> 02:45:51,994
them in a way that meets their

5197
02:45:54,211 --> 02:45:54,461
needs and irrespective of of

5198
02:45:55,711 --> 02:45:55,961
whether they've identified as

5199
02:45:56,544 --> 02:45:56,794
foster youth or not next

5200
02:45:57,111 --> 02:45:57,361
slide

5201
02:46:01,777 --> 02:46:02,027
so with regards to AB354, I mean

5202
02:46:03,477 --> 02:46:03,727
the the easiest way that I can

5203
02:46:04,411 --> 02:46:04,661
put this is that when we get the

5204
02:46:05,077 --> 02:46:05,327
AB354 report

5205
02:46:08,211 --> 02:46:08,461
12 of our 13 counties meet that

5206
02:46:09,877 --> 02:46:10,127
one of those thresholds in one

5207
02:46:10,544 --> 02:46:10,794
way shape or form

5208
02:46:13,777 --> 02:46:14,027
and and so what does that mean?

5209
02:46:15,511 --> 02:46:15,761
It means that that's our

5210
02:46:16,077 --> 02:46:16,327
delivery of service model. I

5211
02:46:18,011 --> 02:46:18,261
mean we have made this delivery

5212
02:46:18,711 --> 02:46:18,961
our our service model be

5213
02:46:19,311 --> 02:46:19,561
reflective

5214
02:46:23,477 --> 02:46:23,727
of the the greater need so if we

5215
02:46:25,744 --> 02:46:25,994
think in terms of of for

5216
02:46:29,744 --> 02:46:29,994
example 92% of the folks that

5217
02:46:31,877 --> 02:46:32,127
the across our our region are

5218
02:46:32,544 --> 02:46:32,794
are

5219
02:46:34,544 --> 02:46:34,794
meet one of the barriers or one

5220
02:46:35,811 --> 02:46:36,061
of the thresholds for

5221
02:46:37,777 --> 02:46:38,027
eligibility for for the

5222
02:46:39,744 --> 02:46:39,994
services that we that that we

5223
02:46:43,777 --> 02:46:44,027
provide the the 20 to 24

5224
02:46:45,477 --> 02:46:45,727
yearolds because the report's

5225
02:46:46,511 --> 02:46:46,761
broken up into certain

5226
02:46:48,277 --> 02:46:48,527
categories but that 20 to 24

5227
02:46:51,744 --> 02:46:51,994
yearold across again uh12 of the

5228
02:46:53,744 --> 02:46:53,994
13 counties they rise up to that

5229
02:46:55,744 --> 02:46:55,994
level where it would it would

5230
02:46:59,511 --> 02:46:59,761
trigger the the AB354 so

5231
02:47:01,911 --> 02:47:02,161
so I say it to see this that

5232
02:47:02,477 --> 02:47:02,727
that is our model right? so we

5233
02:47:07,511 --> 02:47:07,761
use AB354 to help us focus

5234
02:47:08,244 --> 02:47:08,494
investments but if we

5235
02:47:12,011 --> 02:47:12,261
we have to use the we have to in

5236
02:47:13,744 --> 02:47:13,994
order to have an impactful model

5237
02:47:15,977 --> 02:47:16,227
we have to really build

5238
02:47:18,277 --> 02:47:18,527
the model or the ecosystem to be

5239
02:47:20,277 --> 02:47:20,527
able to serve all those all

5240
02:47:22,244 --> 02:47:22,494
those def different demographics

5241
02:47:25,511 --> 02:47:25,761
so one of the things that we

5242
02:47:27,711 --> 02:47:27,961
were able to do as an example

5243
02:47:29,744 --> 02:47:29,994
we saw that across 9 of the 13

5244
02:47:31,911 --> 02:47:32,161
counties Native Americans tri

5245
02:47:32,544 --> 02:47:32,794
tribes were

5246
02:47:36,044 --> 02:47:36,294
we met that threshold

5247
02:47:40,311 --> 02:47:40,561
for AB354 and so four years

5248
02:47:42,011 --> 02:47:42,261
ago Nevadaorks applied for and

5249
02:47:43,477 --> 02:47:43,727
received a good jobs

5250
02:47:44,044 --> 02:47:44,294
challengellen grant through the

5251
02:47:46,277 --> 02:47:46,527
US Department of Commerce and so

5252
02:47:47,511 --> 02:47:47,761
what it allowed us to do is

5253
02:47:48,244 --> 02:47:48,494
really transform our

5254
02:47:50,277 --> 02:47:50,527
organization from a kind of a

5255
02:47:53,511 --> 02:47:53,761
compliance type organization

5256
02:47:55,511 --> 02:47:55,761
to organization that really is

5257
02:47:56,277 --> 02:47:56,527
trying to be innovative and and

5258
02:47:57,744 --> 02:47:57,994
continuously improve and meet

5259
02:47:59,544 --> 02:47:59,794
these types of needs so it

5260
02:48:00,344 --> 02:48:00,594
helped us to stand up industry

5261
02:48:01,911 --> 02:48:02,161
sector partnerships which you

5262
02:48:02,577 --> 02:48:02,827
which you heard

5263
02:48:04,244 --> 02:48:04,494
this morning fromorkforce

5264
02:48:05,777 --> 02:48:06,027
Connections but what it also did

5265
02:48:08,311 --> 02:48:08,561
we had a very specific focus on

5266
02:48:10,244 --> 02:48:10,494
rural communities and the tribes

5267
02:48:12,011 --> 02:48:12,261
and so there are 22 tribes

5268
02:48:14,044 --> 02:48:14,294
across the the Nevada works

5269
02:48:15,511 --> 02:48:15,761
region and so we're very

5270
02:48:16,277 --> 02:48:16,527
intentional about it we use a

5271
02:48:18,244 --> 02:48:18,494
navigator model where you heard

5272
02:48:20,044 --> 02:48:20,294
the workforce

5273
02:48:21,744 --> 02:48:21,994
connectctions team so say that

5274
02:48:24,011 --> 02:48:24,261
27 different employing v hubs or

5275
02:48:25,744 --> 02:48:25,994
touch points throughout the

5276
02:48:28,244 --> 02:48:28,494
their region we have 9

5277
02:48:29,977 --> 02:48:30,227
official across70,000 square

5278
02:48:30,644 --> 02:48:30,894
miles

5279
02:48:33,744 --> 02:48:33,994
and so we recognize that that's

5280
02:48:34,477 --> 02:48:34,727
not going to do it that's not

5281
02:48:35,744 --> 02:48:35,994
gonna cut it and so we took a

5282
02:48:38,244 --> 02:48:38,494
navigator model where we put our

5283
02:48:40,211 --> 02:48:40,461
employees in those communities

5284
02:48:43,511 --> 02:48:43,761
and so with laptops and have

5285
02:48:46,011 --> 02:48:46,261
laptop have Wi i will travel and

5286
02:48:47,711 --> 02:48:47,961
so we go into these libraries,

5287
02:48:49,511 --> 02:48:49,761
we go into these community

5288
02:48:51,477 --> 02:48:51,727
centers and we serve individuals

5289
02:48:52,211 --> 02:48:52,461
not only through the employee v

5290
02:48:54,311 --> 02:48:54,561
hubs but also wherever you know

5291
02:48:56,311 --> 02:48:56,561
where we need to be in

5292
02:48:58,377 --> 02:48:58,627
schools high schools and so on

5293
02:48:59,011 --> 02:48:59,261
next slide

5294
02:49:02,011 --> 02:49:02,261
so we we didn't wait for the

5295
02:49:04,011 --> 02:49:04,261
tribes to come to us, right? We

5296
02:49:05,777 --> 02:49:06,027
we went to them and so the model

5297
02:49:09,777 --> 02:49:10,027
is recognizing that AB354, you

5298
02:49:11,811 --> 02:49:12,061
know fed into the the idea or

5299
02:49:13,511 --> 02:49:13,761
the concept that we needed to

5300
02:49:15,477 --> 02:49:15,727
serve the tribes have a specific

5301
02:49:16,144 --> 02:49:16,394
tribal navigator's name is

5302
02:49:17,777 --> 02:49:18,027
Thurmond he is a tribal member

5303
02:49:20,244 --> 02:49:20,494
and he does a great job of

5304
02:49:22,244 --> 02:49:22,494
building trust with the with the

5305
02:49:24,011 --> 02:49:24,261
tribes and so that has

5306
02:49:25,744 --> 02:49:25,994
evolved to the point where we

5307
02:49:26,377 --> 02:49:26,627
have now developed three

5308
02:49:28,011 --> 02:49:28,261
memorandum of understandings

5309
02:49:28,677 --> 02:49:28,927
with with three different tribes

5310
02:49:33,744 --> 02:49:33,994
where where we are their their

5311
02:49:34,511 --> 02:49:34,761
their workforce development

5312
02:49:35,744 --> 02:49:35,994
partner if you will or helping

5313
02:49:38,011 --> 02:49:38,261
them lead their workforce

5314
02:49:40,011 --> 02:49:40,261
development efforts we've also

5315
02:49:43,477 --> 02:49:43,727
worked with the erro offices in

5316
02:49:45,777 --> 02:49:46,027
in the tribes and so on so

5317
02:49:46,511 --> 02:49:46,761
without boring you I'll say that

5318
02:49:49,744 --> 02:49:49,994
you know that that AB354 has

5319
02:49:51,511 --> 02:49:51,761
really fed into our delivery

5320
02:49:53,744 --> 02:49:53,994
service model and and the tribes

5321
02:49:55,744 --> 02:49:55,994
are one specific place

5322
02:49:57,777 --> 02:49:58,027
that we can point to where

5323
02:49:58,344 --> 02:49:58,594
that happens next slide.

5324
02:50:01,944 --> 02:50:02,194
oh yes sir I got please again

5325
02:50:03,711 --> 02:50:03,961
yeah

5326
02:50:07,744 --> 02:50:07,994
so with regards to Ai and

5327
02:50:09,777 --> 02:50:10,027
automation really the same

5328
02:50:10,377 --> 02:50:10,627
conversation right how do we

5329
02:50:10,977 --> 02:50:11,227
predict

5330
02:50:14,244 --> 02:50:14,494
so 11 example right now

5331
02:50:15,977 --> 02:50:16,227
literally right now is happening

5332
02:50:18,011 --> 02:50:18,261
I think literally the meetings

5333
02:50:20,044 --> 02:50:20,294
having right now which is a

5334
02:50:23,477 --> 02:50:23,727
partnership with trucking

5335
02:50:24,211 --> 02:50:24,461
meadows Community College washo

5336
02:50:26,277 --> 02:50:26,527
County School District and they

5337
02:50:30,011 --> 02:50:30,261
came to Nevada works

5338
02:50:31,511 --> 02:50:31,761
and said look at you guys have

5339
02:50:32,111 --> 02:50:32,361
an industry sector partnerships

5340
02:50:34,244 --> 02:50:34,494
you're convening employers and

5341
02:50:36,244 --> 02:50:36,494
so you have that that ecosystem

5342
02:50:38,011 --> 02:50:38,261
prebuilt we want to talk about

5343
02:50:40,077 --> 02:50:40,327
AI we want to talk about how we

5344
02:50:40,744 --> 02:50:40,994
can educate our students we want

5345
02:50:44,044 --> 02:50:44,294
to talk about with employers

5346
02:50:45,744 --> 02:50:45,994
to figure out what what type of

5347
02:50:46,444 --> 02:50:46,694
training that they need and we

5348
02:50:47,744 --> 02:50:47,994
also want to get the signals

5349
02:50:49,744 --> 02:50:49,994
from employers on where they see

5350
02:50:51,511 --> 02:50:51,761
the puckettting where they see

5351
02:50:52,111 --> 02:50:52,361
you know where there might be

5352
02:50:53,977 --> 02:50:54,227
some some jobs that are that are

5353
02:50:56,011 --> 02:50:56,261
going away and so we've

5354
02:50:58,244 --> 02:50:58,494
convened e different industry

5355
02:51:00,277 --> 02:51:00,527
sectors and are having those

5356
02:51:02,244 --> 02:51:02,494
conversations right now and

5357
02:51:04,211 --> 02:51:04,461
so again it's it's recognizing

5358
02:51:06,444 --> 02:51:06,694
what what what the needs

5359
02:51:07,744 --> 02:51:07,994
right now but also trying to

5360
02:51:08,411 --> 02:51:08,661
project those out into the

5361
02:51:09,011 --> 02:51:09,261
future

5362
02:51:12,277 --> 02:51:12,527
and and I'll kind of pivot to

5363
02:51:14,277 --> 02:51:14,527
some of the kind of conceptual

5364
02:51:15,744 --> 02:51:15,994
questions here right so the

5365
02:51:17,477 --> 02:51:17,727
model in northern Nevada is

5366
02:51:18,244 --> 02:51:18,494
different the employment

5367
02:51:19,777 --> 02:51:20,027
rehab model in northernnevada is

5368
02:51:20,411 --> 02:51:20,661
different than here in southern

5369
02:51:22,277 --> 02:51:22,527
Nevada not only in the quantity

5370
02:51:26,011 --> 02:51:26,261
of of of hubs that we have

5371
02:51:28,044 --> 02:51:28,294
but also in order to develop

5372
02:51:30,244 --> 02:51:30,494
some economies of scale if if

5373
02:51:32,311 --> 02:51:32,561
you recall the the the former

5374
02:51:35,744 --> 02:51:35,994
job connect offices right? so

5375
02:51:37,777 --> 02:51:38,027
so Nevada works and and deed are

5376
02:51:38,444 --> 02:51:38,694
basically repurposed or

5377
02:51:39,011 --> 02:51:39,261
rebranded through

5378
02:51:41,744 --> 02:51:41,994
this employee and v her

5379
02:51:45,744 --> 02:51:45,994
branding the existing

5380
02:51:47,477 --> 02:51:47,727
jobb connect offices that

5381
02:51:48,044 --> 02:51:48,294
were throughout the throughout

5382
02:51:48,711 --> 02:51:48,961
the region

5383
02:51:51,711 --> 02:51:51,961
and so we designated those as

5384
02:51:52,511 --> 02:51:52,761
through wheo it's called an

5385
02:51:54,011 --> 02:51:54,261
affiliate site and so that means

5386
02:51:56,011 --> 02:51:56,261
that that that we owe us

5387
02:51:58,011 --> 02:51:58,261
services are available there

5388
02:51:59,811 --> 02:52:00,061
we do have what's called a

5389
02:52:00,311 --> 02:52:00,561
comprehensive center where we're

5390
02:52:02,011 --> 02:52:02,261
required to bring in multiple

5391
02:52:04,277 --> 02:52:04,527
partners and and you know

5392
02:52:07,777 --> 02:52:08,027
convene thosenevada works is the

5393
02:52:09,777 --> 02:52:10,027
the leaseholder the the operator

5394
02:52:11,511 --> 02:52:11,761
you know making sure that that

5395
02:52:12,311 --> 02:52:12,561
we're we're we're pointing

5396
02:52:14,244 --> 02:52:14,494
people in the right direction

5397
02:52:17,677 --> 02:52:17,927
but but also recognizing that

5398
02:52:18,344 --> 02:52:18,594
uhsenator

5399
02:52:21,477 --> 02:52:21,727
you know your experience as

5400
02:52:22,511 --> 02:52:22,761
unfortunate as it was is a

5401
02:52:25,777 --> 02:52:26,027
lesson for us but at the same

5402
02:52:26,477 --> 02:52:26,727
time

5403
02:52:28,311 --> 02:52:28,561
what and and this is you know

5404
02:52:29,011 --> 02:52:29,261
this this is

5405
02:52:32,544 --> 02:52:32,794
tough because the workforce

5406
02:52:34,044 --> 02:52:34,294
innovation andpportunity Act

5407
02:52:35,511 --> 02:52:35,761
allows for the creation of these

5408
02:52:37,511 --> 02:52:37,761
local areas these local boards

5409
02:52:38,144 --> 02:52:38,394
what it doesn't give us is

5410
02:52:40,311 --> 02:52:40,561
authority to tell these partners

5411
02:52:43,477 --> 02:52:43,727
what to do and so we convened

5412
02:52:45,511 --> 02:52:45,761
these these we convene

5413
02:52:47,544 --> 02:52:47,794
these hubs and we develop

5414
02:52:48,311 --> 02:52:48,561
memorandums of understanding and

5415
02:52:50,011 --> 02:52:50,261
how we're going to deliver

5416
02:52:52,311 --> 02:52:52,561
services and and the local

5417
02:52:55,511 --> 02:52:55,761
boards are responsible for these

5418
02:52:56,311 --> 02:52:56,561
American job centers the

5419
02:52:58,044 --> 02:52:58,294
challenges and and I shouldn't

5420
02:52:58,711 --> 02:52:58,961
say challenge the the where

5421
02:52:59,277 --> 02:52:59,527
where there

5422
02:53:02,244 --> 02:53:02,494
may be better opportunities is

5423
02:53:04,277 --> 02:53:04,527
that you know we have to rely on

5424
02:53:06,244 --> 02:53:06,494
good graces and and and

5425
02:53:07,744 --> 02:53:07,994
memorandums of understanding and

5426
02:53:10,244 --> 02:53:10,494
so on and so if a partner is

5427
02:53:13,477 --> 02:53:13,727
serving someone in a particular

5428
02:53:16,044 --> 02:53:16,294
way we can help we can you know

5429
02:53:17,777 --> 02:53:18,027
we we talk about continuous

5430
02:53:19,511 --> 02:53:19,761
improvement, we talk about best

5431
02:53:20,144 --> 02:53:20,394
practice, we talk about the

5432
02:53:21,777 --> 02:53:22,027
customer experience we talk

5433
02:53:23,777 --> 02:53:24,027
about humancented design we talk

5434
02:53:24,477 --> 02:53:24,727
about what should happen when

5435
02:53:26,311 --> 02:53:26,561
somebody walks through that door

5436
02:53:28,011 --> 02:53:28,261
and and the routing that they

5437
02:53:28,677 --> 02:53:28,927
should receive based on

5438
02:53:31,744 --> 02:53:31,994
you know a questionnaire

5439
02:53:33,511 --> 02:53:33,761
that they start with but then

5440
02:53:35,511 --> 02:53:35,761
continue to as they meet with

5441
02:53:36,277 --> 02:53:36,527
partners that partner may

5442
02:53:38,277 --> 02:53:38,527
uncover something else and so we

5443
02:53:40,277 --> 02:53:40,527
route them through not only the

5444
02:53:43,477 --> 02:53:43,727
the literal physical location

5445
02:53:45,511 --> 02:53:45,761
but throughout the ecosystem and

5446
02:53:46,311 --> 02:53:46,561
so we're actually obligated to

5447
02:53:49,511 --> 02:53:49,761
do a warm handoffs where

5448
02:53:50,277 --> 02:53:50,527
where through these centers

5449
02:53:52,311 --> 02:53:52,561
we're obligated to say it's not

5450
02:53:54,011 --> 02:53:54,261
just a business card and go

5451
02:53:56,011 --> 02:53:56,261
across across town in good luck

5452
02:53:56,644 --> 02:53:56,894
it's actually making those

5453
02:53:58,377 --> 02:53:58,627
connections and so one of

5454
02:53:58,944 --> 02:53:59,194
the things one of the

5455
02:54:01,744 --> 02:54:01,994
tools that we've adopted in

5456
02:54:02,377 --> 02:54:02,627
northern nevada is a is a

5457
02:54:05,511 --> 02:54:05,761
product called Alice and and and

5458
02:54:06,211 --> 02:54:06,461
they also use it here in

5459
02:54:07,611 --> 02:54:07,861
southern event I think for youth

5460
02:54:08,311 --> 02:54:08,561
is that correct

5461
02:54:10,177 --> 02:54:10,427
is that right? So basically it

5462
02:54:13,511 --> 02:54:13,761
is this this virtual ecosystem

5463
02:54:15,544 --> 02:54:15,794
where nonco located partners

5464
02:54:17,511 --> 02:54:17,761
can be part of the system

5465
02:54:19,711 --> 02:54:19,961
and we make those referrals

5466
02:54:21,511 --> 02:54:21,761
they're they're trackable and

5467
02:54:22,444 --> 02:54:22,694
and so on so I say all that to

5468
02:54:25,511 --> 02:54:25,761
say that there's a lot of good

5469
02:54:27,511 --> 02:54:27,761
work that is being done.

5470
02:54:29,511 --> 02:54:29,761
Dieter again is a great partner

5471
02:54:31,511 --> 02:54:31,761
you heard that from from

5472
02:54:32,077 --> 02:54:32,327
Workforce Connections I'll echo

5473
02:54:34,311 --> 02:54:34,561
that as well one of the

5474
02:54:35,744 --> 02:54:35,994
things is we think in terms of

5475
02:54:37,711 --> 02:54:37,961
funding you heard a you know

5476
02:54:38,377 --> 02:54:38,627
you heard us this morning say

5477
02:54:40,211 --> 02:54:40,461
eligibility you heard us say

5478
02:54:42,177 --> 02:54:42,427
barriers and so on and the

5479
02:54:44,444 --> 02:54:44,694
federal dollars are the ones

5480
02:54:46,177 --> 02:54:46,427
that generally are the most

5481
02:54:48,011 --> 02:54:48,261
prescriptive right? herere's

5482
02:54:49,711 --> 02:54:49,961
here's the money and here's the

5483
02:54:52,011 --> 02:54:52,261
eligibility thresholds and

5484
02:54:53,511 --> 02:54:53,761
sodier has been and has been

5485
02:54:55,777 --> 02:54:56,027
quite generous with to both

5486
02:54:57,977 --> 02:54:58,227
local boards but but that

5487
02:54:59,744 --> 02:54:59,994
funding allows us to do things

5488
02:55:00,377 --> 02:55:00,627
like the industry sector

5489
02:55:02,244 --> 02:55:02,494
partnerships like some of the

5490
02:55:03,977 --> 02:55:04,227
other efforts that that it's

5491
02:55:05,511 --> 02:55:05,761
really hard to do withwhe funny

5492
02:55:06,411 --> 02:55:06,661
you know pause there and answer

5493
02:55:07,077 --> 02:55:07,327
any questions you might have

5494
02:55:09,811 --> 02:55:10,061
assemblywoman Anderson.

5495
02:55:13,944 --> 02:55:14,194
Thank you chair and thank you

5496
02:55:15,977 --> 02:55:16,227
for the presentation I'll give

5497
02:55:17,477 --> 02:55:17,727
you a little chance to get some

5498
02:55:18,444 --> 02:55:18,694
water actually have two

5499
02:55:20,244 --> 02:55:20,494
questions. The first question

5500
02:55:23,511 --> 02:55:23,761
comes from slide8s. I I really

5501
02:55:25,511 --> 02:55:25,761
like the fact that you made it

5502
02:55:26,244 --> 02:55:26,494
very clear that you came out and

5503
02:55:28,311 --> 02:55:28,561
worked with the tribal councils

5504
02:55:28,977 --> 02:55:29,227
on your own

5505
02:55:31,744 --> 02:55:31,994
when it came to creating a

5506
02:55:33,744 --> 02:55:33,994
dedicated tribal navigator wass

5507
02:55:35,477 --> 02:55:35,727
this somebody that you worked

5508
02:55:36,244 --> 02:55:36,494
with through the department with

5509
02:55:37,977 --> 02:55:38,227
Stacy Montooth's department or

5510
02:55:39,911 --> 02:55:40,161
was this something that you

5511
02:55:40,477 --> 02:55:40,727
found somebody on your own with.

5512
02:55:43,477 --> 02:55:43,727
yeah we act uhmier for the

5513
02:55:44,077 --> 02:55:44,327
record thank you for the

5514
02:55:45,977 --> 02:55:46,227
question we actually

5515
02:55:49,511 --> 02:55:49,761
predated really that the the the

5516
02:55:51,977 --> 02:55:52,227
formal establishment so it

5517
02:55:53,744 --> 02:55:53,994
it actually it's kind of a

5518
02:55:55,511 --> 02:55:55,761
little bit in reverse so yeah we

5519
02:55:57,511 --> 02:55:57,761
did we did hire a travel

5520
02:55:59,711 --> 02:55:59,961
navigator and and and so part

5521
02:56:00,444 --> 02:56:00,694
of what the what our ribone

5522
02:56:02,011 --> 02:56:02,261
navigator does is works with

5523
02:56:05,511 --> 02:56:05,761
Stacy but also you and our

5524
02:56:08,244 --> 02:56:08,494
tech hub has a as part of

5525
02:56:10,077 --> 02:56:10,327
that they have a tribal

5526
02:56:10,644 --> 02:56:10,894
component and so we actually

5527
02:56:13,977 --> 02:56:14,227
wes we provide a great deal

5528
02:56:16,244 --> 02:56:16,494
of assistance to both Stacy

5529
02:56:17,711 --> 02:56:17,961
and to you and our tech hub

5530
02:56:20,311 --> 02:56:20,561
thank you mayy I ask a second

5531
02:56:20,911 --> 02:56:21,161
question chairir?

5532
02:56:23,977 --> 02:56:24,227
thank you my other question

5533
02:56:25,977 --> 02:56:26,227
had to do towards the end where

5534
02:56:27,844 --> 02:56:28,094
it had to do we turn employer

5535
02:56:28,511 --> 02:56:28,761
signals into targeted training.

5536
02:56:30,177 --> 02:56:30,427
Is this done by

5537
02:56:33,511 --> 02:56:33,761
a questionnaire that is asked

5538
02:56:35,477 --> 02:56:35,727
about or is this done by

5539
02:56:36,211 --> 02:56:36,461
voluntary because you had

5540
02:56:38,377 --> 02:56:38,627
mentioned earlier in the program

5541
02:56:39,077 --> 02:56:39,327
finding out if somebody had been

5542
02:56:40,544 --> 02:56:40,794
a member of the

5543
02:56:44,211 --> 02:56:44,461
think the foster care so is this

5544
02:56:46,177 --> 02:56:46,427
a voluntary thing or is it that

5545
02:56:47,944 --> 02:56:48,194
you expect everybody to fill out

5546
02:56:48,644 --> 02:56:48,894
questionnaires. how do you find

5547
02:56:51,711 --> 02:56:51,961
out? Yeaheltster record so a

5548
02:56:53,711 --> 02:56:53,961
little bit of all that and so

5549
02:56:54,411 --> 02:56:54,661
as we convene employers through

5550
02:56:55,977 --> 02:56:56,227
the industry sector partnerships

5551
02:56:58,377 --> 02:56:58,627
so the model is we have to start

5552
02:57:01,511 --> 02:57:01,761
from somewhere so we we have

5553
02:57:03,744 --> 02:57:03,994
economists that basically

5554
02:57:05,977 --> 02:57:06,227
does some research and and

5555
02:57:07,777 --> 02:57:08,027
tries to identify the signals

5556
02:57:09,477 --> 02:57:09,727
that were that are that are seen

5557
02:57:10,244 --> 02:57:10,494
you know at the at the federal

5558
02:57:10,911 --> 02:57:11,161
or even state level and then we

5559
02:57:11,577 --> 02:57:11,827
take that to

5560
02:57:13,744 --> 02:57:13,994
these industry sector partners

5561
02:57:15,944 --> 02:57:16,194
and say validate this is is what

5562
02:57:17,944 --> 02:57:18,194
we're seeing knows is this data

5563
02:57:19,511 --> 02:57:19,761
resonates sometimes it doesn't

5564
02:57:20,211 --> 02:57:20,461
sometimes as we think in terms

5565
02:57:22,344 --> 02:57:22,594
of regions there are times

5566
02:57:22,911 --> 02:57:23,161
where you know

5567
02:57:27,477 --> 02:57:27,727
for as an example you know is

5568
02:57:28,077 --> 02:57:28,327
this the age you you know this

5569
02:57:29,744 --> 02:57:29,994
is what the the thes the federal

5570
02:57:31,744 --> 02:57:31,994
says and and and some of the

5571
02:57:32,344 --> 02:57:32,594
importers like I wish I could

5572
02:57:33,977 --> 02:57:34,227
pay that right there's no way

5573
02:57:35,744 --> 02:57:35,994
that we could hire somebody for

5574
02:57:37,477 --> 02:57:37,727
for that wage and I just use

5575
02:57:38,211 --> 02:57:38,461
that as an example but we do

5576
02:57:41,511 --> 02:57:41,761
provide surveys we do have

5577
02:57:44,011 --> 02:57:44,261
you know conversations we do

5578
02:57:46,011 --> 02:57:46,261
that not only in the the

5579
02:57:47,744 --> 02:57:47,994
formal convenings and and we

5580
02:57:49,511 --> 02:57:49,761
have multiple different levels

5581
02:57:50,111 --> 02:57:50,361
where there's the employers are

5582
02:57:51,511 --> 02:57:51,761
involved and then we have a

5583
02:57:52,611 --> 02:57:52,861
separate meeting where

5584
02:57:53,044 --> 02:57:53,294
where where we have

5585
02:57:57,477 --> 02:57:57,727
the the ecosystem say ok this

5586
02:57:58,144 --> 02:57:58,394
is what we heard now how are we

5587
02:57:59,744 --> 02:57:59,994
going to react and we do that

5588
02:58:01,744 --> 02:58:01,994
intentionally because what we

5589
02:58:03,977 --> 02:58:04,227
don't want to do is you know,

5590
02:58:05,977 --> 02:58:06,227
have this this model where we're

5591
02:58:06,677 --> 02:58:06,927
here from the government and

5592
02:58:07,744 --> 02:58:07,994
here's what we can do for you

5593
02:58:09,511 --> 02:58:09,761
that's not the model right? The

5594
02:58:10,444 --> 02:58:10,694
model is let's listen to what

5595
02:58:12,011 --> 02:58:12,261
the employers are you know are

5596
02:58:13,511 --> 02:58:13,761
signaling and what they're

5597
02:58:14,177 --> 02:58:14,427
actually telling us and then how

5598
02:58:16,244 --> 02:58:16,494
do we activate the system,

5599
02:58:19,477 --> 02:58:19,727
activate partners to to meet

5600
02:58:20,444 --> 02:58:20,694
those needs so short answers a

5601
02:58:21,111 --> 02:58:21,361
little bit of all that.

5602
02:58:25,477 --> 02:58:25,727
thank you and so that brought up

5603
02:58:27,977 --> 02:58:28,227
a followup if I may I'm just

5604
02:58:29,744 --> 02:58:29,994
gonna go forward. especially

5605
02:58:30,344 --> 02:58:30,594
with the fact that this is

5606
02:58:31,744 --> 02:58:31,994
around the pyramidlake area so

5607
02:58:33,477 --> 02:58:33,727
that it automatically made me

5608
02:58:36,011 --> 02:58:36,261
think of how there's a large

5609
02:58:38,244 --> 02:58:38,494
boom in that area of numerous

5610
02:58:40,211 --> 02:58:40,461
different organizations coming

5611
02:58:41,811 --> 02:58:42,061
out there so is this more

5612
02:58:45,511 --> 02:58:45,761
employeed driven or is this more

5613
02:58:47,477 --> 02:58:47,727
employerd driven that's number

5614
02:58:49,511 --> 02:58:49,761
one and then number 2 as I look

5615
02:58:50,277 --> 02:58:50,527
out and I see a few friends that

5616
02:58:51,744 --> 02:58:51,994
are involved in some other

5617
02:58:53,744 --> 02:58:53,994
things do you ever work with the

5618
02:58:54,411 --> 02:58:54,661
unions in apprenticeship

5619
02:58:54,977 --> 02:58:55,227
programs

5620
02:58:59,477 --> 02:58:59,727
yes to the second question but

5621
02:59:00,211 --> 02:59:00,461
and I'll elaborate just but

5622
02:59:02,011 --> 02:59:02,261
can you I'm not sure I

5623
02:59:03,477 --> 02:59:03,727
understood the first question

5624
02:59:04,211 --> 02:59:04,461
completely. are you asking for

5625
02:59:07,511 --> 02:59:07,761
the when it comes to the listen

5626
02:59:09,477 --> 02:59:09,727
to employers actually you say it

5627
02:59:10,511 --> 02:59:10,761
right there that like with Ai

5628
02:59:12,011 --> 02:59:12,261
changes that you need to make on

5629
02:59:13,777 --> 02:59:14,027
training is this based upon what

5630
02:59:15,511 --> 02:59:15,761
the employer's need or what the

5631
02:59:17,777 --> 02:59:18,027
employees need so like sometimes

5632
02:59:19,477 --> 02:59:19,727
I'd love to think it's both

5633
02:59:20,244 --> 02:59:20,494
honestly and and and what I

5634
02:59:22,011 --> 02:59:22,261
mean by that is you know

5635
02:59:23,511 --> 02:59:23,761
we're getting these signals or

5636
02:59:24,144 --> 02:59:24,394
the data directly from

5637
02:59:24,611 --> 02:59:24,861
employers

5638
02:59:27,744 --> 02:59:27,994
but but as part of these

5639
02:59:29,744 --> 02:59:29,994
conversations we're asking

5640
02:59:32,244 --> 02:59:32,494
them to kind of tell us what the

5641
02:59:34,244 --> 02:59:34,494
ecosystem needs to do for those

5642
02:59:35,977 --> 02:59:36,227
employees that may not you know

5643
02:59:39,477 --> 02:59:39,727
may not survive or or or might

5644
02:59:42,011 --> 02:59:42,261
need to transition so it it's

5645
02:59:43,511 --> 02:59:43,761
you know the industry sector

5646
02:59:44,244 --> 02:59:44,494
partnerships are definitely

5647
02:59:47,511 --> 02:59:47,761
employerd driven the the rest

5648
02:59:49,477 --> 02:59:49,727
of the ecosystem as we think in

5649
02:59:50,244 --> 02:59:50,494
terms of our two sets of

5650
02:59:52,011 --> 02:59:52,261
customers employers and and

5651
02:59:53,511 --> 02:59:53,761
career seekers the career

5652
02:59:54,111 --> 02:59:54,361
seekers can also be a source of

5653
02:59:58,011 --> 02:59:58,261
knowledge and so we tap into

5654
03:00:00,011 --> 03:00:00,261
that as well with regards to

5655
03:00:03,511 --> 03:00:03,761
the to the unions short

5656
03:00:06,044 --> 03:00:06,294
answer is yes and so we

5657
03:00:07,744 --> 03:00:07,994
have the builders and trades

5658
03:00:10,011 --> 03:00:10,261
union of northern Nevada is on

5659
03:00:12,277 --> 03:00:12,527
our board obunnner is a trusted

5660
03:00:14,011 --> 03:00:14,261
partner. we work with Rob all

5661
03:00:16,277 --> 03:00:16,527
the time nevada works and and

5662
03:00:17,511 --> 03:00:17,761
one of the things I hadn't

5663
03:00:18,277 --> 03:00:18,527
mentioned yet is that Novaors is

5664
03:00:21,477 --> 03:00:21,727
so much more than WIOA we have

5665
03:00:23,544 --> 03:00:23,794
ive years ago when I came on

5666
03:00:24,111 --> 03:00:24,361
as CEO we were let's for

5667
03:00:24,677 --> 03:00:24,927
purposes of this

5668
03:00:28,244 --> 03:00:28,494
conversation say we were100%

5669
03:00:30,044 --> 03:00:30,294
weoa which is around6 million

5670
03:00:32,277 --> 03:00:32,527
dollars a year we have

5671
03:00:34,011 --> 03:00:34,261
received I just mentioned a

5672
03:00:36,011 --> 03:00:36,261
good jobs challengellen grant we

5673
03:00:37,744 --> 03:00:37,994
received aer apprenticeship

5674
03:00:38,344 --> 03:00:38,594
buildingilding America grant

5675
03:00:39,977 --> 03:00:40,227
which is a statewide grant that

5676
03:00:41,777 --> 03:00:42,027
we work with with Workforce

5677
03:00:43,777 --> 03:00:44,027
nections on and I could go down

5678
03:00:46,011 --> 03:00:46,261
the list but so we always now

5679
03:00:48,277 --> 03:00:48,527
about 20 to 22% of our funding

5680
03:00:49,744 --> 03:00:49,994
so we've really cast a wide net

5681
03:00:51,777 --> 03:00:52,027
and I say all that to say that

5682
03:00:53,777 --> 03:00:54,027
you know we we think in terms

5683
03:00:54,444 --> 03:00:54,694
of capacity right as we have

5684
03:00:55,111 --> 03:00:55,361
somebody

5685
03:00:57,711 --> 03:00:57,961
coming into the ecosystem, how

5686
03:00:58,444 --> 03:00:58,694
can we bring additional capacity

5687
03:01:00,244 --> 03:01:00,494
to bear and so apprenticeships

5688
03:01:02,011 --> 03:01:02,261
is part of that model but

5689
03:01:03,477 --> 03:01:03,727
I'll actually take it one step

5690
03:01:05,511 --> 03:01:05,761
further the answer is yes we are

5691
03:01:07,477 --> 03:01:07,727
unions and trades but that

5692
03:01:08,244 --> 03:01:08,494
the apprenticeship

5693
03:01:10,011 --> 03:01:10,261
buildingilding America grant is

5694
03:01:11,811 --> 03:01:12,061
also nontraditional and nonunion

5695
03:01:13,511 --> 03:01:13,761
so we're making very very

5696
03:01:15,777 --> 03:01:16,027
intentional around working

5697
03:01:18,011 --> 03:01:18,261
with UnlV around the

5698
03:01:19,777 --> 03:01:20,027
professionalsion the teacher

5699
03:01:21,477 --> 03:01:21,727
paraprofessional apprenticeship

5700
03:01:23,511 --> 03:01:23,761
have also Nevadaorks has

5701
03:01:24,111 --> 03:01:24,361
become what's called an

5702
03:01:24,677 --> 03:01:24,927
intermediary for a couple of

5703
03:01:27,477 --> 03:01:27,727
different apprenticeships and

5704
03:01:28,444 --> 03:01:28,694
the and the idea there is that

5705
03:01:30,277 --> 03:01:30,527
reduce some of the

5706
03:01:33,511 --> 03:01:33,761
friction and and paperwork and

5707
03:01:34,111 --> 03:01:34,361
and whatnot that goes in so

5708
03:01:38,211 --> 03:01:38,461
we've done that for CAs

5709
03:01:40,611 --> 03:01:40,861
surface we've done it for

5710
03:01:41,177 --> 03:01:41,427
C andA for

5711
03:01:44,011 --> 03:01:44,261
early childhood education we're

5712
03:01:45,911 --> 03:01:46,161
working in children's cas so and

5713
03:01:46,611 --> 03:01:46,861
and I can just go down the list

5714
03:01:49,511 --> 03:01:49,761
really appreciate that I think

5715
03:01:50,211 --> 03:01:50,461
when I was listening to that

5716
03:01:51,711 --> 03:01:51,961
answer though it did come up

5717
03:01:52,277 --> 03:01:52,527
with one more question I'm not

5718
03:01:53,977 --> 03:01:54,227
sure if this is actually in your

5719
03:01:54,677 --> 03:01:54,927
purview or not

5720
03:01:57,744 --> 03:01:57,994
do you ever work with companies

5721
03:01:59,477 --> 03:01:59,727
that basically are doing this

5722
03:02:01,477 --> 03:02:01,727
hire to fire practice which

5723
03:02:03,744 --> 03:02:03,994
unfortunately is a reality and

5724
03:02:04,377 --> 03:02:04,627
more and more manufacturing

5725
03:02:06,211 --> 03:02:06,461
areasil sir for the record so so

5726
03:02:07,711 --> 03:02:07,961
that is antithetical to our

5727
03:02:09,511 --> 03:02:09,761
model right? so if we think in

5728
03:02:11,977 --> 03:02:12,227
terms of of WIA for example so

5729
03:02:13,744 --> 03:02:13,994
all the funding that we get has

5730
03:02:15,511 --> 03:02:15,761
metrics associated with it and

5731
03:02:16,211 --> 03:02:16,461
so we do the good work because

5732
03:02:17,511 --> 03:02:17,761
it's the right thing to do, but

5733
03:02:18,211 --> 03:02:18,461
we also have to make sure that

5734
03:02:19,777 --> 03:02:20,027
we check boxes so we can

5735
03:02:20,244 --> 03:02:20,494
continue to get that funding

5736
03:02:22,244 --> 03:02:22,494
and so if we think in terms of

5737
03:02:25,744 --> 03:02:25,994
WIOA you saw that you know

5738
03:02:27,511 --> 03:02:27,761
Ricardo mentioned you know

5739
03:02:28,111 --> 03:02:28,361
employed second quarter after

5740
03:02:29,511 --> 03:02:29,761
exit employed fourth quarter

5741
03:02:31,877 --> 03:02:32,127
after exit and so on so

5742
03:02:35,744 --> 03:02:35,994
we would never want to deal with

5743
03:02:36,477 --> 03:02:36,727
those hire to fire but the

5744
03:02:38,244 --> 03:02:38,494
system the way it's developed we

5745
03:02:39,744 --> 03:02:39,994
have to be very conscious of

5746
03:02:41,511 --> 03:02:41,761
that so the short answers no we

5747
03:02:43,844 --> 03:02:44,094
we know we we does it happen

5748
03:02:45,777 --> 03:02:46,027
sure I mean but but you know

5749
03:02:47,577 --> 03:02:47,827
really the the model that we're

5750
03:02:48,511 --> 03:02:48,761
trying to create is this is a a

5751
03:02:49,177 --> 03:02:49,427
a

5752
03:02:52,377 --> 03:02:52,627
collaborative and

5753
03:02:54,277 --> 03:02:54,527
ecosystem and quite frankly it

5754
03:02:57,511 --> 03:02:57,761
it those those organizations

5755
03:02:58,144 --> 03:02:58,394
those businesses that are hired

5756
03:02:59,777 --> 03:03:00,027
to fire they're going to get

5757
03:03:01,511 --> 03:03:01,761
selected out over time for sure

5758
03:03:02,144 --> 03:03:02,394
just want to make sure that

5759
03:03:03,777 --> 03:03:04,027
that's on the record that they

5760
03:03:05,744 --> 03:03:05,994
should not be working with

5761
03:03:08,044 --> 03:03:08,294
because that is taking advantage

5762
03:03:10,477 --> 03:03:10,727
of employers go out of business

5763
03:03:11,144 --> 03:03:11,394
thank you thank you chair

two presentations that you heard

5788
03:04:30,244 --> 03:04:30,494
prior to myself but also

5789
03:04:31,977 --> 03:04:32,227
within the College of southern

5790
03:04:34,011 --> 03:04:34,261
Nevada as a whole. one of the

5791
03:04:35,711 --> 03:04:35,961
things I do want to associate

5792
03:04:38,211 --> 03:04:38,461
upfront is in thewoa space

5793
03:04:39,744 --> 03:04:39,994
College of southern Nevada

5794
03:04:40,277 --> 03:04:40,527
particularly our adult basic

5795
03:04:40,844 --> 03:04:41,094
education

5796
03:04:44,177 --> 03:04:44,427
program serves asitle 2 when we

5797
03:04:46,477 --> 03:04:46,727
talk about the weoa ecosystem

5798
03:04:47,744 --> 03:04:47,994
and so you've heard a lot of

5799
03:04:49,977 --> 03:04:50,227
Title1 TitleI, etc and so we're

5800
03:04:52,011 --> 03:04:52,261
number two and that is through

5801
03:04:53,977 --> 03:04:54,227
our AFfla which is the American

5802
03:04:56,211 --> 03:04:56,461
Education Family Literacy Act

5803
03:04:58,244 --> 03:04:58,494
the state that is funded that is

5804
03:04:59,511 --> 03:04:59,761
federal dollars from the

5805
03:05:01,511 --> 03:05:01,761
department of Education that

5806
03:05:02,111 --> 03:05:02,361
runs through the Nevada

5807
03:05:04,211 --> 03:05:04,461
Department of Education goes

5808
03:05:06,244 --> 03:05:06,494
to all the community colleges

03:05:10,044 --> 03:05:10,294
some of the universities

5811
03:05:10,544 --> 03:05:10,794
colleges southern

5812
03:05:13,477 --> 03:05:13,727
Nevada receives about 2.3

5813
03:05:14,177 --> 03:05:14,427
million of that to serve

5814
03:05:17,511 --> 03:05:17,761
approximately1000 students

5815
03:05:19,511 --> 03:05:19,761
which are individuals who do not

5816
03:05:21,511 --> 03:05:21,761
have a high school diploma and

5817
03:05:22,211 --> 03:05:22,461
looking so just want to preface

03:05:24,211 --> 03:05:24,461
that role and what the

5819
03:05:26,277 --> 03:05:26,527
opportunity is and whatitle2 and

5820
03:05:26,944 --> 03:05:27,194
how it's narrated for the

5821
03:05:27,511 --> 03:05:27,761
support.

5822
03:05:31,511 --> 03:05:31,761
just to give you a brief

5823
03:05:33,511 --> 03:05:33,761
overview we are the largest

5824
03:05:34,077 --> 03:05:34,327
workforce training provider in

5825
03:05:35,711 --> 03:05:35,961
southern Nevada again College

5826
03:05:37,711 --> 03:05:37,961
Souther Nevada has closed to

5827
03:05:40,244 --> 03:05:40,494
uh35,000 students we do have

5828
03:05:41,977 --> 03:05:42,227
what we call community embedded

5829
03:05:44,211 --> 03:05:44,461
or satellite campuses we have

5830
03:05:47,511 --> 03:05:47,761
about13 of these campuses across

5831
03:05:49,477 --> 03:05:49,727
the geographic area all in

5832
03:05:51,511 --> 03:05:51,761
southern Nevada all the way from

5833
03:05:53,511 --> 03:05:53,761
each municipality to

5834
03:05:55,677 --> 03:05:55,927
unincorporated to unincorporated

5835
03:05:56,377 --> 03:05:56,627
all the way out to mesquite

5836
03:05:58,244 --> 03:05:58,494
our newest workforce center is

5837
03:05:59,977 --> 03:06:00,227
called the westide Education

5838
03:06:02,211 --> 03:06:02,461
Training Center this is embedded

5839
03:06:03,944 --> 03:06:04,194
right off of the historic west

5840
03:06:06,211 --> 03:06:06,461
side it is also in line with the

5841
03:06:07,944 --> 03:06:08,194
census data in terms of where

5842
03:06:09,511 --> 03:06:09,761
the highest number of

5843
03:06:11,511 --> 03:06:11,761
individuals who are unemployed

5844
03:06:13,511 --> 03:06:13,761
and also along with individuals

5845
03:06:14,244 --> 03:06:14,494
who have opportunities for

5846
03:06:17,477 --> 03:06:17,727
social and economic mobility

5847
03:06:19,777 --> 03:06:20,027
this was a huge opportunity and

5848
03:06:21,744 --> 03:06:21,994
collaboration with not only

5849
03:06:23,544 --> 03:06:23,794
the local workforce board but

5850
03:06:25,644 --> 03:06:25,894
also the city of Las Vegas the

5851
03:06:26,311 --> 03:06:26,561
governor's office of economic

5852
03:06:27,977 --> 03:06:28,227
ve lo p ment we've been open

5853
03:06:30,177 --> 03:06:30,427
about six months now and to date

5854
03:06:33,711 --> 03:06:33,961
have served about300 individuals

5855
03:06:37,477 --> 03:06:37,727
uh123 of those have already

5856
03:06:38,444 --> 03:06:38,694
completed short term industry

5857
03:06:39,944 --> 03:06:40,194
recognized credentials

5858
03:06:41,977 --> 03:06:42,227
approximately 90% of those

5859
03:06:45,511 --> 03:06:45,761
individuals are employed this

5860
03:06:47,744 --> 03:06:47,994
also is in collaboration with

5861
03:06:49,977 --> 03:06:50,227
local workforce board as well as

5862
03:06:50,711 --> 03:06:50,961
Deeter who has been mentioned

5863
03:06:51,711 --> 03:06:51,961
who is also a partner for us.

5864
03:06:54,211 --> 03:06:54,461
I mentioned a little bit about

5865
03:06:56,011 --> 03:06:56,261
the adult education workforce

5866
03:06:58,011 --> 03:06:58,261
training one of the things that

5867
03:06:59,744 --> 03:06:59,994
makes our workforce training a

5868
03:07:01,711 --> 03:07:01,961
little unique as we use what is

5869
03:07:03,511 --> 03:07:03,761
called an IET which is an

5870
03:07:04,244 --> 03:07:04,494
integrated education training

5871
03:07:07,811 --> 03:07:08,061
model so the about 99% of the

5872
03:07:09,511 --> 03:07:09,761
students that come to us are

5873
03:07:11,744 --> 03:07:11,994
individuals who cannot wait 2

5874
03:07:13,744 --> 03:07:13,994
years,4 years for a degree.

5875
03:07:15,477 --> 03:07:15,727
These are individuals that are

5876
03:07:17,511 --> 03:07:17,761
providing for their family

5877
03:07:18,244 --> 03:07:18,494
economic stress is alive and

5878
03:07:20,277 --> 03:07:20,527
well and so they come to us for

5879
03:07:22,077 --> 03:07:22,327
these short term training so

5880
03:07:22,644 --> 03:07:22,894
that they get into

5881
03:07:25,511 --> 03:07:25,761
employment as quickly as

5882
03:07:27,744 --> 03:07:27,994
possible we have programs

5883
03:07:29,977 --> 03:07:30,227
that last as long as4 weeks all

5884
03:07:31,744 --> 03:07:31,994
the way up to16 weeks but

5885
03:07:32,311 --> 03:07:32,561
nothing longer than that16

5886
03:07:32,877 --> 03:07:33,127
weeks.

5887
03:07:35,977 --> 03:07:36,227
so again those individuals

5888
03:07:37,711 --> 03:07:37,961
come to us just in the southern

5889
03:07:39,711 --> 03:07:39,961
Nevada region alone there's

5890
03:07:42,177 --> 03:07:42,427
about 230,000 individuals that

5891
03:07:43,777 --> 03:07:44,027
don't currently have a high

5892
03:07:44,377 --> 03:07:44,627
school diploma or an

5893
03:07:44,844 --> 03:07:45,094
equivalency.

5894
03:07:47,977 --> 03:07:48,227
and so this also allows the

5895
03:07:49,977 --> 03:07:50,227
population to simultaneously

5896
03:07:51,944 --> 03:07:52,194
work on their high school

5897
03:07:53,711 --> 03:07:53,961
equivalency while they're

5898
03:07:55,711 --> 03:07:55,961
becoming trained the IET model

5899
03:07:57,977 --> 03:07:58,227
contextualizes the academicn

5900
03:07:59,977 --> 03:08:00,227
components of what they need

5901
03:08:02,177 --> 03:08:02,427
with the workforce program so

5902
03:08:03,944 --> 03:08:04,194
rather than say hey go take math

5903
03:08:05,977 --> 03:08:06,227
97 and all of us were there were

5904
03:08:06,677 --> 03:08:06,927
like where am I ever going to

5905
03:08:09,511 --> 03:08:09,761
use this in life the integrated

5906
03:08:10,277 --> 03:08:10,527
education training model says

5907
03:08:11,744 --> 03:08:11,994
you're going to have applied

5908
03:08:13,777 --> 03:08:14,027
math specific to the workforce

5909
03:08:14,477 --> 03:08:14,727
training that you're engaged in

5910
03:08:15,144 --> 03:08:15,394
so if you're

5911
03:08:17,477 --> 03:08:17,727
in a health scienceence program

5912
03:08:19,511 --> 03:08:19,761
the mathematic academics that

5913
03:08:21,477 --> 03:08:21,727
you're absorbing is directly in

5914
03:08:22,244 --> 03:08:22,494
line to that profession if

5915
03:08:23,744 --> 03:08:23,994
you're in advanced manufacturing

5916
03:08:25,744 --> 03:08:25,994
the mathematics is directly in

5917
03:08:27,511 --> 03:08:27,761
line to that so you see

5918
03:08:29,477 --> 03:08:29,727
instantly as a student oh this

5919
03:08:31,511 --> 03:08:31,761
is why I need to learn it and

5920
03:08:32,311 --> 03:08:32,561
it's directly connected to their

5921
03:08:32,977 --> 03:08:33,227
own future orientation.

5922
03:08:36,177 --> 03:08:36,427
we have the pathways which

5923
03:08:37,977 --> 03:08:38,227
are very diverse from rapid

5924
03:08:39,511 --> 03:08:39,761
response I just talked about

5925
03:08:41,711 --> 03:08:41,961
noncredit we also haveredit

5926
03:08:43,977 --> 03:08:44,227
aligneducational paths what I

5927
03:08:45,477 --> 03:08:45,727
will share is that those

5928
03:08:47,977 --> 03:08:48,227
students that come to us become

5929
03:08:48,711 --> 03:08:48,961
employed get their training

5930
03:08:49,977 --> 03:08:50,227
their industry recognized

5931
03:08:52,211 --> 03:08:52,461
credential get employment the

5932
03:08:54,244 --> 03:08:54,494
average matriculation rate

5933
03:08:55,977 --> 03:08:56,227
across the United States is

5934
03:08:58,211 --> 03:08:58,461
about18 to 22% of those

5935
03:09:00,477 --> 03:09:00,727
individuals go on to a degree at

5936
03:09:01,744 --> 03:09:01,994
the college of southern Nevada

5937
03:09:03,677 --> 03:09:03,927
we're at30%. That means30% of

5938
03:09:04,344 --> 03:09:04,594
those students

5939
03:09:05,977 --> 03:09:06,227
who didn't even think high

5940
03:09:07,511 --> 03:09:07,761
school was for them are now

5941
03:09:09,511 --> 03:09:09,761
going into a degree pathway

5942
03:09:10,077 --> 03:09:10,327
because they've had a positive

5943
03:09:10,744 --> 03:09:10,994
experience

5944
03:09:13,744 --> 03:09:13,994
a financial strategy when I

5945
03:09:15,477 --> 03:09:15,727
talk about braided funding this

5946
03:09:16,177 --> 03:09:16,427
is something you've heard from

5947
03:09:17,844 --> 03:09:18,094
meilt and Irene and doctorctor

5948
03:09:19,744 --> 03:09:19,994
Viallobos and Brett what we are

5949
03:09:21,511 --> 03:09:21,761
able to do is over at our

5950
03:09:22,211 --> 03:09:22,461
centers that I talked about we

5951
03:09:25,511 --> 03:09:25,761
do haveitle one representation

5952
03:09:27,744 --> 03:09:27,994
that sits within the facilities

5953
03:09:28,444 --> 03:09:28,694
at the College of southern

5954
03:09:29,977 --> 03:09:30,227
Nevada we have TitleI

5955
03:09:31,944 --> 03:09:32,194
Wagnereiser through Deeter that

5956
03:09:33,744 --> 03:09:33,994
has an individual and then of

5957
03:09:34,344 --> 03:09:34,594
course colleges in

5958
03:09:35,744 --> 03:09:35,994
southernnevada has her own

5959
03:09:37,744 --> 03:09:37,994
philanthropic and or grant

5960
03:09:40,144 --> 03:09:40,394
funding as well so when we

5961
03:09:40,744 --> 03:09:40,994
receive a grant we usually have

5962
03:09:43,477 --> 03:09:43,727
a target to meet hey you have to

5963
03:09:45,744 --> 03:09:45,994
hit60 students 9 times out of10

5964
03:09:47,711 --> 03:09:47,961
we'll go 20 to30% above that

5965
03:09:50,211 --> 03:09:50,461
because we cofund those students

5966
03:09:53,477 --> 03:09:53,727
with Title1 TitleI and other

5967
03:09:54,211 --> 03:09:54,461
philanthropic dollars. So by

5968
03:09:56,377 --> 03:09:56,627
braiding it allows us to extend

5969
03:09:57,077 --> 03:09:57,327
those dollars but remember

5970
03:10:00,177 --> 03:10:00,427
just like workforce connections

5971
03:10:02,011 --> 03:10:02,261
andil said hey you have there

5972
03:10:03,777 --> 03:10:04,027
are millions of dollars serves

5973
03:10:04,444 --> 03:10:04,694
up to1,500 people collectively

5974
03:10:08,444 --> 03:10:08,694
231,000 individuals but out a

5975
03:10:09,977 --> 03:10:10,227
high school diploma our funding

5976
03:10:12,411 --> 03:10:12,661
allows us to serve 1000 of those

5977
03:10:13,077 --> 03:10:13,327
per an annual basis.

5978
03:10:16,177 --> 03:10:16,427
when we talk about the

5979
03:10:18,411 --> 03:10:18,661
AB354 very similar to what Milt

5980
03:10:21,511 --> 03:10:21,761
said that is our delivery

5981
03:10:23,711 --> 03:10:23,961
strategy we're in the places

5982
03:10:25,744 --> 03:10:25,994
that where we have the census

5983
03:10:27,511 --> 03:10:27,761
track that say this is where the

5984
03:10:28,177 --> 03:10:28,427
highest poverty exists. this is

5985
03:10:29,977 --> 03:10:30,227
where the highest unemployment

5986
03:10:31,744 --> 03:10:31,994
exists we work very closely with

5987
03:10:33,511 --> 03:10:33,761
the city where we do targeted

5988
03:10:35,511 --> 03:10:35,761
outreach and targeted

5989
03:10:37,477 --> 03:10:37,727
recruitment. so in conjunction

5990
03:10:38,244 --> 03:10:38,494
with the city of Las Vegas they

5991
03:10:40,211 --> 03:10:40,461
have an internal messaging

5992
03:10:41,977 --> 03:10:42,227
system where based on their

5993
03:10:43,677 --> 03:10:43,927
wards they have a direct

5994
03:10:44,244 --> 03:10:44,494
audience of

5995
03:10:46,211 --> 03:10:46,461
individuals whether it's wardd 1

5996
03:10:48,177 --> 03:10:48,427
andwardd5 where we currently

5997
03:10:49,944 --> 03:10:50,194
reside for our first two

5998
03:10:52,144 --> 03:10:52,394
training centers goes out thus

5999
03:10:54,011 --> 03:10:54,261
targeting surveying what are you

6000
03:10:54,677 --> 03:10:54,927
interested in

6001
03:10:57,711 --> 03:10:57,961
they get a response we then

6002
03:10:59,744 --> 03:10:59,994
develop the training and with

6003
03:11:01,477 --> 03:11:01,727
the employer based on that.

6004
03:11:03,477 --> 03:11:03,727
First example is we have a

6005
03:11:06,477 --> 03:11:06,727
cohort of about 24 young folks

6006
03:11:07,944 --> 03:11:08,194
going through an EMT program.

6007
03:11:12,144 --> 03:11:12,394
City of Las Vegas deployed this

6008
03:11:15,944 --> 03:11:16,194
mechanism identified within

6009
03:11:19,511 --> 03:11:19,761
wardd5 and particularly89106

6010
03:11:21,477 --> 03:11:21,727
area code where this high

6011
03:11:23,944 --> 03:11:24,194
poverty lowe employment exists

6012
03:11:27,511 --> 03:11:27,761
got 240 responses Out of that we

6013
03:11:28,177 --> 03:11:28,427
were able to fill the course at

6014
03:11:31,777 --> 03:11:32,027
capacity with 24 students who

6015
03:11:34,177 --> 03:11:34,427
are now paid by through Title I

6016
03:11:34,844 --> 03:11:35,094
TitleI CSN

6017
03:11:38,511 --> 03:11:38,761
and taking class in December

6018
03:11:40,244 --> 03:11:40,494
they will graduate we're talking

6019
03:11:42,244 --> 03:11:42,494
to the chief of the city of Las

6020
03:11:44,011 --> 03:11:44,261
Vegas who's already guaranteed

6021
03:11:45,711 --> 03:11:45,961
as long as they pass and they do

6022
03:11:47,711 --> 03:11:47,961
well they'll be able to put on

6023
03:11:49,477 --> 03:11:49,727
the city of Las Vegas ENt

6024
03:11:52,011 --> 03:11:52,261
uniform come December January so

6025
03:11:53,511 --> 03:11:53,761
that I just wanted to share that

6026
03:11:54,277 --> 03:11:54,527
as one example of the

6027
03:11:56,244 --> 03:11:56,494
attentionality to make sure that

6028
03:11:57,977 --> 03:11:58,227
we're highly targeting the

6029
03:11:59,977 --> 03:12:00,227
community that we're in and that

6030
03:12:01,977 --> 03:12:02,227
we know these economic factors

6031
03:12:02,677 --> 03:12:02,927
have an impact on

6032
03:12:07,711 --> 03:12:07,961
for us everything is datad

6033
03:12:08,477 --> 03:12:08,727
driven if it doesn't if it

6034
03:12:09,977 --> 03:12:10,227
doesn't show up in the data and

6035
03:12:12,211 --> 03:12:12,461
it's somebody's opinion we don't

6036
03:12:14,211 --> 03:12:14,461
do it it doesn't its hasn't

6037
03:12:16,244 --> 03:12:16,494
yielded us the outcomes that

6038
03:12:17,977 --> 03:12:18,227
we're looking for they talk

6039
03:12:20,011 --> 03:12:20,261
about a humancented design

6040
03:12:21,777 --> 03:12:22,027
process that's exactly the

6041
03:12:23,544 --> 03:12:23,794
practice that we follow. we make

6042
03:12:24,311 --> 03:12:24,561
sure that those young adults

6043
03:12:26,044 --> 03:12:26,294
that are entering the workforce

6044
03:12:28,044 --> 03:12:28,294
because of the sources with

6045
03:12:30,244 --> 03:12:30,494
Title1itleI and CSN it's a

6046
03:12:32,244 --> 03:12:32,494
holistic approach we're not just

6047
03:12:33,744 --> 03:12:33,994
looking hey we're just here to

6048
03:12:34,377 --> 03:12:34,627
train you and if you get it

6049
03:12:34,977 --> 03:12:35,227
great

6050
03:12:37,744 --> 03:12:37,994
no it's also about that

6051
03:12:39,544 --> 03:12:39,794
contextualized component that I

6052
03:12:40,277 --> 03:12:40,527
spoke about the number one thing

6053
03:12:42,211 --> 03:12:42,461
that we hear from employers

6054
03:12:44,611 --> 03:12:44,861
that's missing soft skills selff

6055
03:12:45,277 --> 03:12:45,527
leadership

6056
03:12:48,511 --> 03:12:48,761
being able to have communication

6057
03:12:51,511 --> 03:12:51,761
skills being on time so we

6058
03:12:52,111 --> 03:12:52,361
incorporate all those and

6059
03:12:53,977 --> 03:12:54,227
integrate those or contextualize

6060
03:12:56,011 --> 03:12:56,261
those into all our training

6061
03:12:57,977 --> 03:12:58,227
programs when we talk about the

6062
03:12:59,844 --> 03:13:00,094
different interventions AFla

6063
03:13:03,511 --> 03:13:03,761
which are a which I referenced

6064
03:13:05,944 --> 03:13:06,194
earlier Rhodes is also a was a

6065
03:13:07,944 --> 03:13:08,194
pilot that was funded through

6066
03:13:09,711 --> 03:13:09,961
Dieter. it was about half a

6067
03:13:11,711 --> 03:13:11,961
million dollars to serve about70

6068
03:13:13,977 --> 03:13:14,227
students in this exactly

6069
03:13:15,944 --> 03:13:16,194
workforce ecosystem. we end up

6070
03:13:17,977 --> 03:13:18,227
serving over100 because of that

6071
03:13:19,944 --> 03:13:20,194
braided funding approach

6072
03:13:21,977 --> 03:13:22,227
average of 90% training

6073
03:13:25,477 --> 03:13:25,727
completion average of about80%

6074
03:13:27,944 --> 03:13:28,194
employment. so again one of the

6075
03:13:29,811 --> 03:13:30,061
things that you'll see a theme

6076
03:13:30,477 --> 03:13:30,727
here is if we don't meet those

6077
03:13:31,644 --> 03:13:31,894
numbers we lose our funding

6078
03:13:35,777 --> 03:13:36,027
it's it's not a model that just

6079
03:13:37,744 --> 03:13:37,994
says here's money go train if

6080
03:13:39,477 --> 03:13:39,727
we're not meeting those numbers

6081
03:13:40,211 --> 03:13:40,461
the board will come back to us

6082
03:13:42,011 --> 03:13:42,261
based on what is on the eligible

6083
03:13:43,977 --> 03:13:44,227
training provider list says hey

6084
03:13:45,477 --> 03:13:45,727
you're not meeting that

6085
03:13:47,477 --> 03:13:47,727
threshold. some of you may be

6086
03:13:49,511 --> 03:13:49,761
familiar with shorter ell first

6087
03:13:50,277 --> 03:13:50,527
time that'll be an additional

6088
03:13:51,777 --> 03:13:52,027
funding stream but it'll just be

6089
03:13:53,977 --> 03:13:54,227
a last dollar type of component

6090
03:13:56,011 --> 03:13:56,261
but same thing these metrics are

6091
03:13:56,744 --> 03:13:56,994
across all workforce training

6092
03:14:01,477 --> 03:14:01,727
minimum their request is70%

6093
03:14:03,977 --> 03:14:04,227
completion70% placement we're

6094
03:14:04,611 --> 03:14:04,861
already exceeding that here in

6095
03:14:05,277 --> 03:14:05,527
southern Nevada.

6096
03:14:09,977 --> 03:14:10,227
this had a significant impact

6097
03:14:11,477 --> 03:14:11,727
some of the images you're

6098
03:14:13,477 --> 03:14:13,727
looking at now are from the

6099
03:14:14,177 --> 03:14:14,427
westsideducation Training Center

6100
03:14:16,244 --> 03:14:16,494
we all of our trainings are in

6101
03:14:18,244 --> 03:14:18,494
line with what we see as the

6102
03:14:21,477 --> 03:14:21,727
indeman occupations so this is

6103
03:14:23,511 --> 03:14:23,761
from the LvGEA theorkforce

6104
03:14:25,744 --> 03:14:25,994
nections the chamberlueprint we

6105
03:14:26,477 --> 03:14:26,727
also do work with David Schmidt

6106
03:14:28,011 --> 03:14:28,261
from Deeter who provides us

6107
03:14:30,011 --> 03:14:30,261
labor market information as well

6108
03:14:33,477 --> 03:14:33,727
on a continual basis one of

6109
03:14:34,244 --> 03:14:34,494
the things we do is there was a

6110
03:14:36,577 --> 03:14:36,827
lot of hey CNC is coming down

6111
03:14:37,244 --> 03:14:37,494
the pipeline we started

6112
03:14:39,977 --> 03:14:40,227
a CNC program we were

6113
03:14:41,977 --> 03:14:42,227
overproducing talent we stopped

6114
03:14:43,977 --> 03:14:44,227
the program. if the program does

6115
03:14:46,011 --> 03:14:46,261
not lead to unemployment that's

6116
03:14:47,511 --> 03:14:47,761
not how you treat people. you

6117
03:14:48,277 --> 03:14:48,527
don't put them in a training for

6118
03:14:50,244 --> 03:14:50,494
eight weeks they develop a skill

6119
03:14:51,677 --> 03:14:51,927
and now the employer is not

6120
03:14:52,244 --> 03:14:52,494
there.

6121
03:14:55,511 --> 03:14:55,761
now if that comes back in demand

6122
03:14:57,511 --> 03:14:57,761
we'll reimplement it and move

6123
03:15:00,244 --> 03:15:00,494
forward and so our areas our

6124
03:15:02,011 --> 03:15:02,261
health sciences advanced

6125
03:15:03,711 --> 03:15:03,961
manufacturing computer

6126
03:15:05,477 --> 03:15:05,727
information technology and the

6127
03:15:07,511 --> 03:15:07,761
skill trades CSN does serve as a

6128
03:15:09,511 --> 03:15:09,761
school of record for16 building

6129
03:15:11,511 --> 03:15:11,761
trades we have a very close

6130
03:15:12,244 --> 03:15:12,494
relationship with the southern

6131
03:15:14,277 --> 03:15:14,527
Nevada building trades. what

6132
03:15:15,944 --> 03:15:16,194
that means that serving as a

6133
03:15:17,777 --> 03:15:18,027
school of record when people say

6134
03:15:19,744 --> 03:15:19,994
hey don't go to consider the

6135
03:15:21,644 --> 03:15:21,894
trades instead of college here

6136
03:15:22,311 --> 03:15:22,561
the

6137
03:15:24,244 --> 03:15:24,494
trades is college. they are

6138
03:15:25,544 --> 03:15:25,794
earning credit through their

6139
03:15:27,511 --> 03:15:27,761
apprenticeship program. they're

6140
03:15:29,477 --> 03:15:29,727
literally6 credits away after

6141
03:15:31,477 --> 03:15:31,727
they complete their journeymen

6142
03:15:33,711 --> 03:15:33,961
or their apprenticeship program

6143
03:15:35,711 --> 03:15:35,961
these individuals are6 credits

6144
03:15:36,444 --> 03:15:36,694
away from getting their

6145
03:15:39,777 --> 03:15:40,027
associates in apprenticeship

6146
03:15:42,244 --> 03:15:42,494
studies and so it's it's making

6147
03:15:45,511 --> 03:15:45,761
sure that individuals go on and

6148
03:15:47,777 --> 03:15:48,027
you'll see some of the trade

6149
03:15:50,011 --> 03:15:50,261
leaders who are retired use that

6150
03:15:51,644 --> 03:15:51,894
and now have a four year degree

6151
03:15:52,311 --> 03:15:52,561
and have a whole another

6152
03:15:54,611 --> 03:15:54,861
life because of utilizing

6153
03:15:55,144 --> 03:15:55,394
that strategy.

6154
03:15:57,944 --> 03:15:58,194
I've already talked a little bit

6155
03:15:59,944 --> 03:16:00,194
about roads one of the things

6156
03:16:01,477 --> 03:16:01,727
we're most excited about is our

6157
03:16:02,444 --> 03:16:02,694
resilience for Nevada this is

6158
03:16:04,211 --> 03:16:04,461
also a workforce grant it is the

6159
03:16:06,211 --> 03:16:06,461
only workforce grant specific in

6160
03:16:08,211 --> 03:16:08,461
Nevada through the department of

6161
03:16:11,711 --> 03:16:11,961
healthalth and Humanervices for

6162
03:16:14,144 --> 03:16:14,394
individuals who have passed or

6163
03:16:14,811 --> 03:16:15,061
in were in recovery

6164
03:16:17,744 --> 03:16:17,994
and so as you know there are

6165
03:16:19,977 --> 03:16:20,227
some if based on your background

6166
03:16:22,244 --> 03:16:22,494
related to recovery you may not

6167
03:16:23,977 --> 03:16:24,227
be able to be eligible for

6168
03:16:25,511 --> 03:16:25,761
employment so we work very

6169
03:16:26,111 --> 03:16:26,361
closely with the local

6170
03:16:27,944 --> 03:16:28,194
municipalities if we can work

6171
03:16:29,477 --> 03:16:29,727
with those judges

6172
03:16:32,211 --> 03:16:32,461
to se or modify the record so

6173
03:16:34,211 --> 03:16:34,461
they can get employment we have

6174
03:16:36,011 --> 03:16:36,261
case managers that work with the

6175
03:16:38,011 --> 03:16:38,261
judicial the judicial system to

6176
03:16:38,677 --> 03:16:38,927
be able to do that

6177
03:16:41,744 --> 03:16:41,994
we also work very closely what

6178
03:16:43,477 --> 03:16:43,727
we call as recovery friendly

6179
03:16:44,211 --> 03:16:44,461
employers so they're straight

6180
03:16:47,711 --> 03:16:47,961
out hey yes we hire individuals

6181
03:16:49,777 --> 03:16:50,027
who've had this experience this

6182
03:16:51,777 --> 03:16:52,027
lived experience in the past and

6183
03:16:53,511 --> 03:16:53,761
so what we see a lot of those in

6184
03:16:54,244 --> 03:16:54,494
our peer support specialists

6185
03:16:56,277 --> 03:16:56,527
advanced manufacturing and some

6186
03:16:58,277 --> 03:16:58,527
community healthcare workers we

6187
03:17:00,211 --> 03:17:00,461
just finished our first year. we

6188
03:17:02,244 --> 03:17:02,494
were supposed to serve65. we

6189
03:17:04,211 --> 03:17:04,461
actually serve 95 but again

6190
03:17:07,777 --> 03:17:08,027
average8085% employment rate.

6191
03:17:08,377 --> 03:17:08,627
This also is

6192
03:17:11,944 --> 03:17:12,194
now causing us to look at CSN as

6193
03:17:15,477 --> 03:17:15,727
are we also a recovery friendly

6194
03:17:17,477 --> 03:17:17,727
entity because a lot of these

6195
03:17:18,211 --> 03:17:18,461
roles that were building and

6196
03:17:19,511 --> 03:17:19,761
working with the

6197
03:17:21,711 --> 03:17:21,961
recoveryfriendly recovery

6198
03:17:23,744 --> 03:17:23,994
community requires lived

6199
03:17:25,744 --> 03:17:25,994
experience and so we're

6200
03:17:26,211 --> 03:17:26,461
beginning to navigate what that

6201
03:17:27,811 --> 03:17:28,061
looks like in terms of that

6202
03:17:28,377 --> 03:17:28,627
infrastructure.

6203
03:17:32,411 --> 03:17:32,661
shared intake again I talked

6204
03:17:33,944 --> 03:17:34,194
about the the integration with

6205
03:17:36,177 --> 03:17:36,427
Title1 TitleI what does that

6206
03:17:37,944 --> 03:17:38,194
look like in terms of a

6207
03:17:41,477 --> 03:17:41,727
streamlined experience also

6208
03:17:43,477 --> 03:17:43,727
making sure that what we

6209
03:17:44,177 --> 03:17:44,427
recognize with these grants that

6210
03:17:45,977 --> 03:17:46,227
have been provided directly

6211
03:17:47,977 --> 03:17:48,227
tocSN it eliminates the

6212
03:17:49,944 --> 03:17:50,194
redundant processes we've talked

6213
03:17:52,211 --> 03:17:52,461
about Senator Deonte you

6214
03:17:54,211 --> 03:17:54,461
talked about efficiencies

6215
03:17:56,244 --> 03:17:56,494
these this type of opportunity

6216
03:17:57,977 --> 03:17:58,227
does eliminate redundant

6217
03:17:58,577 --> 03:17:58,827
processes significantly

6218
03:18:01,711 --> 03:18:01,961
ac ce le rate s the time that we

6219
03:18:03,477 --> 03:18:03,727
can see a student if a student

6220
03:18:05,711 --> 03:18:05,961
says hey I'm unemployed I need

6221
03:18:07,944 --> 03:18:08,194
to go to work like now and get

6222
03:18:11,477 --> 03:18:11,727
them trained it allows us to be

6223
03:18:12,144 --> 03:18:12,394
able to support them that much

6224
03:18:14,411 --> 03:18:14,661
quicker and again it's a

6225
03:18:16,011 --> 03:18:16,261
complete wraparound service to

6226
03:18:18,011 --> 03:18:18,261
make sure that these students

6227
03:18:19,977 --> 03:18:20,227
are successful again with our 13

6228
03:18:21,744 --> 03:18:21,994
sites across the different areas

6229
03:18:23,977 --> 03:18:24,227
also allows us to be where

6230
03:18:26,211 --> 03:18:26,461
everybody is again this is

6231
03:18:28,011 --> 03:18:28,261
the grand opening when about67

6232
03:18:28,677 --> 03:18:28,927
months ago at our westside

6233
03:18:29,244 --> 03:18:29,494
education

6234
03:18:31,944 --> 03:18:32,194
training center there's another

6235
03:18:33,711 --> 03:18:33,961
one being built called the Etsy

6236
03:18:35,944 --> 03:18:36,194
which is you guessed it the east

6237
03:18:38,177 --> 03:18:38,427
sideducation training center and

6238
03:18:40,211 --> 03:18:40,461
then a couple years down the

6239
03:18:42,177 --> 03:18:42,427
road and these are all in

6240
03:18:43,711 --> 03:18:43,961
partnership with the city of Las

6241
03:18:45,777 --> 03:18:46,027
Vegas we'll have a metzi which

6242
03:18:47,511 --> 03:18:47,761
is a medical education and

6243
03:18:48,244 --> 03:18:48,494
training center so the beautiful

6244
03:18:49,977 --> 03:18:50,227
thing about these is we're

6245
03:18:51,477 --> 03:18:51,727
building brick and mortar and

6246
03:18:53,477 --> 03:18:53,727
infrastructure and what that

6247
03:18:55,477 --> 03:18:55,727
does is allow us to expand the

6248
03:18:56,444 --> 03:18:56,694
services that that you've heard

6249
03:18:58,011 --> 03:18:58,261
here between all three

6250
03:18:58,511 --> 03:18:58,761
presentations this morning so

6251
03:18:59,177 --> 03:18:59,427
the

6252
03:19:01,711 --> 03:19:01,961
model that we're talking about

6253
03:19:03,711 --> 03:19:03,961
will exist at the Etsy will also

6254
03:19:05,711 --> 03:19:05,961
exists at the medical education

6255
03:19:07,711 --> 03:19:07,961
training center again the

6256
03:19:08,277 --> 03:19:08,527
biggest thing is what we're

6257
03:19:10,211 --> 03:19:10,461
realizing is collectively we

6258
03:19:13,477 --> 03:19:13,727
need to look at more dollars.

6259
03:19:14,444 --> 03:19:14,694
it's very easy if we were to

6260
03:19:16,244 --> 03:19:16,494
step on the gas we can run

6261
03:19:17,977 --> 03:19:18,227
through our money probably6

6262
03:19:19,944 --> 03:19:20,194
months through the the annual

6263
03:19:21,777 --> 03:19:22,027
money that is provided and

6264
03:19:23,477 --> 03:19:23,727
that's why we started braiding

6265
03:19:25,477 --> 03:19:25,727
these funds so that not only can

6266
03:19:26,211 --> 03:19:26,461
we serve more but we can also

6267
03:19:28,011 --> 03:19:28,261
stretch the dollars. all of us

6268
03:19:28,711 --> 03:19:28,961
have been in place where we

6269
03:19:29,277 --> 03:19:29,527
braided funds

6270
03:19:32,444 --> 03:19:32,694
some call it other things but

6271
03:19:33,977 --> 03:19:34,227
exactly to extend resources and

6272
03:19:35,977 --> 03:19:36,227
make sure we can continue to

6273
03:19:38,177 --> 03:19:38,427
deliver those high services. I

6274
03:19:39,711 --> 03:19:39,961
talked already a little about

6275
03:19:41,477 --> 03:19:41,727
afflow what that does what

6276
03:19:43,477 --> 03:19:43,727
that's provides in a perfect

6277
03:19:45,511 --> 03:19:45,761
world somebody comes works on

6278
03:19:47,744 --> 03:19:47,994
there high school equivalency is

6279
03:19:48,411 --> 03:19:48,661
enrolled in the short term

6280
03:19:51,744 --> 03:19:51,994
training becomes employed CSN is

6281
03:19:53,744 --> 03:19:53,994
also the only college in Nevada

6282
03:19:55,711 --> 03:19:55,961
where you have dual enrollment

6283
03:19:58,011 --> 03:19:58,261
for adults it's a federal

6284
03:19:58,611 --> 03:19:58,861
program called bility to

6285
03:19:59,144 --> 03:19:59,394
benefitnefit

6286
03:20:02,211 --> 03:20:02,461
we have great philanthropic

6287
03:20:03,977 --> 03:20:04,227
partners like Bank of America

6288
03:20:06,211 --> 03:20:06,461
and MGM who covers the first six

6289
03:20:09,477 --> 03:20:09,727
credits of these adult learners

6290
03:20:10,177 --> 03:20:10,427
they then become eligible for

6291
03:20:13,677 --> 03:20:13,927
Ffafa so just like there's dual

6292
03:20:14,411 --> 03:20:14,661
enrollment for high school

6293
03:20:17,511 --> 03:20:17,761
students this allows us to also

6294
03:20:18,311 --> 03:20:18,561
have dual enrollment for adult

6295
03:20:19,011 --> 03:20:19,261
learners.

6296
03:20:22,244 --> 03:20:22,494
Washington state has had this

6297
03:20:23,777 --> 03:20:24,027
program in place probably the

6298
03:20:25,777 --> 03:20:26,027
longest which means about10

6299
03:20:28,011 --> 03:20:28,261
years what they have found is

6300
03:20:29,744 --> 03:20:29,994
individuals secure their two

6301
03:20:31,477 --> 03:20:31,727
year degree before they actually

6302
03:20:32,211 --> 03:20:32,461
secure their high school

6303
03:20:34,011 --> 03:20:34,261
equivalency. I don't know about

6304
03:20:36,011 --> 03:20:36,261
you, I'm a horrible test taker

6305
03:20:37,977 --> 03:20:38,227
in order you're pass your GED

6306
03:20:38,644 --> 03:20:38,894
you have to take a test

6307
03:20:41,744 --> 03:20:41,994
if you're not a great test

6308
03:20:44,011 --> 03:20:44,261
taker, a lot of people give up

6309
03:20:47,477 --> 03:20:47,727
never get their GED but if

6310
03:20:48,011 --> 03:20:48,261
you're enrolled in a two year

6311
03:20:48,644 --> 03:20:48,894
degree

6312
03:20:51,744 --> 03:20:51,994
which is not your your destiny

6313
03:20:54,011 --> 03:20:54,261
is not based on one test but a

6314
03:20:55,711 --> 03:20:55,961
series of courses for you to

6315
03:20:57,744 --> 03:20:57,994
develop your knowledge base we

6316
03:20:59,744 --> 03:20:59,994
see a higher population so now

6317
03:21:00,344 --> 03:21:00,594
they don't even have to look

6318
03:21:01,977 --> 03:21:02,227
back at their high school

6319
03:21:03,777 --> 03:21:04,027
equivalency because they have

6320
03:21:05,511 --> 03:21:05,761
their two year degree they have

6321
03:21:06,244 --> 03:21:06,494
workforce training and they go

6322
03:21:07,644 --> 03:21:07,894
on and have a successful life.

6323
03:21:11,711 --> 03:21:11,961
lastst thing I'll share is about

6324
03:21:13,711 --> 03:21:13,961
our business development we also

6325
03:21:15,477 --> 03:21:15,727
do provide you've heard the term

6326
03:21:17,477 --> 03:21:17,727
incumbent workers we work very

6327
03:21:18,177 --> 03:21:18,427
closely with Dieter and

6328
03:21:19,944 --> 03:21:20,194
Workforce connectction on their

6329
03:21:21,711 --> 03:21:21,961
industry sector partnership

6330
03:21:24,044 --> 03:21:24,294
dollars as well as their

6331
03:21:27,477 --> 03:21:27,727
upscaling training dollars so

6332
03:21:29,511 --> 03:21:29,761
what we do is work with local

6333
03:21:31,477 --> 03:21:31,727
employers they identify what are

6334
03:21:32,211 --> 03:21:32,461
the talent gaps in their

6335
03:21:34,444 --> 03:21:34,694
businesses to keep team members

6336
03:21:36,177 --> 03:21:36,427
to stay competitive and also to

6337
03:21:38,211 --> 03:21:38,461
be relative in the workforce our

6338
03:21:39,644 --> 03:21:39,894
workforce trainings have about

6339
03:21:44,277 --> 03:21:44,527
a 15 fifteen% variance every 16

6340
03:21:44,944 --> 03:21:45,194
weeks

6341
03:21:47,944 --> 03:21:48,194
that's how quick business and

6342
03:21:50,177 --> 03:21:50,427
industry moves so we make

6343
03:21:51,944 --> 03:21:52,194
sure that whatever that student

6344
03:21:53,777 --> 03:21:54,027
is from class to class they're

6345
03:21:55,744 --> 03:21:55,994
experiencing the most updated

6346
03:21:57,944 --> 03:21:58,194
techniques strategies because we

6347
03:21:58,677 --> 03:21:58,927
want them to be the most

6348
03:22:01,477 --> 03:22:01,727
competitive individuals as they

6349
03:22:03,711 --> 03:22:03,961
go into the workforce and so

6350
03:22:04,311 --> 03:22:04,561
that's where the customized

6351
03:22:06,177 --> 03:22:06,427
training comes in if you go

6352
03:22:08,211 --> 03:22:08,461
and you ask for a suit and you

6353
03:22:10,211 --> 03:22:10,461
tell us as the employer you want

6354
03:22:11,944 --> 03:22:12,194
one sleeve longer than the other

6355
03:22:13,477 --> 03:22:13,727
that's what you're gonna get.

6356
03:22:14,211 --> 03:22:14,461
we're not gonna argue with you

6357
03:22:14,844 --> 03:22:15,094
you're the employer you know how

6358
03:22:16,677 --> 03:22:16,927
to run your business

6359
03:22:17,677 --> 03:22:17,927
excuse me

6360
03:22:20,144 --> 03:22:20,394
and so that is also a way that

6361
03:22:22,177 --> 03:22:22,427
we contribute to workforce

6362
03:22:25,477 --> 03:22:25,727
and economic development and

6363
03:22:26,377 --> 03:22:26,627
businesses industry competitive

6364
03:22:28,111 --> 03:22:28,361
competitiveness and

6365
03:22:28,544 --> 03:22:28,794
sustainability.

6366
03:22:32,211 --> 03:22:32,461
lastly and I think I said

6367
03:22:33,977 --> 03:22:34,227
that last time

6368
03:22:38,611 --> 03:22:38,861
So past tense

6369
03:22:41,977 --> 03:22:42,227
henderson chamber we were very

6370
03:22:43,544 --> 03:22:43,794
closely with Scott in the

6371
03:22:45,477 --> 03:22:45,727
henderson chamber. he has a

6372
03:22:47,477 --> 03:22:47,727
consortium of manufacturers we

6373
03:22:48,144 --> 03:22:48,394
actually have about6 or7

6374
03:22:50,077 --> 03:22:50,327
manufacturers that we currently

6375
03:22:51,744 --> 03:22:51,994
work with not only for entry

6376
03:22:53,511 --> 03:22:53,761
level but also for this

6377
03:22:55,744 --> 03:22:55,994
upscaling component we meet on a

6378
03:22:57,744 --> 03:22:57,994
monthly basis this group of

6379
03:22:59,711 --> 03:22:59,961
manufacturers tells us to our

6380
03:23:01,744 --> 03:23:01,994
face this is the training we

6381
03:23:02,311 --> 03:23:02,561
want. Here's the job

6382
03:23:03,977 --> 03:23:04,227
descriptions here's the contact

6383
03:23:05,944 --> 03:23:06,194
with the HR so when your

6384
03:23:07,977 --> 03:23:08,227
students graduate I'm giving you

6385
03:23:08,644 --> 03:23:08,894
the name of that HR rep so

6386
03:23:09,211 --> 03:23:09,461
there's

6387
03:23:11,911 --> 03:23:12,161
that warm handoff in that direct

6388
03:23:13,911 --> 03:23:14,161
connection it's those type of

6389
03:23:16,111 --> 03:23:16,361
intentional strategies like

6390
03:23:17,911 --> 03:23:18,161
Miss Irene was talking about

6391
03:23:18,544 --> 03:23:18,794
that leads to that success.

6392
03:23:23,677 --> 03:23:23,927
noncredit health sciences again

6393
03:23:26,111 --> 03:23:26,361
is our quick our our fastest

6394
03:23:26,777 --> 03:23:27,027
growing sector here in southern

6395
03:23:27,444 --> 03:23:27,694
Nevada.

6396
03:23:31,944 --> 03:23:32,194
and so a lot of our short

6397
03:23:33,711 --> 03:23:33,961
term trainings our entry level

6398
03:23:35,711 --> 03:23:35,961
positions we don't fund a

6399
03:23:36,311 --> 03:23:36,561
training that is not going to

6400
03:23:37,677 --> 03:23:37,927
yield a minimum of $20 an hour.

6401
03:23:41,677 --> 03:23:41,927
we don't do12 dollars,15

6402
03:23:43,911 --> 03:23:44,161
dollarsdivis normally can do

6403
03:23:45,677 --> 03:23:45,927
that on their own. The trainings

6404
03:23:47,477 --> 03:23:47,727
that we have make sure that at a

6405
03:23:49,477 --> 03:23:49,727
minimum they're walking out of

6406
03:23:50,177 --> 03:23:50,427
the door and making a minimum

6407
03:23:51,944 --> 03:23:52,194
of40,000 dollars a year. that's

6408
03:23:55,477 --> 03:23:55,727
not a lot.1fteen years ago maybe

6409
03:23:57,477 --> 03:23:57,727
but still that's the threshold

6410
03:23:58,177 --> 03:23:58,427
that we want to make sure that's

6411
03:23:59,711 --> 03:23:59,961
part of the business industry to

6412
03:24:01,611 --> 03:24:01,861
say hey what is competitive

6413
03:24:02,177 --> 03:24:02,427
wages look like?

6414
03:24:09,744 --> 03:24:09,994
ai there's a a college wide we

6415
03:24:10,411 --> 03:24:10,661
have an Ai ambassador

6416
03:24:13,777 --> 03:24:14,027
that is informing and meeting

6417
03:24:16,311 --> 03:24:16,561
with what does artificial

6418
03:24:18,044 --> 03:24:18,294
intelligence look like within

6419
03:24:18,644 --> 03:24:18,894
the collegelege of southern

6420
03:24:21,477 --> 03:24:21,727
nevada and she has a task

6421
03:24:23,744 --> 03:24:23,994
forcece on AI where all the

6422
03:24:24,511 --> 03:24:24,761
institutions meet and talk about

6423
03:24:26,044 --> 03:24:26,294
what this component looks like

6424
03:24:28,311 --> 03:24:28,561
it is already embedded it's here

6425
03:24:30,277 --> 03:24:30,527
it's embedded in manufacturing

6426
03:24:32,011 --> 03:24:32,261
and it's embedded in healthcare

6427
03:24:34,011 --> 03:24:34,261
it's embedded in business

6428
03:24:36,544 --> 03:24:36,794
operations our responsibility is

6429
03:24:37,777 --> 03:24:38,027
to make sure that where it's

6430
03:24:39,811 --> 03:24:40,061
embedded these are incorporated

6431
03:24:40,444 --> 03:24:40,694
into our trainings so

6432
03:24:43,511 --> 03:24:43,761
that that that individual has

6433
03:24:44,277 --> 03:24:44,527
competencies awareness and

6434
03:24:47,477 --> 03:24:47,727
success based on what it is

6435
03:24:48,277 --> 03:24:48,527
those AI skills are that are

6436
03:24:51,477 --> 03:24:51,727
required so that they're also s

6437
03:24:54,244 --> 03:24:54,494
successful so for us AI is

6438
03:24:56,277 --> 03:24:56,527
another tool and another skill

6439
03:24:58,244 --> 03:24:58,494
that is incorporated in

6440
03:25:00,277 --> 03:25:00,527
contextualized because the job

6441
03:25:02,244 --> 03:25:02,494
requested and again the goal is

6442
03:25:04,344 --> 03:25:04,594
to make sure our students are

6443
03:25:05,011 --> 03:25:05,261
successful.

6444
03:25:09,477 --> 03:25:09,727
I talked about the digital

6445
03:25:10,444 --> 03:25:10,694
integration employerdriven

6446
03:25:12,244 --> 03:25:12,494
curriculum, short term training

6447
03:25:14,311 --> 03:25:14,561
wrap it up skilling and again

6448
03:25:19,477 --> 03:25:19,727
it for us the AI dialogue has

6449
03:25:20,444 --> 03:25:20,694
actually we've had an increase

6450
03:25:22,277 --> 03:25:22,527
of companies that have reached

6451
03:25:24,244 --> 03:25:24,494
out to us to say hey because

6452
03:25:26,344 --> 03:25:26,594
we've incorporated AI into our

6453
03:25:27,011 --> 03:25:27,261
business model

6454
03:25:29,777 --> 03:25:30,027
what does that look like from a

6455
03:25:31,744 --> 03:25:31,994
training perspective? Our SMmes

6456
03:25:33,744 --> 03:25:33,994
meet with their SMmes we take

6457
03:25:34,344 --> 03:25:34,594
directly from the job

6458
03:25:35,977 --> 03:25:36,227
description and the roles that

6459
03:25:37,511 --> 03:25:37,761
the business give us it's

6460
03:25:38,244 --> 03:25:38,494
incorporated and contextualized

6461
03:25:41,511 --> 03:25:41,761
as part of the training that

6462
03:25:42,111 --> 03:25:42,361
student comes out with that

6463
03:25:43,844 --> 03:25:44,094
skill that that employer has

6464
03:25:44,511 --> 03:25:44,761
asked for.

6465
03:25:47,744 --> 03:25:47,994
I talked about again this is

6466
03:25:49,477 --> 03:25:49,727
probably being a theme to

6467
03:25:51,477 --> 03:25:51,727
diversify it does it have to be

6468
03:25:52,544 --> 03:25:52,794
new funding? No could it be more

6469
03:25:54,277 --> 03:25:54,527
strategic funding like Irene

6470
03:25:56,011 --> 03:25:56,261
said absolutely and I think

6471
03:25:56,644 --> 03:25:56,894
those are worth having some

6472
03:25:57,244 --> 03:25:57,494
conversations

6473
03:25:58,411 --> 03:25:58,661
the pipeline

6474
03:26:04,277 --> 03:26:04,527
again 231,000 individuals we

6475
03:26:05,977 --> 03:26:06,227
get about 1000 of those that

6476
03:26:08,211 --> 03:26:08,461
come to us to a year we have

6477
03:26:09,977 --> 03:26:10,227
ongoing within the division of

6478
03:26:13,511 --> 03:26:13,761
workforce about7,000 students

6479
03:26:14,111 --> 03:26:14,361
who are someplace in their

6480
03:26:16,377 --> 03:26:16,627
trajectory of their learning and

6481
03:26:17,111 --> 03:26:17,361
then career experience.

6482
03:26:23,977 --> 03:26:24,227
Again going back to AB354 we are

6483
03:26:25,744 --> 03:26:25,994
intentionally in those areas

6484
03:26:28,211 --> 03:26:28,461
that AB354 narrates talks about

6485
03:26:30,444 --> 03:26:30,694
that should be reached we

6486
03:26:32,211 --> 03:26:32,461
have direct conversation with

6487
03:26:34,011 --> 03:26:34,261
those employers all the time

6488
03:26:35,977 --> 03:26:36,227
what are the things we preface

6489
03:26:37,977 --> 03:26:38,227
is to make sure that hey as

6490
03:26:39,977 --> 03:26:40,227
business and industry is growing

6491
03:26:41,977 --> 03:26:42,227
and is diversifying so should

6492
03:26:43,511 --> 03:26:43,761
the talent pipeline so that's

6493
03:26:44,277 --> 03:26:44,527
where the city of Las Vegas

6494
03:26:45,777 --> 03:26:46,027
comes in with their direct

6495
03:26:47,977 --> 03:26:48,227
targeting outreach being able to

6496
03:26:49,844 --> 03:26:50,094
pull individuals who've already

6497
03:26:50,511 --> 03:26:50,761
identified an interest

6498
03:26:53,511 --> 03:26:53,761
the employer's already lined up

6499
03:26:55,477 --> 03:26:55,727
we reverse engineer we don't do

6500
03:26:57,477 --> 03:26:57,727
a training and then go find an

6501
03:26:58,211 --> 03:26:58,461
employer I don't know if you

6502
03:26:59,944 --> 03:27:00,194
ever seen that movie Arthur

6503
03:27:01,511 --> 03:27:01,761
where he shoots and then says it

6504
03:27:03,511 --> 03:27:03,761
and he says pool and then shoots

6505
03:27:04,211 --> 03:27:04,461
and says hit the bullet hit the

6506
03:27:06,177 --> 03:27:06,427
bullet we don't do that we start

6507
03:27:07,877 --> 03:27:08,127
with the employer first and then

6508
03:27:11,511 --> 03:27:11,761
develop the training from

6509
03:27:12,211 --> 03:27:12,461
there I know I aged myself with

6510
03:27:13,744 --> 03:27:13,994
that movie I was just like are

6511
03:27:15,511 --> 03:27:15,761
we talking about the cartoon Ar

6512
03:27:17,511 --> 03:27:17,761
there like what it was the

6513
03:27:18,177 --> 03:27:18,427
eightys movie that's my bad

6514
03:27:23,511 --> 03:27:23,761
do you again our whole thing

6515
03:27:24,244 --> 03:27:24,494
is about equitable social

6516
03:27:27,477 --> 03:27:27,727
mobility individuals if you

6517
03:27:29,511 --> 03:27:29,761
qua if you make less than40,000

6518
03:27:31,711 --> 03:27:31,961
a year you're gonna qualify for

6519
03:27:33,511 --> 03:27:33,761
the training and support one of

6520
03:27:34,311 --> 03:27:34,561
the biggest successes that we've

6521
03:27:37,777 --> 03:27:38,027
had is when the employers embed

6522
03:27:39,777 --> 03:27:40,027
the training that CSM delivers

6523
03:27:43,744 --> 03:27:43,994
into the job description once a

6524
03:27:46,044 --> 03:27:46,294
in a job seeker sees that hey

6525
03:27:47,777 --> 03:27:48,027
it's not just I need a four year

6526
03:27:48,477 --> 03:27:48,727
degree but I can take the 16

6527
03:27:49,077 --> 03:27:49,327
week

6528
03:27:51,644 --> 03:27:51,894
CSN class and you're going to

6529
03:27:52,277 --> 03:27:52,527
hire me

6530
03:27:53,777 --> 03:27:54,027
we get people that are willing

6531
03:27:55,744 --> 03:27:55,994
to pay out of pocket and they

6532
03:27:57,477 --> 03:27:57,727
saved up however they got the

6533
03:27:59,777 --> 03:28:00,027
money that's not us to ask but

6534
03:28:01,511 --> 03:28:01,761
we do see a lot of out of pocket

6535
03:28:02,344 --> 03:28:02,594
pay when they know if they take

6536
03:28:04,311 --> 03:28:04,561
the training that that employer

6537
03:28:06,077 --> 03:28:06,327
is going to accept that training

6538
03:28:07,777 --> 03:28:08,027
that's huge in the health

6539
03:28:09,744 --> 03:28:09,994
industry CcSd does that for

6540
03:28:11,744 --> 03:28:11,994
several of our trainings

6541
03:28:13,511 --> 03:28:13,761
we're now starting to get

6542
03:28:15,744 --> 03:28:15,994
manufacturers to list that

6543
03:28:17,811 --> 03:28:18,061
ourciSN customized trainings are

6544
03:28:20,077 --> 03:28:20,327
part of that process and so

6545
03:28:21,744 --> 03:28:21,994
that's how we sustain that

6546
03:28:22,311 --> 03:28:22,561
employment and that talent

6547
03:28:22,844 --> 03:28:23,094
pi pe line

6548
03:28:23,644 --> 03:28:23,894
thank you

6549
03:28:26,611 --> 03:28:26,861
we have one question

6550
03:28:28,244 --> 03:28:28,494
assembliman to silva

6551
03:28:30,177 --> 03:28:30,427
thank you chair

6552
03:28:33,711 --> 03:28:33,961
Mr Corbett it's always good

6553
03:28:35,477 --> 03:28:35,727
to see you my constituent and my

6554
03:28:37,477 --> 03:28:37,727
neighbor. I know you quickly

6555
03:28:38,177 --> 03:28:38,427
glanced on this but the east

6556
03:28:39,777 --> 03:28:40,027
side training center at just a

6557
03:28:40,477 --> 03:28:40,727
two part question about that of

6558
03:28:42,244 --> 03:28:42,494
course so firstly what's the

6559
03:28:43,977 --> 03:28:44,227
actual progress with that like

6560
03:28:45,744 --> 03:28:45,994
how is it looking like with

6561
03:28:46,344 --> 03:28:46,594
the program looking like what is

6562
03:28:49,744 --> 03:28:49,994
it said to be an open opening

6563
03:28:51,511 --> 03:28:51,761
what what parts of the workforce

6564
03:28:52,244 --> 03:28:52,494
are you going to be specifically

6565
03:28:54,011 --> 03:28:54,261
focusing on the if there's going

6566
03:28:55,744 --> 03:28:55,994
to be a specific focus and then

6567
03:28:57,511 --> 03:28:57,761
secondly is the fact that I

6568
03:28:58,211 --> 03:28:58,461
think that training center is

6569
03:29:00,011 --> 03:29:00,261
ideally located it's on the

6570
03:29:00,611 --> 03:29:00,861
corner of a washing I'm sorry

6571
03:29:01,277 --> 03:29:01,527
bonanz and pickles

6572
03:29:05,477 --> 03:29:05,727
there are over5 potentially6

6573
03:29:06,211 --> 03:29:06,461
high schools within a seven

6574
03:29:07,977 --> 03:29:08,227
minute drive that we're talking

6575
03:29:08,677 --> 03:29:08,927
about anywhere from10,000

6576
03:29:09,877 --> 03:29:10,127
to12,000 you know a

6577
03:29:13,511 --> 03:29:13,761
13 to 8 year olds who are

6578
03:29:15,777 --> 03:29:16,027
looking for a some kind of a a

6579
03:29:16,411 --> 03:29:16,661
step that they can take after

6580
03:29:18,011 --> 03:29:18,261
they graduate so I was wondering

6581
03:29:19,511 --> 03:29:19,761
if there's any relationships

6582
03:29:20,277 --> 03:29:20,527
that are being built with those

6583
03:29:21,977 --> 03:29:22,227
particular schools within that

6584
03:29:23,844 --> 03:29:24,094
area there0% assembly men and

6585
03:29:24,444 --> 03:29:24,694
and so

6586
03:29:26,277 --> 03:29:26,527
we're looking at breaking

6587
03:29:27,977 --> 03:29:28,227
ground probably January so6

6588
03:29:28,544 --> 03:29:28,794
months.

6589
03:29:31,944 --> 03:29:32,194
what we know about the wetsy

6590
03:29:32,577 --> 03:29:32,827
it took him about12 months

6591
03:29:33,177 --> 03:29:33,427
construction

6592
03:29:34,211 --> 03:29:34,461
and so I firstee as

6593
03:29:39,744 --> 03:29:39,994
at the earliest running programs

6594
03:29:42,244 --> 03:29:42,494
as early as January2028. so

6595
03:29:43,844 --> 03:29:44,094
about 16 months away se7 months

6596
03:29:44,511 --> 03:29:44,761
away

6597
03:29:46,244 --> 03:29:46,494
I'm glad that you mentioned

6598
03:29:47,744 --> 03:29:47,994
the high schools we're working

6599
03:29:50,011 --> 03:29:50,261
with several high schools now on

6600
03:29:51,977 --> 03:29:52,227
an innovate an intervention

6601
03:29:53,777 --> 03:29:54,027
based workforce strategy which

6602
03:29:55,777 --> 03:29:56,027
is well identify those high

6603
03:29:57,744 --> 03:29:57,994
school seniors who said I'm not

6604
03:29:58,477 --> 03:29:58,727
going they're on target to

6605
03:29:59,011 --> 03:29:59,261
graduate

6606
03:30:00,911 --> 03:30:01,161
but they're not really

6607
03:30:02,244 --> 03:30:02,494
interested or either in post sec

6608
03:30:04,311 --> 03:30:04,561
and postsecondary anything they

6609
03:30:04,977 --> 03:30:05,227
just don't know

6610
03:30:07,544 --> 03:30:07,794
and so what we've been able to

6611
03:30:09,511 --> 03:30:09,761
do at western high school and

6612
03:30:10,244 --> 03:30:10,494
we're opening it up to a couple

6613
03:30:11,977 --> 03:30:12,227
more high schools specifically

6614
03:30:13,977 --> 03:30:14,227
in the historic west side area

6615
03:30:17,477 --> 03:30:17,727
is going and provide training

6616
03:30:19,511 --> 03:30:19,761
the last quarter of that

6617
03:30:20,211 --> 03:30:20,461
student's high school year. so

6618
03:30:23,511 --> 03:30:23,761
when they graduate they're also

6619
03:30:24,211 --> 03:30:24,461
receiving an industryrecod

6620
03:30:27,477 --> 03:30:27,727
credential and so it's bringing

6621
03:30:29,711 --> 03:30:29,961
the CTE model to them at these

6622
03:30:30,477 --> 03:30:30,727
comprehensive high schools where

6623
03:30:32,277 --> 03:30:32,527
those CTE programs are not as

6624
03:30:34,377 --> 03:30:34,627
robust so we'll do that

6625
03:30:34,911 --> 03:30:35,161
similarly with a desert

6626
03:30:39,644 --> 03:30:39,894
pines rancho Elorrado, Vegas and

6627
03:30:40,311 --> 03:30:40,561
sunrise

6628
03:30:45,944 --> 03:30:46,194
OK thank you for that we

6629
03:30:48,011 --> 03:30:48,261
appreciate your presentation you

6630
03:30:48,677 --> 03:30:48,927
spending your morning with us

6631
03:30:52,144 --> 03:30:52,394
we will close this out and we

6632
03:30:53,611 --> 03:30:53,861
will try

6633
03:30:57,477 --> 03:30:57,727
to fit in the gaming taxes and

6634
03:30:58,144 --> 03:30:58,394
then we'll break for lunch.

6635
03:31:00,577 --> 03:31:00,827
so we'll go back to agenda item

6636
03:31:01,277 --> 03:31:01,527
number6

6637
03:31:03,811 --> 03:31:04,061
and then we will break for

6638
03:31:07,644 --> 03:31:07,894
think everybody's hungry

6639
03:31:43,744 --> 03:31:43,994
i ne al and members of the

6640
03:31:44,444 --> 03:31:44,694
committee, thank you for

6641
03:31:44,977 --> 03:31:45,227
having us today

6642
03:31:47,777 --> 03:31:48,027
my name is Shelly Newe I'm

6643
03:31:49,744 --> 03:31:49,994
the senior economic analyst for

6644
03:31:50,411 --> 03:31:50,661
the Nevada Gaming Control Board

6645
03:31:54,244 --> 03:31:54,494
and we've been asked to give

6646
03:31:56,244 --> 03:31:56,494
an overview of the gaming taxes

6647
03:31:57,811 --> 03:31:58,061
and fees that are imposed by the

6648
03:31:58,477 --> 03:31:58,727
state of Nevada

6649
03:32:00,444 --> 03:32:00,694
and with that said all'll go

6650
03:32:02,044 --> 03:32:02,294
ahead and start our slide

6651
03:32:02,611 --> 03:32:02,861
presentation.

6652
03:32:07,944 --> 03:32:08,194
often in the gaming industry we

6653
03:32:09,944 --> 03:32:10,194
break our licensees down so

6654
03:32:11,477 --> 03:32:11,727
you're gonna see in our

6655
03:32:13,511 --> 03:32:13,761
taxing labels you're going to

6656
03:32:14,111 --> 03:32:14,361
see that we are broken and we've

6657
03:32:15,744 --> 03:32:15,994
broken them down into restricted

6658
03:32:17,511 --> 03:32:17,761
and nonrestricted. I thought it

6659
03:32:19,511 --> 03:32:19,761
was important to point that out

6660
03:32:20,211 --> 03:32:20,461
because as you look at some of

6661
03:32:22,011 --> 03:32:22,261
the fees you'll see that in the

6662
03:32:23,711 --> 03:32:23,961
in the name are restricted

6663
03:32:27,711 --> 03:32:27,961
licensees are those who have1f

6664
03:32:28,377 --> 03:32:28,627
slot machines

6665
03:32:31,477 --> 03:32:31,727
not more than1f so it's1f or

6666
03:32:33,777 --> 03:32:34,027
less and then if you have16 it

6667
03:32:35,911 --> 03:32:36,161
moves you to the nonrestricted

6668
03:32:36,577 --> 03:32:36,827
licensing category

6669
03:32:39,511 --> 03:32:39,761
so anybody who has16 or more

6670
03:32:40,211 --> 03:32:40,461
slot machines or if you want to

6671
03:32:41,977 --> 03:32:42,227
do game and tables or any

6672
03:32:44,144 --> 03:32:44,394
combination thereof you'll fall

6673
03:32:44,811 --> 03:32:45,061
into that category

6674
03:32:47,744 --> 03:32:47,994
uhd additionally you'll hear in

6675
03:32:49,511 --> 03:32:49,761
the gaming industry that you

6676
03:32:50,244 --> 03:32:50,494
hear us refer to group one and

6677
03:32:52,244 --> 03:32:52,494
group two licenseesroup one

6678
03:32:54,011 --> 03:32:54,261
licensees are those having gross

6679
03:32:55,977 --> 03:32:56,227
revenue over approximately8

6680
03:32:58,044 --> 03:32:58,294
million dollars and they'll fall

6681
03:32:59,544 --> 03:32:59,794
under the purview of the audit

6682
03:33:01,511 --> 03:33:01,761
division anyone in the

6683
03:33:02,011 --> 03:33:02,261
nonrestricted falling under

6684
03:33:04,044 --> 03:33:04,294
that8 million dollars threshold

6685
03:33:06,044 --> 03:33:06,294
approximately will be under the

6686
03:33:06,711 --> 03:33:06,961
purview of our tax and license

6687
03:33:07,377 --> 03:33:07,627
division.

6688
03:33:11,744 --> 03:33:11,994
so moving on to our next slide,

6689
03:33:13,977 --> 03:33:14,227
our revenues are broken down

6690
03:33:16,277 --> 03:33:16,527
into majors and minors as you

6691
03:33:17,744 --> 03:33:17,994
had a chance to maybe go through

6692
03:33:19,511 --> 03:33:19,761
our slide you saw some of the

6693
03:33:20,244 --> 03:33:20,494
percentages majorjors are

6694
03:33:21,977 --> 03:33:22,227
obviously major because they

6695
03:33:23,744 --> 03:33:23,994
bring in over 9 some% of the

6696
03:33:24,577 --> 03:33:24,827
revenue right now they're around

6697
03:33:25,244 --> 03:33:25,494
92.5%

6698
03:33:29,977 --> 03:33:30,227
the two majors are are

6699
03:33:31,977 --> 03:33:32,227
percentage fee collections and

6700
03:33:33,777 --> 03:33:34,027
our live entertainment tax

6701
03:33:35,744 --> 03:33:35,994
collections in February of this

6702
03:33:38,244 --> 03:33:38,494
year we had a presentation by

6703
03:33:39,977 --> 03:33:40,227
Michael Nakamoto who gave a

6704
03:33:41,977 --> 03:33:42,227
presentation on the LEt we are

6705
03:33:42,611 --> 03:33:42,861
also here to answer some of

6706
03:33:43,177 --> 03:33:43,427
those questions

6707
03:33:46,211 --> 03:33:46,461
percentage fee collections is

6708
03:33:48,011 --> 03:33:48,261
what we're gonna focus on here

6709
03:33:49,711 --> 03:33:49,961
we didn't reenter any

6710
03:33:50,544 --> 03:33:50,794
information on the LAT since

6711
03:33:51,211 --> 03:33:51,461
that was back in February

6712
03:33:56,244 --> 03:33:56,494
our minors we have a number of

6713
03:33:59,477 --> 03:33:59,727
miners there from annual feast

6714
03:34:01,744 --> 03:34:01,994
quarterly fees and then operator

6715
03:34:02,411 --> 03:34:02,661
so to speak type license fees

6716
03:34:05,511 --> 03:34:05,761
and then we'll go through each

6717
03:34:06,277 --> 03:34:06,527
one of those briefly as we touch

6718
03:34:07,644 --> 03:34:07,894
on the slides as we move

6719
03:34:08,211 --> 03:34:08,461
forward.

6720
03:34:12,577 --> 03:34:12,827
our first one here is the

6721
03:34:13,144 --> 03:34:13,394
percentage fees

6722
03:34:16,444 --> 03:34:16,694
this is obviously the largest

6723
03:34:18,011 --> 03:34:18,261
one that we have it's

6724
03:34:21,744 --> 03:34:21,994
approximately85.2% this last

6725
03:34:23,477 --> 03:34:23,727
fiscal year of what brought in

6726
03:34:25,511 --> 03:34:25,761
the the tax dollars for gaming

6727
03:34:26,277 --> 03:34:26,527
those are the numbers that you

6728
03:34:27,977 --> 03:34:28,227
see there for fiscal year 25 and

6729
03:34:30,211 --> 03:34:30,461
26. it is based on the

6730
03:34:32,377 --> 03:34:32,627
monthly taxable gross gaming

6731
03:34:33,044 --> 03:34:33,294
revenue

6732
03:34:36,277 --> 03:34:36,527
and a licensee will pay it in

6733
03:34:37,977 --> 03:34:38,227
the following month it's due by

6734
03:34:38,677 --> 03:34:38,927
the1fth of the following month

6735
03:34:42,211 --> 03:34:42,461
it is a tiered structure at3.5%

6736
03:34:45,711 --> 03:34:45,961
for the first54.5% of84 and

6737
03:34:47,844 --> 03:34:48,094
then6.75 of everything after

6738
03:34:48,511 --> 03:34:48,761
that

6739
03:34:50,277 --> 03:34:50,527
oftentimes when we're talking

6740
03:34:51,477 --> 03:34:51,727
though you're just gonna hear us

6741
03:34:54,044 --> 03:34:54,294
say6.75 there is still that3.5

6742
03:34:55,744 --> 03:34:55,994
and4.55 we just don't say that

6743
03:34:56,377 --> 03:34:56,627
because it's cumbersome to to

6744
03:34:57,011 --> 03:34:57,261
throw that out there

6745
03:34:59,911 --> 03:35:00,161
the last fee update was in

6746
03:35:03,744 --> 03:35:03,994
2003 back during the 20th

6747
03:35:05,511 --> 03:35:05,761
special session of the

6748
03:35:07,544 --> 03:35:07,794
legislature due to the budget

6749
03:35:09,977 --> 03:35:10,227
deficit we went from that

6750
03:35:11,477 --> 03:35:11,727
smaller percentage to the6.2r to

6751
03:35:13,977 --> 03:35:14,227
the675 nothing else in that

6752
03:35:15,511 --> 03:35:15,761
structure in the tier structure

6753
03:35:16,244 --> 03:35:16,494
changed for those lower levels

6754
03:35:22,177 --> 03:35:22,427
So moving on we also have our

6755
03:35:24,211 --> 03:35:24,461
quarterly nonrestricted slot

6756
03:35:26,544 --> 03:35:26,794
fees are quarterly restricted

6757
03:35:28,277 --> 03:35:28,527
slot fees the collections for

6758
03:35:29,944 --> 03:35:30,194
both fiscal years are there as

6759
03:35:30,644 --> 03:35:30,894
you can see

6760
03:35:34,244 --> 03:35:34,494
for the quarterly nonrestricted

6761
03:35:36,311 --> 03:35:36,561
slot fee it's a fee that's based

6762
03:35:39,977 --> 03:35:40,227
on a per slot machine basis

6763
03:35:41,711 --> 03:35:41,961
and that's for a nonrestricted

6764
03:35:43,477 --> 03:35:43,727
licensees the last update was

6765
03:35:44,344 --> 03:35:44,594
in'81 when it was10 dollars a

6766
03:35:44,911 --> 03:35:45,161
slot machine

6767
03:35:47,477 --> 03:35:47,727
then we have our quarterly

6768
03:35:49,477 --> 03:35:49,727
restricted slot fees and there's

6769
03:35:51,511 --> 03:35:51,761
a range there and again back in

6770
03:35:53,511 --> 03:35:53,761
the appendix we give you the

6771
03:35:55,511 --> 03:35:55,761
breakdown of how those are

6772
03:35:57,511 --> 03:35:57,761
paid by our licensees and it's

6773
03:35:58,211 --> 03:35:58,461
on a per device type

6774
03:36:00,677 --> 03:36:00,927
tier structure there

6775
03:36:05,744 --> 03:36:05,994
other than that because

6776
03:36:07,744 --> 03:36:07,994
it's a long appendix I'm not

6777
03:36:08,344 --> 03:36:08,594
going to go through that I'll

6778
03:36:11,911 --> 03:36:12,161
let you do that as you peruse

6779
03:36:12,577 --> 03:36:12,827
peruse the appendix there

6780
03:36:15,977 --> 03:36:16,227
then we have our quarterly

6781
03:36:16,577 --> 03:36:16,827
nonrestricted game fees

6782
03:36:20,011 --> 03:36:20,261
this payment is based on the

6783
03:36:21,511 --> 03:36:21,761
number of games and

6784
03:36:22,277 --> 03:36:22,527
nonrestricted licensee is

6785
03:36:24,277 --> 03:36:24,527
operating each quarter. if you

6786
03:36:26,277 --> 03:36:26,527
go to the statue if you try to

6787
03:36:28,244 --> 03:36:28,494
tie the dollars to our appendix

6788
03:36:29,744 --> 03:36:29,994
you're not going to do that

6789
03:36:32,011 --> 03:36:32,261
because the statute has the rate

6790
03:36:34,244 --> 03:36:34,494
in there at an annual rate so

6791
03:36:35,844 --> 03:36:36,094
it's applied at a quarterly rate

6792
03:36:37,544 --> 03:36:37,794
so you take 1/4 of that number

6793
03:36:38,144 --> 03:36:38,394
you'll get to what you see in

6794
03:36:38,811 --> 03:36:39,061
the fee structure

6795
03:36:41,977 --> 03:36:42,227
again the last update was

6796
03:36:42,544 --> 03:36:42,794
in1981

6797
03:36:45,644 --> 03:36:45,894
and I'll move on to the next tax

6798
03:36:49,744 --> 03:36:49,994
and and the quarterlies combined

6799
03:36:50,411 --> 03:36:50,661
the three that we just kind of

6800
03:36:51,977 --> 03:36:52,227
talked about they bring in about

6801
03:36:53,977 --> 03:36:54,227
2% of the collections overall so

6802
03:36:54,677 --> 03:36:54,927
it's not a material number

6803
03:36:59,744 --> 03:36:59,994
the unredeemed wagering vouchers

6804
03:37:01,611 --> 03:37:01,861
it's also one of our miners

6805
03:37:03,811 --> 03:37:04,061
this is where

6806
03:37:07,711 --> 03:37:07,961
75 % of the value of the

6807
03:37:09,744 --> 03:37:09,994
unredeemed wagering vouchers

6808
03:37:12,177 --> 03:37:12,427
on a quarterly basis go on to

6809
03:37:14,211 --> 03:37:14,461
the tax return filed by our

6810
03:37:17,511 --> 03:37:17,761
licensees they remit what they

6811
03:37:18,211 --> 03:37:18,461
do is they place basically100%

6812
03:37:20,044 --> 03:37:20,294
of the value on there takes75%

6813
03:37:21,511 --> 03:37:21,761
that gets submitted to the state

6814
03:37:24,244 --> 03:37:24,494
in whole. The other 25% gets

6815
03:37:27,744 --> 03:37:27,994
added back into the respective

6816
03:37:29,977 --> 03:37:30,227
revenue so whether it's slots or

6817
03:37:32,211 --> 03:37:32,461
sports and or quino where

6818
03:37:33,944 --> 03:37:34,194
there's vouchers it will get

6819
03:37:34,511 --> 03:37:34,761
added back to the respective

6820
03:37:35,077 --> 03:37:35,327
revenue

6821
03:37:37,744 --> 03:37:37,994
and then the percentage fee tax

6822
03:37:38,477 --> 03:37:38,727
is paid where you'll see

6823
03:37:41,877 --> 03:37:42,127
that6.75% component hit

6824
03:37:44,211 --> 03:37:44,461
so it's not that they keep it

6825
03:37:45,977 --> 03:37:46,227
and don't pay tax some people

6826
03:37:47,711 --> 03:37:47,961
think that they don't pay tax

6827
03:37:48,311 --> 03:37:48,561
when it goes back to them they

6828
03:37:49,677 --> 03:37:49,927
do pay taxes just a percentage

6829
03:37:50,344 --> 03:37:50,594
fee tax

6830
03:37:54,011 --> 03:37:54,261
then we have our manufacturer

6831
03:37:56,011 --> 03:37:56,261
and distributor license fees

6832
03:37:57,711 --> 03:37:57,961
for those coming in the door

6833
03:37:59,477 --> 03:37:59,727
that want to be licensed as a

6834
03:38:00,411 --> 03:38:00,661
manufacturer or a distributor

6835
03:38:04,011 --> 03:38:04,261
they have to pay an annual fee

6836
03:38:06,211 --> 03:38:06,461
the rates are right there

6837
03:38:09,477 --> 03:38:09,727
where you have the1000 and

6838
03:38:12,311 --> 03:38:12,561
the500 and again last update was

6839
03:38:13,011 --> 03:38:13,261
in1983

6840
03:38:17,711 --> 03:38:17,961
and we'll move on those were

6841
03:38:19,944 --> 03:38:20,194
implemented more more so for

6842
03:38:21,977 --> 03:38:22,227
oversight not because they were

6843
03:38:23,944 --> 03:38:24,194
bringing in revenue dollars it

6844
03:38:24,544 --> 03:38:24,794
was to give us oversight so that

6845
03:38:26,011 --> 03:38:26,261
we didn't have nefarious

6846
03:38:28,177 --> 03:38:28,427
individuals putting equipment

6847
03:38:29,644 --> 03:38:29,894
and and technology out there

6848
03:38:35,511 --> 03:38:35,761
Our operator of an interactive

6849
03:38:37,977 --> 03:38:38,227
gaming license is our next fee

6850
03:38:41,511 --> 03:38:41,761
those wanting to be licensed

6851
03:38:43,511 --> 03:38:43,761
for interactive gaming will pay

6852
03:38:45,711 --> 03:38:45,961
an initial fee of500,000 dollars

6853
03:38:47,511 --> 03:38:47,761
that gets them two years and

6854
03:38:48,244 --> 03:38:48,494
then from there the annual fee

6855
03:38:49,844 --> 03:38:50,094
thereafter is 250,000

6856
03:38:53,744 --> 03:38:53,994
there hasn't been any change

6857
03:38:56,244 --> 03:38:56,494
this change here would occur at

6858
03:38:59,511 --> 03:38:59,761
the commission level the board

6859
03:39:00,111 --> 03:39:00,361
and commission level where they

6860
03:39:01,744 --> 03:39:01,994
would change it as opposed to

6861
03:39:02,344 --> 03:39:02,594
the legislative level

6862
03:39:06,311 --> 03:39:06,561
moving on to our next one

6863
03:39:10,211 --> 03:39:10,461
we have the manufacturers of

6864
03:39:10,877 --> 03:39:11,127
inter gaming

6865
03:39:13,711 --> 03:39:13,961
interactive gaming systems

6866
03:39:15,477 --> 03:39:15,727
license so if you want to

6867
03:39:16,177 --> 03:39:16,427
manufacture one of those systems

6868
03:39:19,711 --> 03:39:19,961
you can also be licensed your

6869
03:39:21,944 --> 03:39:22,194
fee is125,000 thereafter it's

6870
03:39:24,144 --> 03:39:24,394
25,000 and there has been no

6871
03:39:24,711 --> 03:39:24,961
change to that fee.

6872
03:39:26,444 --> 03:39:26,694
since it's been implemented

6873
03:39:31,511 --> 03:39:31,761
another one of our minors is

6874
03:39:33,511 --> 03:39:33,761
the slot route operator this

6875
03:39:34,277 --> 03:39:34,527
authorizes the holder to place

6876
03:39:35,977 --> 03:39:36,227
slot machines in a licensed

6877
03:39:37,611 --> 03:39:37,861
location and share in the

6878
03:39:38,211 --> 03:39:38,461
profits therefrom

6879
03:39:41,744 --> 03:39:41,994
their individuals that

6880
03:39:43,744 --> 03:39:43,994
basically will go around where a

6881
03:39:44,477 --> 03:39:44,727
small business doesn't want to

6882
03:39:45,977 --> 03:39:46,227
have the manpower to do it so

6883
03:39:47,744 --> 03:39:47,994
they take on a slot route

6884
03:39:49,477 --> 03:39:49,727
operator. they come and do all

6885
03:39:50,244 --> 03:39:50,494
of the work and they get in that

6886
03:39:53,744 --> 03:39:53,994
profit sharing and share the

6887
03:39:54,344 --> 03:39:54,594
funds that that come in from

6888
03:39:55,911 --> 03:39:56,161
those devices and

6889
03:39:59,977 --> 03:40:00,227
again it's not a large tax

6890
03:40:01,811 --> 03:40:02,061
dollar that comes in the door

6891
03:40:02,477 --> 03:40:02,727
when we get to those latter

6892
03:40:03,844 --> 03:40:04,094
pages where I break that out for

6893
03:40:04,544 --> 03:40:04,794
you

6894
03:40:07,744 --> 03:40:07,994
then we have an operator of an

6895
03:40:09,977 --> 03:40:10,227
information services license

6896
03:40:12,011 --> 03:40:12,261
and this authorizes a person to

6897
03:40:13,844 --> 03:40:14,094
sell and provide information to

6898
03:40:14,511 --> 03:40:14,761
a licensed sports pool

6899
03:40:17,511 --> 03:40:17,761
this is in essence is the data

6900
03:40:19,477 --> 03:40:19,727
feed so it's basically

6901
03:40:21,477 --> 03:40:21,727
information services just saying

6902
03:40:22,211 --> 03:40:22,461
hey here's what I think the

6903
03:40:25,844 --> 03:40:26,094
lines the odds the point

6904
03:40:27,511 --> 03:40:27,761
spread should be and then the

6905
03:40:29,511 --> 03:40:29,761
lacies actually do the work to

6906
03:40:31,744 --> 03:40:31,994
accept or alter those lines

6907
03:40:32,377 --> 03:40:32,627
when they push it

6908
03:40:35,477 --> 03:40:35,727
through.gain the annual fee

6909
03:40:36,244 --> 03:40:36,494
is6000 dollars there hasn't been

6910
03:40:38,311 --> 03:40:38,561
any change. The idea behind this

6911
03:40:41,477 --> 03:40:41,727
was that while we do have the

6912
03:40:43,544 --> 03:40:43,794
data feed going in it's the

6913
03:40:44,144 --> 03:40:44,394
wager where the taxes are still

6914
03:40:44,811 --> 03:40:45,061
going to be

6915
03:40:46,111 --> 03:40:46,361
paid at the the licensee level

6916
03:40:48,511 --> 03:40:48,761
so again that's why there hasn't

6917
03:40:49,644 --> 03:40:49,894
been a change to that

6918
03:40:53,877 --> 03:40:54,127
interactive gaming service

6919
03:40:54,411 --> 03:40:54,661
provider license

6920
03:40:57,711 --> 03:40:57,961
authorizes the holder to act as

6921
03:40:59,477 --> 03:40:59,727
an interactive gaming service

6922
03:41:00,444 --> 03:41:00,694
provider they help keep that

6923
03:41:03,977 --> 03:41:04,227
platform a service provider is

6924
03:41:05,744 --> 03:41:05,994
not the one who's necessarily

6925
03:41:07,477 --> 03:41:07,727
operating it they'll sort of

6926
03:41:08,077 --> 03:41:08,327
push the payments through the

6927
03:41:09,744 --> 03:41:09,994
cycles just making sure that it

6928
03:41:11,477 --> 03:41:11,727
happens so that the interactive

6929
03:41:12,611 --> 03:41:12,861
gaming operator has a

6930
03:41:13,044 --> 03:41:13,294
functioning properly

6931
03:41:16,077 --> 03:41:16,327
again no fee update to that

6932
03:41:20,477 --> 03:41:20,727
and not a large tax fee

6933
03:41:20,977 --> 03:41:21,227
there

6934
03:41:25,744 --> 03:41:25,994
the other tax collections

6935
03:41:27,477 --> 03:41:27,727
that we have we have the

6936
03:41:28,277 --> 03:41:28,527
nonrestricted restricted annual

6937
03:41:29,777 --> 03:41:30,027
slot tax and we have the

6938
03:41:32,244 --> 03:41:32,494
nonrestricted annual games tax

6939
03:41:34,011 --> 03:41:34,261
both of those are ones that the

6940
03:41:36,211 --> 03:41:36,461
gaming control board administers

6941
03:41:39,477 --> 03:41:39,727
the amount that the annual

6942
03:41:40,111 --> 03:41:40,361
slot tax brought in

6943
03:41:45,477 --> 03:41:45,727
is the ir7.9 million in fiscal

6944
03:41:47,711 --> 03:41:47,961
year 25 and in fiscal year 26 it

6945
03:41:49,977 --> 03:41:50,227
was37.8 milliongain that money

6946
03:41:51,777 --> 03:41:52,027
we just administer it and it

6947
03:41:53,644 --> 03:41:53,894
goes back out to the respective

6948
03:41:54,344 --> 03:41:54,594
parties that you see

6949
03:41:56,144 --> 03:41:56,394
the annual games fee

6950
03:41:59,744 --> 03:41:59,994
we have that the proceeds are

6951
03:42:02,011 --> 03:42:02,261
retained we have a portion that

6952
03:42:04,211 --> 03:42:04,461
we retain it still goes to the

6953
03:42:07,477 --> 03:42:07,727
state we do a calculation

6954
03:42:08,444 --> 03:42:08,694
every year we reconcile with the

6955
03:42:09,977 --> 03:42:10,227
controller's office and it's a

6956
03:42:11,744 --> 03:42:11,994
small portion where the 97,

6957
03:42:13,977 --> 03:42:14,227
and101000 are the portion that

6958
03:42:16,177 --> 03:42:16,427
was retained for the services of

6959
03:42:16,877 --> 03:42:17,127
administering the tax

6960
03:42:19,977 --> 03:42:20,227
and then the rest goes back into

6961
03:42:20,677 --> 03:42:20,927
the general fund

6962
03:42:23,777 --> 03:42:24,027
and it's divided to the county

6963
03:42:26,244 --> 03:42:26,494
so every month our our tax and

6964
03:42:28,011 --> 03:42:28,261
license division will process

6965
03:42:29,477 --> 03:42:29,727
and send money out to our

6966
03:42:30,011 --> 03:42:30,261
counties there's an

6967
03:42:31,744 --> 03:42:31,994
undistributed portion when they

6968
03:42:32,611 --> 03:42:32,861
get to year end they rew it up

6969
03:42:33,277 --> 03:42:33,527
they calculate

6970
03:42:35,977 --> 03:42:36,227
what our portion is for

6971
03:42:37,711 --> 03:42:37,961
administering it. they pushed

6972
03:42:38,377 --> 03:42:38,627
that back and then

6973
03:42:48,044 --> 03:42:48,294
So in looking at our collections

6974
03:42:50,311 --> 03:42:50,561
for the last10 years years there

6975
03:42:52,011 --> 03:42:52,261
you can see what the growth rate

6976
03:42:54,277 --> 03:42:54,527
has been or the decline has

6977
03:42:57,511 --> 03:42:57,761
been on a year over year basis

6978
03:42:58,377 --> 03:42:58,627
that's how those are presented

6979
03:43:05,511 --> 03:43:05,761
then moving on here the majority

6980
03:43:06,244 --> 03:43:06,494
of the collections come from

6981
03:43:09,511 --> 03:43:09,761
Clark County where you see86.7%

6982
03:43:10,211 --> 03:43:10,461
come from the Clark County

6983
03:43:13,777 --> 03:43:14,027
market6.9% comes from the washoe

6984
03:43:16,277 --> 03:43:16,527
county marketgain those are the

6985
03:43:18,277 --> 03:43:18,527
primary total collections being

6986
03:43:20,311 --> 03:43:20,561
that1.2 billion dollar figure

6987
03:43:23,711 --> 03:43:23,961
that you see there in our recent

6988
03:43:24,377 --> 03:43:24,627
fiscal year 26

6989
03:43:27,511 --> 03:43:27,761
moving on let me move back

6990
03:43:29,477 --> 03:43:29,727
here when you see the breakdown

6991
03:43:31,511 --> 03:43:31,761
there you can see the

6992
03:43:32,244 --> 03:43:32,494
percentages the percentage fees

6993
03:43:33,744 --> 03:43:33,994
again was a major live

6994
03:43:35,477 --> 03:43:35,727
entertainment tax was one of our

6995
03:43:37,511 --> 03:43:37,761
majors those two in total their

6996
03:43:41,711 --> 03:43:41,961
makeup that 92.5% again it

6997
03:43:43,511 --> 03:43:43,761
varies when the fees come in

6998
03:43:44,111 --> 03:43:44,361
where that percentage of be but

6999
03:43:45,877 --> 03:43:46,127
it's been over 90% for a long

7000
03:43:46,544 --> 03:43:46,794
time

7001
03:43:50,244 --> 03:43:50,494
our annual taxes range around

7002
03:43:53,811 --> 03:43:54,061
that3.1% our quarterly taxes in

7003
03:43:55,811 --> 03:43:56,061
total about 2% getting us to

7004
03:43:56,777 --> 03:43:57,027
that100% of our collections

7005
03:44:04,244 --> 03:44:04,494
on the back I provided the

7006
03:44:05,511 --> 03:44:05,761
license information because when

7007
03:44:06,177 --> 03:44:06,427
you're looking at if it's a

7008
03:44:08,277 --> 03:44:08,527
nonrestricted or a per device

7009
03:44:10,277 --> 03:44:10,527
type fee it's important to know

7010
03:44:13,977 --> 03:44:14,227
the breakdown we have over 2000

7011
03:44:16,277 --> 03:44:16,527
restricteds this past fiscal

7012
03:44:18,011 --> 03:44:18,261
year we have over465

7013
03:44:20,244 --> 03:44:20,494
nonrestricted locations of that

7014
03:44:23,644 --> 03:44:23,894
about133 or group one the

7015
03:44:24,211 --> 03:44:24,461
remainder are group two

7016
03:44:26,011 --> 03:44:26,261
and again you can see the

7017
03:44:27,744 --> 03:44:27,994
manufacturers distributors so

7018
03:44:29,477 --> 03:44:29,727
those are the groups that fall

7019
03:44:30,211 --> 03:44:30,461
into those categories where you

7020
03:44:32,211 --> 03:44:32,461
see the fees if you wanted to

7021
03:44:33,677 --> 03:44:33,927
to look at how those

7022
03:44:34,111 --> 03:44:34,361
calculations are done

7023
03:44:39,477 --> 03:44:39,727
our next breakdown has the slot

7024
03:44:40,244 --> 03:44:40,494
machines by type so again that

7025
03:44:43,477 --> 03:44:43,727
you can see how many devices

7026
03:44:45,477 --> 03:44:45,727
are coming in on those tax

7027
03:44:47,711 --> 03:44:47,961
returns when those are filed and

7028
03:44:49,777 --> 03:44:50,027
we we follow those again the

7029
03:44:50,377 --> 03:44:50,627
number is climbing in the

7030
03:44:53,777 --> 03:44:54,027
multidenomination category

7031
03:44:55,477 --> 03:44:55,727
simply because you have a

7032
03:44:57,744 --> 03:44:57,994
variety to offer patrons

7033
03:44:59,677 --> 03:44:59,927
that's what our licensees have

7034
03:45:00,377 --> 03:45:00,627
said in our conversations.

7035
03:45:06,011 --> 03:45:06,261
Going on to the next one again

7036
03:45:07,944 --> 03:45:08,194
this is for our restricted

7037
03:45:09,977 --> 03:45:10,227
locations this is the breakdown

7038
03:45:12,244 --> 03:45:12,494
of their devices just wanted

7039
03:45:14,011 --> 03:45:14,261
to have you be able to see the

7040
03:45:15,744 --> 03:45:15,994
totals there again the multi

7041
03:45:18,411 --> 03:45:18,661
denom are the largest groups for

7042
03:45:19,144 --> 03:45:19,394
the restrictedss

7043
03:45:20,277 --> 03:45:20,527
as well

7044
03:45:26,211 --> 03:45:26,461
then we get to the page here

7045
03:45:27,711 --> 03:45:27,961
where we talk about our table

7046
03:45:29,777 --> 03:45:30,027
counter and our card games we

7047
03:45:31,477 --> 03:45:31,727
just have a breakdown there

7048
03:45:32,077 --> 03:45:32,327
because again if you're

7049
03:45:33,977 --> 03:45:34,227
wondering on the games and

7050
03:45:35,744 --> 03:45:35,994
how those fees are paid if it's

7051
03:45:37,944 --> 03:45:38,194
on a by gameme you have the

7052
03:45:40,011 --> 03:45:40,261
totals there to do those

7053
03:45:41,744 --> 03:45:41,994
calculations and you can see

7054
03:45:43,744 --> 03:45:43,994
what's popular out on the floors

7055
03:45:45,644 --> 03:45:45,894
throughout the state of Nevada

7056
03:45:46,311 --> 03:45:46,561
by seeing those numbers

7057
03:45:49,644 --> 03:45:49,894
I I know you're still presenting

7058
03:45:51,844 --> 03:45:52,094
but I I guess

7059
03:45:54,411 --> 03:45:54,661
go ahead and finish I just

7060
03:45:58,244 --> 03:45:58,494
are you sure you don't wanna ask

7061
03:46:00,144 --> 03:46:00,394
it's hurting my soul so

7062
03:46:04,244 --> 03:46:04,494
well'll just I'll just do the

7063
03:46:06,244 --> 03:46:06,494
simple one so on the on the

7064
03:46:09,511 --> 03:46:09,761
nonrestricted slot machines by

7065
03:46:10,111 --> 03:46:10,361
type. I mean

7066
03:46:13,811 --> 03:46:14,061
I knew this was an issue but I

7067
03:46:15,744 --> 03:46:15,994
thought that you know they were

7068
03:46:17,777 --> 03:46:18,027
very limited but there's still a

7069
03:46:19,877 --> 03:46:20,127
lot of slot machines after they

7070
03:46:20,544 --> 03:46:20,794
got rid of the penny.

7071
03:46:23,744 --> 03:46:23,994
that's still a high number,

7072
03:46:25,744 --> 03:46:25,994
right so how how are how is that

7073
03:46:26,511 --> 03:46:26,761
being mitigated now that the

7074
03:46:27,677 --> 03:46:27,927
penny is no longer being minted.

7075
03:46:31,644 --> 03:46:31,894
so in terms of the penny

7076
03:46:32,211 --> 03:46:32,461
cessation

7077
03:46:35,511 --> 03:46:35,761
the devices themselves generally

7078
03:46:36,244 --> 03:46:36,494
at most of our licenses other

7079
03:46:37,977 --> 03:46:38,227
than those who have really old

7080
03:46:38,677 --> 03:46:38,927
devices

7081
03:46:43,977 --> 03:46:44,227
we'll kick out a voucher and so

7082
03:46:46,011 --> 03:46:46,261
in our discussions with our

7083
03:46:47,511 --> 03:46:47,761
licensees to see if the penny

7084
03:46:48,244 --> 03:46:48,494
cessation would present a

7085
03:46:51,511 --> 03:46:51,761
problem to them. Many of them

7086
03:46:53,744 --> 03:46:53,994
stockpiled pennies and have

7087
03:46:55,744 --> 03:46:55,994
pennies for the next 2 to3

7088
03:46:57,744 --> 03:46:57,994
fiscal years because they

7089
03:46:59,511 --> 03:46:59,761
were planning for that so in

7090
03:47:00,144 --> 03:47:00,394
terms of the devices that they

7091
03:47:00,811 --> 03:47:01,061
offer

7092
03:47:04,011 --> 03:47:04,261
they they never had a penny

7093
03:47:05,744 --> 03:47:05,994
machine where you're literally

7094
03:47:07,477 --> 03:47:07,727
dropping pennies and you you'll

7095
03:47:09,477 --> 03:47:09,727
still feed coin if that if I'm

7096
03:47:10,111 --> 03:47:10,361
understanding your question

7097
03:47:12,011 --> 03:47:12,261
correctly is the penny piece is

7098
03:47:15,511 --> 03:47:15,761
not an issue because the voucher

7099
03:47:16,277 --> 03:47:16,527
is typically what's issued from

7100
03:47:18,011 --> 03:47:18,261
the devices they're going to go

7101
03:47:19,777 --> 03:47:20,027
to a redemption machine and get

7102
03:47:22,044 --> 03:47:22,294
paid if it issues a new voucher

7103
03:47:22,677 --> 03:47:22,927
for the change component

7104
03:47:26,277 --> 03:47:26,527
there's you know and again it

7105
03:47:28,044 --> 03:47:28,294
would depend on licenseee

7106
03:47:29,477 --> 03:47:29,727
they'll either have to go to the

7107
03:47:32,011 --> 03:47:32,261
cage or in some cases the

7108
03:47:33,511 --> 03:47:33,761
redemption machine will kick out

7109
03:47:35,511 --> 03:47:35,761
the exact change so there's

7110
03:47:37,744 --> 03:47:37,994
still allowed to do that when we

7111
03:47:38,477 --> 03:47:38,727
gave the industry notice

7112
03:47:41,511 --> 03:47:41,761
allowing them to round up

7113
03:47:42,277 --> 03:47:42,527
some of them are still trying to

7114
03:47:44,277 --> 03:47:44,527
decide what they want to do but

7115
03:47:45,511 --> 03:47:45,761
because they've stockpiled

7116
03:47:47,744 --> 03:47:47,994
pennies they are still paying to

7117
03:47:50,044 --> 03:47:50,294
the cents for those who maybe

7118
03:47:51,511 --> 03:47:51,761
didn't have pennies or don't

7119
03:47:52,277 --> 03:47:52,527
have them on hand at the moment

7120
03:47:53,844 --> 03:47:54,094
they are choosing and have to

7121
03:47:54,511 --> 03:47:54,761
identify

7122
03:47:56,211 --> 03:47:56,461
identify it in their internal

7123
03:47:57,977 --> 03:47:58,227
controls whether they're going

7124
03:47:59,977 --> 03:48:00,227
round up or do the round up

7125
03:48:01,477 --> 03:48:01,727
round down depending on whether

7126
03:48:02,244 --> 03:48:02,494
it's you know the two sons down

7127
03:48:04,211 --> 03:48:04,461
or the three or four cents up

7128
03:48:07,544 --> 03:48:07,794
and so they've been factoring

7129
03:48:08,211 --> 03:48:08,461
that in and if they keep the

7130
03:48:11,711 --> 03:48:11,961
documentation you know again

7131
03:48:13,511 --> 03:48:13,761
they'll get to take the ride off

7132
03:48:14,244 --> 03:48:14,494
but because they've been

7133
03:48:15,811 --> 03:48:16,061
stockpiling pennies right now it

7134
03:48:17,777 --> 03:48:18,027
is not a concern but because the

7135
03:48:19,511 --> 03:48:19,761
devices themselves issue

7136
03:48:20,644 --> 03:48:20,894
vouchers. there hasn't been a

7137
03:48:21,244 --> 03:48:21,494
concern

7138
03:48:24,311 --> 03:48:24,561
I had heard from one of the

7139
03:48:26,511 --> 03:48:26,761
local casinos that they were

7140
03:48:30,044 --> 03:48:30,294
having to like get pennies from

7141
03:48:31,511 --> 03:48:31,761
like so if they're in like

7142
03:48:33,511 --> 03:48:33,761
another state kind of shuffling

7143
03:48:37,511 --> 03:48:37,761
pennies between casinos that

7144
03:48:39,777 --> 03:48:40,027
may not actually be here because

7145
03:48:41,777 --> 03:48:42,027
there was a penny shortage so it

7146
03:48:43,511 --> 03:48:43,761
was almost like do you have any

7147
03:48:44,211 --> 03:48:44,461
pennies on hand? can we have

7148
03:48:44,777 --> 03:48:45,027
some

7149
03:48:47,111 --> 03:48:47,361
so knowing that

7150
03:48:49,711 --> 03:48:49,961
you know again not only

7151
03:48:51,944 --> 03:48:52,194
licensees planned so I'm I'm

7152
03:48:52,577 --> 03:48:52,827
sure that there might be a few

7153
03:48:54,244 --> 03:48:54,494
licensees that haven't maybe

7154
03:48:55,977 --> 03:48:56,227
stockpiled their pennies per se

7155
03:48:57,744 --> 03:48:57,994
but I reached out to a number of

7156
03:48:59,744 --> 03:48:59,994
our licensees but for those who

7157
03:49:01,711 --> 03:49:01,961
didn't that is part of why we

7158
03:49:02,311 --> 03:49:02,561
issued the industry notice that

7159
03:49:04,211 --> 03:49:04,461
said because you may not have it

7160
03:49:05,511 --> 03:49:05,761
because we know that getting

7161
03:49:06,277 --> 03:49:06,527
pennies may be an issue we're

7162
03:49:07,977 --> 03:49:08,227
giving you the opportunity to do

7163
03:49:10,011 --> 03:49:10,261
the round up roundow or the

7164
03:49:10,577 --> 03:49:10,827
round up

7165
03:49:13,511 --> 03:49:13,761
you know to pay your patron you

7166
03:49:14,277 --> 03:49:14,527
have to identify it has to be

7167
03:49:16,011 --> 03:49:16,261
clear to the patron and so they

7168
03:49:18,011 --> 03:49:18,261
have that out so they're not

7169
03:49:19,744 --> 03:49:19,994
required to have to go try to

7170
03:49:21,744 --> 03:49:21,994
chase down the pennies if

7171
03:49:23,744 --> 03:49:23,994
they didn't plan for that but

7172
03:49:24,411 --> 03:49:24,661
again in speaking with many of

7173
03:49:25,511 --> 03:49:25,761
our licensees because I was

7174
03:49:27,511 --> 03:49:27,761
doing an evaluation of that to

7175
03:49:29,511 --> 03:49:29,761
see what the impact would be for

7176
03:49:31,511 --> 03:49:31,761
our fiscal year for the next 2

7177
03:49:32,144 --> 03:49:32,394
to 3 years. I wanted to know if

7178
03:49:33,777 --> 03:49:34,027
it would impact us but many of

7179
03:49:34,411 --> 03:49:34,661
them have come back and said

7180
03:49:36,011 --> 03:49:36,261
we've been stockpiling pennies

7181
03:49:36,711 --> 03:49:36,961
and been able to pay our

7182
03:49:38,577 --> 03:49:38,827
customers and we're making them

7183
03:49:39,244 --> 03:49:39,494
whole so

7184
03:49:43,511 --> 03:49:43,761
and and just one final comment

7185
03:49:44,244 --> 03:49:44,494
and then we'll just close this

7186
03:49:45,744 --> 03:49:45,994
out because I know everybody's

7187
03:49:46,577 --> 03:49:46,827
hungry it's like somes it's it's

7188
03:49:52,244 --> 03:49:52,494
some of the statutes haven't

7189
03:49:55,511 --> 03:49:55,761
been changed in like43 years or

7190
03:49:58,011 --> 03:49:58,261
is it45 I mean but43 as a

7191
03:50:00,311 --> 03:50:00,561
minimum 40 years they haven't

7192
03:50:01,011 --> 03:50:01,261
been touched.

7193
03:50:05,711 --> 03:50:05,961
and again the gaming control

7194
03:50:07,477 --> 03:50:07,727
board only administers what

7195
03:50:09,944 --> 03:50:10,194
comes through legislation so

7196
03:50:12,011 --> 03:50:12,261
I'm sure as the casinos you know

7197
03:50:13,744 --> 03:50:13,994
go through thinking where do we

7198
03:50:15,511 --> 03:50:15,761
want to stand on that they play

7199
03:50:16,277 --> 03:50:16,527
a part in that you know with the

7200
03:50:17,977 --> 03:50:18,227
lobbyists or any of the interest

7201
03:50:19,511 --> 03:50:19,761
groups at the end of the day

7202
03:50:20,177 --> 03:50:20,427
we're just going to administer

7203
03:50:20,844 --> 03:50:21,094
what

7204
03:50:22,677 --> 03:50:22,927
what is changed

7205
03:50:27,977 --> 03:50:28,227
and and that's where we you know

7206
03:50:29,711 --> 03:50:29,961
we don't pick a policy saying

7207
03:50:30,344 --> 03:50:30,594
hey change this order hey change

7208
03:50:31,744 --> 03:50:31,994
that one this will make it

7209
03:50:33,511 --> 03:50:33,761
better, this will make it worse.

7210
03:50:34,244 --> 03:50:34,494
we're just gonna administer

7211
03:50:36,111 --> 03:50:36,361
the tax that that gets

7212
03:50:36,577 --> 03:50:36,827
implemented in law

7213
03:50:43,611 --> 03:50:43,861
I think you had one

7214
03:50:46,411 --> 03:50:46,661
or you were done

7215
03:50:51,477 --> 03:50:51,727
Yeah, so in in our slide

7216
03:50:52,211 --> 03:50:52,461
count you know I wanted you to

7217
03:50:53,944 --> 03:50:54,194
see or to be able to see that

7218
03:50:55,711 --> 03:50:55,961
the devices went down. I know

7219
03:50:56,311 --> 03:50:56,561
there's been some questions

7220
03:50:59,477 --> 03:50:59,727
that I've had with uhlCB as well

7221
03:51:01,711 --> 03:51:01,961
as the governor's officeice

7222
03:51:03,744 --> 03:51:03,994
of finance about device count

7223
03:51:05,511 --> 03:51:05,761
and you know where do we stand

7224
03:51:07,711 --> 03:51:07,961
and you could see for before

7225
03:51:09,711 --> 03:51:09,961
COVID the device count was up

7226
03:51:11,744 --> 03:51:11,994
for the slots and the same is

7227
03:51:13,477 --> 03:51:13,727
true on the tables when we go to

7228
03:51:14,444 --> 03:51:14,694
the next slide but in looking

7229
03:51:16,344 --> 03:51:16,594
at our collections you're still

7230
03:51:17,011 --> 03:51:17,261
gonna see that

7231
03:51:20,177 --> 03:51:20,427
even though device count is

7232
03:51:22,211 --> 03:51:22,461
going down they've been able

7233
03:51:25,511 --> 03:51:25,761
to focus on whether it be

7234
03:51:29,477 --> 03:51:29,727
promotions whether it be

7235
03:51:30,211 --> 03:51:30,461
what they're offering for their

7236
03:51:31,944 --> 03:51:32,194
rooms or their meals or

7237
03:51:32,411 --> 03:51:32,661
whatever's going to draw

7238
03:51:33,711 --> 03:51:33,961
somebody in because again

7239
03:51:35,477 --> 03:51:35,727
tourism the macroeconomics

7240
03:51:36,177 --> 03:51:36,427
everything is playing a part

7241
03:51:39,477 --> 03:51:39,727
when COID when we came back out

7242
03:51:41,711 --> 03:51:41,961
ofOVID our licensees didn't

7243
03:51:43,877 --> 03:51:44,127
necessarily have employees

7244
03:51:44,444 --> 03:51:44,694
come back to work

7245
03:51:47,677 --> 03:51:47,927
and in order you know to have

7246
03:51:49,711 --> 03:51:49,961
more devices and have more games

7247
03:51:51,511 --> 03:51:51,761
you need the employees that are

7248
03:51:53,977 --> 03:51:54,227
gonna support those extras

7249
03:51:55,777 --> 03:51:56,027
that you have and they they

7250
03:51:57,511 --> 03:51:57,761
didn't come back but then you

7251
03:51:58,211 --> 03:51:58,461
also look at we had the social

7252
03:52:01,711 --> 03:52:01,961
distancing requirements we

7253
03:52:02,477 --> 03:52:02,727
have more innovative games if

7254
03:52:03,744 --> 03:52:03,994
you look at some of the slot

7255
03:52:04,311 --> 03:52:04,561
machines they're bigger than

7256
03:52:06,211 --> 03:52:06,461
ever they take up more space but

7257
03:52:07,977 --> 03:52:08,227
they offer more games so that's

7258
03:52:09,711 --> 03:52:09,961
why you see sort of the the

7259
03:52:11,477 --> 03:52:11,727
trend of moving to the multi

7260
03:52:13,877 --> 03:52:14,127
denom games because they want

7261
03:52:14,544 --> 03:52:14,794
variety and it

7262
03:52:16,177 --> 03:52:16,427
frees up that space so that you

7263
03:52:17,944 --> 03:52:18,194
still don't cause that concern

7264
03:52:18,611 --> 03:52:18,861
that some people have related to

7265
03:52:19,311 --> 03:52:19,561
the health issue

7266
03:52:23,711 --> 03:52:23,961
and then our licensees have said

7267
03:52:25,711 --> 03:52:25,961
because if they don't bring all

7268
03:52:27,477 --> 03:52:27,727
the games back whether it be the

7269
03:52:29,477 --> 03:52:29,727
devices or the table games

7270
03:52:30,244 --> 03:52:30,494
they're focusing on the quality

7271
03:52:32,011 --> 03:52:32,261
of the clients the quality of

7272
03:52:35,744 --> 03:52:35,994
the customers trying to cater

7273
03:52:38,011 --> 03:52:38,261
because in the end it also saves

7274
03:52:39,744 --> 03:52:39,994
them money from a monetary

7275
03:52:40,377 --> 03:52:40,627
standpoint based on my

7276
03:52:40,877 --> 03:52:41,127
discussions with our licensees

7277
03:52:41,511 --> 03:52:41,761
so

7278
03:52:43,977 --> 03:52:44,227
I think in seeing what our

7279
03:52:44,511 --> 03:52:44,761
licensees have done across the

7280
03:52:45,177 --> 03:52:45,427
state

7281
03:52:48,177 --> 03:52:48,427
you know in the events the

7282
03:52:50,177 --> 03:52:50,427
efforts from our Las Vegas

7283
03:52:52,244 --> 03:52:52,494
conventionenter Authority and up

7284
03:52:53,777 --> 03:52:54,027
in Reno where they're focusing

7285
03:52:56,011 --> 03:52:56,261
on you know trying to to bring

7286
03:52:56,711 --> 03:52:56,961
the events that will draw the

7287
03:52:58,277 --> 03:52:58,527
people in all of those things

7288
03:52:59,977 --> 03:53:00,227
help they'll drive the room

7289
03:53:02,211 --> 03:53:02,461
revenue they'll drive the food

7290
03:53:04,277 --> 03:53:04,527
and some of those it may not

7291
03:53:06,044 --> 03:53:06,294
drive necessarily the gaming but

7292
03:53:07,877 --> 03:53:08,127
our licensees have done well

7293
03:53:08,544 --> 03:53:08,794
with

7294
03:53:11,711 --> 03:53:11,961
you know what they have

7295
03:53:13,511 --> 03:53:13,761
because again the employee count

7296
03:53:15,744 --> 03:53:15,994
has gone down so you'll see in

7297
03:53:17,711 --> 03:53:17,961
the abstract report that I

7298
03:53:19,511 --> 03:53:19,761
referenced as one of the

7299
03:53:20,211 --> 03:53:20,461
resources for you and it comes

7300
03:53:22,177 --> 03:53:22,427
in the legislative report that

7301
03:53:23,744 --> 03:53:23,994
we submit at the beginning of

7302
03:53:24,444 --> 03:53:24,694
the year before the session

7303
03:53:25,011 --> 03:53:25,261
starts

7304
03:53:27,711 --> 03:53:27,961
we referenced a number of

7305
03:53:29,711 --> 03:53:29,961
employees you'll see their net

7306
03:53:30,411 --> 03:53:30,661
income you'll see their gaming

7307
03:53:31,744 --> 03:53:31,994
income you'll see all of their

7308
03:53:34,244 --> 03:53:34,494
taxes the payroll you'll see the

7309
03:53:36,244 --> 03:53:36,494
health of the industry and where

7310
03:53:39,744 --> 03:53:39,994
they're at and so you know

7311
03:53:41,477 --> 03:53:41,727
all of those things taken into

7312
03:53:42,411 --> 03:53:42,661
account but overall the

7313
03:53:43,677 --> 03:53:43,927
collections have still gone up

7314
03:53:47,744 --> 03:53:47,994
I think that says about a lot

7315
03:53:48,411 --> 03:53:48,661
about the licensees and working

7316
03:53:49,977 --> 03:53:50,227
with what they have and focusing

7317
03:53:51,711 --> 03:53:51,961
on the quality of the the

7318
03:53:53,511 --> 03:53:53,761
customer and the clients that

7319
03:53:54,211 --> 03:53:54,461
come through despite the

7320
03:53:55,644 --> 03:53:55,894
macroeconomic situations

7321
03:54:13,944 --> 03:54:14,194
I don't think members want to

7322
03:54:16,377 --> 03:54:16,627
ask any questions do you? No. so

7323
03:54:18,211 --> 03:54:18,461
thank you for your

7324
03:54:20,177 --> 03:54:20,427
presentation. I'm sure I have

7325
03:54:21,877 --> 03:54:22,127
lots of questions offline

7326
03:54:26,177 --> 03:54:26,427
but this was a really good

7327
03:54:27,977 --> 03:54:28,227
presentation if if we don't have

7328
03:54:29,744 --> 03:54:29,994

7329
03:54:31,944 --> 03:54:32,194

7330
03:54:34,211 --> 03:54:34,461

7334
03:54:41,744 --> 03:54:41,994

7335
03:54:42,377 --> 03:54:42,627

slides

first say for the record

7405
04:27:22,244 --> 04:27:22,494
Kevin Schiller county manager

7406
04:27:25,477 --> 04:27:25,727
and also it was nice sitting in

7407
04:27:27,511 --> 04:27:27,761
the audience today listening to

7408
04:27:28,244 --> 04:27:28,494
the conversation because I think

7409
04:27:30,011 --> 04:27:30,261
some of the challenges you guys

7410
04:27:31,511 --> 04:27:31,761
are all referencing our

7411
04:27:32,211 --> 04:27:32,461
challenges we're trying to kind

7412
04:27:32,877 --> 04:27:33,127
of work through

7413
04:27:37,477 --> 04:27:37,727
so we'll hit that and then s

7414
04:27:38,244 --> 04:27:38,494
strictly speaking to the

7415
04:27:40,477 --> 04:27:40,727
presentation just as a way of

7416
04:27:43,811 --> 04:27:44,061
kind of historical perspective

7417
04:27:47,511 --> 04:27:47,761
in 2019 the legislature

7418
04:27:51,511 --> 04:27:51,761
passed AB309 that enabled the

7419
04:27:53,777 --> 04:27:54,027
board to move forward with the

7420
04:27:54,377 --> 04:27:54,627
increase on the sales and use

7421
04:27:57,744 --> 04:27:57,994
tax and they did that by one

7422
04:27:59,944 --> 04:28:00,194
quarter of cent for certain

7423
04:28:00,477 --> 04:28:00,727
programs

7424
04:28:03,511 --> 04:28:03,761
they adopted that first

7425
04:28:05,711 --> 04:28:05,961
ordinance in August it was

7426
04:28:07,744 --> 04:28:07,994
effective in January of 2020 and

7427
04:28:10,011 --> 04:28:10,261
then they imposed a sunset in

7428
04:28:13,744 --> 04:28:13,994
June30th of 2021 in April of

7429
04:28:15,777 --> 04:28:16,027
21 the board removed that sunset

7430
04:28:18,044 --> 04:28:18,294
and making it permanent. it

7431
04:28:19,777 --> 04:28:20,027
was very specific to certain

7432
04:28:21,744 --> 04:28:21,994
categories so those

7433
04:28:23,511 --> 04:28:23,761
categories included homelessness

7434
04:28:24,477 --> 04:28:24,727
workforce initiatives truancy

7435
04:28:25,877 --> 04:28:26,127
and then prek education

7436
04:28:30,177 --> 04:28:30,427
for Fy26 this totaled

7437
04:28:34,177 --> 04:28:34,427
about80,859 $1000 and then some

7438
04:28:36,211 --> 04:28:36,461
other miscellaneous revenues at

7439
04:28:36,877 --> 04:28:37,127
about48,000

7440
04:28:39,711 --> 04:28:39,961
we will be finalizing that

7441
04:28:41,977 --> 04:28:42,227
report later this year once

7442
04:28:44,077 --> 04:28:44,327
all the sea tax revenues are

7443
04:28:44,644 --> 04:28:44,894
reconciled

7444
04:28:48,044 --> 04:28:48,294
a little bit about this

7445
04:28:50,444 --> 04:28:50,694
though in terms of AB309

7446
04:28:50,977 --> 04:28:51,227
first

7447
04:28:54,277 --> 04:28:54,527
credit and thanks to the

7448
04:28:56,244 --> 04:28:56,494
legislature for creating this

7449
04:28:58,277 --> 04:28:58,527
enabling language cause I don't

7450
04:28:59,511 --> 04:28:59,761
think you guys had a crystal

7451
04:29:01,744 --> 04:29:01,994
ball for what was coming but

7452
04:29:03,877 --> 04:29:04,127
when that was passed and we

7453
04:29:04,444 --> 04:29:04,694
moved forward

7454
04:29:06,244 --> 04:29:06,494
and you'll hear me reference

7455
04:29:08,244 --> 04:29:08,494
this a couple times when we deal

7456
04:29:10,011 --> 04:29:10,261
with social services where we

7457
04:29:12,011 --> 04:29:12,261
deal with human services funding

7458
04:29:14,011 --> 04:29:14,261
I'm preaching to the choir on

7459
04:29:17,511 --> 04:29:17,761
the federal funding mechanisms

7460
04:29:19,777 --> 04:29:20,027
we use and what that comes with

7461
04:29:22,044 --> 04:29:22,294
as as we're experiencing now

7462
04:29:24,044 --> 04:29:24,294
we're anticipating rule changes

7463
04:29:26,077 --> 04:29:26,327
we're constantly reporting on

7464
04:29:27,777 --> 04:29:28,027
that and when you come to

7465
04:29:28,311 --> 04:29:28,561
programmatic setup and you come

7466
04:29:31,744 --> 04:29:31,994
into emergencies it might

7467
04:29:33,511 --> 04:29:33,761
becomes much harder with the

7468
04:29:34,177 --> 04:29:34,427
federal funding but on

7469
04:29:35,677 --> 04:29:35,927
this slide that you're looking

7470
04:29:36,377 --> 04:29:36,627
at

7471
04:29:39,477 --> 04:29:39,727
what I really was trying to show

7472
04:29:40,244 --> 04:29:40,494
and that's why I kind of talked

7473
04:29:42,011 --> 04:29:42,261
about 2019 and why you might

7474
04:29:43,777 --> 04:29:44,027
have had a crystal ball or you

7475
04:29:46,011 --> 04:29:46,261
might not have but it was life

7476
04:29:49,511 --> 04:29:49,761
saving as we entered into covid

7477
04:29:52,044 --> 04:29:52,294
if you will recall we had

7478
04:29:53,777 --> 04:29:54,027
theARS Act which was the initial

7479
04:29:56,011 --> 04:29:56,261
tranche of federal funding and

7480
04:29:57,777 --> 04:29:58,027
then if you remember there was a

7481
04:29:58,611 --> 04:29:58,861
gap between cares andarpa

7482
04:30:02,511 --> 04:30:02,761
we set up a lot of emergency

7483
04:30:05,511 --> 04:30:05,761
programs and cares this AB309

7484
04:30:07,511 --> 04:30:07,761
funding actually served a very

7485
04:30:09,477 --> 04:30:09,727
vital purpose when we were

7486
04:30:10,311 --> 04:30:10,561
funding that gap and then when

7487
04:30:11,744 --> 04:30:11,994
you look at kind of the overall

7488
04:30:14,511 --> 04:30:14,761
expenditures going from 20 to 26

7489
04:30:16,277 --> 04:30:16,527
what you'll see is with the

7490
04:30:19,744 --> 04:30:19,994
infusion of that ArRA funding

7491
04:30:21,511 --> 04:30:21,761
our revenues actually went up

7492
04:30:23,511 --> 04:30:23,761
which is your blue bar and then

7493
04:30:24,177 --> 04:30:24,427
you can kind of see what's

7494
04:30:27,511 --> 04:30:27,761
happened in 24,25 and 26 we're

7495
04:30:28,211 --> 04:30:28,461
getting to the point now where

7496
04:30:29,677 --> 04:30:29,927
we're actually expending more

7497
04:30:30,344 --> 04:30:30,594
than we're bringing

7498
04:30:32,244 --> 04:30:32,494
in in relationship to the

7499
04:30:33,644 --> 04:30:33,894
programs that you're going to

7500
04:30:34,311 --> 04:30:34,561
hear about here shortly

7501
04:30:37,977 --> 04:30:38,227
these programs we kind of

7502
04:30:40,011 --> 04:30:40,261
made a commitment when we first

7503
04:30:41,777 --> 04:30:42,027
entered into this space and also

7504
04:30:42,511 --> 04:30:42,761
with our federal funding that we

7505
04:30:43,777 --> 04:30:44,027
really didn't want to create

7506
04:30:44,411 --> 04:30:44,661
things that we couldn't sustain

7507
04:30:47,744 --> 04:30:47,994
I think you're going to see

7508
04:30:49,477 --> 04:30:49,727
that we've had quite a few

7509
04:30:51,511 --> 04:30:51,761
successes around the use of

7510
04:30:54,011 --> 04:30:54,261
those funds from either a

7511
04:30:55,744 --> 04:30:55,994
divergent component or to a

7512
04:30:56,344 --> 04:30:56,594
direct service component

7513
04:30:59,477 --> 04:30:59,727
but I do want to talk about the

7514
04:31:01,744 --> 04:31:01,994
fact that moving forward as we

7515
04:31:03,777 --> 04:31:04,027
watch the economics as we watch

7516
04:31:05,511 --> 04:31:05,761
what's happening in terms of

7517
04:31:07,777 --> 04:31:08,027
things and changes this

7518
04:31:09,777 --> 04:31:10,027
funding remains critical to

7519
04:31:11,711 --> 04:31:11,961
serving human beings I think

7520
04:31:12,311 --> 04:31:12,561
those of you that know me this

7521
04:31:16,011 --> 04:31:16,261
is a passion for me we are

7522
04:31:17,511 --> 04:31:17,761
very invested in this we

7523
04:31:18,311 --> 04:31:18,561
recognize the county's

7524
04:31:21,511 --> 04:31:21,761
responsibility in serving our

7525
04:31:22,144 --> 04:31:22,394
most vulnerable adults and youth

7526
04:31:25,744 --> 04:31:25,994
and this has just been a

7527
04:31:27,744 --> 04:31:27,994
critical mechanism for all of us

7528
04:31:29,477 --> 04:31:29,727
we'll get into some of the

7529
04:31:30,277 --> 04:31:30,527
programs I'm gonna hand it over

7530
04:31:32,044 --> 04:31:32,294
to Jamie Sorenson our social

7531
04:31:33,777 --> 04:31:34,027
services director and I'm gonna

7532
04:31:37,511 --> 04:31:37,761
have him walk through the

7533
04:31:39,777 --> 04:31:40,027
category and the differentiating

7534
04:31:41,477 --> 04:31:41,727
programs and then we certainly

7535
04:31:42,111 --> 04:31:42,361
will be answering questions as

7536
04:31:42,811 --> 04:31:43,061
we move forward so I'll hand it

7537
04:31:43,477 --> 04:31:43,727
over to you Jamie.

7538
04:31:49,511 --> 04:31:49,761
good afternoon chairirneal and

7539
04:31:51,511 --> 04:31:51,761
committee membersjamie Sorenson

7540
04:31:53,511 --> 04:31:53,761
and I'm gonna talk a little

7541
04:31:55,477 --> 04:31:55,727
bit about some of the

7542
04:31:57,744 --> 04:31:57,994
programs and services funded by

7543
04:32:00,277 --> 04:32:00,527
AB309 and I'll start with

7544
04:32:05,511 --> 04:32:05,761
slide number4 looking at

7545
04:32:06,277 --> 04:32:06,527
emergency shelter and bridge

7546
04:32:10,011 --> 04:32:10,261
housing we talk about our

7547
04:32:11,544 --> 04:32:11,794
homelessness services generally

7548
04:32:13,744 --> 04:32:13,994
in a staircase model it begins

7549
04:32:15,711 --> 04:32:15,961
with outreach for those who are

7550
04:32:18,244 --> 04:32:18,494
experiencing unsheltered

7551
04:32:20,011 --> 04:32:20,261
homelessness all the way up to

7552
04:32:22,044 --> 04:32:22,294
renting an apartment and

7553
04:32:24,011 --> 04:32:24,261
owning a home and so people can

7554
04:32:25,744 --> 04:32:25,994
enter at anywhere in that

7555
04:32:27,511 --> 04:32:27,761
staircase model of housing

7556
04:32:30,011 --> 04:32:30,261
services we know that from

7557
04:32:31,777 --> 04:32:32,027
the last pick count

7558
04:32:34,011 --> 04:32:34,261
January2nin,2026 that there

7559
04:32:36,311 --> 04:32:36,561
were43% of the people

7560
04:32:38,377 --> 04:32:38,627
experiencing homelessness in

7561
04:32:39,044 --> 04:32:39,294
sheltered homelessness.

7562
04:32:42,044 --> 04:32:42,294
and we believe that that's

7563
04:32:43,744 --> 04:32:43,994
because of clark County's

7564
04:32:46,244 --> 04:32:46,494
investment in shelter beds in

7565
04:32:47,977 --> 04:32:48,227
the community we have

7566
04:32:50,244 --> 04:32:50,494
noncongregate shelters we have 9

7567
04:32:51,977 --> 04:32:52,227
of those we also have a

7568
04:32:54,344 --> 04:32:54,594
navigation center in total

7569
04:32:56,011 --> 04:32:56,261
with the navigation center and

7570
04:32:58,044 --> 04:32:58,294
the noncongregate shelters we've

7571
04:33:03,977 --> 04:33:04,227
got1729 beds and in Fy26 the

7572
04:33:04,611 --> 04:33:04,861

people.

7575
04:33:11,977 --> 04:33:12,227
also we have congregate shelters

7576
04:33:14,211 --> 04:33:14,461
we have uh5 of those3 of those

7577
04:33:20,011 --> 04:33:20,261
are funded by AB309 and in Fy

7578
04:33:24,011 --> 04:33:24,261
27 for those noncongregate

7579
04:33:27,477 --> 04:33:27,727
shelters we have beds daily

7580
04:33:28,311 --> 04:33:28,561
for657 individuals

7581
04:33:31,977 --> 04:33:32,227
combined in the community

7582
04:33:33,811 --> 04:33:34,061
with all the different levels of

7583
04:33:36,111 --> 04:33:36,361
beds that we have for people we

7584
04:33:36,777 --> 04:33:37,027
have over 9000

7585
04:33:39,744 --> 04:33:39,994
and that includes navigation and

7586
04:33:42,011 --> 04:33:42,261
emergency shelters permanent

7587
04:33:44,244 --> 04:33:44,494
supportive housing other

7588
04:33:45,644 --> 04:33:45,894
permanent housing and rapid re

7589
04:33:54,044 --> 04:33:54,294
In terms of the percentages

7590
04:33:55,777 --> 04:33:56,027
of different types of beds that

7591
04:33:56,511 --> 04:33:56,761
we have available in the

7592
04:33:59,511 --> 04:33:59,761
community about39% of our beds

7593
04:34:01,777 --> 04:34:02,027
are emergency shelter

7594
04:34:03,511 --> 04:34:03,761
permanent support of housing

7595
04:34:05,511 --> 04:34:05,761
represents 22% of the bed's

7596
04:34:07,811 --> 04:34:08,061
rapid rehousing 20% other

7597
04:34:09,777 --> 04:34:10,027
permanent housing11% in

04:34:10,211 --> 04:34:10,461
transitional housing7%.

7599
04:34:14,277 --> 04:34:14,527
and the p pick count this

7600
04:34:18,044 --> 04:34:18,294
year we did see a12% increase in

7601
04:34:19,777 --> 04:34:20,027
people experiencing homelessness

7602
04:34:23,477 --> 04:34:23,727
again as I mentioned uh43% of

7603
04:34:24,511 --> 04:34:24,761
those people were in shelter

7604
04:34:25,977 --> 04:34:26,227
homelessness we saw the

7605
04:34:28,011 --> 04:34:28,261
highest proportion of

7606
04:34:29,977 --> 04:34:30,227
individuals between the ages of

7607
04:34:32,244 --> 04:34:32,494
ir5 and44 as the population

7608
04:34:34,211 --> 04:34:34,461
experiencing homelessness and

7609
04:34:36,544 --> 04:34:36,794
they they represent 26% in

7610
04:34:37,144 --> 04:34:37,394
terms of that age group

7611
04:34:45,944 --> 04:34:46,194
we also in terms of

7612
04:34:49,511 --> 04:34:49,761
trying to use data to understand

7613
04:34:50,177 --> 04:34:50,427
what's happening in the

7614
04:34:51,744 --> 04:34:51,994
community and the impact of the

7615
04:34:53,677 --> 04:34:53,927
services we're offering in

7616
04:34:54,211 --> 04:34:54,461
addition to pick count

7617
04:34:57,677 --> 04:34:57,927
we usehMIs data and we use

7618
04:34:59,511 --> 04:34:59,761
outreach data and so we can see

7619
04:35:02,211 --> 04:35:02,461
in our HMIS data that our

7620
04:35:05,777 --> 04:35:06,027
system capacity in beds has

7621
04:35:07,477 --> 04:35:07,727
really expanded substantially

7622
04:35:09,977 --> 04:35:10,227
since 2016 we went from5,000

7623
04:35:13,744 --> 04:35:13,994
beds in 2016 to over 90 in 2020

7624
04:35:14,411 --> 04:35:14,661
um6

7625
04:35:18,011 --> 04:35:18,261
we've also seen households

7626
04:35:19,977 --> 04:35:20,227
served grow substantially since

7627
04:35:23,777 --> 04:35:24,027
2018 we've seen an82% increase

7628
04:35:24,444 --> 04:35:24,694
in the number of households we

7629
04:35:27,744 --> 04:35:27,994
serve. we went from serving8,841

7630
04:35:31,744 --> 04:35:31,994
to in 2025 serving16,101

7631
04:35:33,511 --> 04:35:33,761
households indicating broader

7632
04:35:35,477 --> 04:35:35,727
system reach and identification

7633
04:35:36,177 --> 04:35:36,427
of need for people in the

7634
04:35:36,744 --> 04:35:36,994
community

7635
04:35:38,011 --> 04:35:38,261
averageverage length of

7636
04:35:39,977 --> 04:35:40,227
homelessness has improved

7637
04:35:41,977 --> 04:35:42,227
meaningfully from176 days in

7638
04:35:45,744 --> 04:35:45,994
2020 to105 days in 2024

7639
04:35:46,244 --> 04:35:46,494
suggesting faster movement

7640
04:35:48,277 --> 04:35:48,527
through the system once

7641
04:35:51,511 --> 04:35:51,761
enrolled in our services also we

7642
04:35:53,777 --> 04:35:54,027
saw the return rate remaining

7643
04:35:55,511 --> 04:35:55,761
very low the return rate to

7644
04:35:57,744 --> 04:35:57,994
homelessness roughly about11%

7645
04:35:58,377 --> 04:35:58,627
and that's been holding steady

7646
04:35:59,044 --> 04:35:59,294
year over year.

7647
04:36:02,544 --> 04:36:02,794
exits to permanent housing

7648
04:36:04,044 --> 04:36:04,294
have fallen and that is a a

7649
04:36:06,011 --> 04:36:06,261
really big area of focus to us

7650
04:36:07,777 --> 04:36:08,027
creating an exit pathways for

7651
04:36:08,477 --> 04:36:08,727
people once they do enter our

7652
04:36:09,144 --> 04:36:09,394
system.

7653
04:36:13,744 --> 04:36:13,994
as we look at the programs

7654
04:36:15,744 --> 04:36:15,994
funded by AB309 I also just want

7655
04:36:16,444 --> 04:36:16,694
to note that we have really

7656
04:36:18,011 --> 04:36:18,261
tried to create a broad

7657
04:36:19,977 --> 04:36:20,227
continuum of services connected

7658
04:36:21,477 --> 04:36:21,727
services that people can

7659
04:36:23,477 --> 04:36:23,727
navigate through our

7660
04:36:24,444 --> 04:36:24,694
portfolio of resources at Clark

7661
04:36:26,244 --> 04:36:26,494
County Socialervices so I just

7662
04:36:28,244 --> 04:36:28,494
want to also highlight a

7663
04:36:31,511 --> 04:36:31,761
service that's outside of AB301

7664
04:36:33,777 --> 04:36:34,027
AB309 and that's our the

7665
04:36:34,311 --> 04:36:34,561
eviction diversion program in

7666
04:36:34,977 --> 04:36:35,227
the community.

7667
04:36:37,977 --> 04:36:38,227
and we think getting upstream

7668
04:36:39,977 --> 04:36:40,227
and prevention is very important

7669
04:36:41,511 --> 04:36:41,761
and we know that this program

7670
04:36:43,477 --> 04:36:43,727
has had an impact from fiscal

7671
04:36:46,044 --> 04:36:46,294
year 2023 to fiscal year 2024 we

7672
04:36:48,011 --> 04:36:48,261
saw a 10 cent decrease in

7673
04:36:51,744 --> 04:36:51,994
evictions and from 24 to 25 we

7674
04:36:54,244 --> 04:36:54,494
saw a5% decrease and so keeping

7675
04:36:56,011 --> 04:36:56,261
people in their homes and

7676
04:36:56,711 --> 04:36:56,961
communities in the first place

7677
04:36:57,377 --> 04:36:57,627
is a very important strategy.

7678
04:37:00,811 --> 04:37:01,061
going on to slide five

7679
04:37:07,511 --> 04:37:07,761
we have a transitional and rapid

7680
04:37:08,177 --> 04:37:08,427
rehousing in the community

7681
04:37:11,711 --> 04:37:11,961
transitional housing is

7682
04:37:13,744 --> 04:37:13,994
housing and supportive services

7683
04:37:15,711 --> 04:37:15,961
for people for up to 24 months

7684
04:37:17,777 --> 04:37:18,027
is to move people to permanent

7685
04:37:20,011 --> 04:37:20,261
housing and it is focused on

7686
04:37:21,777 --> 04:37:22,027
treatment services and also

7687
04:37:24,277 --> 04:37:24,527
readiness for housing and we

7688
04:37:25,977 --> 04:37:26,227
have 25 projects in the

7689
04:37:28,244 --> 04:37:28,494
community with a total of728

7690
04:37:30,244 --> 04:37:30,494
beds those are not all funded

7691
04:37:32,277 --> 04:37:32,527
by AB309 with a lot of our

7692
04:37:33,677 --> 04:37:33,927
programs we use braided funding

7693
04:37:37,477 --> 04:37:37,727
we also have rapid rehousing

7694
04:37:38,444 --> 04:37:38,694
which is a more expeditious

7695
04:37:39,944 --> 04:37:40,194
movement toward permanent

7696
04:37:42,144 --> 04:37:42,394
housing it's a shorter term

7697
04:37:44,211 --> 04:37:44,461
program that provides short term

7698
04:37:45,711 --> 04:37:45,961
rental assistance and case

7699
04:37:47,711 --> 04:37:47,961
management services in the

7700
04:37:49,711 --> 04:37:49,961
community we have40

7701
04:37:51,744 --> 04:37:51,994
projects1,872 beds and again not

7702
04:37:52,477 --> 04:37:52,727
all funded by AB309.

7703
04:37:55,711 --> 04:37:55,961
and then permanent support of

7704
04:37:57,477 --> 04:37:57,727
housing is a term that you hear

7705
04:37:59,477 --> 04:37:59,727
a lot in our work and it

7706
04:38:00,411 --> 04:38:00,661
combines affordable rental

7707
04:38:02,177 --> 04:38:02,427
housing with volunteering and

7708
04:38:04,177 --> 04:38:04,427
flexible support services

7709
04:38:05,711 --> 04:38:05,961
typically for individuals and

7710
04:38:07,477 --> 04:38:07,727
families facing chronic

7711
04:38:09,944 --> 04:38:10,194
homelessness or really high

7712
04:38:11,811 --> 04:38:12,061
acuity in terms of behaviors and

7713
04:38:12,477 --> 04:38:12,727
barriers

7714
04:38:17,711 --> 04:38:17,961
carere teams are really

7715
04:38:19,744 --> 04:38:19,994
important component of our

7716
04:38:21,511 --> 04:38:21,761
service continuum they provide

7717
04:38:23,511 --> 04:38:23,761
coordinated outreach and case

7718
04:38:25,511 --> 04:38:25,761
management they can also at

7719
04:38:27,777 --> 04:38:28,027
times include law enforcement

7720
04:38:28,377 --> 04:38:28,627
behavioral health and crisis

7721
04:38:31,511 --> 04:38:31,761
stabilization specialists

7722
04:38:32,477 --> 04:38:32,727
it's a very personcented style

7723
04:38:34,211 --> 04:38:34,461
of outreach and case management

7724
04:38:37,744 --> 04:38:37,994
and it was a 9.7 million

7725
04:38:41,511 --> 04:38:41,761
investment it is a 9.79.7

7726
04:38:43,877 --> 04:38:44,127
million investment in Fy27.

7727
04:38:44,444 --> 04:38:44,694
we served se

7728
04:38:48,211 --> 04:38:48,461
900 individuals in Fy26. we

7729
04:38:50,211 --> 04:38:50,461
currently have6 Clark County

7730
04:38:52,244 --> 04:38:52,494
care teams and they all have a

7731
04:38:54,244 --> 04:38:54,494
little bit of a different focus

7732
04:38:56,011 --> 04:38:56,261
in terms of the target

7733
04:38:57,777 --> 04:38:58,027
population they serve and the

7734
04:38:59,777 --> 04:39:00,027
goals that they're trying to

7735
04:39:00,377 --> 04:39:00,627
reach and outcomes are're trying

7736
04:39:01,944 --> 04:39:02,194
to reach with those target

7737
04:39:02,511 --> 04:39:02,761
populations.

7738
04:39:07,744 --> 04:39:07,994
hospital to home is a

7739
04:39:08,211 --> 04:39:08,461
program that we're really proud

7740
04:39:12,411 --> 04:39:12,661
of in the community and Fy26

7744
04:39:21,744 --> 04:39:21,994

from a hospital or rehab bed

7747
04:39:27,744 --> 04:39:27,994
back to their homes and the

7748
04:39:29,511 --> 04:39:29,761
program works directly with

7749
04:39:30,211 --> 04:39:30,461
their caregivers and community

7750
04:39:32,477 --> 04:39:32,727

mental health services designed

7766

recovery orientation meaning

7782
04:40:40,311 --> 04:40:40,561
that it's not designed for

episodic recurring admissions

7784
04:40:44,377 --> 04:40:44,627
they really tried to get people

7785
04:40:45,077 --> 04:40:45,327
into a recovery

7786
04:40:46,677 --> 04:40:46,927

allocation for fy 27

7789
04:40:57,977 --> 04:40:58,227
throughout the valley we have44

7790
04:41:01,977 --> 04:41:02,227
cooling stations we also

7791
04:41:03,777 --> 04:41:04,027
in some of those cooling

7792
04:41:05,977 --> 04:41:06,227
stations,5 of them allow for

7793
04:41:09,744 --> 04:41:09,994
pets and so activation used

7794
04:41:11,744 --> 04:41:11,994
to just be when the national

7795
04:41:13,744 --> 04:41:13,994
weatheratherervice issued a heat

7796
04:41:15,777 --> 04:41:16,027
warning we worked with the

7797
04:41:17,744 --> 04:41:17,994
coroner's office to really look

7798
04:41:19,511 --> 04:41:19,761
at what temperatures people

7799
04:41:20,277 --> 04:41:20,527
began to exhibit heat related

7800
04:41:22,277 --> 04:41:22,527
stress and symptoms we also

7801
04:41:24,377 --> 04:41:24,627
looked at what temperatures

7802
04:41:24,911 --> 04:41:25,161
people were dying

7803
04:41:28,311 --> 04:41:28,561
and determined that around105

7804
04:41:30,277 --> 04:41:30,527
degrees is when people really

7805
04:41:32,011 --> 04:41:32,261
start to get in trouble and so

7806
04:41:34,244 --> 04:41:34,494
we lowered the activation to105

7807
04:41:34,911 --> 04:41:35,161
degrees which has resulted

7808
04:41:38,277 --> 04:41:38,527
in many more days of the cooling

7809
04:41:40,044 --> 04:41:40,294
stations being activated so

7810
04:41:42,277 --> 04:41:42,527
between March19th and August

7811
04:41:44,277 --> 04:41:44,527
21st of this year the cooling

7812
04:41:46,277 --> 04:41:46,527
stations have been activated60

7813
04:41:48,077 --> 04:41:48,327
days and they're obviously

7814
04:41:48,677 --> 04:41:48,927
activated today.

7815
04:41:52,277 --> 04:41:52,527
and for the record Kevin

7816
04:41:54,011 --> 04:41:54,261
Schiller county manager, I just

7817
04:41:55,677 --> 04:41:55,927
wanted to add two points on this

7818
04:41:56,344 --> 04:41:56,594
slide

7819
04:41:59,477 --> 04:41:59,727
has he talked about hospital

7820
04:42:01,511 --> 04:42:01,761
to home one of the key

7821
04:42:03,511 --> 04:42:03,761
components of that as you guys

7822
04:42:04,144 --> 04:42:04,394
entered the session and you're

7823
04:42:06,244 --> 04:42:06,494
dealing with revenue and budgets

7824
04:42:08,311 --> 04:42:08,561
that was really created

7825
04:42:09,744 --> 04:42:09,994
around the fact that we would

7826
04:42:11,744 --> 04:42:11,994
have people staying in longterm

7827
04:42:13,777 --> 04:42:14,027
hospitalization stays based on

7828
04:42:15,744 --> 04:42:15,994
the ability to not have either

7829
04:42:17,777 --> 04:42:18,027
adult daycare, homeme

7830
04:42:19,511 --> 04:42:19,761
improvements and or caregiving

7831
04:42:21,744 --> 04:42:21,994
around that case management so

7832
04:42:23,877 --> 04:42:24,127
the cost of medicaid the

7833
04:42:24,644 --> 04:42:24,894
uncovered costs all of those

7834
04:42:25,677 --> 04:42:25,927
pieces really has had a dramatic

7835
04:42:29,511 --> 04:42:29,761
impact in terms of that

7836
04:42:30,244 --> 04:42:30,494
population and then the other

7837
04:42:32,011 --> 04:42:32,261
one I wanted to highlight for

7838
04:42:34,011 --> 04:42:34,261
Charneal cause the last time

7839
04:42:36,244 --> 04:42:36,494
I was before you we had talked

7840
04:42:37,744 --> 04:42:37,994
about kind of the

7841
04:42:41,744 --> 04:42:41,994
disproportionate placement

7842
04:42:43,511 --> 04:42:43,761
and or interaction in the

7843
04:42:44,277 --> 04:42:44,527
homeless category related to

7844
04:42:46,244 --> 04:42:46,494
African Americanan population

7845
04:42:48,011 --> 04:42:48,261
and one of the things that I

7846
04:42:50,277 --> 04:42:50,527
wanted to andjamie can expand

7847
04:42:52,277 --> 04:42:52,527
on this but the disproportionate

7848
04:42:54,011 --> 04:42:54,261
percentage I think is somewhere

7849
04:42:55,677 --> 04:42:55,927
around47% when

7850
04:42:57,211 --> 04:42:57,461
you look at the population

7851
04:43:00,011 --> 04:43:00,261
when we're tracking our services

7852
04:43:01,744 --> 04:43:01,994
in terms of who we're intaking

7853
04:43:02,344 --> 04:43:02,594
and who we're providing those

7854
04:43:06,011 --> 04:43:06,261
services to it's about47% or

7855
04:43:07,811 --> 04:43:08,061
close somewhere in that range so

7856
04:43:09,511 --> 04:43:09,761
we are trying to kind of monitor

7857
04:43:12,011 --> 04:43:12,261
that I think the other piece

7858
04:43:13,777 --> 04:43:14,027
when you start getting into the

7859
04:43:15,477 --> 04:43:15,727
homelessness discussion

7860
04:43:18,244 --> 04:43:18,494
obviously the issue of serving

7861
04:43:19,777 --> 04:43:20,027
every single person and looking

7862
04:43:21,744 --> 04:43:21,994
at your capacity marks is

7863
04:43:25,477 --> 04:43:25,727
obviously a key issue any of

7864
04:43:26,211 --> 04:43:26,461
these programs and then I was

7865
04:43:26,877 --> 04:43:27,127
just gonna highlight campus

7866
04:43:27,477 --> 04:43:27,727
for

7867
04:43:30,044 --> 04:43:30,294
hope the other pieces that are

7868
04:43:31,511 --> 04:43:31,761
coming online you're going to

7869
04:43:32,144 --> 04:43:32,394
have additional inventory

7870
04:43:35,511 --> 04:43:35,761
so to speak in terms of capacity

7871
04:43:37,511 --> 04:43:37,761
and so when you look at some of

7872
04:43:38,277 --> 04:43:38,527
these numbers that Mr. Soreren

7873
04:43:40,011 --> 04:43:40,261
is highlighting related to say

7874
04:43:41,511 --> 04:43:41,761
noncongregate care and

7875
04:43:42,311 --> 04:43:42,561
transitional housing in those

7876
04:43:44,244 --> 04:43:44,494
pieces that program is really

7877
04:43:45,744 --> 04:43:45,994
going to be kind of a tier two

7878
04:43:47,511 --> 04:43:47,761
level program so they've come in

7879
04:43:48,244 --> 04:43:48,494
through our system and then move

7880
04:43:51,511 --> 04:43:51,761
into that that's gonna also free

7881
04:43:52,211 --> 04:43:52,461
up and I'm just using simple

7882
04:43:55,511 --> 04:43:55,761
math 900 different beds that we

7883
04:43:56,277 --> 04:43:56,527
currently have in that structure

7884
04:43:58,044 --> 04:43:58,294
so it will continue to move

7885
04:43:58,644 --> 04:43:58,894
forward but I did want to

7886
04:43:59,811 --> 04:44:00,061
highlight those two.

7887
04:44:01,844 --> 04:44:02,094
go ahead Jamie thanks Kevin

7888
04:44:02,411 --> 04:44:02,661
just

7889
04:44:05,511 --> 04:44:05,761
to expound a bit on black and

7890
04:44:07,777 --> 04:44:08,027
Africaneran individuals and how

7891
04:44:11,544 --> 04:44:11,794
they were recorded in the

7892
04:44:14,277 --> 04:44:14,527
2026 pick count42.7% of the

7893
04:44:16,011 --> 04:44:16,261
people experiencing homelessness

7894
04:44:18,411 --> 04:44:18,661
were categorized as black

7895
04:44:18,977 --> 04:44:19,227
or Africaner

7896
04:44:23,811 --> 04:44:24,061
and the disproportionate

7897
04:44:25,511 --> 04:44:25,761
overrepresentation is

7898
04:44:27,511 --> 04:44:27,761
substantial because that

7899
04:44:29,511 --> 04:44:29,761
community represents about4% of

7900
04:44:30,144 --> 04:44:30,394
the total population of Clark

7901
04:44:30,844 --> 04:44:31,094
County.

7902
04:44:34,277 --> 04:44:34,527
but in our service array it's a

7903
04:44:35,977 --> 04:44:36,227
community that's also served and

7904
04:44:39,511 --> 04:44:39,761
so they represent39% of ours

7905
04:44:41,511 --> 04:44:41,761
street outreach for unsheltered

7906
04:44:44,211 --> 04:44:44,461
people they represent4047% of

7907
04:44:47,744 --> 04:44:47,994
our crisis services47% of our

7908
04:44:49,711 --> 04:44:49,961
coordinated entry throughout the

7909
04:44:52,244 --> 04:44:52,494
valley and also48% of those who

7910
04:44:53,744 --> 04:44:53,994
are in permanent supportive

7911
04:44:54,311 --> 04:44:54,561
housing.

7912
04:45:00,011 --> 04:45:00,261
to continue on with heat

7913
04:45:01,744 --> 04:45:01,994
mitigation, I just want to also

7914
04:45:03,477 --> 04:45:03,727
highlight, you know oftentimes

7915
04:45:04,277 --> 04:45:04,527
people experiencing homelessness

7916
04:45:04,944 --> 04:45:05,194
aren't able to get to our

7917
04:45:05,477 --> 04:45:05,727
cooling stations.

7918
04:45:09,511 --> 04:45:09,761
and so we have been trying to

7919
04:45:11,477 --> 04:45:11,727
think of ways to get people out

7920
04:45:13,477 --> 04:45:13,727
to them where they are and so

7921
04:45:14,244 --> 04:45:14,494
we did an interlocal with the

7922
04:45:15,777 --> 04:45:16,027
southernnevada health district

7923
04:45:17,544 --> 04:45:17,794
to create a street medicine

7924
04:45:19,511 --> 04:45:19,761
team, a big part of their work

7925
04:45:22,044 --> 04:45:22,294
from May through September is

7926
04:45:24,244 --> 04:45:24,494
heat mitigation and so

7927
04:45:25,777 --> 04:45:26,027
through their services they're

7928
04:45:27,777 --> 04:45:28,027
going out to people in the

7929
04:45:28,411 --> 04:45:28,661
community who are experiencing

7930
04:45:30,044 --> 04:45:30,294
homelessness homelessness

7931
04:45:32,277 --> 04:45:32,527
they're doing preventative

7932
04:45:34,011 --> 04:45:34,261
and primary care but they're

7933
04:45:34,611 --> 04:45:34,861
doing vitals and triage wound

7934
04:45:39,511 --> 04:45:39,761
burn cu water electrolyte

7935
04:45:41,477 --> 04:45:41,727
packets sunscreen flip flops

7936
04:45:43,777 --> 04:45:44,027
umbrellas cooling towels shoes

7937
04:45:45,744 --> 04:45:45,994
and if necessary depending on

7938
04:45:47,511 --> 04:45:47,761
the condition that someone is in

7939
04:45:49,644 --> 04:45:49,894
they can administerivV's out in

7940
04:45:50,311 --> 04:45:50,561
the field for hydration.

7941
04:45:55,811 --> 04:45:56,061
and we are hoping to kind of

7942
04:45:57,477 --> 04:45:57,727
continue down that path and

7943
04:45:58,244 --> 04:45:58,494
think of ways to get people out

7944
04:46:01,511 --> 04:46:01,761
to the community where people

7945
04:46:03,744 --> 04:46:03,994
are during the summer months

7946
04:46:05,977 --> 04:46:06,227
I also want to highlight pets

7947
04:46:07,511 --> 04:46:07,761
we have a contract with the

7948
04:46:09,511 --> 04:46:09,761
Nevada Homeless alliance for the

7949
04:46:11,744 --> 04:46:11,994
pets assistance programme as

7950
04:46:13,511 --> 04:46:13,761
we know there's a number of

7951
04:46:15,477 --> 04:46:15,727
people experiencing homelessness

7952
04:46:18,244 --> 04:46:18,494
who do not want to go into

7953
04:46:20,044 --> 04:46:20,294
shelter because there's a lot

7954
04:46:20,711 --> 04:46:20,961
of shelters that won't accept

7955
04:46:21,344 --> 04:46:21,594
their pet.

7956
04:46:25,511 --> 04:46:25,761
and so we wanted to be able to

7957
04:46:26,211 --> 04:46:26,461
address that and remove that as

7958
04:46:28,344 --> 04:46:28,594
a barrier for people and so

7959
04:46:32,577 --> 04:46:32,827
the program can provide pet

7960
04:46:34,011 --> 04:46:34,261
deposit assistance it can

7961
04:46:36,211 --> 04:46:36,461
provide pet rent assistance, pet

7962
04:46:37,744 --> 04:46:37,994
medical assistance,

7963
04:46:39,977 --> 04:46:40,227
vaccinations, microchipping spay

7964
04:46:42,011 --> 04:46:42,261
neuter emergency shelter and

7965
04:46:42,677 --> 04:46:42,927
then also pet supply assistance.

7966
04:46:51,477 --> 04:46:51,727
chairnero I'm gonna give umjamie

7967
04:46:52,211 --> 04:46:52,461
just a minute to catch his

7968
04:46:53,977 --> 04:46:54,227
breath and I wanted to just

7969
04:46:55,511 --> 04:46:55,761
check in with you and see if you

7970
04:46:57,711 --> 04:46:57,961
would prefer to stop we've

7971
04:47:00,011 --> 04:47:00,261
divided this into categories

7972
04:47:03,511 --> 04:47:03,761
underapB we still say AB309

7973
04:47:05,511 --> 04:47:05,761
so that is the homelessness that

7974
04:47:06,244 --> 04:47:06,494
we have funded so if you prefer

7975
04:47:08,044 --> 04:47:08,294
if you we can stop for questions

7976
04:47:09,811 --> 04:47:10,061
if you'd like there are some

7977
04:47:11,977 --> 04:47:12,227
additional slides it's kind of

7978
04:47:13,777 --> 04:47:14,027
all related so we have our next

7979
04:47:14,477 --> 04:47:14,727
slides are talking about the

7980
04:47:16,177 --> 04:47:16,427
workforce things that we have

7981
04:47:16,777 --> 04:47:17,027
funded which

7982
04:47:19,477 --> 04:47:19,727
are helping this population and

7983
04:47:21,477 --> 04:47:21,727
then we have some outcomes in a

7984
04:47:22,244 --> 04:47:22,494
later slide, but I wanted to see

7985
04:47:23,744 --> 04:47:23,994
if you wanted to stop there

7986
04:47:24,511 --> 04:47:24,761
chair and if there were

7987
04:47:25,711 --> 04:47:25,961
questions thank you for that I

7988
04:47:28,011 --> 04:47:28,261
think we can open up for

7989
04:47:28,611 --> 04:47:28,861
questions. are there any

7990
04:47:29,177 --> 04:47:29,427
questions

7991
04:47:32,311 --> 04:47:32,561
no questions

7992
04:47:36,077 --> 04:47:36,327
so let's just start here

7993
04:47:39,644 --> 04:47:39,894
so under377D

7994
04:47:45,811 --> 04:47:46,061
although it's reference10377d130

7995
04:47:46,477 --> 04:47:46,727
list

7996
04:47:51,477 --> 04:47:51,727
the programs so are you guys not

7997
04:47:52,144 --> 04:47:52,394
doing anything in adult

7998
04:47:57,777 --> 04:47:58,027
Sureneal this is Joannajacobs

7999
04:47:59,977 --> 04:48:00,227
for the record I I will let

8000
04:48:02,011 --> 04:48:02,261
umjamie we want to go into the

8001
04:48:04,011 --> 04:48:04,261
workforce slide we can talk to

8002
04:48:06,011 --> 04:48:06,261
you about some of this is multi

8003
04:48:08,244 --> 04:48:08,494
layered as I noted so if you

8004
04:48:10,011 --> 04:48:10,261
want to go to the next slide we

8005
04:48:12,011 --> 04:48:12,261
can talk about what is funding

8006
04:48:13,511 --> 04:48:13,761
kind of our adult programming

8007
04:48:14,277 --> 04:48:14,527
well let me ask the two parts

8008
04:48:19,511 --> 04:48:19,761
then because in in377D130 it's

8009
04:48:20,611 --> 04:48:20,861
adult ed and then you guys

8010
04:48:21,177 --> 04:48:21,427
also have an

8011
04:48:25,511 --> 04:48:25,761
incentives for recruitment or

8012
04:48:27,511 --> 04:48:27,761
retention of licensed teachers

8013
04:48:28,211 --> 04:48:28,461
for high vacancy schools within

8014
04:48:28,877 --> 04:48:29,127
CcSd.

8015
04:48:33,744 --> 04:48:33,994
Cherneal Joannajacob for the

8016
04:48:36,011 --> 04:48:36,261
record no that is there is there

8017
04:48:37,744 --> 04:48:37,994
are categories in there we

8018
04:48:39,511 --> 04:48:39,761
prioritized some of the

8019
04:48:41,511 --> 04:48:41,761
categories in the presentation

8020
04:48:44,011 --> 04:48:44,261
today so that is on category F

8021
04:48:46,011 --> 04:48:46,261
and that is not currently a

8022
04:48:48,111 --> 04:48:48,361
category that has been funded

8023
04:48:48,777 --> 04:48:49,027
ever

8024
04:48:52,244 --> 04:48:52,494
to my knowledge joannajacobs for

8025
04:48:53,744 --> 04:48:53,994

chairneal when this legislation

8027
04:48:59,511 --> 04:48:59,761
was originally passed we were in

8028
04:49:00,244 --> 04:49:00,494
discussion with the school

8029
04:49:03,477 --> 04:49:03,727
district but no that was not

8030
04:49:04,544 --> 04:49:04,794
funded ever. OK good to know.

8031
04:49:06,577 --> 04:49:06,827
I was hoping that

8032
04:49:07,777 --> 04:49:08,027
OK.

8033
04:49:09,911 --> 04:49:10,161

04:50:09,511 --> 04:50:09,761
was funding for the building out

8055
04:50:12,044 --> 04:50:12,294
of this funding stream the

8056
04:50:13,811 --> 04:50:14,061
program that we've highlighted

8057
04:50:15,744 --> 04:50:15,994
in our slides has been a program

8058
04:50:18,044 --> 04:50:18,294
that's a as partnership where

8059
04:50:19,777 --> 04:50:20,027
Clark County is paying the

8060
04:50:21,744 --> 04:50:21,994
through this funding tuition for

8061
04:50:23,677 --> 04:50:23,927
clients of social service to go

8062
04:50:24,344 --> 04:50:24,594
into the culinary

8063
04:50:26,477 --> 04:50:26,727
academy I'll let director

8064
04:50:28,011 --> 04:50:28,261
sorenson if you want to hear

8065
04:50:29,977 --> 04:50:30,227
about that and then I'll go back

8066
04:50:33,477 --> 04:50:33,727
and I will if I can verify that

8067
04:50:34,211 --> 04:50:34,461
and so I can answer your

8068
04:50:36,244 --> 04:50:36,494
question for the record

8069
04:50:37,977 --> 04:50:38,227
Kevinschiller county manager you

8070
04:50:40,244 --> 04:50:40,494
are correct we we funded a

8071
04:50:42,277 --> 04:50:42,527
building related to culinary at

8072
04:50:45,511 --> 04:50:45,761
the onset of the passage of that

8073
04:50:46,277 --> 04:50:46,527
funding. I don't have the amount

8074
04:50:47,977 --> 04:50:48,227
in hand but I can get it for

8075
04:50:49,744 --> 04:50:49,994
you. yeah cuz I thought I was

8076
04:50:50,344 --> 04:50:50,594
also listed as one of the

8077
04:50:54,111 --> 04:50:54,361
could be funded in the list

8078
04:50:57,744 --> 04:50:57,994
and I think I think the larger

8079
04:50:59,711 --> 04:50:59,961
question was since this is s

8080
04:51:01,744 --> 04:51:01,994
sales tax money right I don't

8081
04:51:03,477 --> 04:51:03,727
have anything against culinary.

8082
04:51:05,744 --> 04:51:05,994
why are we in particular only

8083
04:51:07,477 --> 04:51:07,727
focused on one particular group

8084
04:51:09,677 --> 04:51:09,927
and we're using tax dollars

8085
04:51:10,211 --> 04:51:10,461
twice

8086
04:51:11,677 --> 04:51:11,927
to do an effort

8087
04:51:15,811 --> 04:51:16,061
through that through the sales

8088
04:51:16,477 --> 04:51:16,727
tax

8089
04:51:20,011 --> 04:51:20,261
when no one other group is

8090
04:51:20,577 --> 04:51:20,827
spelled out and placed

8091
04:51:24,077 --> 04:51:24,327
as a union group

8092
04:51:25,644 --> 04:51:25,894
in the

8093
04:51:34,011 --> 04:51:34,261
was that a question that you

8094
04:51:37,811 --> 04:51:38,061
would like me to address I

8095
04:51:41,677 --> 04:51:41,927
I will tell you that

8096
04:51:44,244 --> 04:51:44,494
the point that you're trying to

8097
04:51:46,244 --> 04:51:46,494
make is that there that was a

8098
04:51:49,477 --> 04:51:49,727
broad category the cullon that

8099
04:51:50,444 --> 04:51:50,694
we did initial conversations

8100
04:51:52,011 --> 04:51:52,261
with the culinary and so that

8101
04:51:53,777 --> 04:51:54,027
one is the one that has been

8102
04:51:56,244 --> 04:51:56,494
funded we could certainly

8103
04:51:57,677 --> 04:51:57,927
take that back toclark County.

8104
04:51:58,577 --> 04:51:58,827
that feedback

8105
04:52:12,344 --> 04:52:12,594
jamie Sorenson the

8106
04:52:17,711 --> 04:52:17,961
culinary academy the first of

8107
04:52:19,711 --> 04:52:19,961
all the the 4 million is broken

8108
04:52:21,977 --> 04:52:22,227
up between the culinary academy

8109
04:52:23,977 --> 04:52:24,227
and the betterment programme

8110
04:52:25,644 --> 04:52:25,894
so it's an allocation that goes

8111
04:52:26,311 --> 04:52:26,561
to

8112
04:52:27,811 --> 04:52:28,061
to both but

8113
04:52:31,711 --> 04:52:31,961
culinary academy is designed to

8114
04:52:32,444 --> 04:52:32,694
serve unemployed and

8115
04:52:33,977 --> 04:52:34,227
underemployed lark County

8116
04:52:35,744 --> 04:52:35,994
residents from the lowest income

8117
04:52:38,244 --> 04:52:38,494
zip codes60% of the students are

8118
04:52:42,211 --> 04:52:42,461
female77% Hispanic or Africaner

8119
04:52:45,511 --> 04:52:45,761
um61% were actually from the

8120
04:52:47,744 --> 04:52:47,994
lowest income zip codes the

8121
04:52:49,744 --> 04:52:49,994
funding provided transforms the

8122
04:52:51,977 --> 04:52:52,227
culinary academy from a training

8123
04:52:53,977 --> 04:52:54,227
program into a full support

8124
04:52:55,944 --> 04:52:56,194
system that provides case

8125
04:52:57,644 --> 04:52:57,894
management, career services

8126
04:52:58,211 --> 04:52:58,461
wrapparound services

8127
04:53:02,411 --> 04:53:02,661
and ESl literary supports

8128
04:53:05,744 --> 04:53:05,994
it can provide support services

8129
04:53:07,477 --> 04:53:07,727
that are pretty comprehensive

8130
04:53:08,077 --> 04:53:08,327
things like childcare

8131
04:53:10,211 --> 04:53:10,461
transportation work attire work

8132
04:53:11,977 --> 04:53:12,227
cards health cards and testing

8133
04:53:13,711 --> 04:53:13,961
alcohol awareness cards and

8134
04:53:15,511 --> 04:53:15,761
testing fees on site meals at

8135
04:53:16,244 --> 04:53:16,494
less than the per diem hairir

8136
04:53:17,977 --> 04:53:18,227
care for interviews, interview

8137
04:53:19,977 --> 04:53:20,227
clothes hygiene products laundry

8138
04:53:21,477 --> 04:53:21,727
detergents so it really creates

8139
04:53:23,744 --> 04:53:23,994
a wrapparound model to eliminate

8140
04:53:25,977 --> 04:53:26,227
barriers for people since 2021

8141
04:53:27,677 --> 04:53:27,927
the culinary academy has

8142
04:53:28,244 --> 04:53:28,494
assessed

8143
04:53:32,377 --> 04:53:32,627
3600 students and they have

8144
04:53:35,777 --> 04:53:36,027
had1300 graduates of the

8145
04:53:39,977 --> 04:53:40,227
graduates that were AB3098 of

8146
04:53:41,977 --> 04:53:42,227
the students that were AB309

8147
04:53:45,511 --> 04:53:45,761
there's a85% graduation rate

8148
04:53:47,511 --> 04:53:47,761
of that85% graduation rate in

8149
04:53:49,977 --> 04:53:50,227
9tycent of them were employed

8150
04:53:53,977 --> 04:53:54,227
and of that 90%75% of them were

8151
04:53:55,944 --> 04:53:56,194
employed in union hotels and

8152
04:53:56,544 --> 04:53:56,794
they have very high retention in

8153
04:53:57,211 --> 04:53:57,461
their employment.

8154
04:54:01,511 --> 04:54:01,761
and we know that this is

8155
04:54:02,244 --> 04:54:02,494
important because removing those

8156
04:54:04,277 --> 04:54:04,527
practical barriers really

8157
04:54:06,011 --> 04:54:06,261
leads to completion of the

8158
04:54:07,744 --> 04:54:07,994
program ultimately employment

8159
04:54:09,711 --> 04:54:09,961
and retention it stabilizes

8160
04:54:11,811 --> 04:54:12,061
families and it also strengthens

8161
04:54:13,744 --> 04:54:13,994
the hospitality workforce

8162
04:54:14,477 --> 04:54:14,727
pipeline and the culinary

8163
04:54:16,144 --> 04:54:16,394
academy has agreements with many

8164
04:54:18,144 --> 04:54:18,394
of the resorts as an

8165
04:54:18,577 --> 04:54:18,827
employment pipe pipeline.

8166
04:54:22,011 --> 04:54:22,261
we also know that this

8167
04:54:24,011 --> 04:54:24,261
program leads to less reliance

8168
04:54:26,077 --> 04:54:26,327
on public assistance and greater

8169
04:54:27,744 --> 04:54:27,994
personal wellbeing for the

8170
04:54:28,311 --> 04:54:28,561
students that graduate and get

8171
04:54:28,977 --> 04:54:29,227
employed.

8172
04:54:32,211 --> 04:54:32,461
the bettermentgra with US

8173
04:54:35,977 --> 04:54:36,227
vets that again is a very

8174
04:54:37,511 --> 04:54:37,761
work focused and so it's a

8175
04:54:38,244 --> 04:54:38,494
collaborative bridge housing

8176
04:54:39,777 --> 04:54:40,027
employment and training

8177
04:54:41,744 --> 04:54:41,994
programme it's aimed at helping

8178
04:54:43,511 --> 04:54:43,761
people transition out of

8179
04:54:44,244 --> 04:54:44,494
homelessness and they try to get

8180
04:54:45,744 --> 04:54:45,994
them into permanent homeless

8181
04:54:47,944 --> 04:54:48,194
homelessness within 90 days the

8182
04:54:49,977 --> 04:54:50,227
average days that people are

8183
04:54:53,744 --> 04:54:53,994
in the program is actually67

8184
04:54:56,177 --> 04:54:56,427
they have a60% success rate

8185
04:54:57,711 --> 04:54:57,961
they can provide security

8186
04:54:58,544 --> 04:54:58,794
deposit first and last month's

8187
04:54:59,211 --> 04:54:59,461
rent rental application

8188
04:55:03,477 --> 04:55:03,727
fees but it is really very

8189
04:55:04,144 --> 04:55:04,394
much workforce focused

8190
04:55:04,611 --> 04:55:04,861
program.

8191
04:55:10,011 --> 04:55:10,261
going on to slide seven

8192
04:55:13,477 --> 04:55:13,727
we wanted to highlight that

8193
04:55:16,011 --> 04:55:16,261
we really strongly believe that

8194
04:55:19,511 --> 04:55:19,761
AB309 investment is impactful in

8195
04:55:20,244 --> 04:55:20,494
the community to individuals

8196
04:55:22,244 --> 04:55:22,494
families households in the

8197
04:55:25,777 --> 04:55:26,027
community and that is just

8198
04:55:27,477 --> 04:55:27,727
a funding source that has

8199
04:55:28,211 --> 04:55:28,461
been working for Clark County

8200
04:55:31,944 --> 04:55:32,194
I talked about some of our

8201
04:55:33,577 --> 04:55:33,827
programs but I also want to

8202
04:55:35,711 --> 04:55:35,961
highlight a few of them the

8203
04:55:39,477 --> 04:55:39,727

8204
04:55:41,511 --> 04:55:41,761

honors government entities who

8217
04:56:09,477 --> 04:56:09,727
put workplace experience

8218
04:56:11,711 --> 04:56:11,961
together with ingenuity to

8219
04:56:13,744 --> 04:56:13,994
make citizen services work

8220
04:56:14,344 --> 04:56:14,594
better, faster and cheaper.

8221
04:56:17,511 --> 04:56:17,761
a couple of other programs that

8222
04:56:19,511 --> 04:56:19,761
are linked to these continuums

8223
04:56:20,511 --> 04:56:20,761
because we are very focused

8224
04:56:22,277 --> 04:56:22,527
on quality and having an impact

8225
04:56:24,011 --> 04:56:24,261
and creating a meaningful

8226
04:56:26,011 --> 04:56:26,261
continuum at our social services

8227
04:56:28,011 --> 04:56:28,261
department I want to highlight

8228
04:56:29,744 --> 04:56:29,994
two important programs that also

8229
04:56:31,777 --> 04:56:32,027
received awards our healthalthy

8230
04:56:33,511 --> 04:56:33,761

national Nnico award in 2025 and

8233
04:56:41,511 --> 04:56:41,761
the eviction diversion program

8234
04:56:42,144 --> 04:56:42,394

8235
04:56:44,044 --> 04:56:44,294
received a national Nnico award

8236
04:56:44,711 --> 04:56:44,961
in 2026.

8237
04:56:49,477 --> 04:56:49,727
I do want to highlight the

8238
04:56:50,077 --> 04:56:50,327
collaboration that occurs in

8239
04:56:51,744 --> 04:56:51,994
this work in the community

8240
04:56:52,311 --> 04:56:52,561
through the continuum of care of

8241
04:56:55,744 --> 04:56:55,994
the CC it's really charged with

8242
04:56:57,511 --> 04:56:57,761
coordinating funding for

8243
04:56:59,744 --> 04:56:59,994
services and housing to assist

8244
04:57:00,477 --> 04:57:00,727
individuals and families in

8245
04:57:03,511 --> 04:57:03,761
experiencing homelessness it

8246
04:57:05,477 --> 04:57:05,727
promotes really a communitywide

8247
04:57:06,177 --> 04:57:06,427
commitment to the goal of ending

8248
04:57:07,511 --> 04:57:07,761
homelessness a very

8249
04:57:09,511 --> 04:57:09,761
collaborative process with

8250
04:57:11,744 --> 04:57:11,994
representation from most of the

8251
04:57:14,244 --> 04:57:14,494
agencies touching

8252
04:57:14,611 --> 04:57:14,861
homelessness services in the

8253
04:57:15,311 --> 04:57:15,561
community

8254
04:57:19,511 --> 04:57:19,761
as you may know Hu puts out a

8255
04:57:21,477 --> 04:57:21,727
notice of uhho is funding

8256
04:57:25,744 --> 04:57:25,994
opportunity and the ClC is

8257
04:57:26,377 --> 04:57:26,627
really responsible with that

8258
04:57:27,977 --> 04:57:28,227
submission but Clark County

8259
04:57:30,044 --> 04:57:30,294
socialcialervices is what's

8260
04:57:30,611 --> 04:57:30,861
called the collaborative

8261
04:57:31,777 --> 04:57:32,027
applicants so we write it

8262
04:57:33,511 --> 04:57:33,761
we've used a lot of technical

8263
04:57:34,277 --> 04:57:34,527
assistance the community came

8264
04:57:36,011 --> 04:57:36,261
together to put really together

8265
04:57:39,477 --> 04:57:39,727
a a really innovative

8266
04:57:41,477 --> 04:57:41,727
application this year and it was

8267
04:57:42,511 --> 04:57:42,761
due August twenty6, but a

8268
04:57:45,677 --> 04:57:45,927
federal judge has halted the

8269
04:57:46,244 --> 04:57:46,494
process because

8270
04:57:49,777 --> 04:57:50,027
of two reasons that HU acted

8271
04:57:51,977 --> 04:57:52,227
illegally by creating a1.3

8272
04:57:54,244 --> 04:57:54,494
billion funding set aside for

8273
04:57:55,977 --> 04:57:56,227
temporary housing and treatment

8274
04:57:56,711 --> 04:57:56,961
programs without following

8275
04:57:59,511 --> 04:57:59,761
proper procedures and also had

8276
04:58:00,144 --> 04:58:00,394
failed to use the mandatory

8277
04:58:01,511 --> 04:58:01,761
notice and comment process

8278
04:58:03,511 --> 04:58:03,761
before making major policy

8279
04:58:05,744 --> 04:58:05,994
shifts and so that nofo

8280
04:58:07,511 --> 04:58:07,761
funding opportunity is on hold

8281
04:58:08,211 --> 04:58:08,461
and HU has not announced a

8282
04:58:11,711 --> 04:58:11,961
timeline or released a new

8283
04:58:12,477 --> 04:58:12,727
what's considered compliant

8284
04:58:15,677 --> 04:58:15,927
notice of funding opportunity I

8285
04:58:16,344 --> 04:58:16,594
want to talk a little bit about

8286
04:58:18,244 --> 04:58:18,494
our federal funding because we

8287
04:58:19,977 --> 04:58:20,227
are somewhat constrained in the

8288
04:58:21,777 --> 04:58:22,027
community based on a few

8289
04:58:22,377 --> 04:58:22,627

hear for it it defines

citizens.

8311
04:59:09,477 --> 04:59:09,727
in our services when we're

8312
04:59:10,144 --> 04:59:10,394
working with everybody in the

8313
04:59:12,177 --> 04:59:12,427
community if we come across

8314
04:59:13,511 --> 04:59:13,761
somebody who doesn't have a

8315
04:59:15,744 --> 04:59:15,994
birth certificate a passport or

8316
04:59:18,211 --> 04:59:18,461
documentation we are required to

8317
04:59:20,244 --> 04:59:20,494
run them through the systemic

8318
04:59:21,977 --> 04:59:22,227
alien verification for

entitlement programme or the

8320
04:59:26,011 --> 04:59:26,261
save program and then we will

8321
04:59:27,977 --> 04:59:28,227
learn if they are eligible for

8322
04:59:31,511 --> 04:59:31,761
services with federal funding

8323
04:59:33,711 --> 04:59:33,961
also the multiple executive

8324
04:59:35,477 --> 04:59:35,727
order orders targeting

8325
04:59:36,011 --> 04:59:36,261

8326
04:59:39,711 --> 04:59:39,961
or DI affirmative action and

8327
04:59:41,477 --> 04:59:41,727
disparate impact liability

8328
04:59:43,744 --> 04:59:43,994
require grant recipients to

8329
04:59:45,744 --> 04:59:45,994
eliminate raceconscious

8330
04:59:47,677 --> 04:59:47,927
practices race preferences and

8331
04:59:48,344 --> 04:59:48,594
DEI programs.

8332
04:59:51,477 --> 04:59:51,727
and so there are many people

8333
04:59:52,244 --> 04:59:52,494
that we are able to serve in the

8334
04:59:53,844 --> 04:59:54,094
community because of AB309.

8335
04:59:57,477 --> 04:59:57,727
and there are programs that are

8336
04:59:58,244 --> 04:59:58,494
federally funded that we cannot

8337
04:59:59,777 --> 05:00:00,027
accept people into

8338
05:00:00,211 --> 05:00:00,461
unfortunately and there are

8339
05:00:02,211 --> 05:00:02,461
people who are vulnerable and

8340
05:00:04,211 --> 05:00:04,461
are in need in this community

8341
05:00:06,177 --> 05:00:06,427
they have families and so

8342
05:00:07,944 --> 05:00:08,194
this is really important funding

8343
05:00:08,611 --> 05:00:08,861
for in particular at this time.

8344
05:00:18,244 --> 05:00:18,494
your joannajacob for the record

8345
05:00:20,244 --> 05:00:20,494
I will stop again there our

8346
05:00:22,011 --> 05:00:22,261
next slide is going to move on

8347
05:00:24,011 --> 05:00:24,261
to a different category in the

8348
05:00:25,777 --> 05:00:26,027
bill and that's the truancy

8349
05:00:27,744 --> 05:00:27,994
programming, but I'll stop again

8350
05:00:29,711 --> 05:00:29,961
chair at your discretion to see

8351
05:00:31,711 --> 05:00:31,961
if there are any questions on

8352
05:00:32,377 --> 05:00:32,627
this information that we just

8353
05:00:32,977 --> 05:00:33,227
presented

8354
05:00:35,611 --> 05:00:35,861
you can just

8355
05:00:42,327 --> 05:00:42,577
Joannajacobs for the record

8356
05:00:45,477 --> 05:00:45,727
again we'll sub out director

8357
05:00:46,077 --> 05:00:46,327
Sorerenson and we'll bring Jill

8358
05:00:47,977 --> 05:00:48,227
Moreno to the table she's our

8359
05:00:49,977 --> 05:00:50,227
director of clinical services

8360
05:00:51,511 --> 05:00:51,761
and community services our

8361
05:00:53,711 --> 05:00:53,961
newest Clark County

8362
05:00:55,511 --> 05:00:55,761
department and she's going to

8363
05:00:57,511 --> 05:00:57,761
talk about what we have done

8364
05:00:58,077 --> 05:00:58,327
with truancy through the years

8365
05:00:58,711 --> 05:00:58,961
and where we are heading next.

8366
05:01:04,444 --> 05:01:04,694
thank you chair member of the

8367
05:01:05,944 --> 05:01:06,194
committees again my name is

8368
05:01:08,211 --> 05:01:08,461
Jill Morano and I serve as the

8369
05:01:09,711 --> 05:01:09,961
director of Clark County's

8370
05:01:10,277 --> 05:01:10,527
clinical andunervices

8371
05:01:13,711 --> 05:01:13,961
I just have a couple of

8372
05:01:15,977 --> 05:01:16,227
slides here on what we have done

8373
05:01:17,744 --> 05:01:17,994
in clinical and community

8374
05:01:19,711 --> 05:01:19,961
services with our EB309 funds

8375
05:01:21,911 --> 05:01:22,161
our biggest program is our

8376
05:01:24,244 --> 05:01:24,494
truancy truancy intervention

8377
05:01:26,211 --> 05:01:26,461
programme often referred to

8378
05:01:28,177 --> 05:01:28,427
in the community as teapop or

8379
05:01:29,911 --> 05:01:30,161
truancy prevention outreach

8380
05:01:30,444 --> 05:01:30,694
programme

8381
05:01:31,644 --> 05:01:31,894
and

8382
05:01:35,744 --> 05:01:35,994
it's been a really you know it's

8383
05:01:37,744 --> 05:01:37,994
exciting couple of years for us

8384
05:01:39,944 --> 05:01:40,194
in the truancy in in our

8385
05:01:41,911 --> 05:01:42,161
truancy work we provide a

8386
05:01:44,144 --> 05:01:44,394
range of services that are you

8387
05:01:45,677 --> 05:01:45,927
know really all customized to

8388
05:01:46,377 --> 05:01:46,627
each of the families that we

8389
05:01:48,144 --> 05:01:48,394
serve so not every family gets

8390
05:01:51,477 --> 05:01:51,727
the exact same set of services

8391
05:01:53,711 --> 05:01:53,961
but over the last two school

8392
05:01:55,477 --> 05:01:55,727
years we've really worked

8393
05:01:56,144 --> 05:01:56,394
closely and really tried to

8394
05:01:57,511 --> 05:01:57,761
enhance our relationship with

8395
05:01:59,511 --> 05:01:59,761
the clark County school district

8396
05:02:01,511 --> 05:02:01,761
to refine our referral process

8397
05:02:02,144 --> 05:02:02,394
and ensure that we really are

8398
05:02:02,811 --> 05:02:03,061
reaching

8399
05:02:05,477 --> 05:02:05,727
the right population. the

8400
05:02:07,477 --> 05:02:07,727
school district has also been

8401
05:02:08,144 --> 05:02:08,394
been really clear in the last

8402
05:02:09,944 --> 05:02:10,194
couple of years that they want

8403
05:02:12,177 --> 05:02:12,427
their individual schools to also

8404
05:02:14,144 --> 05:02:14,394
engage in truancy and chronic

8405
05:02:17,477 --> 05:02:17,727
absenteeism efforts and have

8406
05:02:19,477 --> 05:02:19,727
made some good efforts at

8407
05:02:21,911 --> 05:02:22,161
clarifying their role versus our

8408
05:02:24,144 --> 05:02:24,394
role and so how we what we've

8409
05:02:25,677 --> 05:02:25,927
really worked on in the last

8410
05:02:28,211 --> 05:02:28,461
couple of years is clarifying

8411
05:02:29,944 --> 05:02:30,194
that we do in thetru and world

8412
05:02:31,811 --> 05:02:32,061
what is called the tier two and

8413
05:02:32,511 --> 05:02:32,761
tier three interventions

8414
05:02:34,177 --> 05:02:34,427
whereas the schools will focus

8415
05:02:35,911 --> 05:02:36,161
on the tier one interventions

8416
05:02:37,711 --> 05:02:37,961
which are typically the earlier

8417
05:02:39,911 --> 05:02:40,161
interventions. So it's tier one

8418
05:02:41,477 --> 05:02:41,727
intervention would be things

8419
05:02:43,477 --> 05:02:43,727
like emails and phone calls to

8420
05:02:44,344 --> 05:02:44,594
parents sending attendance

8421
05:02:46,144 --> 05:02:46,394
letters making an attendance

8422
05:02:48,144 --> 05:02:48,394
contract with a student and

8423
05:02:50,144 --> 05:02:50,394
then making referrals internally

8424
05:02:51,944 --> 05:02:52,194
to school counselors and social

8425
05:02:53,944 --> 05:02:54,194
workers when those types of

8426
05:02:56,144 --> 05:02:56,394
interventions don't work the

8427
05:02:57,744 --> 05:02:57,994
school district refers those

8428
05:03:01,477 --> 05:03:01,727
cases to us to also attempt a

8429
05:03:02,111 --> 05:03:02,361
more intensive interventions and

8430
05:03:04,177 --> 05:03:04,427
so at that tier two level the

8431
05:03:05,911 --> 05:03:06,161
kinds of things that we are

8432
05:03:08,177 --> 05:03:08,427
doing in our truancy program

8433
05:03:10,111 --> 05:03:10,361
is completing home visits going

8434
05:03:13,711 --> 05:03:13,961
to schools to visit students

8435
05:03:14,344 --> 05:03:14,594
completing a needs assessment

8436
05:03:16,144 --> 05:03:16,394
case plannings various

8437
05:03:18,277 --> 05:03:18,527
referrals to community providers

8438
05:03:21,977 --> 05:03:22,227
and so what we've seen with

8439
05:03:23,977 --> 05:03:24,227
those tier two interventions is

8440
05:03:26,177 --> 05:03:26,427
that we had about6200 youth that

8441
05:03:29,711 --> 05:03:29,961
were referred to us last year

8442
05:03:33,477 --> 05:03:33,727
and almost 2800 families that we

8443
05:03:37,477 --> 05:03:37,727
reached of those62 se79 did

8444
05:03:38,177 --> 05:03:38,427
engage in services so it's about

8445
05:03:41,977 --> 05:03:42,227
a44% rate of families engaging

8446
05:03:43,744 --> 05:03:43,994
engaging with us that's a number

8447
05:03:45,477 --> 05:03:45,727
we would like to see higher but

8448
05:03:46,177 --> 05:03:46,427
for a voluntary service they're

8449
05:03:48,544 --> 05:03:48,794
pretty pleased to be able to get

8450
05:03:49,211 --> 05:03:49,461
to get that high

8451
05:03:53,444 --> 05:03:53,694
of a number. The other really

8452
05:03:55,444 --> 05:03:55,694
exciting thing that we saw was

8453
05:03:56,144 --> 05:03:56,394
and we we tracked attendance

8454
05:03:59,711 --> 05:03:59,961
outcomes at30,60,90 and120 days

8455
05:04:01,711 --> 05:04:01,961
Our our sweet spot seems to be

8456
05:04:05,477 --> 05:04:05,727
the60 day number 94% of all

8457
05:04:07,911 --> 05:04:08,161
the families that we that we

8458
05:04:09,711 --> 05:04:09,961
intervened with had improved

8459
05:04:11,744 --> 05:04:11,994
school attendance at that60 day

8460
05:04:13,944 --> 05:04:14,194
mark the families are averaging

8461
05:04:17,511 --> 05:04:17,761
about 23 more days of school in

8462
05:04:18,544 --> 05:04:18,794
the60 days post our intervention

8463
05:04:19,211 --> 05:04:19,461
as compared to

8464
05:04:22,244 --> 05:04:22,494
before our intervention that

8465
05:04:25,444 --> 05:04:25,694
does trail off a little bit

8466
05:04:28,177 --> 05:04:28,427
as you get closer to the1212

8467
05:04:31,677 --> 05:04:31,927
days last year we noted

8468
05:04:34,144 --> 05:04:34,394
that71% of the families still

8469
05:04:37,711 --> 05:04:37,961
had improved attendance a120

8470
05:04:39,711 --> 05:04:39,961
days after our intervention so

8471
05:04:41,977 --> 05:04:42,227
big improvement from the year

8472
05:04:44,211 --> 05:04:44,461
before when it was about53% so

8473
05:04:46,211 --> 05:04:46,461
really excited to see that

8474
05:04:48,211 --> 05:04:48,461
the changes that we have put in

8475
05:04:48,877 --> 05:04:49,127
place in the last couple of

8476
05:04:49,444 --> 05:04:49,694
years

8477
05:04:53,477 --> 05:04:53,727
seemed to be resulting in

8478
05:04:55,477 --> 05:04:55,727
meaningful outcomes for the kids

8479
05:04:56,144 --> 05:04:56,394
and families that we're serving

8480
05:05:02,111 --> 05:05:02,361
I can the next thing I wanted to

8481
05:05:03,911 --> 05:05:04,161
talk about maybe moves a little

8482
05:05:06,111 --> 05:05:06,361
bit away from teapop but it's

8483
05:05:07,944 --> 05:05:08,194
really about some of the the

8484
05:05:09,477 --> 05:05:09,727
bigger shifts that we're trying

8485
05:05:11,711 --> 05:05:11,961
to make within the county as as

8486
05:05:13,477 --> 05:05:13,727
we mentioned we created a new

8487
05:05:14,144 --> 05:05:14,394
department clinical and

8488
05:05:16,111 --> 05:05:16,361
community services the idea

8489
05:05:17,877 --> 05:05:18,127
behind this department was to

8490
05:05:19,944 --> 05:05:20,194
streamline and consolidate the

8491
05:05:21,711 --> 05:05:21,961
mental behavioral health

8492
05:05:22,244 --> 05:05:22,494
services in the early

8493
05:05:25,511 --> 05:05:25,761
intervention and prevention

8494
05:05:26,177 --> 05:05:26,427
programs on both the juvenile

8495
05:05:28,144 --> 05:05:28,394
justice and child welfare

8496
05:05:28,677 --> 05:05:28,927
sides of the house with the

8497
05:05:32,144 --> 05:05:32,394
idea being that there's a lot of

8498
05:05:33,911 --> 05:05:34,161
kids being served in both

8499
05:05:36,144 --> 05:05:36,394
systems and so it just made

8500
05:05:37,744 --> 05:05:37,994
sense that you have the same

8501
05:05:39,511 --> 05:05:39,761
clinician working with you or

8502
05:05:41,711 --> 05:05:41,961
the same access to services to

8503
05:05:44,144 --> 05:05:44,394
prevent further entry into

8504
05:05:46,211 --> 05:05:46,461
either one of the systems and so

8505
05:05:48,177 --> 05:05:48,427
in in creating that new

8506
05:05:49,744 --> 05:05:49,994
department the other thing that

8507
05:05:51,677 --> 05:05:51,927
we are doing is combining our

8508
05:05:54,177 --> 05:05:54,427
teapop services with our

8509
05:05:55,944 --> 05:05:56,194
harbors which are our juvenile

8510
05:05:57,511 --> 05:05:57,761
assessment center that you may

8511
05:05:58,177 --> 05:05:58,427
be familiar with on the juvenile

8512
05:05:58,844 --> 05:05:59,094
delinquency side of the house

8513
05:06:01,944 --> 05:06:02,194
the the harbors have been

8514
05:06:03,911 --> 05:06:04,161
around for several years they

8515
05:06:05,677 --> 05:06:05,927
always have operated very

8516
05:06:06,377 --> 05:06:06,627
separately from our truancy

8517
05:06:10,177 --> 05:06:10,427
program when we look at this the

8518
05:06:11,977 --> 05:06:12,227
families and the students being

8519
05:06:14,177 --> 05:06:14,427
served through the harbors72% of

8520
05:06:15,944 --> 05:06:16,194
those youth also have an

8521
05:06:18,377 --> 05:06:18,627
attendance problem and so it

8522
05:06:20,144 --> 05:06:20,394
just made sense to really make

8523
05:06:23,511 --> 05:06:23,761
sure that all of the services

8524
05:06:25,477 --> 05:06:25,727
that we're providing on either

8525
05:06:27,477 --> 05:06:27,727
side of the house are available

8526
05:06:28,144 --> 05:06:28,394
to both to both. it

8527
05:06:28,577 --> 05:06:28,827
eliminates the need for families

8528
05:06:31,911 --> 05:06:32,161
to be cross referred from one

8529
05:06:34,111 --> 05:06:34,361
program to another and makes

8530
05:06:35,911 --> 05:06:36,161
sure that every student that's

8531
05:06:37,511 --> 05:06:37,761
coming lets as an example maybe

8532
05:06:39,477 --> 05:06:39,727
in anger management class it's

8533
05:06:40,144 --> 05:06:40,394
available to you whether you're

8534
05:06:41,911 --> 05:06:42,161
a teapop student or a Harva

8535
05:06:43,944 --> 05:06:44,194
student. so we're in the process

8536
05:06:47,477 --> 05:06:47,727
this year of of making that

8537
05:06:49,511 --> 05:06:49,761
merge and we're you know

8538
05:06:50,177 --> 05:06:50,427
looking at these is more like a

8539
05:06:51,944 --> 05:06:52,194
community connection center or

8540
05:06:53,711 --> 05:06:53,961
community support center where

8541
05:06:55,511 --> 05:06:55,761
it's really we're we're trying

8542
05:06:56,144 --> 05:06:56,394
to implement the one door

8543
05:06:58,477 --> 05:06:58,727
approach where no matter what

8544
05:06:59,144 --> 05:06:59,394
your what you walk in

8545
05:07:02,111 --> 05:07:02,361
to us needing as a family we're

8546
05:07:04,144 --> 05:07:04,394
able to make sure that you that

8547
05:07:06,377 --> 05:07:06,627
you get that and we're really

8548
05:07:07,944 --> 05:07:08,194
trying to increase the services

8549
05:07:09,477 --> 05:07:09,727
that we're providing in the

8550
05:07:11,477 --> 05:07:11,727
building as opposed to it being

8551
05:07:13,477 --> 05:07:13,727
more of a referralbased program

8552
05:07:15,711 --> 05:07:15,961
so we're very excited about the

8553
05:07:17,911 --> 05:07:18,161
about how we're growing with

8554
05:07:21,477 --> 05:07:21,727
teapop and how we are able to

8555
05:07:23,511 --> 05:07:23,761
increase the services we we view

8556
05:07:24,177 --> 05:07:24,427
ourselves as being able to

8557
05:07:25,677 --> 05:07:25,927
increase the services to more

8558
05:07:26,477 --> 05:07:26,727
folks in need in the

8559
05:07:26,944 --> 05:07:27,194
community

8560
05:07:31,777 --> 05:07:32,027
so if we want to go to the next

8561
05:07:33,844 --> 05:07:34,094
slide

8562
05:07:37,477 --> 05:07:37,727
the other the other really

8563
05:07:38,011 --> 05:07:38,261
significant program that we're

8564
05:07:39,911 --> 05:07:40,161
working on creating is building

8565
05:07:41,477 --> 05:07:41,727
out our differential response

8566
05:07:42,177 --> 05:07:42,427
programifferential response is a

8567
05:07:45,477 --> 05:07:45,727
child welfare intervention it is

8568
05:07:47,944 --> 05:07:48,194
an informal voluntary response

8569
05:07:50,177 --> 05:07:50,427
for cases where safety

8570
05:07:51,911 --> 05:07:52,161
concerns have not been

8571
05:07:53,711 --> 05:07:53,961
identified but there is a risk

8572
05:07:55,477 --> 05:07:55,727
of maltreatment that's been

8573
05:07:57,977 --> 05:07:58,227
identified what we have noticed

8574
05:08:00,177 --> 05:08:00,427
particularly in some of our

8575
05:08:02,144 --> 05:08:02,394
our lower level of child welfare

8576
05:08:04,044 --> 05:08:04,294
cases is that they are very

8577
05:08:04,611 --> 05:08:04,861
typically related to education

8578
05:08:06,211 --> 05:08:06,461
al neglect and housing and

8579
05:08:09,477 --> 05:08:09,727
homeless service needs housing

8580
05:08:10,444 --> 05:08:10,694
and homeless instability that is

8581
05:08:12,211 --> 05:08:12,461
creating some sort of safety

8582
05:08:13,911 --> 05:08:14,161
concern for the child and so

8583
05:08:16,211 --> 05:08:16,461
what what the goal is in

8584
05:08:17,944 --> 05:08:18,194
building out this differential

8585
05:08:19,944 --> 05:08:20,194
response program is to be able

8586
05:08:21,711 --> 05:08:21,961
to informally serve those

8587
05:08:23,744 --> 05:08:23,994
families before they meet the

8588
05:08:25,711 --> 05:08:25,961
threshold of needing a child

8589
05:08:27,977 --> 05:08:28,227
welfare intervention based on

8590
05:08:29,711 --> 05:08:29,961
what we have been looking at

8591
05:08:31,711 --> 05:08:31,961
we've estimate being able to

8592
05:08:34,077 --> 05:08:34,327
serve somewhere between01200

8593
05:08:34,644 --> 05:08:34,894
families a

8594
05:08:36,511 --> 05:08:36,761
year through this model which

8595
05:08:37,077 --> 05:08:37,327
are

8596
05:08:40,177 --> 05:08:40,427
cases that are currently being

8597
05:08:42,411 --> 05:08:42,661
upcoded if you will to a child

8598
05:08:44,211 --> 05:08:44,461
welfare response when it's maybe

8599
05:08:45,977 --> 05:08:46,227
not necessary because of the

8600
05:08:47,744 --> 05:08:47,994
lower level prevention servicece

8601
05:08:49,744 --> 05:08:49,994
isn't available so we're we're

8602
05:08:51,477 --> 05:08:51,727
looking at this as an

8603
05:08:53,711 --> 05:08:53,961
opportunity to not only be

8604
05:08:54,277 --> 05:08:54,527
able to relieve

8605
05:08:59,711 --> 05:08:59,961
some of thecPS investigators in

8606
05:09:01,711 --> 05:09:01,961
their workload but also in

8607
05:09:03,511 --> 05:09:03,761
allowing them more time to focus

8608
05:09:05,711 --> 05:09:05,961
on the higher need cases but

8609
05:09:07,477 --> 05:09:07,727
also being able to more

8610
05:09:08,144 --> 05:09:08,394
informally and maybe a more

8611
05:09:10,144 --> 05:09:10,394
comfortable environment serve

8612
05:09:13,477 --> 05:09:13,727
families when it's really

8613
05:09:14,277 --> 05:09:14,527
more of a voluntary service that

8614
05:09:14,944 --> 05:09:15,194
doesn't have

8615
05:09:18,177 --> 05:09:18,427
the bere or pressure that

8616
05:09:19,977 --> 05:09:20,227
knowing you have a child open

8617
05:09:21,711 --> 05:09:21,961
child welfare investigation can

8618
05:09:23,744 --> 05:09:23,994
bring so that is one we're

8619
05:09:25,444 --> 05:09:25,694
planning on our goal is to have

8620
05:09:26,411 --> 05:09:26,661
that program up and running

8621
05:09:27,644 --> 05:09:27,894
by december of this year.

8622
05:09:34,711 --> 05:09:34,961
I don't know if there are any

8623
05:09:38,277 --> 05:09:38,527
particular questions at this

8624
05:09:43,811 --> 05:09:44,061
we'll keep going I

8625
05:09:47,444 --> 05:09:47,694
we only have two more slides

8626
05:09:49,511 --> 05:09:49,761
chairneal and so I'll just go

8627
05:09:50,077 --> 05:09:50,327
over these really quickly. This

8628
05:09:53,744 --> 05:09:53,994
is the another category under

8629
05:09:55,711 --> 05:09:55,961
the statute is early childhood

8630
05:09:58,177 --> 05:09:58,427
education and prek you know I

8631
05:10:00,211 --> 05:10:00,461
think you heard it's been some

8632
05:10:01,711 --> 05:10:01,961
we have so much intersection

8633
05:10:02,377 --> 05:10:02,627
between the systems

8634
05:10:05,744 --> 05:10:05,994
sometimes hard to divide up into

8635
05:10:07,711 --> 05:10:07,961
categories but this is one that

8636
05:10:09,711 --> 05:10:09,961
we've been doing since 22 since

8637
05:10:11,911 --> 05:10:12,161
the since the early days of this

8638
05:10:14,077 --> 05:10:14,327
funding that we have supported a

8639
05:10:16,111 --> 05:10:16,361
facility in the historic west

8640
05:10:18,077 --> 05:10:18,327
side of Las Vegas we helped

8641
05:10:19,911 --> 05:10:20,161
initially with capital

8642
05:10:22,144 --> 05:10:22,394
investment that allowed the

8643
05:10:25,511 --> 05:10:25,761
rainbowreams Learning academy to

8644
05:10:27,477 --> 05:10:27,727
to basically expand and so now

8645
05:10:29,477 --> 05:10:29,727
the ongoing funding that we have

8646
05:10:31,477 --> 05:10:31,727
been doing every year since then

8647
05:10:32,244 --> 05:10:32,494
has been to support the

8648
05:10:32,777 --> 05:10:33,027
operation of

8649
05:10:36,144 --> 05:10:36,394
this facility they serve

8650
05:10:38,111 --> 05:10:38,361
families and their goal is to

8651
05:10:40,111 --> 05:10:40,361
serve families with incomes

8652
05:10:42,111 --> 05:10:42,361
below 200% of the federal

8653
05:10:43,911 --> 05:10:44,161
poverty level and this has been

8654
05:10:45,477 --> 05:10:45,727
something that has been

8655
05:10:47,911 --> 05:10:48,161
consistent every year that

8656
05:10:49,911 --> 05:10:50,161
this has helped to support this

8657
05:10:52,144 --> 05:10:52,394
particular facility in an

8658
05:10:55,777 --> 05:10:56,027
area that really needed it at

8659
05:10:56,377 --> 05:10:56,627
that time

8660
05:10:58,277 --> 05:10:58,527
I will go to our final slide

8661
05:11:03,444 --> 05:11:03,694
which we added in this is

8662
05:11:05,444 --> 05:11:05,694
something that we invested in

8663
05:11:06,111 --> 05:11:06,361
I don't know how many of the

8664
05:11:07,677 --> 05:11:07,927
committee members are familiar

8665
05:11:09,877 --> 05:11:10,127
with our microbusiness park

8666
05:11:11,677 --> 05:11:11,927
it's been something that we've

8667
05:11:13,477 --> 05:11:13,727
been working on for multiple

8668
05:11:14,111 --> 05:11:14,361
years it's been supported

8669
05:11:15,911 --> 05:11:16,161
through multiple streams of

8670
05:11:17,677 --> 05:11:17,927
funding began with a

8671
05:11:19,744 --> 05:11:19,994
congressional appropriation many

8672
05:11:21,711 --> 05:11:21,961
years ago but it's very exciting

8673
05:11:23,711 --> 05:11:23,961
because it's actually coming to

8674
05:11:25,744 --> 05:11:25,994
it's actually happening now

8675
05:11:27,511 --> 05:11:27,761
we had a groundbreaking last

8676
05:11:28,544 --> 05:11:28,794
year and we are actively

8677
05:11:31,711 --> 05:11:31,961
really this is going to be

8678
05:11:33,711 --> 05:11:33,961
something that can debut very

8679
05:11:37,477 --> 05:11:37,727
shortly we contributed AB309

8680
05:11:38,144 --> 05:11:38,394
funding to the housing

8681
05:11:39,911 --> 05:11:40,161
component of this the

8682
05:11:41,944 --> 05:11:42,194
microbusiness park is a mixed

8683
05:11:45,444 --> 05:11:45,694
use development and it is

8684
05:11:47,677 --> 05:11:47,927
going to layer in housing and

8685
05:11:49,977 --> 05:11:50,227
commercial operations and retail

8686
05:11:52,211 --> 05:11:52,461
all in one facility so this

8687
05:11:53,944 --> 05:11:54,194
is something when we were

8688
05:11:55,477 --> 05:11:55,727
reporting on what how this

8689
05:11:56,177 --> 05:11:56,427
funding has been used then that

8690
05:11:57,911 --> 05:11:58,161
was layered in through our

8691
05:11:58,477 --> 05:11:58,727
community housing office

8692
05:12:01,911 --> 05:12:02,161
to support the development of

8693
05:12:05,477 --> 05:12:05,727
se6 affordable units and that's

8694
05:12:06,377 --> 05:12:06,627
targeting households between50

8695
05:12:09,911 --> 05:12:10,161
and80% of the AMI I will leave

8696
05:12:11,711 --> 05:12:11,961
it at that OK and that's the

8697
05:12:14,144 --> 05:12:14,394
that's our last slide and we

8698
05:12:15,677 --> 05:12:15,927
will stand for questions chair

8699
05:12:16,311 --> 05:12:16,561
now.

8700
05:12:18,044 --> 05:12:18,294
members any

8701
05:12:21,777 --> 05:12:22,027
assemblywoman anderson

8702
05:12:25,877 --> 05:12:26,127
thank you thank you for a very

8703
05:12:28,277 --> 05:12:28,527
detailed information but very

8704
05:12:28,911 --> 05:12:29,161
important programs

8705
05:12:31,711 --> 05:12:31,961
I'm reluctant to ask this

8706
05:12:33,477 --> 05:12:33,727
question for a few reasons the

8707
05:12:34,211 --> 05:12:34,461
most important being the safety

8708
05:12:35,611 --> 05:12:35,861
of our students are the most

8709
05:12:36,177 --> 05:12:36,427
important thing.

8710
05:12:39,477 --> 05:12:39,727
when it comes to the the prior

8711
05:12:41,477 --> 05:12:41,727
presentation it there was

8712
05:12:42,044 --> 05:12:42,294
information stated that

8713
05:12:44,144 --> 05:12:44,394
there had to be verification

8714
05:12:45,911 --> 05:12:46,161
that the individuals that were

8715
05:12:48,144 --> 05:12:48,394
participating were actual

8716
05:12:49,944 --> 05:12:50,194
citizens and or were here

8717
05:12:50,544 --> 05:12:50,794
legally.

8718
05:12:53,444 --> 05:12:53,694
when it comes to the truant

8719
05:12:54,144 --> 05:12:54,394
students is that same

8720
05:12:56,211 --> 05:12:56,461
requirement present or is this

8721
05:12:57,944 --> 05:12:58,194
because it's under a partnership

8722
05:12:59,477 --> 05:12:59,727
with Clark County School

8723
05:13:00,111 --> 05:13:00,361
District is is considered to be

8724
05:13:01,844 --> 05:13:02,094
a different

8725
05:13:06,411 --> 05:13:06,661
jill Moreno for the record and

8726
05:13:07,977 --> 05:13:08,227
chair through you to the

8727
05:13:10,211 --> 05:13:10,461
assemblywoman no because it's

8728
05:13:11,911 --> 05:13:12,161
EB309 funds they're not

8729
05:13:12,477 --> 05:13:12,727
restricted in that way.

8730
05:13:16,211 --> 05:13:16,461
I'll just add umerneal

8731
05:13:17,711 --> 05:13:17,961
assemblyman Anderson I think

8732
05:13:19,511 --> 05:13:19,761
that was the point those are

8733
05:13:20,477 --> 05:13:20,727
national changes that are

8734
05:13:21,977 --> 05:13:22,227
happening across this nation and

8735
05:13:23,744 --> 05:13:23,994
that's the importance of the

8736
05:13:25,977 --> 05:13:26,227
local funding and that we can

8737
05:13:27,977 --> 05:13:28,227
serve families and director

8738
05:13:29,477 --> 05:13:29,727
Sorenson talked about kind of

8739
05:13:30,211 --> 05:13:30,461
layering and braiding the

8740
05:13:31,811 --> 05:13:32,061
funding that is our approach

8741
05:13:32,377 --> 05:13:32,627
currently.

8742
05:13:35,711 --> 05:13:35,961
thank you so much and and I

8743
05:13:37,511 --> 05:13:37,761
would also like to just say how

8744
05:13:38,177 --> 05:13:38,427
much I

8745
05:13:39,744 --> 05:13:39,994
appreciatedrectorharrenson's

8746
05:13:41,711 --> 05:13:41,961
passion and obvious care for

8747
05:13:43,711 --> 05:13:43,961
people and the concerns that

8748
05:13:45,977 --> 05:13:46,227
were not stated that I think all

8749
05:13:46,677 --> 05:13:46,927
of us are thinking of which is

8750
05:13:48,011 --> 05:13:48,261
the fact that many individuals

8751
05:13:49,511 --> 05:13:49,761
could be trafficked pretty

8752
05:13:51,744 --> 05:13:51,994
easily without our being able to

8753
05:13:53,477 --> 05:13:53,727
help protect them so thank you

8754
05:13:55,511 --> 05:13:55,761
very much for for bringing that

8755
05:13:56,244 --> 05:13:56,494
information forward and for

8756
05:13:57,977 --> 05:13:58,227
making sure that we are aware of

8757
05:14:00,044 --> 05:14:00,294
the changes at the federal

8758
05:14:00,611 --> 05:14:00,861
government. thank you chairir.

8759
05:14:03,711 --> 05:14:03,961
thank you for that so I just

8760
05:14:05,511 --> 05:14:05,761
have two questions and then we

8761
05:14:06,177 --> 05:14:06,427
can close out this presentation

8762
05:14:07,944 --> 05:14:08,194
so when you guys were talking

8763
05:14:09,977 --> 05:14:10,227
about adult education maybe I

8764
05:14:11,777 --> 05:14:12,027
missed how much are you spending

8765
05:14:12,477 --> 05:14:12,727
on adult edd program?

8766
05:14:19,744 --> 05:14:19,994
Sureneal I am going back to the

8767
05:14:21,744 --> 05:14:21,994
slide real quick I don't cause I

8768
05:14:23,744 --> 05:14:23,994
don't know the numbers offhand

8769
05:14:24,444 --> 05:14:24,694
but director Sorerenson will

8770
05:14:25,111 --> 05:14:25,361
come in

8771
05:14:27,911 --> 05:14:28,161
I think this was on the form

8772
05:14:32,211 --> 05:14:32,461
for the culinary academy and

8773
05:14:33,777 --> 05:14:34,027
the betterment program the

8774
05:14:36,011 --> 05:14:36,261
allocation is4 million I

8775
05:14:37,511 --> 05:14:37,761
don't have the specific

8776
05:14:39,511 --> 05:14:39,761
breakdown between the program

8777
05:14:40,211 --> 05:14:40,461
and my notes at this point it's

8778
05:14:42,277 --> 05:14:42,527
on the betterment programme is

8779
05:14:45,511 --> 05:14:45,761
that is that is that countywide

8780
05:14:46,211 --> 05:14:46,461
or is that just culinary

8781
05:14:50,211 --> 05:14:50,461
the bettertment program is

8782
05:14:52,177 --> 05:14:52,427
countywide and so the people

8783
05:14:54,177 --> 05:14:54,427
that are admitted into that

8784
05:14:55,677 --> 05:14:55,927
program have to go through the

8785
05:14:56,311 --> 05:14:56,561
coordinated entry system.

8786
05:14:59,477 --> 05:14:59,727
and and I guess the thing is

8787
05:15:00,377 --> 05:15:00,627
that you know what I'm trying to

8788
05:15:01,077 --> 05:15:01,327
figure out is you know the

8789
05:15:05,744 --> 05:15:05,994
because it's not a total of 4

8790
05:15:07,644 --> 05:15:07,894
million. it must be split. how

8791
05:15:08,311 --> 05:15:08,561
much is the betterment?

8792
05:15:09,677 --> 05:15:09,927
Is it half? Is it 2 million?

8793
05:15:15,744 --> 05:15:15,994
I believe the betterment is

8794
05:15:17,744 --> 05:15:17,994
the program that receives a

8795
05:15:19,511 --> 05:15:19,761
higher portion of the funding

8796
05:15:20,277 --> 05:15:20,527
I'm sorry I don't have that

8797
05:15:22,311 --> 05:15:22,561
information in my notes but

8798
05:15:23,844 --> 05:15:24,094
we can certainly get back to you

8799
05:15:24,511 --> 05:15:24,761
with that breakdown.

8800
05:15:26,311 --> 05:15:26,561
are you guys receiving any other

8801
05:15:28,011 --> 05:15:28,261
additional funding for adult edd

8802
05:15:28,711 --> 05:15:28,961
or is this the sole

8803
05:15:32,844 --> 05:15:33,094
money that you're receiving for

8804
05:15:33,511 --> 05:15:33,761
adult education.

8805
05:15:42,177 --> 05:15:42,427
Ijamie Sorenson I I think in

8806
05:15:44,211 --> 05:15:44,461
most of our programs whether it

8807
05:15:47,977 --> 05:15:48,227
be extended foster care are

8808
05:15:49,844 --> 05:15:50,094
congregate are noncongregate

8809
05:15:50,511 --> 05:15:50,761
shelters

8810
05:15:53,511 --> 05:15:53,761
our outreach programs there

8811
05:15:55,744 --> 05:15:55,994
is typically a training

8812
05:15:58,244 --> 05:15:58,494
workforce development built into

8813
05:16:01,744 --> 05:16:01,994
all of those programs and so

8814
05:16:03,511 --> 05:16:03,761
there are some federal funds

8815
05:16:04,277 --> 05:16:04,527
applied to those programs as

8816
05:16:07,811 --> 05:16:08,061
well we are trying to position

8817
05:16:09,777 --> 05:16:10,027
people to be in permanent

8818
05:16:12,044 --> 05:16:12,294
housing in some shape or form

8819
05:16:13,777 --> 05:16:14,027
for them to do that they have to

8820
05:16:15,511 --> 05:16:15,761
be either tied to a benefit

8821
05:16:16,311 --> 05:16:16,561
program that supports them or

8822
05:16:18,077 --> 05:16:18,327
they need to be able to generate

8823
05:16:19,844 --> 05:16:20,094
an income and so it's one of the

8824
05:16:20,511 --> 05:16:20,761
pillars of

8825
05:16:23,977 --> 05:16:24,227
kind of the services that we run

8826
05:16:26,011 --> 05:16:26,261
across most of our system so

8827
05:16:26,577 --> 05:16:26,827
you're using you're getting some

8828
05:16:27,244 --> 05:16:27,494
we owe money.

8829
05:16:27,877 --> 05:16:28,127
in short

8830
05:16:29,644 --> 05:16:29,894
no

8831
05:16:35,944 --> 05:16:36,194
chairneal Joannajacob for the

8832
05:16:38,211 --> 05:16:38,461
record I think I think I'd

8833
05:16:40,211 --> 05:16:40,461
like to go back and because

8834
05:16:42,211 --> 05:16:42,461
that's there's a broad number of

8835
05:16:43,977 --> 05:16:44,227
category of funding so when you

8836
05:16:45,744 --> 05:16:45,994
ask if we're receiving any other

8837
05:16:47,977 --> 05:16:48,227
funding I think I wanna go

8838
05:16:49,977 --> 05:16:50,227
back and run that through our

8839
05:16:51,977 --> 05:16:52,227
budget office to find identify

8840
05:16:54,011 --> 05:16:54,261
any other funding sources or

8841
05:16:55,744 --> 05:16:55,994
it's or if it's due to a

8842
05:16:57,511 --> 05:16:57,761
partnership with another

8843
05:16:59,477 --> 05:16:59,727
organization in the community

8844
05:17:00,177 --> 05:17:00,427
we don't we do not have that

8845
05:17:02,244 --> 05:17:02,494
answer for you today so you know

8846
05:17:02,911 --> 05:17:03,161
I keep asking

8847
05:17:05,977 --> 05:17:06,227
about309 money right? I think

8848
05:17:07,977 --> 05:17:08,227
since it came into existence but

8849
05:17:09,777 --> 05:17:10,027
what I'm so since you're going

8850
05:17:10,444 --> 05:17:10,694
to ask a budget of questions

8851
05:17:11,777 --> 05:17:12,027
this is what I want to know

8852
05:17:13,511 --> 05:17:13,761
right because there seems to be

8853
05:17:14,211 --> 05:17:14,461
a duplication so the state

8854
05:17:17,677 --> 05:17:17,927
are allocation for 2526.

8855
05:17:20,511 --> 05:17:20,761
was roughly19 million that we

8856
05:17:21,177 --> 05:17:21,427
gave for adult education.

8857
05:17:25,977 --> 05:17:26,227
so if you're running through the

8858
05:17:27,877 --> 05:17:28,127
combined entry system

8859
05:17:31,744 --> 05:17:31,994
why do you need to be expending

8860
05:17:33,744 --> 05:17:33,994
dollars for something that it's

8861
05:17:35,711 --> 05:17:35,961
already a state allocated fund

8862
05:17:37,511 --> 05:17:37,761
that is going to adult ed that

8863
05:17:38,177 --> 05:17:38,427
is probably dropping into

8864
05:17:43,511 --> 05:17:43,761
the adult edd system that isn't

8865
05:17:44,277 --> 05:17:44,527
that is in Clark County or

8866
05:17:46,277 --> 05:17:46,527
affiliated with CcSd that's the

8867
05:17:46,944 --> 05:17:47,194
thing so if you can

8868
05:17:49,944 --> 05:17:50,194
get that answered because I

8869
05:17:51,777 --> 05:17:52,027
really want to know that I also

8870
05:17:52,444 --> 05:17:52,694
want to know when you're saying

8871
05:17:54,244 --> 05:17:54,494
on truancy that you're going and

8872
05:17:55,711 --> 05:17:55,961
you're like oh you know we went

8873
05:17:57,944 --> 05:17:58,194
and look for kids then then what

8874
05:17:59,944 --> 05:18:00,194
isccSd doing right because they

8875
05:18:02,244 --> 05:18:02,494
brought backccSd reconnect right

8876
05:18:03,511 --> 05:18:03,761
which they just did but under

8877
05:18:04,377 --> 05:18:04,627
the prior superintendent

8878
05:18:08,277 --> 05:18:08,527
I think it wasn'tjarra it was

8879
05:18:11,777 --> 05:18:12,027
the one before that they had

8880
05:18:13,477 --> 05:18:13,727
did the same thing right sos so

8881
05:18:14,444 --> 05:18:14,694
it wasn't new they're just like

8882
05:18:16,311 --> 05:18:16,561
ok soccSd is going to do the

8883
05:18:19,744 --> 05:18:19,994
work of finding kids and looking

8884
05:18:21,477 --> 05:18:21,727
for them in their house and

8885
05:18:23,744 --> 05:18:23,994
saying hey you should come back

8886
05:18:24,444 --> 05:18:24,694
to school today.

8887
05:18:24,844 --> 05:18:25,094
why are we duplicating

8888
05:18:28,211 --> 05:18:28,461
the effort and why are we

8889
05:18:30,211 --> 05:18:30,461
spending sales tax dollars that

8890
05:18:31,977 --> 05:18:32,227
could probably be used towards

8891
05:18:33,711 --> 05:18:33,961
something else. that's the first

8892
05:18:34,444 --> 05:18:34,694
question and you don't have to

8893
05:18:35,977 --> 05:18:36,227
answer it now because we're you

8894
05:18:37,744 --> 05:18:37,994
know we're running out of time

8895
05:18:39,977 --> 05:18:40,227
but I mean legit you guys have

8896
05:18:41,977 --> 05:18:42,227
the sales tax money and you have

8897
05:18:45,477 --> 05:18:45,727
a list of things that I'm like

8898
05:18:46,211 --> 05:18:46,461
I'm not sure if it's something

8899
05:18:47,744 --> 05:18:47,994
you should be doing or if

8900
05:18:49,711 --> 05:18:49,961
there's other money associated

8901
05:18:51,511 --> 05:18:51,761
with that task. you understand

8902
05:18:52,211 --> 05:18:52,461
what I'm saying? and the reason

8903
05:18:54,211 --> 05:18:54,461
probably why I'm harping on this

8904
05:18:55,877 --> 05:18:56,127
is because on one end right we

8905
05:18:56,544 --> 05:18:56,794
have RTc

8906
05:18:58,244 --> 05:18:58,494
it's a still affiliated with the

8907
05:18:59,744 --> 05:18:59,994
county it's part of the county

8908
05:19:01,877 --> 05:19:02,127
it's a political subdivision

8909
05:19:02,544 --> 05:19:02,794
within the county, correct?

8910
05:19:05,611 --> 05:19:05,861
what is RTc to you guys?

8911
05:19:10,144 --> 05:19:10,394
Cheneal it's notsegasneal I

8912
05:19:11,977 --> 05:19:12,227
think I want I should know

8913
05:19:13,977 --> 05:19:14,227
that I should know that Cherneal

8914
05:19:16,311 --> 05:19:16,561
they are I want to say

8915
05:19:17,977 --> 05:19:18,227
affiliated I think there are

8916
05:19:20,244 --> 05:19:20,494
designated multi I think they're

8917
05:19:22,444 --> 05:19:22,694
the planning organization for

8918
05:19:25,477 --> 05:19:25,727
Clark County but what is their

8919
05:19:28,177 --> 05:19:28,427
relationship to us I should I

8920
05:19:30,177 --> 05:19:30,427
guess I would say whether they

8921
05:19:33,477 --> 05:19:33,727
are part I wouldn't say that

8922
05:19:34,077 --> 05:19:34,327
they are separate agency

8923
05:19:35,844 --> 05:19:36,094
thanclark County. they cover

8924
05:19:36,411 --> 05:19:36,661
Clark County as

8925
05:19:40,177 --> 05:19:40,427
the county I'll see if if the

8926
05:19:41,511 --> 05:19:41,761
countyman would like to add

8927
05:19:42,211 --> 05:19:42,461
anything'll just simplify it

8928
05:19:43,744 --> 05:19:43,994
because another member has a

8929
05:19:45,744 --> 05:19:45,994
question there are a series of

8930
05:19:47,777 --> 05:19:48,027
things that you guys are

8931
05:19:48,277 --> 05:19:48,527
spending money on whether or not

8932
05:19:50,244 --> 05:19:50,494
you say you know homelessness

8933
05:19:52,444 --> 05:19:52,694
you know I get it but if there's

8934
05:19:54,144 --> 05:19:54,394
other money that's already being

8935
05:19:54,811 --> 05:19:55,061
used.

8936
05:19:58,144 --> 05:19:58,394
from other sources why are we

8937
05:19:58,811 --> 05:19:59,061
duplicating?

8938
05:20:01,744 --> 05:20:01,994
this sales tax money when there

8939
05:20:02,677 --> 05:20:02,927
are other needs in the county

8940
05:20:08,111 --> 05:20:08,361
that need to be addressed and

8941
05:20:11,711 --> 05:20:11,961
I know that there are

8942
05:20:12,577 --> 05:20:12,827
commissioners who go to this

8943
05:20:13,244 --> 05:20:13,494
fund

8944
05:20:15,977 --> 05:20:16,227
not then be like hey is there

8945
05:20:16,611 --> 05:20:16,861
any309 money can I use it for

8946
05:20:18,177 --> 05:20:18,427
blah blah right

8947
05:20:19,877 --> 05:20:20,127
and

8948
05:20:23,744 --> 05:20:23,994
and I've always called it you

8949
05:20:25,977 --> 05:20:26,227
know some negative term but

8950
05:20:28,011 --> 05:20:28,261
ultimately if if there is

8951
05:20:31,477 --> 05:20:31,727
already money going towards a

8952
05:20:32,277 --> 05:20:32,527
particular thing such as

8953
05:20:35,844 --> 05:20:36,094
whatccSd is supposed to be doing

8954
05:20:36,511 --> 05:20:36,761
with their money

8955
05:20:39,677 --> 05:20:39,927
then why are we duplicating and

8956
05:20:41,977 --> 05:20:42,227
overacting in a space that they

8957
05:20:42,644 --> 05:20:42,894
are supposed to be working in.

8958
05:20:46,211 --> 05:20:46,461
and I feel like that needs to be

8959
05:20:47,977 --> 05:20:48,227
dealt with because if there's if

8960
05:20:50,177 --> 05:20:50,427
if we're if if RTc and and you

8961
05:20:52,211 --> 05:20:52,461
can say like ORTc isn't a part

8962
05:20:54,211 --> 05:20:54,461
of our life but if Rtc is saying

8963
05:20:55,977 --> 05:20:56,227
hey you know we may not be able

8964
05:20:59,511 --> 05:20:59,761
to give rides after 228 or 2029

8965
05:21:01,511 --> 05:21:01,761
but then there's a conversation

8966
05:21:03,777 --> 05:21:04,027
hey don't touch the309 money

8967
05:21:05,977 --> 05:21:06,227
right? don't even it's80 million

8968
05:21:08,211 --> 05:21:08,461
dollars and at no point have we

8969
05:21:10,244 --> 05:21:10,494
ever had a conversation about

8970
05:21:12,377 --> 05:21:12,627
should we reorganize the statute

8971
05:21:13,044 --> 05:21:13,294
from 2019

8972
05:21:18,244 --> 05:21:18,494
and recateegorize what we should

8973
05:21:19,511 --> 05:21:19,761
be using it for because that's

8974
05:21:20,211 --> 05:21:20,461
really what my goal is which is

8975
05:21:23,744 --> 05:21:23,994
is it really you know you can

8976
05:21:25,511 --> 05:21:25,761
keep homelessness in. I'm not

8977
05:21:26,177 --> 05:21:26,427
sure if truancy should be in

8978
05:21:27,977 --> 05:21:28,227
there right and if this is set

8979
05:21:29,711 --> 05:21:29,961
up to pay for the harbor we

8980
05:21:31,477 --> 05:21:31,727
probably need a whole another

8981
05:21:32,111 --> 05:21:32,361
conversation on juvenile justice

8982
05:21:32,777 --> 05:21:33,027
money

8983
05:21:33,027 --> 05:21:33,277
but

8984
05:21:37,477 --> 05:21:37,727
if there are duplicate services

8985
05:21:38,244 --> 05:21:38,494
that are the responsibility of

8986
05:21:41,744 --> 05:21:41,994
some other group that is getting

8987
05:21:43,744 --> 05:21:43,994
taxpayer money why are we

8988
05:21:44,444 --> 05:21:44,694
overlaying it with some sub

8989
05:21:45,944 --> 05:21:46,194
effort that they actually should

8990
05:21:46,644 --> 05:21:46,894
be doing.

8991
05:21:49,977 --> 05:21:50,227
and just reorganize go back in

8992
05:21:51,711 --> 05:21:51,961
and I want you to really think

8993
05:21:52,477 --> 05:21:52,727
about this. go back in and

8994
05:21:56,244 --> 05:21:56,494
change377d present a bill or I

8995
05:21:58,011 --> 05:21:58,261
present it for you and say hey

8996
05:21:59,744 --> 05:21:59,994
this is the new category because

8997
05:22:00,444 --> 05:22:00,694
you know I already tried that

8998
05:22:02,211 --> 05:22:02,461
right and you guys were like oh

8999
05:22:03,977 --> 05:22:04,227
don't touch my money and I was

9000
05:22:04,677 --> 05:22:04,927
just like I'm not sure it is

9001
05:22:05,677 --> 05:22:05,927
your money it's taxpayer money.

9002
05:22:09,744 --> 05:22:09,994
for the record, Kevinchiller

9003
05:22:10,544 --> 05:22:10,794
county manager to

9004
05:22:14,011 --> 05:22:14,261
somewhat directly answer your

9005
05:22:15,744 --> 05:22:15,994
question and I think I'll I'll

9006
05:22:16,411 --> 05:22:16,661
reference back to the initial

9007
05:22:17,077 --> 05:22:17,327
slides so

9008
05:22:19,944 --> 05:22:20,194
I showed you the bar graph where

9009
05:22:21,744 --> 05:22:21,994
the expenditures are exceeding

9010
05:22:23,977 --> 05:22:24,227
the revenues. OK so by default

9011
05:22:25,744 --> 05:22:25,994
there's going to be a triage at

9012
05:22:27,477 --> 05:22:27,727
some point related to those

9013
05:22:29,477 --> 05:22:29,727
services and related to who

9014
05:22:30,211 --> 05:22:30,461
we're serving so to your point

9015
05:22:31,944 --> 05:22:32,194
on your question of duplication,

9016
05:22:33,711 --> 05:22:33,961
I won't argue with you a second

9017
05:22:35,477 --> 05:22:35,727
about the duplication of

9018
05:22:36,411 --> 05:22:36,661
services if there's funding

9019
05:22:36,944 --> 05:22:37,194
coming in

9020
05:22:39,944 --> 05:22:40,194
and we're duplicating that

9021
05:22:41,477 --> 05:22:41,727
service we should be able to

9022
05:22:43,711 --> 05:22:43,961
give you that answer. The only

9023
05:22:45,477 --> 05:22:45,727
caution I have for you is when

9024
05:22:46,111 --> 05:22:46,361
we triage those services and you

9025
05:22:48,144 --> 05:22:48,394
look at this as a collective

9026
05:22:50,177 --> 05:22:50,427
service continuum there are

9027
05:22:51,944 --> 05:22:52,194
there are waterfall effects and

9028
05:22:53,711 --> 05:22:53,961
domino effects tied to different

9029
05:22:55,911 --> 05:22:56,161
components so I think we're

9030
05:22:57,744 --> 05:22:57,994
happy to come back to you with

9031
05:22:59,477 --> 05:22:59,727
exactly what our generated

9032
05:23:01,477 --> 05:23:01,727
funding revenues look like in

9033
05:23:02,144 --> 05:23:02,394
those specific categories so you

9034
05:23:03,977 --> 05:23:04,227
can see where those dollars are

9035
05:23:05,944 --> 05:23:06,194
being generated from or passing

9036
05:23:06,677 --> 05:23:06,927
through to us or not passing

9037
05:23:07,244 --> 05:23:07,494
through to us

9038
05:23:09,711 --> 05:23:09,961
and also the programmatic

9039
05:23:10,277 --> 05:23:10,527
relationship between the

9040
05:23:10,811 --> 05:23:11,061
entities

9041
05:23:13,511 --> 05:23:13,761
so I'm just gonna to use truancy

9042
05:23:15,677 --> 05:23:15,927
as the example we can look at

9043
05:23:17,711 --> 05:23:17,961
that and we can tell you what

9044
05:23:18,344 --> 05:23:18,594
lane is the school district in

9045
05:23:20,111 --> 05:23:20,361
what lane were we in? I know on

9046
05:23:22,144 --> 05:23:22,394
the initial drafting of teapop

9047
05:23:24,144 --> 05:23:24,394
and when that initially started

9048
05:23:25,711 --> 05:23:25,961
there was a coordinated effort

9049
05:23:27,477 --> 05:23:27,727
between whose efforts were doing

9050
05:23:29,744 --> 05:23:29,994
what in those categories but I'm

9051
05:23:31,477 --> 05:23:31,727
certainly happy to do that

9052
05:23:32,011 --> 05:23:32,261
because if we have to triage

9053
05:23:33,711 --> 05:23:33,961
services we don't want to be

9054
05:23:35,944 --> 05:23:36,194
duplicating dollars anyway so

9055
05:23:36,611 --> 05:23:36,861
happy to put that on the record.

9056
05:23:42,544 --> 05:23:42,794
assemblyman toil oh who

9057
05:23:43,111 --> 05:23:43,361
similarly onemosca

9058
05:23:47,477 --> 05:23:47,727
thank you so much chair and

9059
05:23:48,044 --> 05:23:48,294
thank you I'm sorry if I missed

9060
05:23:49,711 --> 05:23:49,961
it you know here in east Las

9061
05:23:50,277 --> 05:23:50,527
Vegas of course homelessness is

9062
05:23:51,944 --> 05:23:52,194
the number one issue that we

9063
05:23:53,711 --> 05:23:53,961
hear about and I know of all

9064
05:23:55,711 --> 05:23:55,961
your efforts and keeping us

9065
05:23:57,711 --> 05:23:57,961
updatedunhaven here right here

9066
05:23:59,977 --> 05:24:00,227
on the east side I think it's

9067
05:24:01,677 --> 05:24:01,927
going well because it's perman s

9068
05:24:03,711 --> 05:24:03,961
permanent supportive housing can

9069
05:24:04,377 --> 05:24:04,627
you talk about what is the

9070
05:24:06,144 --> 05:24:06,394
funding structure that is being

9071
05:24:08,311 --> 05:24:08,561
used that allows folks to stay

9072
05:24:08,977 --> 05:24:09,227
there ongoing

9073
05:24:11,944 --> 05:24:12,194
and what we need to do to

9074
05:24:13,511 --> 05:24:13,761
increase it or where is that

9075
05:24:14,144 --> 05:24:14,394
coming from so we could

9076
05:24:14,711 --> 05:24:14,961
duplicate it

9077
05:24:18,244 --> 05:24:18,494
Joannajacob for the record we

9078
05:24:22,011 --> 05:24:22,261
just I believe Chaneal the

9079
05:24:23,544 --> 05:24:23,794
assemblyman must got cut out

9080
05:24:24,277 --> 05:24:24,527
just as she was telling us the

9081
05:24:26,011 --> 05:24:26,261
name of the location that she

9082
05:24:27,744 --> 05:24:27,994
was asking about so could I ask

9083
05:24:29,544 --> 05:24:29,794
if assemblyman masca could

9084
05:24:31,544 --> 05:24:31,794
you repeat that just so we can

9085
05:24:32,177 --> 05:24:32,427
we can answer your question

9086
05:24:34,211 --> 05:24:34,461
at sunhaven at the one right

9087
05:24:34,811 --> 05:24:35,061
here

9088
05:24:35,944 --> 05:24:36,194
the ovation one

9089
05:24:38,211 --> 05:24:38,461
ovation

9090
05:24:40,077 --> 05:24:40,327
the the sunhaven

9091
05:24:44,244 --> 05:24:44,494
yes joannajacobs for the

9092
05:24:47,511 --> 05:24:47,761
record I think ovation ovation

9093
05:24:50,011 --> 05:24:50,261
partnership is funded through I

9094
05:24:52,277 --> 05:24:52,527
believe and I will want to go

9095
05:24:55,744 --> 05:24:55,994
back and confirm but the

9096
05:24:57,777 --> 05:24:58,027
ovation is a partner of our

9097
05:24:59,744 --> 05:24:59,994
community housing office and the

9098
05:25:02,244 --> 05:25:02,494
funding source is a is our

9099
05:25:04,011 --> 05:25:04,261
community land trust programs

9100
05:25:05,744 --> 05:25:05,994
that runs through our director

9101
05:25:07,777 --> 05:25:08,027
Dagney Stapleton. the funding

9102
05:25:10,044 --> 05:25:10,294
source originally on that bucket

9103
05:25:10,677 --> 05:25:10,927
of money was

9104
05:25:13,744 --> 05:25:13,994
funding it was actuallyARS A

9105
05:25:15,744 --> 05:25:15,994
funding because our loss due to

9106
05:25:18,211 --> 05:25:18,461
covid exceeded like we were able

9107
05:25:20,244 --> 05:25:20,494
to file under the treasury rules

9108
05:25:22,011 --> 05:25:22,261
at that time for revenue loss

9109
05:25:24,011 --> 05:25:24,261
for our community and then we

9110
05:25:26,077 --> 05:25:26,327
put it into Clark County we've

9111
05:25:26,744 --> 05:25:26,994
trans

9112
05:25:29,944 --> 05:25:30,194
we were able to move it into

9113
05:25:31,477 --> 05:25:31,727
Clark County general Fund and

9114
05:25:33,511 --> 05:25:33,761
with that funding we were able

9115
05:25:34,211 --> 05:25:34,461
to because a lot of other

9116
05:25:36,011 --> 05:25:36,261
entities took it for their

9117
05:25:37,744 --> 05:25:37,994
general fund we were able to

9118
05:25:39,711 --> 05:25:39,961
move that into the funding that

9119
05:25:40,411 --> 05:25:40,661
set up our community housing

9120
05:25:42,477 --> 05:25:42,727
office and set up our community

9121
05:25:45,544 --> 05:25:45,794
land trust and and a lot of

9122
05:25:46,244 --> 05:25:46,494
programs are funded through that

9123
05:25:47,711 --> 05:25:47,961
office and with that funding

9124
05:25:49,977 --> 05:25:50,227
source I see countyman it wants

9125
05:25:53,477 --> 05:25:53,727
to add an additional note for

9126
05:25:54,077 --> 05:25:54,327
the record Kevin Scher county

9127
05:25:55,511 --> 05:25:55,761
manager just to give you a

9128
05:25:56,144 --> 05:25:56,394
direct answer

9129
05:25:59,944 --> 05:26:00,194
joanna's explanation is correct.

9130
05:26:01,977 --> 05:26:02,227
we freed up dollars that

9131
05:26:03,777 --> 05:26:04,027
we're able to invest into our

9132
05:26:06,211 --> 05:26:06,461
community housing fund but that

9133
05:26:07,744 --> 05:26:07,994
program and other programs where

9134
05:26:09,511 --> 05:26:09,761
we've been able to stand up that

9135
05:26:10,244 --> 05:26:10,494
housing has all been lasagna

9136
05:26:12,444 --> 05:26:12,694
layered so in some instances it

9137
05:26:13,977 --> 05:26:14,227
may involve state housing funds

9138
05:26:15,744 --> 05:26:15,994
that you all are approving and

9139
05:26:17,977 --> 05:26:18,227
those come in to us we may we we

9140
05:26:20,211 --> 05:26:20,461
basically layer that funding so

9141
05:26:21,977 --> 05:26:22,227
we can get more projects on the

9142
05:26:22,711 --> 05:26:22,961
street of similar fashion.

9143
05:26:31,977 --> 05:26:32,227
OK well that closes it out

9144
05:26:33,511 --> 05:26:33,761
thank you guys for coming with

9145
05:26:34,177 --> 05:26:34,427
the presentation we'll

9146
05:26:34,644 --> 05:26:34,894
definitely talk offline

9147
05:26:39,711 --> 05:26:39,961
we will now close this

9148
05:26:40,311 --> 05:26:40,561
presentation on

9149
05:26:42,444 --> 05:26:42,694
close presentation numbers

9150
05:26:46,411 --> 05:26:46,661
and then we'll move to number 9

9151
05:26:50,244 --> 05:26:50,494
and then after that work session

9152
05:26:58,244 --> 05:26:58,494
we need to try to do Mr Nakamoto

9153
05:27:00,011 --> 05:27:00,261
after the property tax we need

9154
05:27:02,011 --> 05:27:02,261
to try to do work session and

9155
05:27:04,277 --> 05:27:04,527
then with folks are not here we

9156
05:27:04,977 --> 05:27:05,227
can do the year to date

9157
05:27:05,511 --> 05:27:05,761
collection.

9158
05:27:19,777 --> 05:27:20,027
OK so just to give a little

9159
05:27:20,344 --> 05:27:20,594
background even though you guys

9160
05:27:21,744 --> 05:27:21,994
are like why are we doing

9161
05:27:23,944 --> 05:27:24,194
property tax last hour anyway

9162
05:27:29,744 --> 05:27:29,994
in 2022 we did this presentation

9163
05:27:31,477 --> 05:27:31,727
the reason why I was bringing it

9164
05:27:32,211 --> 05:27:32,461
back because there was

9165
05:27:35,477 --> 05:27:35,727
conversation politically about

9166
05:27:36,211 --> 05:27:36,461
oh we should bring back a

9167
05:27:37,977 --> 05:27:38,227
property tax study and I'm just

9168
05:27:40,077 --> 05:27:40,327
like no we shouldn't

9169
05:27:42,444 --> 05:27:42,694
that the questions that are

9170
05:27:44,277 --> 05:27:44,527
being asked and answered were

9171
05:27:47,744 --> 05:27:47,994
already in the 2022 record so we

9172
05:27:49,744 --> 05:27:49,994
are now putting it back into the

9173
05:27:51,944 --> 05:27:52,194
record for 2026 so the new sets

9174
05:27:53,744 --> 05:27:53,994
of legislators can like have

9175
05:27:55,511 --> 05:27:55,761
this information in the toolkit

9176
05:27:57,744 --> 05:27:57,994
and say oh well this is this

9177
05:28:00,011 --> 05:28:00,261
will be option A through h

9178
05:28:01,511 --> 05:28:01,761
whether or not it's feasible or

9179
05:28:03,511 --> 05:28:03,761
not feasible is the political

9180
05:28:05,977 --> 05:28:06,227
decision but ultimately to

9181
05:28:06,611 --> 05:28:06,861
prevent another bill coming

9182
05:28:08,011 --> 05:28:08,261
through the legislature saying

9183
05:28:09,844 --> 05:28:10,094
oh we should do a study no we

9184
05:28:12,477 --> 05:28:12,727
already have the answerjeremy

9185
05:28:14,277 --> 05:28:14,527
aguero did a study like I think

9186
05:28:17,744 --> 05:28:17,994
2015 then there was another one

9187
05:28:20,244 --> 05:28:20,494
later we did want we did a whole

9188
05:28:22,011 --> 05:28:22,261
analysis and so I'm putting it

9189
05:28:23,511 --> 05:28:23,761
back on the record for that

9190
05:28:24,477 --> 05:28:24,727
reason. We should not spend

9191
05:28:25,711 --> 05:28:25,961
another hot dime OK?

9192
05:28:29,511 --> 05:28:29,761
or six pennies on another

9193
05:28:31,477 --> 05:28:31,727
property tax study because we

9194
05:28:32,277 --> 05:28:32,527
know what the answer is we just

9195
05:28:34,011 --> 05:28:34,261
don't politically want to do any

9196
05:28:36,477 --> 05:28:36,727
of these solutions so that's

9197
05:28:37,744 --> 05:28:37,994
where it is that's why we're

9198
05:28:39,511 --> 05:28:39,761
doing this presentation it's

9199
05:28:41,777 --> 05:28:42,027
purely educational we don't you

9200
05:28:43,744 --> 05:28:43,994
can ask questions you cannot ask

9201
05:28:46,044 --> 05:28:46,294
questions but I know that for

9202
05:28:47,744 --> 05:28:47,994
the future you can't be like it

9203
05:28:49,511 --> 05:28:49,761
doesn't exist it will be in the

9204
05:28:51,511 --> 05:28:51,761
record for the future. Thank you

9205
05:28:52,244 --> 05:28:52,494
Mr Nakamoto. you go.

9206
05:28:55,711 --> 05:28:55,961
thank you madam chairirmi

9207
05:28:57,511 --> 05:28:57,761
Nakamoto with fiscal analysis

9208
05:28:58,211 --> 05:28:58,461
division for the record did you

9209
05:28:59,877 --> 05:29:00,127
just do my presentation for me

9210
05:29:08,011 --> 05:29:08,261
no

9211
05:29:11,744 --> 05:29:11,994
no she did not thank you

9212
05:29:14,277 --> 05:29:14,527
madam chair all of the

9213
05:29:16,244 --> 05:29:16,494
members and they are on the

9214
05:29:18,244 --> 05:29:18,494
the committee's page our website

9215
05:29:20,311 --> 05:29:20,561
for this meeting have a stack of

9216
05:29:22,077 --> 05:29:22,327
documents that we put together

9217
05:29:24,344 --> 05:29:24,594
this started as a fairly simple

9218
05:29:26,344 --> 05:29:26,594
request from the chair to go

9219
05:29:28,311 --> 05:29:28,561
through some scenarios on

9220
05:29:30,311 --> 05:29:30,561
changes to property tax or

9221
05:29:31,544 --> 05:29:31,794
potential changes to property

9222
05:29:34,311 --> 05:29:34,561
tax and as time went on it kind

9223
05:29:35,677 --> 05:29:35,927
of grew I

9224
05:29:38,277 --> 05:29:38,527
don't plan on going through all

9225
05:29:39,977 --> 05:29:40,227
I think it's53 pages that I put

9226
05:29:42,044 --> 05:29:42,294
together because nobody has time

9227
05:29:42,711 --> 05:29:42,961
or patience to listen to me that

9228
05:29:43,411 --> 05:29:43,661
long

9229
05:29:46,277 --> 05:29:46,527
but I do want to spend a little

9230
05:29:48,011 --> 05:29:48,261
bit of time walking through

9231
05:29:49,744 --> 05:29:49,994
everything just to kind of set

9232
05:29:52,311 --> 05:29:52,561
the stage and so what I have

9233
05:29:54,011 --> 05:29:54,261
up on the screen now and it has

9234
05:29:56,011 --> 05:29:56,261
shown up it's table one and this

9235
05:29:58,044 --> 05:29:58,294
is the the fir the good place to

9236
05:30:00,277 --> 05:30:00,527
start and basically this lays

9237
05:30:02,277 --> 05:30:02,527
out line by line how property

9238
05:30:04,077 --> 05:30:04,327
tax works in the state of Nevada

9239
05:30:04,811 --> 05:30:05,061
we have

9240
05:30:09,511 --> 05:30:09,761
to put it kindly a rather

9241
05:30:12,011 --> 05:30:12,261
complicated system as it relates

9242
05:30:14,044 --> 05:30:14,294
to property tax. of many

9243
05:30:16,277 --> 05:30:16,527
states do something relating to

9244
05:30:19,477 --> 05:30:19,727
the market value or cash value

9245
05:30:21,777 --> 05:30:22,027
of of property and that's how

9246
05:30:23,744 --> 05:30:23,994
you base the property tax on

9247
05:30:25,544 --> 05:30:25,794
you apply a rate to that cash

9248
05:30:27,811 --> 05:30:28,061
value. how that grows or what

9249
05:30:29,811 --> 05:30:30,061
goes into that it can vary from

9250
05:30:31,744 --> 05:30:31,994
state to state umnevada though

9251
05:30:35,511 --> 05:30:35,761
does not do a full cash value on

9252
05:30:36,177 --> 05:30:36,427
the property they

9253
05:30:38,044 --> 05:30:38,294
have a we have a different

9254
05:30:40,011 --> 05:30:40,261
system here and so this table

9255
05:30:43,544 --> 05:30:43,794
table one is walking through

9256
05:30:44,311 --> 05:30:44,561
using three different fiscal

9257
05:30:46,277 --> 05:30:46,527
years for an actual single

9258
05:30:48,277 --> 05:30:48,527
family owner occupied home that

9259
05:30:50,277 --> 05:30:50,527
is located in the city of Reno

9260
05:30:52,277 --> 05:30:52,527
and I know this because it's my

9261
05:30:54,311 --> 05:30:54,561
house and I figured this was the

9262
05:30:55,777 --> 05:30:56,027
easiest way to explain it. I

9263
05:30:57,511 --> 05:30:57,761
will go to the assessor's

9264
05:30:58,244 --> 05:30:58,494
website in fact, I had to

9265
05:31:00,044 --> 05:31:00,294
contact the assessor to get some

9266
05:31:02,044 --> 05:31:02,294
information but I'm walking

9267
05:31:03,811 --> 05:31:04,061
through step by step how the

9268
05:31:05,844 --> 05:31:06,094
assessment of property tax on my

9269
05:31:06,544 --> 05:31:06,794
house works.

9270
05:31:10,211 --> 05:31:10,461
and so one what I basically

9271
05:31:12,277 --> 05:31:12,527
started with is how the first

9272
05:31:14,011 --> 05:31:14,261
thing you actually have to start

9273
05:31:15,977 --> 05:31:16,227
with is determining the value of

9274
05:31:18,244 --> 05:31:18,494
the house and so I I mentioned

9275
05:31:20,477 --> 05:31:20,727
in other states thator I think

9276
05:31:21,977 --> 05:31:22,227
is a good example. You use the

9277
05:31:23,744 --> 05:31:23,994
market value or the full cash

9278
05:31:26,011 --> 05:31:26,261
value of the property to

9279
05:31:27,744 --> 05:31:27,994
determine what the property tax

9280
05:31:30,211 --> 05:31:30,461
is. Nevada we do that but only

9281
05:31:32,477 --> 05:31:32,727
for the land. so the land that

9282
05:31:34,277 --> 05:31:34,527
the property or that your parcel

9283
05:31:35,877 --> 05:31:36,127
that you own that your house or

9284
05:31:36,577 --> 05:31:36,827
whatever improvement

9285
05:31:39,511 --> 05:31:39,761
that you have that sits on is

9286
05:31:41,511 --> 05:31:41,761
based on the full cash value and

9287
05:31:45,777 --> 05:31:46,027
so in Nrs361227 subsection

9288
05:31:47,977 --> 05:31:48,227
one paragraph a it's it lays out

9289
05:31:50,244 --> 05:31:50,494
full cash value and if it's an

9290
05:31:52,011 --> 05:31:52,261
improved parcel it is for the

9291
05:31:54,277 --> 05:31:54,527
use to which it's being put if

9292
05:31:56,244 --> 05:31:56,494
it is a vacant parcel, it is the

9293
05:31:58,211 --> 05:31:58,461
highest and best use that could

9294
05:32:00,211 --> 05:32:00,461
be used so if it's

9295
05:32:02,244 --> 05:32:02,494
agricultural land it is assessed

9296
05:32:04,277 --> 05:32:04,527
as agricultural use for my house

9297
05:32:05,844 --> 05:32:06,094
it is a single family parcel so

9298
05:32:09,777 --> 05:32:10,027
it is a is based as such at

9299
05:32:11,744 --> 05:32:11,994
its full cash value that is what

9300
05:32:14,244 --> 05:32:14,494
it would sell for and so the

9301
05:32:15,977 --> 05:32:16,227
what the assessor has to

9302
05:32:17,744 --> 05:32:17,994
determine is what is known as

9303
05:32:19,744 --> 05:32:19,994
the taxable value of the parcel.

9304
05:32:21,744 --> 05:32:21,994
so you can see in line one the

9305
05:32:24,244 --> 05:32:24,494
the values that were given to my

9306
05:32:27,511 --> 05:32:27,761
parcel based on the the full

9307
05:32:29,977 --> 05:32:30,227
cash value for fy s 2025 through

9308
05:32:30,644 --> 05:32:30,894
Fy2027.

9309
05:32:35,477 --> 05:32:35,727
on line three you can see

9310
05:32:37,777 --> 05:32:38,027
something noted as improvements

9311
05:32:39,744 --> 05:32:39,994
less depreciation and this is

9312
05:32:42,044 --> 05:32:42,294
where property tax deviates in

9313
05:32:44,077 --> 05:32:44,327
Nevada compared to other states

9314
05:32:46,277 --> 05:32:46,527
rather than you know having your

9315
05:32:49,477 --> 05:32:49,727
improvements assessed at the

9316
05:32:50,277 --> 05:32:50,527
full cash value or the market

9317
05:32:52,277 --> 05:32:52,527
value of the improvement. it

9318
05:32:54,311 --> 05:32:54,561
is based on replacement cost

9319
05:32:56,311 --> 05:32:56,561
that is what it would cost to

9320
05:32:59,777 --> 05:33:00,027
build a similar structure based

9321
05:33:00,477 --> 05:33:00,727
on whatever is part

9322
05:33:04,277 --> 05:33:04,527
of that house, so my house is a

9323
05:33:07,511 --> 05:33:07,761
split level, it has 3 bedrooms,3

9324
05:33:09,777 --> 05:33:10,027
bathrooms, all kinds of

9325
05:33:10,511 --> 05:33:10,761
things that actually has a roof

9326
05:33:11,711 --> 05:33:11,961
a detached garage

9327
05:33:14,277 --> 05:33:14,527
anything that a house would

9328
05:33:17,544 --> 05:33:17,794
have there is a manual that gets

9329
05:33:18,277 --> 05:33:18,527
used by each of the county

9330
05:33:20,011 --> 05:33:20,261
assessors it's the marshall and

9331
05:33:22,244 --> 05:33:22,494
Swift cost handbook and this

9332
05:33:24,277 --> 05:33:24,527
book goes through and and talks

9333
05:33:26,244 --> 05:33:26,494
about for any feature that your

9334
05:33:28,244 --> 05:33:28,494
house may have based on what is

9335
05:33:29,777 --> 05:33:30,027
there and what the quality is of

9336
05:33:32,277 --> 05:33:32,527
it what it would cost to build

9337
05:33:35,777 --> 05:33:36,027
something comparable right now

9338
05:33:38,044 --> 05:33:38,294
and so that is what the assessor

9339
05:33:40,011 --> 05:33:40,261
is determined to or is required

9340
05:33:41,877 --> 05:33:42,127
to do for each parcel in their

9341
05:33:42,544 --> 05:33:42,794
count

9342
05:33:45,977 --> 05:33:46,227
y all across the state of

9343
05:33:47,544 --> 05:33:47,794
Nevada. then what they are

9344
05:33:49,777 --> 05:33:50,027
supposed to do is reduce that

9345
05:33:52,244 --> 05:33:52,494
amount by depreciation in

9346
05:33:55,744 --> 05:33:55,994
that in subsexual or par

9347
05:33:58,011 --> 05:33:58,261
subsection b or paragraph B of

9348
05:34:00,277 --> 05:34:00,527
subsection one of NRS361.227.

9349
05:34:02,044 --> 05:34:02,294
they reduced the replacement

9350
05:34:05,777 --> 05:34:06,027
costs of the improvements by1.5%

9351
05:34:08,277 --> 05:34:08,527
per year up to5y years based on

9352
05:34:10,544 --> 05:34:10,794
the age of the house. My house

9353
05:34:11,844 --> 05:34:12,094
was built in1966

9354
05:34:16,277 --> 05:34:16,527
so it it we are past 50 years so

9355
05:34:18,044 --> 05:34:18,294
my house is fully depreciated

9356
05:34:22,011 --> 05:34:22,261
under this law. so75% or1.5%

9357
05:34:25,744 --> 05:34:25,994
times 50 years75% of the value

9358
05:34:27,744 --> 05:34:27,994
of the replacement costs the

9359
05:34:29,711 --> 05:34:29,961
improvements is taken off in

9360
05:34:30,277 --> 05:34:30,527
terms of

9361
05:34:33,811 --> 05:34:34,061
determining the taxable value of

9362
05:34:37,777 --> 05:34:38,027
my parcel so you can see in line

9363
05:34:39,511 --> 05:34:39,761
five that's the replacement cost

9364
05:34:40,277 --> 05:34:40,527
that was determined by the

9365
05:34:43,544 --> 05:34:43,794
county assessor in linene seven

9366
05:34:45,777 --> 05:34:46,027
you can see the75% depreciation

9367
05:34:47,511 --> 05:34:47,761
factor because my house is60

9368
05:34:50,011 --> 05:34:50,261
years old and then you

9369
05:34:52,277 --> 05:34:52,527
multiply the linene five by

9370
05:34:54,077 --> 05:34:54,327
linenese and that is the full

9371
05:34:55,644 --> 05:34:55,894
depreciation is linene eight

9372
05:34:59,744 --> 05:34:59,994
and so then linene five minus

9373
05:35:02,011 --> 05:35:02,261
line8 is what you get for the

9374
05:35:03,911 --> 05:35:04,161
improvements less depreciation

9375
05:35:04,577 --> 05:35:04,827
on line3.

9376
05:35:08,011 --> 05:35:08,261
and so when the taxable value of

9377
05:35:09,677 --> 05:35:09,927
the parcel is determined

9378
05:35:14,011 --> 05:35:14,261
before and after depreciation

9379
05:35:16,011 --> 05:35:16,261
that's what you see on linenes11

9380
05:35:18,244 --> 05:35:18,494
and line 13 and so it's linene

9381
05:35:20,211 --> 05:35:20,461
13 that really matters for

9382
05:35:22,244 --> 05:35:22,494
determining the property tax

9383
05:35:24,244 --> 05:35:24,494
bill because depreciation is

9384
05:35:26,511 --> 05:35:26,761
factored out. So when you add

9385
05:35:29,511 --> 05:35:29,761
lines one and three you get line

9386
05:35:31,777 --> 05:35:32,027
13 and that is ultimately the

9387
05:35:34,011 --> 05:35:34,261
value to which the taxable value

9388
05:35:36,011 --> 05:35:36,261
to which the property tax would

9389
05:35:38,244 --> 05:35:38,494
apply. Property tax however is

9390
05:35:40,111 --> 05:35:40,361
not based on taxable value in

9391
05:35:40,777 --> 05:35:41,027
Nevada it is based on

9392
05:35:45,744 --> 05:35:45,994
assessed value and NrS361.225

9393
05:35:47,744 --> 05:35:47,994
says that your assessed value

9394
05:35:51,477 --> 05:35:51,727
is35% of your taxable value. so

9395
05:35:55,477 --> 05:35:55,727
then when you take line 13 the

9396
05:35:56,511 --> 05:35:56,761
total taxable value after

9397
05:35:59,511 --> 05:35:59,761
depreciation multiply it by35%.

9398
05:36:01,777 --> 05:36:02,027
you get the amounts on line 15

9399
05:36:03,977 --> 05:36:04,227
which is the assessed value to

9400
05:36:05,977 --> 05:36:06,227
which the tax rate would apply

9401
05:36:09,777 --> 05:36:10,027
in the city of Reno the tax

9402
05:36:10,344 --> 05:36:10,594
or the tax rate is3 dollars

9403
05:36:14,244 --> 05:36:14,494
66 cents per $100 of assessed

9404
05:36:16,244 --> 05:36:16,494
value. this is the statutory

9405
05:36:18,244 --> 05:36:18,494
maxim. the statutory maximum is

9406
05:36:21,744 --> 05:36:21,994
actually3 dollars64 cents per

9407
05:36:24,244 --> 05:36:24,494
$100 of assessed value unless a

9408
05:36:26,211 --> 05:36:26,461
higher amount is approved by law

9409
05:36:27,777 --> 05:36:28,027
and the legislature has done

9410
05:36:29,777 --> 05:36:30,027
that there is an additional 2

9411
05:36:31,777 --> 05:36:32,027
cents that's levied in all17

9412
05:36:33,777 --> 05:36:34,027
counties on every parcel that

9413
05:36:35,977 --> 05:36:36,227
goes to pay state bonds and and

9414
05:36:37,977 --> 05:36:38,227
the legislature approves this in

9415
05:36:39,777 --> 05:36:40,027
the capitalpitalroment bill that

9416
05:36:40,444 --> 05:36:40,694
is passed at the end of each

9417
05:36:41,111 --> 05:36:41,361
legislative s

9418
05:36:44,011 --> 05:36:44,261
es sion so this makes the de

9419
05:36:44,577 --> 05:36:44,827
facto maximum

9420
05:36:48,244 --> 05:36:48,494
property tax rate3 dollars66

9421
05:36:50,044 --> 05:36:50,294
cents per $100 of assessed value

9422
05:36:51,777 --> 05:36:52,027
and that is the rate that

9423
05:36:54,044 --> 05:36:54,294
applies to my house and so in

9424
05:36:56,077 --> 05:36:56,327
the statute and this is how it

9425
05:36:58,244 --> 05:36:58,494
would apply for a new parcel you

9426
05:37:00,211 --> 05:37:00,461
take the assessed value

9427
05:37:02,277 --> 05:37:02,527
multiply it by the3 dollars66

9428
05:37:04,044 --> 05:37:04,294
cents for whatever your tax rate

9429
05:37:06,277 --> 05:37:06,527
is and then divide it by100 and

9430
05:37:08,277 --> 05:37:08,527
then what comes out of that is

9431
05:37:10,277 --> 05:37:10,527
what the tax should be and that

9432
05:37:12,011 --> 05:37:12,261
will actually shows up on line

9433
05:37:13,811 --> 05:37:14,061
22 here if you do that

9434
05:37:14,277 --> 05:37:14,527
calculation in Fy

9435
05:37:19,511 --> 05:37:19,761
2027 my bill would be3327

9436
05:37:20,077 --> 05:37:20,327
dollars

9437
05:37:23,511 --> 05:37:23,761
but back in the 2005 session and

9438
05:37:26,011 --> 05:37:26,261
starting in Fy2007 we have

9439
05:37:28,244 --> 05:37:28,494
abatements on tax on property

9440
05:37:31,511 --> 05:37:31,761
taxes that say depending on the

9441
05:37:33,811 --> 05:37:34,061
type of property that you have

9442
05:37:35,777 --> 05:37:36,027
your tax bill can only go up by

9443
05:37:39,511 --> 05:37:39,761
a certain amount and so what

9444
05:37:41,511 --> 05:37:41,761
that percentage is depends on

9445
05:37:43,811 --> 05:37:44,061
the type of property it is for a

9446
05:37:44,477 --> 05:37:44,727
single family owner occupied

9447
05:37:45,144 --> 05:37:45,394
home

9448
05:37:48,477 --> 05:37:48,727
in in this case this house is my

9449
05:37:50,011 --> 05:37:50,261
single family owner occupied

9450
05:37:52,244 --> 05:37:52,494
home. it is my only residence in

9451
05:37:53,977 --> 05:37:54,227
the state of Nevada unless you

9452
05:37:54,644 --> 05:37:54,894
count my office during a

9453
05:37:55,211 --> 05:37:55,461
legislative session

9454
05:37:59,511 --> 05:37:59,761
but I I don't own that one. I

9455
05:38:00,211 --> 05:38:00,461
actually do own this parcel. it

9456
05:38:03,511 --> 05:38:03,761
is my family's only home in

9457
05:38:05,744 --> 05:38:05,994
Nevada and we have made that

9458
05:38:08,011 --> 05:38:08,261
attestation to the Washoe

9459
05:38:10,244 --> 05:38:10,494
County assessor and therefore I

9460
05:38:11,777 --> 05:38:12,027
am eligible for an abatement

9461
05:38:14,044 --> 05:38:14,294
that says that my tax bill can

9462
05:38:17,777 --> 05:38:18,027
only go up by3% above what the

9463
05:38:21,511 --> 05:38:21,761
prior year's tax bill was unless

9464
05:38:22,277 --> 05:38:22,527
there's some sort of improvement

9465
05:38:24,044 --> 05:38:24,294
that's made to my property in

9466
05:38:24,677 --> 05:38:24,927
which case that comes on at the

9467
05:38:25,344 --> 05:38:25,594
full value.

9468
05:38:29,977 --> 05:38:30,227
that3% cap also applies to

9469
05:38:32,011 --> 05:38:32,261
eligible residential rental

9470
05:38:35,744 --> 05:38:35,994
properties. so if you or anybody

9471
05:38:37,711 --> 05:38:37,961
is renting out a house and the

9472
05:38:39,477 --> 05:38:39,727
rent that you charge to your

9473
05:38:41,511 --> 05:38:41,761
tenants is at or below the fair

9474
05:38:43,811 --> 05:38:44,061
market rents for that local e

9475
05:38:45,511 --> 05:38:45,761
as established by the department

9476
05:38:46,277 --> 05:38:46,527
of Housing and Urban Development

9477
05:38:46,977 --> 05:38:47,227
you also are of

9478
05:38:51,477 --> 05:38:51,727
eligible for the3% cap so your

9479
05:38:53,744 --> 05:38:53,994
tax can only go up by3% over the

9480
05:38:55,744 --> 05:38:55,994
prior year. Any other property

9481
05:38:57,777 --> 05:38:58,027
whether it's residential or

9482
05:38:59,511 --> 05:38:59,761
commercial if you don't qualify

9483
05:39:00,211 --> 05:39:00,461
for either one of those, you are

9484
05:39:02,011 --> 05:39:02,261
eligible for what is known as

9485
05:39:03,744 --> 05:39:03,994
the alternative abatement cap

9486
05:39:06,677 --> 05:39:06,927
that's in Nrs361.4722 and

9487
05:39:10,011 --> 05:39:10,261
it is listed there on line 20.

9488
05:39:14,011 --> 05:39:14,261
Your tax bill can go up by

9489
05:39:17,511 --> 05:39:17,761
anywhere between0 and8% from the

9490
05:39:19,511 --> 05:39:19,761
previous year and that is based

9491
05:39:20,511 --> 05:39:20,761
on the statutory formula in that

9492
05:39:23,744 --> 05:39:23,994
section that looks at the 10

9493
05:39:26,044 --> 05:39:26,294
year average change in assessed

9494
05:39:28,011 --> 05:39:28,261
value in that county twice the

9495
05:39:29,977 --> 05:39:30,227
change in the consumer price

9496
05:39:31,811 --> 05:39:32,061
index or rate of inflation for

9497
05:39:33,544 --> 05:39:33,794
the previous calendar year

9498
05:39:34,277 --> 05:39:34,527
and it takes the higher one of

9499
05:39:36,011 --> 05:39:36,261
those two but it has to be

9500
05:39:37,644 --> 05:39:37,894
between0 and8%. so

9501
05:39:40,011 --> 05:39:40,261
in Washoe County right now that

9502
05:39:44,244 --> 05:39:44,494
cap is8% and so because that

9503
05:39:47,744 --> 05:39:47,994
cap of8% is actually higher than

9504
05:39:49,977 --> 05:39:50,227
the three cent cap I'm eligible

9505
05:39:52,244 --> 05:39:52,494
for the lower cap of3%. If

9506
05:39:55,744 --> 05:39:55,994
that8% happened to fall below3%,

9507
05:39:58,011 --> 05:39:58,261
every parcel would be eligible

9508
05:39:59,711 --> 05:39:59,961
for that and so there are fiscal

9509
05:40:02,011 --> 05:40:02,261
years going back in the

9510
05:40:03,777 --> 05:40:04,027
middle of last decade where that

9511
05:40:06,211 --> 05:40:06,461
alternative cap was at0.2% in

9512
05:40:07,644 --> 05:40:07,894
many counties including Washoe

9513
05:40:12,244 --> 05:40:12,494
every parcel got the.2% and

9514
05:40:14,011 --> 05:40:14,261
so there was legislation that

9515
05:40:16,011 --> 05:40:16,261
was attempted to try and address

9516
05:40:17,744 --> 05:40:17,994
that that did not go anywhere

9517
05:40:19,777 --> 05:40:20,027
that would have said that

9518
05:40:21,511 --> 05:40:21,761
instead of being between0 and8%

9519
05:40:23,511 --> 05:40:23,761
that cap would have been

9520
05:40:26,011 --> 05:40:26,261
between3% and8%. so in the

9521
05:40:27,977 --> 05:40:28,227
instances where you're inflation

9522
05:40:31,511 --> 05:40:31,761
rate was below1.5% or that

9523
05:40:32,477 --> 05:40:32,727
tenyear moving average of

9524
05:40:35,511 --> 05:40:35,761
assessed value was less

9525
05:40:37,711 --> 05:40:37,961
than3% then everybody's tax bill

9526
05:40:42,244 --> 05:40:42,494
could have gone up by only3%.

9527
05:40:45,511 --> 05:40:45,761
but the the instances where that

9528
05:40:46,377 --> 05:40:46,627
legislation was passed it did

9529
05:40:47,077 --> 05:40:47,327
not go anywhere

9530
05:40:50,277 --> 05:40:50,527
so because I am eligible for

9531
05:40:54,211 --> 05:40:54,461
the3% tax cap I'm not paying

9532
05:40:58,011 --> 05:40:58,261
that full3019 dollars in Fy25 or

9533
05:41:01,977 --> 05:41:02,227
the3,327 dollars in fy 27. I'm

9534
05:41:05,511 --> 05:41:05,761
only paying3% higher than what I

9535
05:41:07,744 --> 05:41:07,994
did in the previous year. So for

9536
05:41:11,511 --> 05:41:11,761
example in Fy2026 I paid1,714

9537
05:41:12,111 --> 05:41:12,361
dollars you can see that

9538
05:41:14,277 --> 05:41:14,527
actually went up by30cent and

9539
05:41:16,344 --> 05:41:16,594
it's because I had357 dollars

9540
05:41:17,011 --> 05:41:17,261
worth of new improve

9541
05:41:19,744 --> 05:41:19,994
ment s added that got put on at

9542
05:41:21,511 --> 05:41:21,761
full value because it wasn't on

9543
05:41:23,511 --> 05:41:23,761
the roll in the previous year

9544
05:41:25,977 --> 05:41:26,227
but in Fy2027 my bill could only

9545
05:41:27,977 --> 05:41:28,227
go up by3%. So instead of paying

9546
05:41:33,711 --> 05:41:33,961
the3,327 dollars. I paid1766

9547
05:41:37,711 --> 05:41:37,961
dollars. That1561 dollars that's

9548
05:41:39,511 --> 05:41:39,761
listed in line 26. that was the

9549
05:41:40,277 --> 05:41:40,527
amount of my abatement that's

9550
05:41:42,311 --> 05:41:42,561
the amount of tax that I did not

9551
05:41:45,544 --> 05:41:45,794
have to pay and so that's where

9552
05:41:46,377 --> 05:41:46,627
the double edged sword is for me

9553
05:41:47,044 --> 05:41:47,294
as a taxpayer

9554
05:41:49,777 --> 05:41:50,027
that's good. I'm paying less

9555
05:41:51,977 --> 05:41:52,227
than I would have absent the

9556
05:41:53,744 --> 05:41:53,994
abatements but then there's the

9557
05:41:55,744 --> 05:41:55,994
side of local governments who

9558
05:41:57,744 --> 05:41:57,994
depend on and other entities who

9559
05:41:59,511 --> 05:41:59,761
depend on this revenue. This is

9560
05:42:00,211 --> 05:42:00,461
revenue that they're not going

9561
05:42:02,277 --> 05:42:02,527
to receive and so this is the

9562
05:42:04,211 --> 05:42:04,461
delicate balance I um, knowing

9563
05:42:07,477 --> 05:42:07,727
all of you on this committee,

9564
05:42:08,111 --> 05:42:08,361
some of you are going to be

9565
05:42:09,777 --> 05:42:10,027
happier with one result than the

9566
05:42:11,777 --> 05:42:12,027
other. I and I'm not saying one

9567
05:42:14,011 --> 05:42:14,261
of those is better or not

9568
05:42:15,811 --> 05:42:16,061
because I'm nonpartisan staff

9569
05:42:16,477 --> 05:42:16,727
and it's up to you to make that

9570
05:42:17,177 --> 05:42:17,427
decision of a

9571
05:42:19,977 --> 05:42:20,227
as the the value judgment of

9572
05:42:21,977 --> 05:42:22,227
what you would prefer taxpayers

9573
05:42:23,777 --> 05:42:24,027
paying less or local governments

9574
05:42:25,744 --> 05:42:25,994
or government entities having

9575
05:42:28,011 --> 05:42:28,261
more revenue but this is the

9576
05:42:30,011 --> 05:42:30,261
reality and how property taxes

9577
05:42:32,211 --> 05:42:32,461
work in this state. so when

9578
05:42:34,011 --> 05:42:34,261
you then get to the bottom line

9579
05:42:35,977 --> 05:42:36,227
you start looking at effective

9580
05:42:37,711 --> 05:42:37,961
tax rates and the one I think I

9581
05:42:39,511 --> 05:42:39,761
want to focus on, um, is

9582
05:42:41,511 --> 05:42:41,761
linene31, the last line. the

9583
05:42:43,511 --> 05:42:43,761
effective tax rate per100

9584
05:42:45,744 --> 05:42:45,994
dollars of tax of taxable

9585
05:42:46,344 --> 05:42:46,594
value before depreciation so

9586
05:42:50,244 --> 05:42:50,494
the taxable value of the

9587
05:42:53,511 --> 05:42:53,761
property it doesn't necessarily

9588
05:42:55,511 --> 05:42:55,761
equal the full cash value but it

9589
05:42:56,244 --> 05:42:56,494
can't exceed the full cash

9590
05:42:59,777 --> 05:43:00,027
value. if you have if the

9591
05:43:01,511 --> 05:43:01,761
accounting assessor comes in and

9592
05:43:02,244 --> 05:43:02,494
says the replacement cost of

9593
05:43:04,244 --> 05:43:04,494
your structure is x and the full

9594
05:43:07,511 --> 05:43:07,761
cash value of the land is why.

9595
05:43:08,477 --> 05:43:08,727
but you go to them and say hey

9596
05:43:11,511 --> 05:43:11,761
my my house based on the market

9597
05:43:13,511 --> 05:43:13,761
value is worth less than the sum

9598
05:43:14,311 --> 05:43:14,561
of that you can actually appeal

9599
05:43:16,011 --> 05:43:16,261
that and they would have to

9600
05:43:16,544 --> 05:43:16,794
reduce your taxable value down

9601
05:43:20,244 --> 05:43:20,494
to be at the cash value. but

9602
05:43:21,977 --> 05:43:22,227
if you think about it in those

9603
05:43:24,011 --> 05:43:24,261
terms for every100 dollars of

9604
05:43:25,977 --> 05:43:26,227
taxable value and we'll save for

9605
05:43:27,511 --> 05:43:27,761
argument's sake that my taxable

9606
05:43:28,244 --> 05:43:28,494
value was equal to my fair

9607
05:43:33,511 --> 05:43:33,761
market value. I am paying31%

9608
05:43:36,011 --> 05:43:36,261
of the taxable value of my house

9609
05:43:38,211 --> 05:43:38,461
in terms of property tax. Again

9610
05:43:39,777 --> 05:43:40,027
whether this is a good number or

9611
05:43:42,011 --> 05:43:42,261
a bad number is that's a value

9612
05:43:43,811 --> 05:43:44,061
judgment for all of you to make

9613
05:43:45,777 --> 05:43:46,027
but it is the the number that I

9614
05:43:46,477 --> 05:43:46,727
pay in terms of property tax

9615
05:43:49,511 --> 05:43:49,761
as the chair noted this is a

9616
05:43:50,244 --> 05:43:50,494
presentation that we've made

9617
05:43:52,244 --> 05:43:52,494
previously but it's not a

9618
05:43:54,011 --> 05:43:54,261
presentation we make a lot

9619
05:43:56,511 --> 05:43:56,761
because property tax is not a

9620
05:43:58,244 --> 05:43:58,494
significant revenue source for

9621
05:44:01,511 --> 05:44:01,761
the state. We get most property

9622
05:44:02,277 --> 05:44:02,527
tax revenue that flows into the

9623
05:44:04,011 --> 05:44:04,261
state coffers through the state

9624
05:44:05,977 --> 05:44:06,227
education fund. The75 cent

9625
05:44:07,744 --> 05:44:07,994
property tax rate for school

9626
05:44:08,477 --> 05:44:08,727
districts that's imposed in

9627
05:44:10,277 --> 05:44:10,527
all17 counties makes up about a

9628
05:44:12,011 --> 05:44:12,261
quarter of the state education

9629
05:44:14,277 --> 05:44:14,527
fund but in terms of state

9630
05:44:16,411 --> 05:44:16,661
revenue it's not a big amount

9631
05:44:17,077 --> 05:44:17,327
for the local

9632
05:44:19,777 --> 05:44:20,027
governments though it is either

9633
05:44:20,477 --> 05:44:20,727
their firstst or their second

9634
05:44:22,011 --> 05:44:22,261
largest, soclark countunty for

9635
05:44:25,744 --> 05:44:25,994
example in Fy2025 for their

9636
05:44:27,544 --> 05:44:27,794
total revenue property tax was

9637
05:44:28,277 --> 05:44:28,527
just under 21%. It was their

9638
05:44:31,511 --> 05:44:31,761
second biggest after the C tax

9639
05:44:33,944 --> 05:44:34,194
or consolidated tax

9640
05:44:34,377 --> 05:44:34,627
distribution

9641
05:44:37,977 --> 05:44:38,227
so it is a significant revenue

9642
05:44:40,011 --> 05:44:40,261
source for a lot of local

9643
05:44:41,511 --> 05:44:41,761
governments not necessarily for

9644
05:44:43,511 --> 05:44:43,761
the state but when you actually

9645
05:44:44,244 --> 05:44:44,494
look at the whole numbers it is

9646
05:44:45,777 --> 05:44:46,027
the second largest revenue

9647
05:44:48,311 --> 05:44:48,561
source for all state and

9648
05:44:50,011 --> 05:44:50,261
local governments again though

9649
05:44:53,511 --> 05:44:53,761
primarily local governments so I

9650
05:44:54,211 --> 05:44:54,461
wanted to go through this table

9651
05:44:56,011 --> 05:44:56,261
just to set the stage of this is

9652
05:44:58,011 --> 05:44:58,261
how it works and and this is

9653
05:45:01,511 --> 05:45:01,761
what property tax looks like. So

9654
05:45:02,244 --> 05:45:02,494
I'll I'll spend a little bit of

9655
05:45:04,144 --> 05:45:04,394
time going through the remainder

9656
05:45:04,811 --> 05:45:05,061
of the tables just to give

9657
05:45:08,011 --> 05:45:08,261
some context and and and show

9658
05:45:09,711 --> 05:45:09,961
what is there but I'm going to

9659
05:45:11,477 --> 05:45:11,727
spend most of my time going

9660
05:45:13,477 --> 05:45:13,727
through alternative scenarios

9661
05:45:14,244 --> 05:45:14,494
that the chair asked us to put

9662
05:45:16,011 --> 05:45:16,261
together to show if there is a

9663
05:45:20,244 --> 05:45:20,494
desire to increase revenue or

9664
05:45:23,511 --> 05:45:23,761
to gain something from property

9665
05:45:24,244 --> 05:45:24,494
tax that isn't there now.

9666
05:45:26,511 --> 05:45:26,761
these are the way things that

9667
05:45:27,777 --> 05:45:28,027
you have to think about and

9668
05:45:29,511 --> 05:45:29,761
these are some options that you

9669
05:45:31,511 --> 05:45:31,761
have and again as nonpartisan

9670
05:45:32,111 --> 05:45:32,361
staff I'm not saying that any of

9671
05:45:34,111 --> 05:45:34,361
the options are good or better

9672
05:45:34,777 --> 05:45:35,027
than the others

9673
05:45:38,244 --> 05:45:38,494
I'm again providing

9674
05:45:39,977 --> 05:45:40,227
information I don't support or

9675
05:45:42,211 --> 05:45:42,461
oppose any of them. it is just

9676
05:45:45,511 --> 05:45:45,761
the information. So table one a

9677
05:45:47,511 --> 05:45:47,761
is two pages that go through and

9678
05:45:49,511 --> 05:45:49,761
again this is my house and this

9679
05:45:51,777 --> 05:45:52,027
is the historical calculation of

9680
05:45:53,744 --> 05:45:53,994
the property tax on my house

9681
05:45:55,977 --> 05:45:56,227
going back to fiscal year 2000

9682
05:45:58,377 --> 05:45:58,627
and why I went back that far is

9683
05:46:02,011 --> 05:46:02,261
especially in the first seven

9684
05:46:03,744 --> 05:46:03,994
years that are shown on the on

9685
05:46:07,477 --> 05:46:07,727
this table Fy2000 through Fy2006

9686
05:46:09,777 --> 05:46:10,027
this is before the effect of the

9687
05:46:10,511 --> 05:46:10,761
partial abatements and so you

9688
05:46:13,544 --> 05:46:13,794
can see the land and the

9689
05:46:16,244 --> 05:46:16,494
improvements were assessed you

9690
05:46:17,977 --> 05:46:18,227
got a taxable value after

9691
05:46:19,977 --> 05:46:20,227
depreciation but then when

9692
05:46:21,744 --> 05:46:21,994
you start going in and looking

9693
05:46:25,511 --> 05:46:25,761
at line 22 and 24 the tax due

9694
05:46:27,511 --> 05:46:27,761
and the before and after partial

9695
05:46:28,344 --> 05:46:28,594
abatements obviouslybviously

9696
05:46:28,911 --> 05:46:29,161
before Fy20

9697
05:46:31,744 --> 05:46:31,994
7 those numbers were the same

9698
05:46:33,511 --> 05:46:33,761
because there were no abatements

9699
05:46:35,744 --> 05:46:35,994
but you can see when you start

9700
05:46:37,744 --> 05:46:37,994
looking at the actual tax that

9701
05:46:38,444 --> 05:46:38,694
was paid

9702
05:46:42,044 --> 05:46:42,294
for my house because it was

9703
05:46:44,244 --> 05:46:44,494
still being depreciated and the

9704
05:46:46,277 --> 05:46:46,527
the value was not going up so

9705
05:46:49,744 --> 05:46:49,994
strongly my tax bill or my

9706
05:46:51,477 --> 05:46:51,727
house's tax bill actually fell

9707
05:46:53,811 --> 05:46:54,061
and fy 2006 and then jumped up a

9708
05:46:55,744 --> 05:46:55,994
little bit in the two

9709
05:46:56,544 --> 05:46:56,794
previous or the the previous and

9710
05:46:58,311 --> 05:46:58,561
the subsequent fiscal years this

9711
05:47:01,811 --> 05:47:02,061
is not necessarily the case for

9712
05:47:03,811 --> 05:47:04,061
a lot of parcels that were in

9713
05:47:05,744 --> 05:47:05,994
the state at the time and so

9714
05:47:07,777 --> 05:47:08,027
when I get to some other

9715
05:47:08,311 --> 05:47:08,561
information that showed kind of

9716
05:47:08,977 --> 05:47:09,227
what was going on. It gives a

9717
05:47:11,777 --> 05:47:12,027
little bit of history and

9718
05:47:13,511 --> 05:47:13,761
context as to why the

9719
05:47:14,544 --> 05:47:14,794
legislature decided during the

9720
05:47:16,277 --> 05:47:16,527
2005 session to put these

9721
05:47:18,311 --> 05:47:18,561
abatements into place because by

9722
05:47:21,511 --> 05:47:21,761
and large there were parcels

9723
05:47:23,511 --> 05:47:23,761
that were having double digit

9724
05:47:25,777 --> 05:47:26,027
growth and so it wouldn't have

9725
05:47:27,777 --> 05:47:28,027
been a shock in Fy2005 or

9726
05:47:30,311 --> 05:47:30,561
Fy2006. and even in in 2007 if

9727
05:47:32,044 --> 05:47:32,294
the abatements hadn't been put

9728
05:47:33,777 --> 05:47:34,027
in that people's property tax

9729
05:47:36,011 --> 05:47:36,261
bill would have bills might have

9730
05:47:38,611 --> 05:47:38,861
increased by1015,20,25,30% or

9731
05:47:39,277 --> 05:47:39,527
more

9732
05:47:42,311 --> 05:47:42,561
and so the legislature tasks

9733
05:47:44,511 --> 05:47:44,761
themselves with addressing this

9734
05:47:47,511 --> 05:47:47,761
issue. so that's really what

9735
05:47:48,277 --> 05:47:48,527
table one a is about is just

9736
05:47:50,011 --> 05:47:50,261
showing my house and the

9737
05:47:51,877 --> 05:47:52,127
progression of the values

9738
05:47:52,444 --> 05:47:52,694
throughout time.

9739
05:47:57,511 --> 05:47:57,761
table two I'm not going to spend

9740
05:47:58,244 --> 05:47:58,494
a lot of time going through all

9741
05:48:02,011 --> 05:48:02,261
23 pages of table two but this

9742
05:48:03,977 --> 05:48:04,227
is going through through all 17

9743
05:48:06,244 --> 05:48:06,494
counties and the tax taxing

9744
05:48:07,977 --> 05:48:08,227
entities within these counties

9745
05:48:09,777 --> 05:48:10,027
and showing what the total

9746
05:48:11,777 --> 05:48:12,027
combined property tax rate would

9747
05:48:14,244 --> 05:48:14,494
be and so the easy way for me to

9748
05:48:16,011 --> 05:48:16,261
explain this is I'll point out

9749
05:48:17,744 --> 05:48:17,994
Churchill County as a good

9750
05:48:20,244 --> 05:48:20,494
example on on page one of table

9751
05:48:22,044 --> 05:48:22,294
wo. they have a total of three

9752
05:48:22,644 --> 05:48:22,894
tax districts and you can

9753
05:48:26,011 --> 05:48:26,261
see that they all have different

9754
05:48:28,277 --> 05:48:28,527
tax rates the city of Fallon has

9755
05:48:30,011 --> 05:48:30,261
its combined property tax rate

9756
05:48:33,511 --> 05:48:33,761
at the maximum3 dollars66 cents

9757
05:48:34,244 --> 05:48:34,494
when you get outside of the c

9758
05:48:36,211 --> 05:48:36,461
city of Allen there are two

9759
05:48:37,777 --> 05:48:38,027
taxing districts in

9760
05:48:39,511 --> 05:48:39,761
unincorporated Churchill County

9761
05:48:41,511 --> 05:48:41,761
that have lower rates and they

9762
05:48:42,377 --> 05:48:42,627
have a difference of three cents

9763
05:48:43,044 --> 05:48:43,294
in between them.

9764
05:48:46,244 --> 05:48:46,494
so what is behind this summary

9765
05:48:47,744 --> 05:48:47,994
table and it's the first four

9766
05:48:49,777 --> 05:48:50,027
pages that go through all 17

9767
05:48:51,744 --> 05:48:51,994
counties well starting on

9768
05:48:52,477 --> 05:48:52,727
page five there are individual

9769
05:48:55,744 --> 05:48:55,994
tables that show the components

9770
05:48:57,511 --> 05:48:57,761
of the property tax rates for

9771
05:48:59,744 --> 05:48:59,994
every single district within

9772
05:49:01,711 --> 05:49:01,961
that county. And so I will go to

9773
05:49:04,477 --> 05:49:04,727
table 2b on page ix of this

9774
05:49:07,511 --> 05:49:07,761
particular section and this

9775
05:49:09,511 --> 05:49:09,761
shows each of those three tax

9776
05:49:11,744 --> 05:49:11,994
districts in Churchill County

9777
05:49:12,444 --> 05:49:12,694
and has each of the rates that

9778
05:49:13,111 --> 05:49:13,361
make up that

9779
05:49:16,277 --> 05:49:16,527
combined rate broken out so you

9780
05:49:17,744 --> 05:49:17,994
can see there's a state rate

9781
05:49:20,244 --> 05:49:20,494
of17 cents that's used to pay

9782
05:49:22,477 --> 05:49:22,727
for state debt capital

9783
05:49:24,311 --> 05:49:24,561
improvements and other projects

9784
05:49:27,511 --> 05:49:27,761
there is a dollar30 school

9785
05:49:28,244 --> 05:49:28,494
district rate which makes up

9786
05:49:30,244 --> 05:49:30,494
it's the75 cent rate that I

9787
05:49:31,744 --> 05:49:31,994
previously mentioned that goes

9788
05:49:33,744 --> 05:49:33,994
to the state education fund and

9789
05:49:35,544 --> 05:49:35,794
then there's a55 cent rate that

9790
05:49:37,811 --> 05:49:38,061
is imposed in Churchill County

9791
05:49:39,511 --> 05:49:39,761
for the school district's debt

9792
05:49:41,544 --> 05:49:41,794
and and school district

9793
05:49:42,044 --> 05:49:42,294
districts are allowed to do

9794
05:49:42,611 --> 05:49:42,861
that. the county's rate is

9795
05:49:47,511 --> 05:49:47,761
12829 so just under or just over

9796
05:49:49,777 --> 05:49:50,027
dollar 28 per100 dollars of

9797
05:49:51,511 --> 05:49:51,761
assessed value goes to

9798
05:49:53,744 --> 05:49:53,994
uhhurchill County and then for

9799
05:49:56,211 --> 05:49:56,461
the city and town and we put

9800
05:49:58,211 --> 05:49:58,461
this there because many counties

9801
05:49:59,744 --> 05:49:59,994
have multiple cities or towns

9802
05:50:01,744 --> 05:50:01,994
and rather than listing them all

9803
05:50:03,844 --> 05:50:04,094
out we have on a lot of these

9804
05:50:06,044 --> 05:50:06,294
just one combined so for that

9805
05:50:09,511 --> 05:50:09,761
district tax district100 in the

9806
05:50:11,511 --> 05:50:11,761
city of Fallon that's se $9.71

9807
05:50:12,344 --> 05:50:12,594
that's the city of Fallon's

9808
05:50:12,944 --> 05:50:13,194
operating

9809
05:50:15,977 --> 05:50:16,227
and debt rates if they have them

9810
05:50:16,711 --> 05:50:16,961
that they use for their own

9811
05:50:20,011 --> 05:50:20,261
purposes and then there's an e

9812
05:50:21,744 --> 05:50:21,994
cent rate that goes to the

9813
05:50:23,511 --> 05:50:23,761
Churchill County mosquito

9814
05:50:25,511 --> 05:50:25,761
abatement district and then two

9815
05:50:28,011 --> 05:50:28,261
of the three rates or two of

9816
05:50:30,011 --> 05:50:30,261
these three tax districts impose

9817
05:50:31,777 --> 05:50:32,027
a three cent rate for the carson

9818
05:50:33,811 --> 05:50:34,061
water subbconservancy district

9819
05:50:35,777 --> 05:50:36,027
so that is the explanation for

9820
05:50:37,511 --> 05:50:37,761
why one of those Churchill

9821
05:50:39,511 --> 05:50:39,761
County rates is3 cents lower is

9822
05:50:41,777 --> 05:50:42,027
because tax district300 does not

9823
05:50:43,544 --> 05:50:43,794
impose that three cent rate and

9824
05:50:45,511 --> 05:50:45,761
so when you add all of those

9825
05:50:46,311 --> 05:50:46,561
together on each of the lines

9826
05:50:47,711 --> 05:50:47,961
that's how the combined property

9827
05:50:48,377 --> 05:50:48,627
tax

9828
05:50:51,511 --> 05:50:51,761
rate works and so it's all of

9829
05:50:53,744 --> 05:50:53,994
the pieces put together and then

9830
05:50:55,744 --> 05:50:55,994
when you add all of those up

9831
05:50:57,944 --> 05:50:58,194
they cannot exceed3 dollars66

9832
05:51:00,211 --> 05:51:00,461
cents per $100 of assessed value

9833
05:51:03,511 --> 05:51:03,761
in most instances and I won't

9834
05:51:04,244 --> 05:51:04,494
get too much into the details of

9835
05:51:06,244 --> 05:51:06,494
the exceptions to that but they

9836
05:51:08,211 --> 05:51:08,461
are actually spelled out or many

9837
05:51:09,711 --> 05:51:09,961
of them are spelled out in

9838
05:51:12,177 --> 05:51:12,427
table6. so that's table two

9839
05:51:17,744 --> 05:51:17,994
a or 2 through 2cu I believe

9840
05:51:19,744 --> 05:51:19,994
there's one a sheet like that

9841
05:51:22,077 --> 05:51:22,327
for all17 counties that you can

9842
05:51:22,711 --> 05:51:22,961
go through and and look at

9843
05:51:25,744 --> 05:51:25,994
So I had mentioned the partial

9844
05:51:27,744 --> 05:51:27,994
abatements and the the cap

9845
05:51:29,511 --> 05:51:29,761
factors that apply and so

9846
05:51:31,477 --> 05:51:31,727
table3a is kind of hard to look

9847
05:51:33,777 --> 05:51:34,027
at. so I'm actually going to

9848
05:51:36,244 --> 05:51:36,494
move on to table3B and so I

9849
05:51:39,744 --> 05:51:39,994
mentioned that the the cap

9850
05:51:42,044 --> 05:51:42,294
for the abatements is based on a

9851
05:51:43,744 --> 05:51:43,994
statutory formula and especially

9852
05:51:46,011 --> 05:51:46,261
that alternative cap that takes

9853
05:51:47,744 --> 05:51:47,994
into account the tenyear

9854
05:51:49,544 --> 05:51:49,794
assessed value moving average

9855
05:51:51,544 --> 05:51:51,794
growth rate twice the change in

9856
05:51:52,211 --> 05:51:52,461
the consumer price index

9857
05:51:52,744 --> 05:51:52,994
somewhere

9858
05:51:57,511 --> 05:51:57,761
between0 and8%. and so for

9859
05:51:59,744 --> 05:51:59,994
each county the department of

9860
05:52:01,777 --> 05:52:02,027
taxation each year will do this

9861
05:52:03,744 --> 05:52:03,994
calculation and then they

9862
05:52:05,977 --> 05:52:06,227
establish what the caps are for

9863
05:52:09,511 --> 05:52:09,761
all17 counties so in table3b it

9864
05:52:11,744 --> 05:52:11,994
goes through back to fy 2006 and

9865
05:52:14,011 --> 05:52:14,261
shows what the single family cap

9866
05:52:16,211 --> 05:52:16,461
either for residential or the

9867
05:52:18,011 --> 05:52:18,261
eligible rentals and that

9868
05:52:19,511 --> 05:52:19,761
alternative cap is for each

9869
05:52:21,511 --> 05:52:21,761
county for each fiscal year and

9870
05:52:22,177 --> 05:52:22,427
in most instances you can see

9871
05:52:22,777 --> 05:52:23,027
especially

9872
05:52:26,011 --> 05:52:26,261
on this page that the the

9873
05:52:28,244 --> 05:52:28,494
single family cap was at3% and

9874
05:52:29,977 --> 05:52:30,227
then you had the alternative

9875
05:52:32,244 --> 05:52:32,494
cap somewhere higher than that

9876
05:52:34,177 --> 05:52:34,427
when you get though to Fy

9877
05:52:39,511 --> 05:52:39,761
2017 though so on page three of

9878
05:52:42,277 --> 05:52:42,527
table3b so this last line

9879
05:52:43,977 --> 05:52:44,227
here you can see a lot of the

9880
05:52:45,544 --> 05:52:45,794
numbers fell below that and this

9881
05:52:47,511 --> 05:52:47,761
is the fiscal year that I was

9882
05:52:49,777 --> 05:52:50,027
referring to where inflation was

9883
05:52:51,777 --> 05:52:52,027
very low. in fact the

9884
05:52:54,311 --> 05:52:54,561
calculation was 2 times thecPI

9885
05:52:57,777 --> 05:52:58,027
was0.2% and so in a lot of

9886
05:52:59,711 --> 05:52:59,961
instances you can see that

9887
05:53:02,211 --> 05:53:02,461
the assessed value was above

9888
05:53:04,211 --> 05:53:04,461
that. so for example in Elko

9889
05:53:06,211 --> 05:53:06,461
County the the 10 year moving

9890
05:53:07,977 --> 05:53:08,227
average in assessed value

9891
05:53:10,244 --> 05:53:10,494
was6.4%. so their alternative

9892
05:53:13,511 --> 05:53:13,761
cap was the6.4% because it's the

9893
05:53:15,511 --> 05:53:15,761
higher of those two numbers and

9894
05:53:16,244 --> 05:53:16,494
then the the partial

9895
05:53:19,511 --> 05:53:19,761
abatement for single families

9896
05:53:20,277 --> 05:53:20,527
owner occupied in the eligible

9897
05:53:23,511 --> 05:53:23,761
rentals was3%. but go down to

9898
05:53:24,244 --> 05:53:24,494
Washoe County though and you can

9899
05:53:26,011 --> 05:53:26,261
see that there 10 year moving

9900
05:53:26,644 --> 05:53:26,894
average of obsessed value is

9901
05:53:27,311 --> 05:53:27,561
flat.

9902
05:53:30,211 --> 05:53:30,461
and so the higher of those two

9903
05:53:32,244 --> 05:53:32,494
numbers is the0.2%. so that

9904
05:53:35,977 --> 05:53:36,227
alternative cap was0.2% but

9905
05:53:37,744 --> 05:53:37,994
again because that number was

9906
05:53:41,744 --> 05:53:41,994
lower than3% every property

9907
05:53:44,244 --> 05:53:44,494
went to the.2% again something

9908
05:53:48,011 --> 05:53:48,261
good for your property owners

9909
05:53:49,511 --> 05:53:49,761
if that's the way you want to

9910
05:53:51,977 --> 05:53:52,227
look at it. but again if you

9911
05:53:53,777 --> 05:53:54,027
are looking at on the side of

9912
05:53:54,544 --> 05:53:54,794
trying to fund government

9913
05:53:56,444 --> 05:53:56,694
services maybe not so much so

9914
05:53:57,111 --> 05:53:57,361
but this

9915
05:53:59,744 --> 05:53:59,994
is going through and all the way

9916
05:54:01,777 --> 05:54:02,027
to Fy2027 if you go to the last

9917
05:54:03,777 --> 05:54:04,027
page the current fiscal year's

9918
05:54:06,011 --> 05:54:06,261
caps for each of the 17 counties

9919
05:54:07,811 --> 05:54:08,061
are listed as well as how that

9920
05:54:08,511 --> 05:54:08,761
was determined

9921
05:54:10,277 --> 05:54:10,527
this is information we get

9922
05:54:11,777 --> 05:54:12,027
from the department of taxation.

9923
05:54:13,511 --> 05:54:13,761
I do want to thank them for

9924
05:54:15,477 --> 05:54:15,727
their assistance, as well as

9925
05:54:17,544 --> 05:54:17,794
my staff up in Carson City

9926
05:54:18,444 --> 05:54:18,694
who spent a lot of time looking

9927
05:54:19,144 --> 05:54:19,394
through all of this stuff.

9928
05:54:22,011 --> 05:54:22,261
so this gets us to the meat of

9929
05:54:24,011 --> 05:54:24,261
the presentation and what the

9930
05:54:25,744 --> 05:54:25,994
chair asked us to put together

9931
05:54:29,711 --> 05:54:29,961
and so what I did in tables4a

9932
05:54:30,377 --> 05:54:30,627
through for

9933
05:54:33,777 --> 05:54:34,027
J or K I'm not sure which one at

9934
05:54:35,744 --> 05:54:35,994
this point is go through and

9935
05:54:36,377 --> 05:54:36,627
put together a number of

9936
05:54:38,044 --> 05:54:38,294
scenarios taking my house

9937
05:54:42,277 --> 05:54:42,527
starting inFy2027 because

9938
05:54:43,544 --> 05:54:43,794
that's the most recent

9939
05:54:45,511 --> 05:54:45,761
assessment growing the value of

9940
05:54:48,011 --> 05:54:48,261
the land by5% per year

9941
05:54:49,744 --> 05:54:49,994
growing the replacement cost of

9942
05:54:51,511 --> 05:54:51,761
the improvements by 2% per

9943
05:54:53,511 --> 05:54:53,761
fiscal year and then running a

9944
05:54:54,177 --> 05:54:54,427
different a bunch of different

9945
05:54:54,777 --> 05:54:55,027
scenarios that

9946
05:54:58,011 --> 05:54:58,261
to show what property tax would

9947
05:55:01,777 --> 05:55:02,027
look like. And so table4A on

9948
05:55:03,511 --> 05:55:03,761
this page that's up on the

9949
05:55:04,277 --> 05:55:04,527
screen is the baseline scenario

9950
05:55:06,244 --> 05:55:06,494
so I'm assuming that the partial

9951
05:55:08,011 --> 05:55:08,261
abatement cap that that applies

9952
05:55:09,744 --> 05:55:09,994
to my house is going to stay

9953
05:55:12,244 --> 05:55:12,494
at3% all the way out to Fy2039.

9954
05:55:14,011 --> 05:55:14,261
it is an eligible singlefamily

9955
05:55:16,244 --> 05:55:16,494
residence that should apply for

9956
05:55:17,711 --> 05:55:17,961
that cap. I just set the

9957
05:55:19,777 --> 05:55:20,027
alternative cap at8% it could

9958
05:55:21,511 --> 05:55:21,761
be lower than that but as long

9959
05:55:23,777 --> 05:55:24,027
as it's above 3% then my cap is

9960
05:55:24,744 --> 05:55:24,994
3%. and so this shows basically

9961
05:55:25,377 --> 05:55:25,627
what

9962
05:55:28,044 --> 05:55:28,294
my tax bill is going to look

9963
05:55:30,311 --> 05:55:30,561
like growing it by3% per year

9964
05:55:31,677 --> 05:55:31,927
under the existing law.

9965
05:55:36,244 --> 05:55:36,494
and so the num the various

9966
05:55:37,977 --> 05:55:38,227
scenarios that I put together,

9967
05:55:39,877 --> 05:55:40,127
most of them are going to

9968
05:55:44,177 --> 05:55:44,427
affect the abatement cap because

9969
05:55:45,711 --> 05:55:45,961
there are a number of different

9970
05:55:47,777 --> 05:55:48,027
things that you could have done

9971
05:55:51,777 --> 05:55:52,027
in a previous time to raise

9972
05:55:53,544 --> 05:55:53,794
property taxes the obvious one

9973
05:55:54,277 --> 05:55:54,527
would be to increase your

9974
05:55:57,477 --> 05:55:57,727
property tax rate. the

9975
05:55:57,977 --> 05:55:58,227
partial abatements when they

9976
05:55:58,577 --> 05:55:58,827
were put into place back in

9977
05:56:00,244 --> 05:56:00,494
assembly bill489 and Senate

9978
05:56:03,744 --> 05:56:03,994
Bill509 of 2005 session were

9979
05:56:05,677 --> 05:56:05,927
intentionally designed to not

9980
05:56:09,511 --> 05:56:09,761
it wasn't as simple as oh you

9981
05:56:11,511 --> 05:56:11,761
can raise your rate and you'll

9982
05:56:12,311 --> 05:56:12,561
get more revenue because the

9983
05:56:15,511 --> 05:56:15,761
thought was if you allowed

9984
05:56:16,044 --> 05:56:16,294
people to do that all of a

9985
05:56:18,011 --> 05:56:18,261
sudden every single local

9986
05:56:18,611 --> 05:56:18,861
government would try to raise

9987
05:56:21,511 --> 05:56:21,761
their rate and try to steal some

9988
05:56:22,277 --> 05:56:22,527
portion of that revenue knowing

9989
05:56:24,044 --> 05:56:24,294
your tax bill could only go up

9990
05:56:27,477 --> 05:56:27,727
by a certain percentage so

9991
05:56:29,877 --> 05:56:30,127
realistically the only way that

9992
05:56:30,544 --> 05:56:30,794
you can

9993
05:56:34,277 --> 05:56:34,527
raise revenue it there are

9994
05:56:36,011 --> 05:56:36,261
several things that you can do

9995
05:56:37,511 --> 05:56:37,761
but the abatements are really

9996
05:56:39,511 --> 05:56:39,761
the limiter. So if you wanted to

9997
05:56:40,311 --> 05:56:40,561
raise a rate you could do that

9998
05:56:42,011 --> 05:56:42,261
but you'd have to make sure that

9999
05:56:43,777 --> 05:56:44,027
that new rate was somehow

10000
05:56:44,377 --> 05:56:44,627
outside of the partial

10001
05:56:46,011 --> 05:56:46,261
abatements. Otherwise

10002
05:56:47,744 --> 05:56:47,994
realistically you can put your

10003
05:56:48,377 --> 05:56:48,627
rate at whatever you want. taxx

10004
05:56:50,011 --> 05:56:50,261
bill is only going to go up by3%

10005
05:56:52,011 --> 05:56:52,261
or whatever that percentage is.

10006
05:56:54,044 --> 05:56:54,294
And in my instance it would only

10007
05:56:56,011 --> 05:56:56,261
be3%. So starting with this

10008
05:56:58,077 --> 05:56:58,327
baseline, I started running a

10009
05:56:58,711 --> 05:56:58,961
bunch of different scenarios

10010
05:57:02,311 --> 05:57:02,561
so looking at where my tax

10011
05:57:04,244 --> 05:57:04,494
bill is exam for example in

10012
05:57:07,511 --> 05:57:07,761
the baseline scenario in Fy2039

10013
05:57:09,511 --> 05:57:09,761
the last year. So after the

10014
05:57:10,277 --> 05:57:10,527
partial abatement I would

10015
05:57:11,744 --> 05:57:11,994
after the partial abatement and

10016
05:57:14,244 --> 05:57:14,494
Fy2039 my tax bill would be

10017
05:57:18,011 --> 05:57:18,261
$2,518 for that fiscal year. so

10018
05:57:20,044 --> 05:57:20,294
in table4b this is the first

10019
05:57:23,544 --> 05:57:23,794
scenario that we had and so in I

10020
05:57:24,344 --> 05:57:24,594
I made all of these changes in

10021
05:57:27,544 --> 05:57:27,794
Fy2029 because realistically if

10022
05:57:28,244 --> 05:57:28,494
the legislature were going to do

10023
05:57:28,911 --> 05:57:29,161
anything that's probably

10024
05:57:31,977 --> 05:57:32,227
in the 2seth session that's

10025
05:57:33,511 --> 05:57:33,761
probably the first fiscal year

10026
05:57:35,511 --> 05:57:35,761
that you could actually put this

10027
05:57:39,511 --> 05:57:39,761
into place. so in Fy229

10028
05:57:41,744 --> 05:57:41,994
instead of having that cap at3%

10029
05:57:44,544 --> 05:57:44,794
it is at4% and so I that flowed

10030
05:57:46,044 --> 05:57:46,294
through and so my tax bill

10031
05:57:47,744 --> 05:57:47,994
instead of growing by3% starting

10032
05:57:51,511 --> 05:57:51,761
in Fy2029 would grow by4% and so

10033
05:57:52,311 --> 05:57:52,561
my tax bill by the time you got

10034
05:57:56,544 --> 05:57:56,794
out to Fy2039 would be $2800. so

10035
05:57:58,111 --> 05:57:58,361
just under $300 more

10036
05:58:01,844 --> 05:58:02,094
by adding that1% each year

10037
05:58:02,444 --> 05:58:02,694
going on.

10038
05:58:05,744 --> 05:58:05,994
and so I did I repeated this for

10039
05:58:07,511 --> 05:58:07,761
a number of other scenarios

10040
05:58:10,011 --> 05:58:10,261
table4C takes it from3% to5%.

10041
05:58:13,511 --> 05:58:13,761
And so in Fy2039 myb go would be

10042
05:58:14,211 --> 05:58:14,461
about just over3100 dollars

10043
05:58:20,044 --> 05:58:20,294
in table4D it is now up to6%

10044
05:58:21,977 --> 05:58:22,227
rather than3% and so you could

10045
05:58:23,844 --> 05:58:24,094
see that it's about3450 dollars

10046
05:58:28,211 --> 05:58:28,461
and then in table4e I equalize

10047
05:58:29,977 --> 05:58:30,227
them and now all of the caps are

10048
05:58:33,777 --> 05:58:34,027
at8% and so my bill then goes

10049
05:58:36,277 --> 05:58:36,527
to about4,200 dollars. so this

10050
05:58:39,977 --> 05:58:40,227
is actually the point. you in

10051
05:58:40,644 --> 05:58:40,894
terms of the

10052
05:58:45,477 --> 05:58:45,727
abatement as a percentage of my

10053
05:58:46,444 --> 05:58:46,694
tax bill each time you increment

10054
05:58:49,711 --> 05:58:49,961
that, the percentage goes down.

10055
05:58:51,744 --> 05:58:51,994
this is the first scenario out

10056
05:58:53,744 --> 05:58:53,994
of all of them were the actual

10057
05:58:55,744 --> 05:58:55,994
abated tax revenue starts

10058
05:58:57,477 --> 05:58:57,727
decreasing that starts happening

10059
05:58:58,444 --> 05:58:58,694
at about7% where you could

10060
05:59:01,511 --> 05:59:01,761
actually see the revenues going

10061
05:59:03,511 --> 05:59:03,761
down and this is just unique to

10062
05:59:05,511 --> 05:59:05,761
my scenario realistically what

10063
05:59:06,277 --> 05:59:06,527
would have to happen to get more

10064
05:59:09,511 --> 05:59:09,761
revenue out of any parcel is

10065
05:59:10,244 --> 05:59:10,494
that the change in the taxable

10066
05:59:11,711 --> 05:59:11,961
value and the assessed value

10067
05:59:12,244 --> 05:59:12,494
would have

10068
05:59:13,977 --> 05:59:14,227
to be less than the abatement

10069
05:59:15,977 --> 05:59:16,227
amount otherwise you're just

10070
05:59:17,744 --> 05:59:17,994
gonna keep creating more

10071
05:59:19,511 --> 05:59:19,761
abatements but this is the first

10072
05:59:20,211 --> 05:59:20,461
scenario where you can actually

10073
05:59:23,511 --> 05:59:23,761
see that number in line 26 going

10074
05:59:25,744 --> 05:59:25,994
down and so then the next

10075
05:59:27,477 --> 05:59:27,727
scenario is one that gets a

10076
05:59:28,477 --> 05:59:28,727
little more drastic in terms of

10077
05:59:30,277 --> 05:59:30,527
the effects this is the effect

10078
05:59:32,011 --> 05:59:32,261
where you just get rid of the

10079
05:59:34,011 --> 05:59:34,261
partial abatements you rip off

10080
05:59:35,811 --> 05:59:36,061
the band aid and you're done in

10081
05:59:36,511 --> 05:59:36,761
Fy2029.

10082
05:59:39,711 --> 05:59:39,961
and so you can see I I've

10083
05:59:42,011 --> 05:59:42,261
cleared out linenes19 through

10084
05:59:43,777 --> 05:59:44,027
21 but then you can see what

10085
05:59:45,811 --> 05:59:46,061
happens if you just took the

10086
05:59:47,777 --> 05:59:48,027
assessed value, multiplied it by

10087
05:59:49,977 --> 05:59:50,227
the tax rate for my parcel in

10088
05:59:53,744 --> 05:59:53,994
Fy2029 my tax bill would almost

10089
05:59:55,744 --> 05:59:55,994
double. it would go up by 97.1%.

10090
05:59:58,011 --> 05:59:58,261
and so this is realistically the

10091
05:59:59,744 --> 05:59:59,994
effect of the abatements is you

10092
06:00:01,711 --> 06:00:01,961
have kept the property tax bills

10093
06:00:06,044 --> 06:00:06,294
quite low for a lot of people to

10094
06:00:08,244 --> 06:00:08,494
get rid of that this is your end

10095
06:00:10,011 --> 06:00:10,261
result again not saying that

10096
06:00:10,577 --> 06:00:10,827
this isn't necessarily a

10097
06:00:15,977 --> 06:00:16,227
the viability or reality of this

10098
06:00:18,011 --> 06:00:18,261
option but this is the result at

10099
06:00:19,677 --> 06:00:19,927
least as it pertains to my house

10100
06:00:23,811 --> 06:00:24,061
so moving on then from this

10101
06:00:25,811 --> 06:00:26,061
scenario there is an alternate

10102
06:00:29,511 --> 06:00:29,761
scenario6 where the3% cap is

10103
06:00:32,244 --> 06:00:32,494
maintained but a 25 cent rate is

10104
06:00:34,277 --> 06:00:34,527
applied outside of the partial

10105
06:00:37,477 --> 06:00:37,727
abatements in that year only. So

10106
06:00:39,511 --> 06:00:39,761
under AB489 actually more

10107
06:00:40,144 --> 06:00:40,394
specifically under Senate

10108
06:00:43,777 --> 06:00:44,027
Bill509 of the2005 session there

10109
06:00:45,811 --> 06:00:46,061
was a provision that said that

10110
06:00:49,511 --> 06:00:49,761
any new tax that was imposed by

10111
06:00:50,177 --> 06:00:50,427
the legislature or as a result

10112
06:00:50,844 --> 06:00:51,094
of

10113
06:00:53,511 --> 06:00:53,761
a legislative mandate on or

10114
06:00:56,277 --> 06:00:56,527
after April8,2005 was outside of

10115
06:00:58,044 --> 06:00:58,294
the partial abatements entirely

10116
06:00:59,677 --> 06:00:59,927
that you paid the full rate

10117
06:01:03,777 --> 06:01:04,027
as it stood unless the

10118
06:01:06,011 --> 06:01:06,261
legislature said otherwise. so

10119
06:01:07,744 --> 06:01:07,994
one of the options that you

10120
06:01:10,277 --> 06:01:10,527
could do is make sure if you did

10121
06:01:11,744 --> 06:01:11,994
impose a new radar or if a new

10122
06:01:13,744 --> 06:01:13,994
rate were imposed to keep it

10123
06:01:15,511 --> 06:01:15,761
outside of the abatements in

10124
06:01:17,511 --> 06:01:17,761
that first year and then put it

10125
06:01:19,744 --> 06:01:19,994
back inside the abatements so

10126
06:01:21,511 --> 06:01:21,761
that rate would grow by the

10127
06:01:22,511 --> 06:01:22,761
abatement amount whether it's3

10128
06:01:24,077 --> 06:01:24,327
or8 or whatever the percentage

10129
06:01:26,277 --> 06:01:26,527
is so in that instance my you

10130
06:01:29,844 --> 06:01:30,094
can see that my tax bill or the

10131
06:01:30,511 --> 06:01:30,761
tax rate would go from3 dollars

10132
06:01:33,744 --> 06:01:33,994
66 cents to3 dollars 91 cents

10133
06:01:37,511 --> 06:01:37,761
and then treating that rate as

10134
06:01:38,277 --> 06:01:38,527
you're paying the full value of

10135
06:01:40,044 --> 06:01:40,294
it my tax bill instead of going

10136
06:01:44,011 --> 06:01:44,261
up by the3% would go up by16.9%

10137
06:01:47,511 --> 06:01:47,761
in Fy2029. and then when you

10138
06:01:49,511 --> 06:01:49,761
tuck it back in the entire tax

10139
06:01:52,244 --> 06:01:52,494
bill grows by3%. so it it is a

10140
06:01:54,044 --> 06:01:54,294
way that you if you wanted to

10141
06:01:56,277 --> 06:01:56,527
generate revenue in the short

10142
06:01:58,044 --> 06:01:58,294
term that would grow steadily in

10143
06:01:59,844 --> 06:02:00,094
the longer term that is an

10144
06:02:00,411 --> 06:02:00,661
option that could be

10145
06:02:03,544 --> 06:02:03,794
consideredgain not saying that

10146
06:02:05,644 --> 06:02:05,894
it is a good or bad option but

10147
06:02:06,311 --> 06:02:06,561
it is an option.

10148
06:02:10,077 --> 06:02:10,327
so in table4h this is taking the

10149
06:02:12,011 --> 06:02:12,261
two previous scenarios of you

10150
06:02:13,744 --> 06:02:13,994
get rid of the abatements and

10151
06:02:16,277 --> 06:02:16,527
you attach this rate of of 25

10152
06:02:18,211 --> 06:02:18,461
cents and just let it go as it

10153
06:02:20,244 --> 06:02:20,494
does. so you can see again the

10154
06:02:22,277 --> 06:02:22,527
rate is3 dollars 91 cents in

10155
06:02:25,511 --> 06:02:25,761
table4h but without

10156
06:02:26,311 --> 06:02:26,561
abatements and putting the full

10157
06:02:28,011 --> 06:02:28,261
value of everything instead of

10158
06:02:31,477 --> 06:02:31,727
going up by 97% my tax bill more

10159
06:02:33,511 --> 06:02:33,761
than doubles by it goes up by

10160
06:02:35,677 --> 06:02:35,927
10.5% and then would

10161
06:02:40,011 --> 06:02:40,261
grow by3.83.94% going forward

10162
06:02:42,311 --> 06:02:42,561
because that's how my assessed

10163
06:02:43,744 --> 06:02:43,994
value would grow after

10164
06:02:45,744 --> 06:02:45,994
depreciation in the scenario

10165
06:02:47,944 --> 06:02:48,194
that I've sat here.able for i

10166
06:02:50,277 --> 06:02:50,527
is

10167
06:02:54,011 --> 06:02:54,261
a a scenario that was put

10168
06:02:55,911 --> 06:02:56,161
together based on some previous

10169
06:02:58,644 --> 06:02:58,894
proposals that were put forward

10170
06:03:03,711 --> 06:03:03,961
most notably during I believe

10171
06:03:04,377 --> 06:03:04,627
the 2020

10172
06:03:07,744 --> 06:03:07,994
3 legislative session where

10173
06:03:09,477 --> 06:03:09,727
assembly member Anderson brought

10174
06:03:11,477 --> 06:03:11,727
assembly joint resolution one

10175
06:03:13,511 --> 06:03:13,761
which would have proposed to

10176
06:03:15,744 --> 06:03:15,994
amend the Nevada constitution to

10177
06:03:18,011 --> 06:03:18,261
reset depreciation depreciation

10178
06:03:20,211 --> 06:03:20,461
and the partial abatements when

10179
06:03:22,211 --> 06:03:22,461
a property is sold. so this

10180
06:03:24,011 --> 06:03:24,261
is one that couldn't happen in

10181
06:03:26,044 --> 06:03:26,294
Fy2029 because it requires

10182
06:03:27,777 --> 06:03:28,027
constitutional amendment and it

10183
06:03:29,777 --> 06:03:30,027
couldn't take effect in all

10184
06:03:30,377 --> 06:03:30,627
likelihood that quickly but

10185
06:03:34,044 --> 06:03:34,294
to put it out there I ran the

10186
06:03:36,011 --> 06:03:36,261
scenario on my house and if you

10187
06:03:38,044 --> 06:03:38,294
reset the depreciation and

10188
06:03:39,777 --> 06:03:40,027
partial abatements upon the sale

10189
06:03:42,277 --> 06:03:42,527
of the property in Fy2029 my

10190
06:03:44,511 --> 06:03:44,761
tax bill quadruples or more than

10191
06:03:46,277 --> 06:03:46,527
quadruples it would go up

10192
06:03:51,511 --> 06:03:51,761
by327.9%.gain this is a scenario

10193
06:03:53,511 --> 06:03:53,761
that would have only occurred

10194
06:03:55,844 --> 06:03:56,094
when a property is sold but

10195
06:03:57,777 --> 06:03:58,027
when a property is sold and

10196
06:03:59,777 --> 06:04:00,027
especially on older properties

10197
06:04:00,411 --> 06:04:00,661
you could have potentially have

10198
06:04:01,077 --> 06:04:01,327
fairly dras

10199
06:04:03,744 --> 06:04:03,994
tic effects as it shows

10200
06:04:06,011 --> 06:04:06,261
here.gain not a value judgment

10201
06:04:08,277 --> 06:04:08,527
of anything other than showing

10202
06:04:11,744 --> 06:04:11,994
that this is the effect of of

10203
06:04:13,511 --> 06:04:13,761
what would have happened on my

10204
06:04:15,511 --> 06:04:15,761
house if I were to sell it and

10205
06:04:17,511 --> 06:04:17,761
this is the property tax bill

10206
06:04:20,044 --> 06:04:20,294
that my knew or the new owners

10207
06:04:21,777 --> 06:04:22,027
of my home if they still would

10208
06:04:22,411 --> 06:04:22,661
want it after our basement

10209
06:04:25,844 --> 06:04:26,094
flooded yesterday would would

10210
06:04:26,511 --> 06:04:26,761
be paying

10211
06:04:29,511 --> 06:04:29,761
and so then on the last page is

10212
06:04:31,777 --> 06:04:32,027
tables4J and4k which is

10213
06:04:33,777 --> 06:04:34,027
basically a comparison of all of

10214
06:04:35,777 --> 06:04:36,027
these scenarios so you can see

10215
06:04:37,511 --> 06:04:37,761
the bottom line of the taxes

10216
06:04:39,511 --> 06:04:39,761
that would be due4J is showing

10217
06:04:41,777 --> 06:04:42,027
what the annual tax would be and

10218
06:04:43,844 --> 06:04:44,094
then4k is showing what the

10219
06:04:45,511 --> 06:04:45,761
difference is so you can see

10220
06:04:47,511 --> 06:04:47,761
that ranges from a difference

10221
06:04:51,511 --> 06:04:51,761
of1234 dollars over 10 years by

10222
06:04:54,077 --> 06:04:54,327
changing it from3% to4% to

10223
06:04:55,877 --> 06:04:56,127
alternate scenario eight or if

10224
06:04:56,577 --> 06:04:56,827
you did the reset upon sale

10225
06:04:59,777 --> 06:05:00,027
it would be just over63,000

10226
06:05:01,777 --> 06:05:02,027
dollars in additional taxes over

10227
06:05:03,777 --> 06:05:04,027
that 10 year period. This is the

10228
06:05:05,511 --> 06:05:05,761
meat of what the chair

10229
06:05:06,277 --> 06:05:06,527
asked for these are the

10230
06:05:08,011 --> 06:05:08,261
scenarios that were put

10231
06:05:09,777 --> 06:05:10,027
together. there are all kinds of

10232
06:05:11,511 --> 06:05:11,761
other scenarios that could be

10233
06:05:12,311 --> 06:05:12,561
run relating to property tax but

10234
06:05:14,277 --> 06:05:14,527
again I would note that

10235
06:05:17,777 --> 06:05:18,027
realistically what is the one

10236
06:05:18,477 --> 06:05:18,727
lever that you have to

10237
06:05:23,511 --> 06:05:23,761
pull in order to actually gain

10238
06:05:24,244 --> 06:05:24,494
revenue unless you're going to

10239
06:05:26,011 --> 06:05:26,261
do something outside of the

10240
06:05:27,977 --> 06:05:28,227
partial abatements it it really

10241
06:05:29,711 --> 06:05:29,961
has to do with the abatements

10242
06:05:31,511 --> 06:05:31,761
because the abatements limit the

10243
06:05:32,244 --> 06:05:32,494
amount of taxes that can be paid

10244
06:05:34,311 --> 06:05:34,561
which in turn limits the amount

10245
06:05:36,011 --> 06:05:36,261
of revenue that is received by

10246
06:05:37,677 --> 06:05:37,927
the affected government who

10247
06:05:38,244 --> 06:05:38,494
imposes

10248
06:05:43,877 --> 06:05:44,127
so then in table5

10249
06:05:46,477 --> 06:05:46,727
there are a number of statistics

10250
06:05:48,244 --> 06:05:48,494
that we've put together relating

10251
06:05:51,744 --> 06:05:51,994
to the property tax in

10252
06:05:53,744 --> 06:05:53,994
Nevada and this is all

10253
06:05:54,277 --> 06:05:54,527
information from the department

10254
06:05:56,011 --> 06:05:56,261
of taxation and again I want to

10255
06:05:58,011 --> 06:05:58,261
thank Jeff Mitchell and his

10256
06:05:59,744 --> 06:05:59,994
staff for helping with this

10257
06:06:01,511 --> 06:06:01,761
so this is information on the

10258
06:06:03,511 --> 06:06:03,761
total number of parcels the

10259
06:06:05,777 --> 06:06:06,027
total assessed value how that

10260
06:06:07,744 --> 06:06:07,994
changes from year to year the

10261
06:06:09,744 --> 06:06:09,994
taxes due before and after the

10262
06:06:11,511 --> 06:06:11,761
abatements and then the

10263
06:06:13,511 --> 06:06:13,761
cumulative amount in the last

10264
06:06:14,211 --> 06:06:14,461
column in table ive is when you

10265
06:06:16,477 --> 06:06:16,727
start adding them up the total

10266
06:06:19,744 --> 06:06:19,994
estimated abated revenue for

10267
06:06:21,744 --> 06:06:21,994
each fiscal year that is the end

10268
06:06:24,277 --> 06:06:24,527
result is how much tax was not

10269
06:06:26,244 --> 06:06:26,494
paidgain depending on your point

10270
06:06:28,477 --> 06:06:28,727
of view is this is a a good

10271
06:06:31,811 --> 06:06:32,061
thing for taxpayers or not maybe

10272
06:06:33,744 --> 06:06:33,994
not so good of a thing for local

10273
06:06:35,744 --> 06:06:35,994
governments depending on which

10274
06:06:37,744 --> 06:06:37,994
side of that spectrum you fall.

10275
06:06:39,744 --> 06:06:39,994
so after that there are four

10276
06:06:40,477 --> 06:06:40,727
charts that I put together that

10277
06:06:43,511 --> 06:06:43,761
kind of graphically display some

10278
06:06:44,177 --> 06:06:44,427
of these statistics

10279
06:06:46,311 --> 06:06:46,561
because some people will

10280
06:06:50,211 --> 06:06:50,461
be more in tune with seeing a

10281
06:06:51,744 --> 06:06:51,994
chart than they would be in

10282
06:06:53,777 --> 06:06:54,027
seeing the numbers so5 a chart5

10283
06:06:55,977 --> 06:06:56,227
a is the the number of parcels

10284
06:06:57,711 --> 06:06:57,961
and you could see that there's

10285
06:06:59,477 --> 06:06:59,727
been a fairly steady growth in

10286
06:07:00,211 --> 06:07:00,461
the number of parcels that are

10287
06:07:01,744 --> 06:07:01,994
subject to property tax in

10288
06:07:03,511 --> 06:07:03,761
Nevada especially after the

10289
06:07:05,511 --> 06:07:05,761
great recession it really

10290
06:07:07,477 --> 06:07:07,727
flattened out and the even in a

10291
06:07:08,177 --> 06:07:08,427
few years after the great

10292
06:07:09,977 --> 06:07:10,227
recession, it fell off a little

10293
06:07:12,244 --> 06:07:12,494
bit due to just a slowdown in

10294
06:07:14,477 --> 06:07:14,727
new construction was the primary

10295
06:07:16,144 --> 06:07:16,394
cause for that in chart5D

10296
06:07:21,477 --> 06:07:21,727
or tri5B you can see the

10297
06:07:22,244 --> 06:07:22,494
estimated tax due before and

10298
06:07:24,011 --> 06:07:24,261
after abatements and so up to

10299
06:07:26,277 --> 06:07:26,527
Fy2006 those lines are the same

10300
06:07:28,011 --> 06:07:28,261
because there were no abatements

10301
06:07:31,477 --> 06:07:31,727
and then in Fy2007 you had

10302
06:07:32,477 --> 06:07:32,727
abatements and this is one of

10303
06:07:34,244 --> 06:07:34,494
the charts that I think shows

10304
06:07:35,744 --> 06:07:35,994
one of the reasons why the

10305
06:07:37,744 --> 06:07:37,994
legislature tackled abatements

10306
06:07:39,744 --> 06:07:39,994
in the first place because if

10307
06:07:41,744 --> 06:07:41,994
the abatements had not been put

10308
06:07:43,511 --> 06:07:43,761
into place you would have had

10309
06:07:44,111 --> 06:07:44,361
the blue line and that's the

10310
06:07:44,744 --> 06:07:44,994
amount of taxes that would have

10311
06:07:46,111 --> 06:07:46,361
been paid in some instances

10312
06:07:46,644 --> 06:07:46,894
again people

10313
06:07:49,477 --> 06:07:49,727
would have been paying had

10314
06:07:50,411 --> 06:07:50,661
double digit increases30% or

10315
06:07:51,977 --> 06:07:52,227
more in their tax bill in a

10316
06:07:54,177 --> 06:07:54,427
single year. The tax

10317
06:07:55,977 --> 06:07:56,227
actually paid after the

10318
06:07:57,944 --> 06:07:58,194
abatements not so much. And so

10319
06:07:59,711 --> 06:07:59,961
that was kind of the function of

10320
06:08:01,477 --> 06:08:01,727
the abatements. but then when

10321
06:08:02,444 --> 06:08:02,694
you and this chart you can

10322
06:08:04,244 --> 06:08:04,494
see one of the other things that

10323
06:08:05,944 --> 06:08:06,194
the abatements did is

10324
06:08:10,244 --> 06:08:10,494
it not only limited the growth

10325
06:08:13,744 --> 06:08:13,994
of property taxes in the the

10326
06:08:17,477 --> 06:08:17,727
boom period it also was a

10327
06:08:18,444 --> 06:08:18,694
stabilizer for local government

10328
06:08:20,244 --> 06:08:20,494
revenue during the great

10329
06:08:23,744 --> 06:08:23,994
recession because of a lag in

10330
06:08:26,011 --> 06:08:26,261
the assessed value and what

10331
06:08:28,011 --> 06:08:28,261
ultimately was happening in the

10332
06:08:29,477 --> 06:08:29,727
early parts of the Great

10333
06:08:30,511 --> 06:08:30,761
Recession is assessed values

10334
06:08:31,877 --> 06:08:32,127
were falling

10335
06:08:35,511 --> 06:08:35,761
the val the market value or the

10336
06:08:37,511 --> 06:08:37,761
market for real estate was

10337
06:08:39,677 --> 06:08:39,927
crashing but in a lot of

10338
06:08:40,211 --> 06:08:40,461
instances

10339
06:08:43,944 --> 06:08:44,194
the reductions in assessed value

10340
06:08:45,844 --> 06:08:46,094
that were being seen were still

10341
06:08:49,711 --> 06:08:49,961
causing abatement so that it was

10342
06:08:50,411 --> 06:08:50,661
falling but it was not falling

10343
06:08:51,744 --> 06:08:51,994
enough to the point where you

10344
06:08:55,511 --> 06:08:55,761
would have actually paid less so

10345
06:08:57,511 --> 06:08:57,761
what ended up happening for a

10346
06:08:59,477 --> 06:08:59,727
lot of people in the first few,

10347
06:09:00,211 --> 06:09:00,461
couple of years at least of

10348
06:09:02,411 --> 06:09:02,661
the Great Recession is their

10349
06:09:05,511 --> 06:09:05,761
home values were decreasing but

10350
06:09:07,511 --> 06:09:07,761
even at that decreased level

10351
06:09:08,177 --> 06:09:08,427
there were still abatements that

10352
06:09:10,011 --> 06:09:10,261
were being caused because their

10353
06:09:11,711 --> 06:09:11,961
tax bill still couldn't go up by

10354
06:09:13,977 --> 06:09:14,227
more than3%. So a lot of people

10355
06:09:14,677 --> 06:09:14,927
saw their tax bill still

10356
06:09:15,844 --> 06:09:16,094
increasing but they were still

10357
06:09:16,511 --> 06:09:16,761
paying less

10358
06:09:19,711 --> 06:09:19,961
than they would have if they had

10359
06:09:20,477 --> 06:09:20,727
been paying based on their

10360
06:09:22,011 --> 06:09:22,261
assessed value because it hadn't

10361
06:09:24,244 --> 06:09:24,494
fallen enough for their tax

10362
06:09:25,977 --> 06:09:26,227
bills to fall and in some

10363
06:09:27,844 --> 06:09:28,094
instances there were

10364
06:09:31,744 --> 06:09:31,994
people who still continued to

10365
06:09:33,511 --> 06:09:33,761
pay3% all the way through

10366
06:09:34,211 --> 06:09:34,461
because their assessed values

10367
06:09:36,177 --> 06:09:36,427
never fell below the point where

10368
06:09:37,977 --> 06:09:38,227
they would have been paying less

10369
06:09:40,544 --> 06:09:40,794
but it cca it ended up

10370
06:09:41,011 --> 06:09:41,261
causing

10371
06:09:44,277 --> 06:09:44,527
in some instances revenue to

10372
06:09:46,244 --> 06:09:46,494
stabilize not completely

10373
06:09:48,011 --> 06:09:48,261
because you could see that there

10374
06:09:49,777 --> 06:09:50,027
was still a giant dip in

10375
06:09:52,011 --> 06:09:52,261
revenues but it caused things

10376
06:09:53,644 --> 06:09:53,894
to fall less than they might

10377
06:09:54,211 --> 06:09:54,461
have

10378
06:09:59,744 --> 06:09:59,994
Chart5C is taking those annual

10379
06:10:01,511 --> 06:10:01,761
and cumulative abatement

10380
06:10:02,244 --> 06:10:02,494
amounts. uh, and you can see

10381
06:10:04,211 --> 06:10:04,461
that gap growing over time to

10382
06:10:07,711 --> 06:10:07,961
it's over18 billion dollars over

10383
06:10:09,777 --> 06:10:10,027
time but you can see that amount

10384
06:10:12,244 --> 06:10:12,494
of abatements per fiscal year

10385
06:10:14,011 --> 06:10:14,261
has stayed fairly stable um,

10386
06:10:16,377 --> 06:10:16,627
between1 billion dollars and 2

10387
06:10:17,044 --> 06:10:17,294
billion in

10388
06:10:21,477 --> 06:10:21,727
abated revenue that is not

10389
06:10:23,511 --> 06:10:23,761
paid every year. Um, that amount

10390
06:10:24,244 --> 06:10:24,494
over the last couple of fiscal

10391
06:10:25,811 --> 06:10:26,061
years is falling a little bit

10392
06:10:27,777 --> 06:10:28,027
and I think in a lot of

10393
06:10:29,777 --> 06:10:30,027
instances it's because assessed

10394
06:10:31,977 --> 06:10:32,227
values are not growing as fast

10395
06:10:33,711 --> 06:10:33,961
as the tax bill so that gap is

10396
06:10:34,377 --> 06:10:34,627
is

10397
06:10:39,511 --> 06:10:39,761
and then in chart5D this one is

10398
06:10:41,511 --> 06:10:41,761
messy but we like messy charts

10399
06:10:43,477 --> 06:10:43,727
in the fiscal analysis division.

10400
06:10:45,711 --> 06:10:45,961
this puts together the change

10401
06:10:47,511 --> 06:10:47,761
in assessed value with the

10402
06:10:49,511 --> 06:10:49,761
change in taxes due before and

10403
06:10:51,511 --> 06:10:51,761
after abatements and so it

10404
06:10:52,211 --> 06:10:52,461
really wouldn't surprise you to

10405
06:10:54,011 --> 06:10:54,261
see that the change in assessed

10406
06:10:55,744 --> 06:10:55,994
value and the change in the tax

10407
06:10:57,477 --> 06:10:57,727
due before abatements they

10408
06:10:58,244 --> 06:10:58,494
should move fairly close to each

10409
06:11:00,311 --> 06:11:00,561
other. it's the one that is

10410
06:11:01,977 --> 06:11:02,227
the variable here is the change

10411
06:11:04,277 --> 06:11:04,527
in the tax due after abatement

10412
06:11:05,844 --> 06:11:06,094
and so in the fiscal years where

10413
06:11:09,511 --> 06:11:09,761
the change in the tax due after

10414
06:11:11,511 --> 06:11:11,761
the abatement so when your taxes

10415
06:11:12,244 --> 06:11:12,494
after abatement are growing

10416
06:11:13,977 --> 06:11:14,227
faster than the assessed value

10417
06:11:15,977 --> 06:11:16,227
or the the change in the tax

10418
06:11:17,744 --> 06:11:17,994
due before the abatements those

10419
06:11:19,744 --> 06:11:19,994
are the times where your

10420
06:11:21,744 --> 06:11:21,994
assessed value is dropping and

10421
06:11:23,511 --> 06:11:23,761
so you may actually have your

10422
06:11:24,211 --> 06:11:24,461
revenues growing faster because

10423
06:11:26,244 --> 06:11:26,494
of the abatements then they

10424
06:11:28,477 --> 06:11:28,727
would have otherwise and so you

10425
06:11:30,011 --> 06:11:30,261
see this especially in the

10426
06:11:32,044 --> 06:11:32,294
aftermath of the great recession

10427
06:11:34,044 --> 06:11:34,294
and even a little bit right now

10428
06:11:35,511 --> 06:11:35,761
where you can see that that

10429
06:11:36,044 --> 06:11:36,294
purple line which represents the

10430
06:11:37,977 --> 06:11:38,227
change in the tax due after

10431
06:11:41,511 --> 06:11:41,761
abatement is is less or is

10432
06:11:43,477 --> 06:11:43,727
greater than these changes in

10433
06:11:44,144 --> 06:11:44,394
assessed value or the change in

10434
06:11:46,344 --> 06:11:46,594
the tax that would have been

10435
06:11:46,911 --> 06:11:47,161
due before the payments

10436
06:11:50,344 --> 06:11:50,594
and so then lastly in table six

10437
06:11:54,311 --> 06:11:54,561
this is and

10438
06:11:58,011 --> 06:11:58,261
I this would not be my one of my

10439
06:11:59,977 --> 06:12:00,227
presentations on taxes without

10440
06:12:03,511 --> 06:12:03,761
some history as I have been

10441
06:12:05,711 --> 06:12:05,961
wont to do for this entire

10442
06:12:07,944 --> 06:12:08,194
interim. this is a table of some

10443
06:12:09,511 --> 06:12:09,761
key legislative and

10444
06:12:10,211 --> 06:12:10,461
constitutional history relating

10445
06:12:12,211 --> 06:12:12,461
to the property tax. I'm not

10446
06:12:13,977 --> 06:12:14,227
going to spend a lot of time on

10447
06:12:15,711 --> 06:12:15,961
this. In fact, I'm really not

10448
06:12:16,311 --> 06:12:16,561
going to spend any time on it

10449
06:12:18,177 --> 06:12:18,427
other than pointing it out, but

10450
06:12:19,977 --> 06:12:20,227
I went through and pulled out

10451
06:12:21,777 --> 06:12:22,027
some key provisions so going all

10452
06:12:22,511 --> 06:12:22,761
the way back to the original

10453
06:12:24,311 --> 06:12:24,561
constitution in1864 and it

10454
06:12:24,911 --> 06:12:25,161
basically

10455
06:12:28,311 --> 06:12:28,561
sets the stage for how we've

10456
06:12:30,311 --> 06:12:30,561
gotten to the property tax

10457
06:12:34,011 --> 06:12:34,261
system that we have now

10458
06:12:38,111 --> 06:12:38,361
including how we got to35% of

10459
06:12:38,811 --> 06:12:39,061
the

10460
06:12:43,511 --> 06:12:43,761
taxable value for assessed value

10461
06:12:45,711 --> 06:12:45,961
why we have depreciation on

10462
06:12:46,477 --> 06:12:46,727
improvements and not land and

10463
06:12:47,744 --> 06:12:47,994
things like that and that's an

10464
06:12:49,977 --> 06:12:50,227
iterative process that we

10465
06:12:51,511 --> 06:12:51,761
went through and this goes all

10466
06:12:53,644 --> 06:12:53,894
the way through to 2023 was the

10467
06:12:54,344 --> 06:12:54,594
the biggest significant

10468
06:12:59,511 --> 06:12:59,761
we outlined it in this so

10469
06:13:00,211 --> 06:13:00,461
again madam chairir, I want to

10470
06:13:01,744 --> 06:13:01,994
thank the department of taxation

10471
06:13:03,777 --> 06:13:04,027
and my staff for all of their

10472
06:13:05,711 --> 06:13:05,961
help with this and I know this

10473
06:13:07,744 --> 06:13:07,994
is a lot of information and I am

10474
06:13:09,844 --> 06:13:10,094
open to any questions that I am

10475
06:13:10,511 --> 06:13:10,761
able to answer thank you.

10476
06:13:12,244 --> 06:13:12,494
thank you for your

10477
06:13:13,811 --> 06:13:14,061
presentation.embers do you have

10478
06:13:14,477 --> 06:13:14,727
any questions?

10479
06:13:21,977 --> 06:13:22,227
thank you so much and again

10480
06:13:23,544 --> 06:13:23,794
thank you very much not only for

10481
06:13:24,277 --> 06:13:24,527
recognizing that I brought a

10482
06:13:25,977 --> 06:13:26,227
bill forward and continue to

10483
06:13:27,977 --> 06:13:28,227
feel that we do have some issues

10484
06:13:29,744 --> 06:13:29,994
but also for making it very

10485
06:13:31,744 --> 06:13:31,994
clear that it's the counties

10486
06:13:33,977 --> 06:13:34,227
that are in the cities that are

10487
06:13:35,977 --> 06:13:36,227
being hit harder than the than

10488
06:13:38,277 --> 06:13:38,527
the status when it comes to the

10489
06:13:39,911 --> 06:13:40,161
current property tax structure

10490
06:13:40,577 --> 06:13:40,827
because it is

10491
06:13:43,977 --> 06:13:44,227
again the property tax funds

10492
06:13:46,011 --> 06:13:46,261
it's number 2 you you you said I

10493
06:13:47,744 --> 06:13:47,994
think for the most cities

10494
06:13:50,011 --> 06:13:50,261
counties is that correct for

10495
06:13:51,744 --> 06:13:51,994
thank you assembly member

10496
06:13:53,777 --> 06:13:54,027
Anderson Michael Nakamoto with

10497
06:13:55,477 --> 06:13:55,727
the fiscal analysis division for

10498
06:13:56,211 --> 06:13:56,461
the record it's either number

10499
06:13:59,511 --> 06:13:59,761
1 or2 in in a lot of

10500
06:14:00,277 --> 06:14:00,527
instances it's consolidated

10501
06:14:03,744 --> 06:14:03,994
tax that's number one and then

10502
06:14:05,744 --> 06:14:05,994
followed by property tax but

10503
06:14:07,744 --> 06:14:07,994
in some instances it may be

10504
06:14:08,511 --> 06:14:08,761
property tax that's number one

10505
06:14:09,877 --> 06:14:10,127
but it is a significant portion

10506
06:14:13,977 --> 06:14:14,227
and especially for local

10507
06:14:15,877 --> 06:14:16,127
governments for the state

10508
06:14:17,511 --> 06:14:17,761
again it's the state education

10509
06:14:19,777 --> 06:14:20,027
fund that is primarily affected

10510
06:14:21,777 --> 06:14:22,027
for us and then our debt

10511
06:14:23,477 --> 06:14:23,727
rates to a lesser extent but

10512
06:14:24,277 --> 06:14:24,527
you're absolutely correct. this

10513
06:14:26,011 --> 06:14:26,261
is primarily local governments

10514
06:14:27,544 --> 06:14:27,794
that are affected. I really

10515
06:14:28,277 --> 06:14:28,527
appreciate that clarification

10516
06:14:30,244 --> 06:14:30,494
and then my second question

10517
06:14:32,211 --> 06:14:32,461
again this is great information

10518
06:14:34,011 --> 06:14:34,261
really appreciate it want to

10519
06:14:35,744 --> 06:14:35,994
make sure it's it's very clear,

10520
06:14:38,277 --> 06:14:38,527
I do appreciate all of it.

10521
06:14:39,877 --> 06:14:40,127
does the county however get to

10522
06:14:40,544 --> 06:14:40,794
make a decision

10523
06:14:42,077 --> 06:14:42,327
when there is a

10524
06:14:44,477 --> 06:14:44,727
I'm not sure exactly what it's

10525
06:14:45,777 --> 06:14:46,027
called like if someone were a

10526
06:14:47,511 --> 06:14:47,761
veteran and so they don't have

10527
06:14:49,777 --> 06:14:50,027
to pay the the same amount of

10528
06:14:52,277 --> 06:14:52,527
property taxes or there's a a a

10529
06:14:54,311 --> 06:14:54,561
cut of how much property taxes

10530
06:14:56,277 --> 06:14:56,527
they have to pay based upon

10531
06:14:58,244 --> 06:14:58,494
extenuating circumstances is

10532
06:15:00,144 --> 06:15:00,394
that a county decision or is

10533
06:15:00,744 --> 06:15:00,994
that a state law decision?

10534
06:15:03,977 --> 06:15:04,227
thank you assembly member

10535
06:15:05,744 --> 06:15:05,994
andersonmi Nakamoto with fiscal

10536
06:15:07,511 --> 06:15:07,761
analysis division for the record

10537
06:15:09,777 --> 06:15:10,027
there are a number of exemptions

10538
06:15:12,277 --> 06:15:12,527
that are listed in statute from

10539
06:15:15,744 --> 06:15:15,994
the property tax in most of

10540
06:15:18,311 --> 06:15:18,561
those instances there has to be

10541
06:15:19,511 --> 06:15:19,761
some sort of condition that is

10542
06:15:21,544 --> 06:15:21,794
met, um, for example, you have

10543
06:15:23,877 --> 06:15:24,127
to be an eligible veteran.

10544
06:15:26,044 --> 06:15:26,294
you have to be a veteran who

10545
06:15:28,011 --> 06:15:28,261
is disabled you're a

10546
06:15:30,577 --> 06:15:30,827
charitable institution education

10547
06:15:31,277 --> 06:15:31,527
whatever it is you have

10548
06:15:35,511 --> 06:15:35,761
to meet some sort of of

10549
06:15:36,077 --> 06:15:36,327
criteria that

10550
06:15:40,211 --> 06:15:40,461
exists the state of Nevada and

10551
06:15:41,977 --> 06:15:42,227
it's something that I actually

10552
06:15:43,977 --> 06:15:44,227
meant to put in the the table of

10553
06:15:46,211 --> 06:15:46,461
legislative history back in

10554
06:15:49,744 --> 06:15:49,994
the1973 session the

10555
06:15:50,544 --> 06:15:50,794
legislature created a

10556
06:15:54,211 --> 06:15:54,461
property tax rebate system for

10557
06:15:57,744 --> 06:15:57,994
eligible senior citizens so

10558
06:15:59,511 --> 06:15:59,761
if you met certain criteria

10559
06:16:01,511 --> 06:16:01,761
related to your income related

10560
06:16:03,511 --> 06:16:03,761
to the value of your property

10561
06:16:05,744 --> 06:16:05,994
and so on and and age being one

10562
06:16:07,477 --> 06:16:07,727
of them because this was

10563
06:16:09,477 --> 06:16:09,727
designed for senior citizens you

10564
06:16:11,744 --> 06:16:11,994
could apply for a rebate of some

10565
06:16:14,211 --> 06:16:14,461
of your property tax bill. This

10566
06:16:15,977 --> 06:16:16,227
was actually a a program that

10567
06:16:17,744 --> 06:16:17,994
was funded through state money.

10568
06:16:19,511 --> 06:16:19,761
we didn't actually take money

10569
06:16:20,211 --> 06:16:20,461
back from the local governments

10570
06:16:20,911 --> 06:16:21,161
they were held harmless

10571
06:16:25,711 --> 06:16:25,961
and it was a way to provide some

10572
06:16:28,011 --> 06:16:28,261
sort of property tax relief to

10573
06:16:31,511 --> 06:16:31,761
people who had fixed incomes who

10574
06:16:33,977 --> 06:16:34,227
may may have had difficulty

10575
06:16:35,777 --> 06:16:36,027
paying their property tax bills.

10576
06:16:37,744 --> 06:16:37,994
This was a casualty of the great

10577
06:16:39,744 --> 06:16:39,994
recession the program went

10578
06:16:42,244 --> 06:16:42,494
away it was very briefly revived

10579
06:16:44,244 --> 06:16:44,494
in the 201f session I believe it

10580
06:16:47,511 --> 06:16:47,761
lasted for one fiscal year and

10581
06:16:49,511 --> 06:16:49,761
then it has not been brought

10582
06:16:50,577 --> 06:16:50,827
brought back since but in

10583
06:16:51,177 --> 06:16:51,427
terms of

10584
06:16:54,244 --> 06:16:54,494
things that aren't an exemption

10585
06:16:56,211 --> 06:16:56,461
like the ones that I had

10586
06:16:58,411 --> 06:16:58,661
mentioned previously assembly

10587
06:16:59,744 --> 06:16:59,994
member anderson that's the only

10588
06:17:01,511 --> 06:17:01,761
one that's coming to to my

10589
06:17:03,744 --> 06:17:03,994
mind off the top of my headhes

10590
06:17:05,511 --> 06:17:05,761
there are some local governments

10591
06:17:07,511 --> 06:17:07,761
who may have some sort of things

10592
06:17:08,211 --> 06:17:08,461
that they're doing at the local

10593
06:17:09,944 --> 06:17:10,194
level. I'm not aware of any of

10594
06:17:11,511 --> 06:17:11,761
them but I can't say with any

10595
06:17:13,511 --> 06:17:13,761
certainty that they are or not

10596
06:17:15,511 --> 06:17:15,761
and thank you chair thank you

10597
06:17:16,211 --> 06:17:16,461
for this much time because it

10598
06:17:18,277 --> 06:17:18,527
has been brought to my attention

10599
06:17:20,644 --> 06:17:20,894
from a county and also from a

10600
06:17:21,311 --> 06:17:21,561
city that there's

10601
06:17:23,844 --> 06:17:24,094
some exemptions that were

10602
06:17:24,411 --> 06:17:24,661
awarded

10603
06:17:29,877 --> 06:17:30,127
and let's just say19992001 they

10604
06:17:30,544 --> 06:17:30,794
continues to be with the

10605
06:17:31,111 --> 06:17:31,361
property.

10606
06:17:31,911 --> 06:17:32,161
it is sold

10607
06:17:35,511 --> 06:17:35,761
2 or three times but those

10608
06:17:36,144 --> 06:17:36,394
exemptions continue to be with

10609
06:17:37,777 --> 06:17:38,027
the property so I'm trying to

10610
06:17:39,511 --> 06:17:39,761
figure out if that's part of

10611
06:17:41,477 --> 06:17:41,727
this law or not and so thank you

10612
06:17:43,477 --> 06:17:43,727
so much but that is outside of

10613
06:17:45,477 --> 06:17:45,727
this presentation so I do

10614
06:17:46,244 --> 06:17:46,494
appreciate this time and thank

10615
06:17:48,044 --> 06:17:48,294
you for all that information to

10616
06:17:50,244 --> 06:17:50,494
answer your comment though

10617
06:17:52,011 --> 06:17:52,261
assembly member Andersonmi

10618
06:17:55,477 --> 06:17:55,727
Nakamoto for the record I

10619
06:17:56,277 --> 06:17:56,527
would have to go back and look

10620
06:17:58,011 --> 06:17:58,261
at some of those specific

10621
06:17:59,777 --> 06:18:00,027
exemptions because a lot of

10622
06:18:01,844 --> 06:18:02,094
those may apply to the parcel

10623
06:18:02,511 --> 06:18:02,761
depending on

10624
06:18:05,711 --> 06:18:05,961
some function of what that

10625
06:18:07,477 --> 06:18:07,727
parcel is being used for or some

10626
06:18:09,511 --> 06:18:09,761
condition that applies if there

10627
06:18:12,244 --> 06:18:12,494
is some change in the ownership

10628
06:18:15,511 --> 06:18:15,761
or the use that would trigger a

10629
06:18:16,211 --> 06:18:16,461
change to that that's what would

10630
06:18:18,211 --> 06:18:18,461
trigger that but unless there is

10631
06:18:19,977 --> 06:18:20,227
some sort of trigger that that

10632
06:18:22,011 --> 06:18:22,261
would make it ineligible it

10633
06:18:24,077 --> 06:18:24,327
would ordinarily stay eligible

10634
06:18:28,244 --> 06:18:28,494
for that exemption or or the

10635
06:18:30,177 --> 06:18:30,427
reduction in property. but

10636
06:18:31,944 --> 06:18:32,194
that is I think going to be

10637
06:18:33,711 --> 06:18:33,961
dependent on what the exemption

10638
06:18:35,944 --> 06:18:36,194
or the reduction is one of the

10639
06:18:37,511 --> 06:18:37,761
other things that I will note

10640
06:18:39,777 --> 06:18:40,027
and this goes back to the the

10641
06:18:41,477 --> 06:18:41,727
legislation that you previously

10642
06:18:43,977 --> 06:18:44,227
had brought on the reset of

10643
06:18:45,744 --> 06:18:45,994
the abatements the abatements

10644
06:18:47,977 --> 06:18:48,227
are not specific to the taxpayer

10645
06:18:49,744 --> 06:18:49,994
they're specific to the property

10646
06:18:51,977 --> 06:18:52,227
as well. So if you sell a house

10647
06:18:54,544 --> 06:18:54,794
yours and you let's say I

10648
06:18:55,111 --> 06:18:55,361
bought a new house

10649
06:18:58,211 --> 06:18:58,461
I would pay my tax bill

10650
06:18:59,711 --> 06:18:59,961
assuming it's single family

10651
06:19:01,711 --> 06:19:01,961
owner occupied and not my office

10652
06:19:03,677 --> 06:19:03,927
it would my tax bill would be

10653
06:19:07,477 --> 06:19:07,727
3 % higher than the previous

10654
06:19:08,044 --> 06:19:08,294
year what the previous owner

10655
06:19:10,211 --> 06:19:10,461
paid so the tho those abatements

10656
06:19:12,177 --> 06:19:12,427
stay with the property

10657
06:19:12,677 --> 06:19:12,927
they're not specific to the

10658
06:19:13,211 --> 06:19:13,461
taxpayer.

10659
06:19:19,694 --> 06:19:19,944
thank you for your presentation

10660
06:19:22,244 --> 06:19:22,494
so with that we'll close that

10661
06:19:23,977 --> 06:19:24,227
presentation cause the only

10662
06:19:25,777 --> 06:19:26,027
thing I can see is that you know

10663
06:19:27,744 --> 06:19:27,994
I should take property tax out

10664
06:19:29,744 --> 06:19:29,994
of any future abatement for

10665
06:19:30,311 --> 06:19:30,561
economic development and put it

10666
06:19:30,977 --> 06:19:31,227
back in the pot

10667
06:19:33,477 --> 06:19:33,727
but anyway that's for another

10668
06:19:38,011 --> 06:19:38,261
day so let's move to cause I

10669
06:19:39,511 --> 06:19:39,761

and then we'll come back to the

10671
06:19:43,477 --> 06:19:43,727

today's work session includes8

10725
06:21:21,511 --> 06:21:21,761
items for consideration the

10726
06:21:22,244 --> 06:21:22,494
items consist of recommendations

10727
06:21:24,044 --> 06:21:24,294
submitted by the chair or

10728
06:21:26,011 --> 06:21:26,261
committee members and that the

10729
06:21:26,711 --> 06:21:26,961

not have to support or oppose

10733
06:21:32,577 --> 06:21:32,827
the recommendations in the work

10734
06:21:34,244 --> 06:21:34,494
session document the document

10735
06:21:36,244 --> 06:21:36,494
organizes the recommendations

10736
06:21:37,977 --> 06:21:38,227
such that committee members can

10737
06:21:39,511 --> 06:21:39,761
review them and decide whether

10738
06:21:41,511 --> 06:21:41,761
they wish to accept, reject,

10739
06:21:43,711 --> 06:21:43,961
modify or take no action on

10740
06:21:44,477 --> 06:21:44,727
them. so with that I will begin

10741
06:21:46,144 --> 06:21:46,394
with the first item on the work

10742
06:21:46,811 --> 06:21:47,061
session document

10743
06:21:49,511 --> 06:21:49,761
the first item for consideration

10744
06:21:51,477 --> 06:21:51,727
before the committee is item A

10745
06:21:52,177 --> 06:21:52,427
one concerning economic

10746
06:21:54,177 --> 06:21:54,427
development and tax incentives.

10747
06:21:56,211 --> 06:21:56,461
The proposal is to request the

10748
06:21:58,211 --> 06:21:58,461
drafting of a bill to repeal the

10749
06:22:02,011 --> 06:22:02,261
provisions of nrs360.754

10750
06:22:03,511 --> 06:22:03,761
allowing for the partial

10751
06:22:04,077 --> 06:22:04,327
abatement of certain taxes

10752
06:22:06,244 --> 06:22:06,494
imposed on new or expanded data

10753
06:22:08,277 --> 06:22:08,527
centers and to enact a

10754
06:22:10,211 --> 06:22:10,461
moratorium on the creation or

10755
06:22:12,111 --> 06:22:12,361
expansion of any data centers in

10756
06:22:12,777 --> 06:22:13,027
the state.

10757
06:22:15,477 --> 06:22:15,727
this recommendation is proposed

10758
06:22:16,144 --> 06:22:16,394
by senator neal chair of this

10759
06:22:16,811 --> 06:22:17,061
committee.

10760
06:22:22,211 --> 06:22:22,461
thank you Missowwens members are

10761
06:22:23,844 --> 06:22:24,094
there any questions on a one?

10762
06:22:28,711 --> 06:22:28,961
so similar remember cole

10763
06:22:34,011 --> 06:22:34,261
thank you so much chair madam

10764
06:22:35,744 --> 06:22:35,994
chairir I want to ask

10765
06:22:37,477 --> 06:22:37,727
specifically about the abatement

10766
06:22:38,611 --> 06:22:38,861
discretion piece because I think

10767
06:22:41,511 --> 06:22:41,761
it's relative context for the

10768
06:22:42,277 --> 06:22:42,527
recommendation since I'm new

10769
06:22:43,977 --> 06:22:44,227
to this committee and revenue

10770
06:22:45,477 --> 06:22:45,727
discussions generally I just

10771
06:22:46,211 --> 06:22:46,461
would appreciate the the

10772
06:22:48,277 --> 06:22:48,527
assistance here as I

10773
06:22:50,011 --> 06:22:50,261
understand it during the 2025

10774
06:22:52,011 --> 06:22:52,261
regular session your committee

10775
06:22:55,511 --> 06:22:55,761
considered SB461 which would

10776
06:22:56,144 --> 06:22:56,394
have given the boardard of

10777
06:22:57,711 --> 06:22:57,961
Economic Development discretion

10778
06:22:59,744 --> 06:22:59,994
to limit, reduce or deny

10779
06:23:00,311 --> 06:23:00,561
abatements for projects based on

10780
06:23:00,977 --> 06:23:01,227
water

10781
06:23:03,511 --> 06:23:03,761
use environmental impact and

10782
06:23:05,711 --> 06:23:05,961
other factors that bill never

10783
06:23:07,477 --> 06:23:07,727
came up for committee votes and

10784
06:23:08,511 --> 06:23:08,761
did not move forward but a few

10785
06:23:10,011 --> 06:23:10,261
months later that same kind of

10786
06:23:11,811 --> 06:23:12,061
discretionary authority letting

10787
06:23:14,044 --> 06:23:14,294
the board deny reduce or

10788
06:23:15,777 --> 06:23:16,027
condition an abatement when s

10789
06:23:17,511 --> 06:23:17,761
when the full amount is not in

10790
06:23:18,277 --> 06:23:18,527
the state's best interest pass

10791
06:23:21,511 --> 06:23:21,761
the senate as part of AB594

10792
06:23:22,244 --> 06:23:22,494
unanimously 21 to 0 and was

10793
06:23:22,811 --> 06:23:23,061
signed into law.

10794
06:23:24,577 --> 06:23:24,827
so

10795
06:23:25,977 --> 06:23:26,227
I guess my question is the

10796
06:23:27,511 --> 06:23:27,761
legislature already gave the

10797
06:23:29,477 --> 06:23:29,727
board a case by case tool less

10798
06:23:31,477 --> 06:23:31,727
than a year ago and I'm trying

10799
06:23:32,411 --> 06:23:32,661
to understand why the

10800
06:23:33,611 --> 06:23:33,861
discretionary review

10801
06:23:35,744 --> 06:23:35,994
that currently exists is not

10802
06:23:37,511 --> 06:23:37,761
sufficient and a full moratorium

10803
06:23:39,711 --> 06:23:39,961
is the better path instead so

10804
06:23:41,844 --> 06:23:42,094
thank you for that question so

10805
06:23:43,977 --> 06:23:44,227
you have not been a member of

10806
06:23:46,011 --> 06:23:46,261
this committee but we did have a

10807
06:23:48,011 --> 06:23:48,261
very specific conversation with

10808
06:23:49,944 --> 06:23:50,194
goed and Mr Burns in this

10809
06:23:51,777 --> 06:23:52,027
committee I don't know a couple

10810
06:23:53,511 --> 06:23:53,761
months ago where I asked the

10811
06:23:56,277 --> 06:23:56,527
direct question on what we were

10812
06:23:59,744 --> 06:23:59,994
doing around that provision in

10813
06:24:01,477 --> 06:24:01,727
law that basically said they

10814
06:24:03,511 --> 06:24:03,761
needed to look at water usage

10815
06:24:05,977 --> 06:24:06,227
which is permissive language

10816
06:24:08,277 --> 06:24:08,527
and that I also asked what was

10817
06:24:11,811 --> 06:24:12,061
considered within the abatement

10818
06:24:12,511 --> 06:24:12,761
and what was

10819
06:24:14,111 --> 06:24:14,361
the data centers specifically

10820
06:24:14,777 --> 06:24:15,027
abating

10821
06:24:17,711 --> 06:24:17,961
and in that conversation and in

10822
06:24:19,744 --> 06:24:19,994
that record he specifically

10823
06:24:20,377 --> 06:24:20,627
stated that the personal

10824
06:24:23,511 --> 06:24:23,761
property that was being

10825
06:24:25,911 --> 06:24:26,161
abated is the actual

10826
06:24:31,511 --> 06:24:31,761
I guess GPU or the data center

10827
06:24:34,011 --> 06:24:34,261
component itself that goes into

10828
06:24:37,577 --> 06:24:37,827
the facility so which opened

10829
06:24:38,344 --> 06:24:38,594
the door to the question of

10830
06:24:40,244 --> 06:24:40,494
we're abating the actual thing

10831
06:24:42,011 --> 06:24:42,261
that they're making profit on

10832
06:24:43,977 --> 06:24:44,227
right? so that was brought up in

10833
06:24:45,777 --> 06:24:46,027
that committee hearing that we

10834
06:24:48,011 --> 06:24:48,261
had had where we had goed come

10835
06:24:49,944 --> 06:24:50,194
in and do a discussion around

10836
06:24:50,611 --> 06:24:50,861
the abatement.

10837
06:24:51,744 --> 06:24:51,994
so

10838
06:24:55,511 --> 06:24:55,761
this particular item a one is

10839
06:24:56,211 --> 06:24:56,461
because when if you've been

10840
06:24:57,977 --> 06:24:58,227
paying attention to the news

10841
06:24:58,611 --> 06:24:58,861
number one these are

10842
06:25:02,444 --> 06:25:02,694
billionaire investments

10843
06:25:06,544 --> 06:25:06,794
and there is no actual need for

10844
06:25:09,544 --> 06:25:09,794
them to continue to have a

10845
06:25:12,044 --> 06:25:12,294
partial abatement of taxes for a

10846
06:25:12,711 --> 06:25:12,961
data center that they can afford

10847
06:25:15,644 --> 06:25:15,894
to pay for themselves number one

10848
06:25:19,511 --> 06:25:19,761
to the moratorium has the focus

10849
06:25:21,777 --> 06:25:22,027
to create a number one a pause

10850
06:25:23,744 --> 06:25:23,994
on the creation of expansion of

10851
06:25:26,211 --> 06:25:26,461
data centers we are in a

10852
06:25:28,211 --> 06:25:28,461
particular state in Nevada or

10853
06:25:29,777 --> 06:25:30,027
was put on the record that we

10854
06:25:32,011 --> 06:25:32,261
are currently66 in the state of

10855
06:25:35,511 --> 06:25:35,761
Nevada we have 22 that were in

10856
06:25:37,944 --> 06:25:38,194
potential contract or could

10857
06:25:39,944 --> 06:25:40,194
come online right? we've had

10858
06:25:41,777 --> 06:25:42,027
consistent conversations across

10859
06:25:44,011 --> 06:25:44,261
the state of Nevada from Boulder

10860
06:25:45,677 --> 06:25:45,927
City toye County

10861
06:25:49,511 --> 06:25:49,761
talking about actually in

10862
06:25:51,477 --> 06:25:51,727
henderson too talking about

10863
06:25:53,477 --> 06:25:53,727
moratoriums and talking about

10864
06:25:55,977 --> 06:25:56,227
putting a pause until we could

10865
06:25:58,177 --> 06:25:58,427
examine number one the impact

10866
06:25:59,977 --> 06:26:00,227
around natural resources right?

10867
06:26:03,511 --> 06:26:03,761
waterter although information

10868
06:26:04,244 --> 06:26:04,494
was put in the record

10869
06:26:09,477 --> 06:26:09,727
saying that certain data centers

10870
06:26:11,744 --> 06:26:11,994
have adapted different qualities

10871
06:26:14,011 --> 06:26:14,261
where they are using less

10872
06:26:15,644 --> 06:26:15,894
water that is not all right if

10873
06:26:16,344 --> 06:26:16,594
you

10874
06:26:18,011 --> 06:26:18,261
are familiar with the growth and

10875
06:26:19,744 --> 06:26:19,994
infrastructure hearing that

10876
06:26:21,977 --> 06:26:22,227
happened when Howard assemblyman

10877
06:26:23,977 --> 06:26:24,227
Howard Watts was the chair where

10878
06:26:25,977 --> 06:26:26,227
there was information put out

10879
06:26:27,677 --> 06:26:27,927
there around legacy data centers

10880
06:26:28,444 --> 06:26:28,694
and how much water usage they

10881
06:26:31,544 --> 06:26:31,794
are actually using it was

10882
06:26:32,111 --> 06:26:32,361
significant and substantial.

10883
06:26:35,711 --> 06:26:35,961
wa ter is not something we can

10884
06:26:36,344 --> 06:26:36,594
get back.

10885
06:26:38,011 --> 06:26:38,261
it is not something that we can

10886
06:26:40,211 --> 06:26:40,461
recreate. It is also popping up

10887
06:26:42,211 --> 06:26:42,461
as a constant conversation now

10888
06:26:43,977 --> 06:26:44,227
that the new allocation on the

10889
06:26:47,744 --> 06:26:47,994
Colorado river is71% less than

10890
06:26:49,511 --> 06:26:49,761
the allocation that we currently

10891
06:26:51,511 --> 06:26:51,761
had in the Colorado river. I

10892
06:26:53,777 --> 06:26:54,027
think it's time to start having

10893
06:26:55,511 --> 06:26:55,761
a conversation about how we're

10894
06:26:56,111 --> 06:26:56,361
number one going to protect

10895
06:26:59,511 --> 06:26:59,761
Nevada resources. there is also

10896
06:27:00,244 --> 06:27:00,494
data and information that's been

10897
06:27:01,744 --> 06:27:01,994
put out in various different

10898
06:27:04,011 --> 06:27:04,261
circumstances where even on the

10899
06:27:05,644 --> 06:27:05,894
electricity side it is not

10900
06:27:08,011 --> 06:27:08,261
just electricity but it is

10901
06:27:09,977 --> 06:27:10,227
electricity and water because

10902
06:27:11,744 --> 06:27:11,994
there is some water usage

10903
06:27:12,344 --> 06:27:12,594
associated with electricity

10904
06:27:16,011 --> 06:27:16,261
I think placing a moratorium

10905
06:27:17,677 --> 06:27:17,927
and trying to slow down

10906
06:27:19,844 --> 06:27:20,094
the impact

10907
06:27:24,044 --> 06:27:24,294
to nevada to nevada citizens is

10908
06:27:24,777 --> 06:27:25,027
not only appropriate but needed.

10909
06:27:28,211 --> 06:27:28,461
if you look across the

10910
06:27:32,211 --> 06:27:32,461
landscape of this country we

10911
06:27:34,211 --> 06:27:34,461
are not the only state that is

10912
06:27:37,511 --> 06:27:37,761
considering or has put on an

10913
06:27:38,444 --> 06:27:38,694
agenda a moratorium. it is not

10914
06:27:39,111 --> 06:27:39,361
new

10915
06:27:42,011 --> 06:27:42,261
it is a conversation where the

10916
06:27:45,744 --> 06:27:45,994
hyper scale data centers that

10917
06:27:47,777 --> 06:27:48,027
are being produced as size of

10918
06:27:48,444 --> 06:27:48,694
football fields are

10919
06:27:53,477 --> 06:27:53,727
something worth a discussion not

10920
06:27:54,477 --> 06:27:54,727
only for you know what has been

10921
06:27:55,977 --> 06:27:56,227
various remarks around what's

10922
06:28:01,944 --> 06:28:02,194
potential pollution also I

10923
06:28:03,977 --> 06:28:04,227
have at some point and it's not

10924
06:28:05,744 --> 06:28:05,994
the total point that I've

10925
06:28:07,744 --> 06:28:07,994
depended on but I have reviewed

10926
06:28:09,711 --> 06:28:09,961
the DrI study which was

10927
06:28:11,511 --> 06:28:11,761
challenged by the data centers

10928
06:28:13,511 --> 06:28:13,761
to say oh you know that wasn't

10929
06:28:14,211 --> 06:28:14,461
necessarily good research and I

10930
06:28:17,477 --> 06:28:17,727
and I rebuffed that comment

10931
06:28:18,211 --> 06:28:18,461
because I was just like if if

10932
06:28:19,644 --> 06:28:19,894
we're at the stage where we're

10933
06:28:20,344 --> 06:28:20,594
now trying to say that a

10934
06:28:23,511 --> 06:28:23,761
publicly funded research

10935
06:28:24,111 --> 06:28:24,361
institution in the state of

10936
06:28:25,977 --> 06:28:26,227
Nevada is putting out bad

10937
06:28:28,244 --> 06:28:28,494
research therefore I take issue

10938
06:28:31,511 --> 06:28:31,761
right with that multiple times

10939
06:28:33,744 --> 06:28:33,994
cuz I had several comments

10940
06:28:35,744 --> 06:28:35,994
after I had that meeting saying

10941
06:28:37,511 --> 06:28:37,761
that DrI study you know there

10942
06:28:39,511 --> 06:28:39,761
wasn't the best study they

10943
06:28:40,211 --> 06:28:40,461
didn't do a lot of the you know

10944
06:28:42,011 --> 06:28:42,261
appropriate information and I

10945
06:28:43,744 --> 06:28:43,994
was like so now we're downing

10946
06:28:44,444 --> 06:28:44,694
the scientists who actually

10947
06:28:45,011 --> 06:28:45,261
earned a degree

10948
06:28:48,011 --> 06:28:48,261
and have successfully been

10949
06:28:50,011 --> 06:28:50,261
the research institute in the in

10950
06:28:50,677 --> 06:28:50,927
the state

10951
06:28:52,544 --> 06:28:52,794
so I as a chair

10952
06:28:56,177 --> 06:28:56,427
and putting this forward because

10953
06:28:59,977 --> 06:29:00,227
Ii want a pause and I believe

10954
06:29:01,977 --> 06:29:02,227
it's inappropriate because of

10955
06:29:03,977 --> 06:29:04,227
the political sentiment that's

10956
06:29:05,844 --> 06:29:06,094
been going on and the research

10957
06:29:06,477 --> 06:29:06,727
that's been going on

10958
06:29:09,711 --> 06:29:09,961
I'm not adding any anymore to

10959
06:29:11,511 --> 06:29:11,761
that because I've been very

10960
06:29:12,111 --> 06:29:12,361
careful about putting certain

10961
06:29:14,011 --> 06:29:14,261
things on the record just

10962
06:29:17,477 --> 06:29:17,727
because I'm not trying to

10963
06:29:19,711 --> 06:29:19,961
give the data centers and

10964
06:29:20,277 --> 06:29:20,527
edge upp

10965
06:29:22,411 --> 06:29:22,661
on what I think is my

10966
06:29:23,977 --> 06:29:24,227
potential research and

10967
06:29:26,077 --> 06:29:26,327
commentary that might be used

10968
06:29:26,744 --> 06:29:26,994
for the legislative session

10969
06:29:29,911 --> 06:29:30,161
I have actually been asked

10970
06:29:34,011 --> 06:29:34,261
what have I read and I was

10971
06:29:35,977 --> 06:29:36,227
just like why should I share

10972
06:29:38,244 --> 06:29:38,494
every single research document

10973
06:29:40,111 --> 06:29:40,361
that I've read when literally

10974
06:29:40,777 --> 06:29:41,027
you can google it

10975
06:29:44,244 --> 06:29:44,494
so every piece of information

10976
06:29:45,977 --> 06:29:46,227
that's out there on data centers

10977
06:29:48,244 --> 06:29:48,494
is publicly available

10978
06:29:51,511 --> 06:29:51,761
negative positive or otherwise.

10979
06:29:53,511 --> 06:29:53,761
I know people feel that you know

10980
06:29:55,511 --> 06:29:55,761
AI has been a positive but it's

10981
06:29:58,211 --> 06:29:58,461
also has some negative and the

10982
06:30:00,211 --> 06:30:00,461
data centers that are producing

10983
06:30:02,244 --> 06:30:02,494
this technology I think we need

10984
06:30:04,011 --> 06:30:04,261
to put a pause and we need to

10985
06:30:06,444 --> 06:30:06,694
have a conversation around what

10986
06:30:07,111 --> 06:30:07,361
is best for Nevada.

10987
06:30:10,344 --> 06:30:10,594
are our natural resources being

10988
06:30:10,977 --> 06:30:11,227
impacted

10989
06:30:13,977 --> 06:30:14,227
I think the issue that's

10990
06:30:16,444 --> 06:30:16,694
happened at rick is a is a

10991
06:30:18,211 --> 06:30:18,461
big mental note I think the

10992
06:30:19,744 --> 06:30:19,994
issue that's happened at Boulder

10993
06:30:22,211 --> 06:30:22,461
City where data centers put

10994
06:30:23,977 --> 06:30:24,227
on federal land completely

10995
06:30:25,511 --> 06:30:25,761
ignoring what the Boulder

10996
06:30:26,077 --> 06:30:26,327
cityity chose or what they

10997
06:30:26,677 --> 06:30:26,927
wanted to do

10998
06:30:29,777 --> 06:30:30,027
it's also something that we need

10999
06:30:31,544 --> 06:30:31,794
to be examining because as a

11000
06:30:32,444 --> 06:30:32,694
state we need to be centered

11001
06:30:33,011 --> 06:30:33,261
around

11002
06:30:38,344 --> 06:30:38,594
what is best and good for the

11003
06:30:39,044 --> 06:30:39,294
survival

11004
06:30:40,244 --> 06:30:40,494
of our people

11005
06:30:44,177 --> 06:30:44,427
and on my final statement will

11006
06:30:46,211 --> 06:30:46,461
be that the statement that I've

11007
06:30:49,977 --> 06:30:50,227
made publicly is to allow one

11008
06:30:53,711 --> 06:30:53,961
business client in this state to

11009
06:30:55,711 --> 06:30:55,961
use all of the resources or

11010
06:30:59,477 --> 06:30:59,727
maximize the use of natural

11011
06:31:00,444 --> 06:31:00,694
resources such as water and to

11012
06:31:03,777 --> 06:31:04,027
leave nothing in spa in in the

11013
06:31:05,511 --> 06:31:05,761
space for another business

11014
06:31:06,211 --> 06:31:06,461
client it's actually not

11015
06:31:07,977 --> 06:31:08,227
economic development it actually

11016
06:31:09,777 --> 06:31:10,027
is the reverse of economic

11017
06:31:11,811 --> 06:31:12,061
development because I think the

11018
06:31:12,477 --> 06:31:12,727
question that we should be

11019
06:31:13,044 --> 06:31:13,294
asking

11020
06:31:14,211 --> 06:31:14,461
ourselves is if the next client

11021
06:31:17,477 --> 06:31:17,727
comes and they need water right

11022
06:31:19,511 --> 06:31:19,761
and let's say that there that

11023
06:31:21,977 --> 06:31:22,227
you know we're wrong on this

11024
06:31:24,211 --> 06:31:24,461
water allocation on what they

11025
06:31:25,977 --> 06:31:26,227
claim their water allocation is

11026
06:31:28,177 --> 06:31:28,427
and it actually is in excess of

11027
06:31:29,877 --> 06:31:30,127
what we're able to identify.

11028
06:31:33,711 --> 06:31:33,961
then what does that tell us that

11029
06:31:35,477 --> 06:31:35,727
the next business client that

11030
06:31:36,611 --> 06:31:36,861
comes to the state of Nevada

11031
06:31:37,277 --> 06:31:37,527
should have available to them

11032
06:31:40,211 --> 06:31:40,461
should their actions to come in

11033
06:31:42,211 --> 06:31:42,461
and diversify the economic

11034
06:31:44,211 --> 06:31:44,461
status of Nevada be different

11035
06:31:45,711 --> 06:31:45,961
because now all of a sudden

11036
06:31:46,344 --> 06:31:46,594
we're saying there is no water

11037
06:31:50,011 --> 06:31:50,261
there's no more water in the

11038
06:31:52,011 --> 06:31:52,261
Colorado river for us to get and

11039
06:31:53,977 --> 06:31:54,227
therefore changing thy dynamic

11040
06:31:56,311 --> 06:31:56,561
and I think for myself these are

11041
06:31:59,511 --> 06:31:59,761
my opinions that we are

11042
06:32:00,277 --> 06:32:00,527
moving in a direction that we

11043
06:32:03,511 --> 06:32:03,761
need to put a pause and think

11044
06:32:05,511 --> 06:32:05,761
clearly about the generation

11045
06:32:06,511 --> 06:32:06,761
that comes behind us the

11046
06:32:08,277 --> 06:32:08,527
generation that will be the eth

11047
06:32:10,244 --> 06:32:10,494
generation that comes behind us

11048
06:32:12,044 --> 06:32:12,294
and making sure that we have

11049
06:32:13,777 --> 06:32:14,027
enough resources to sustain

11050
06:32:16,111 --> 06:32:16,361
Nevada and Nevadans and so that

11051
06:32:16,744 --> 06:32:16,994
is my

11052
06:32:17,644 --> 06:32:17,894
opinion and those are my

11053
06:32:18,211 --> 06:32:18,461
comments

11054
06:32:20,744 --> 06:32:20,994
I don't know if that helps you

11055
06:32:25,511 --> 06:32:25,761
thank you and that was a very

11056
06:32:26,277 --> 06:32:26,527
robust answer and I appreciate

11057
06:32:28,044 --> 06:32:28,294
that very much and and your

11058
06:32:30,277 --> 06:32:30,527
passion for the issues if I

11059
06:32:33,511 --> 06:32:33,761
may just a quick followup

11060
06:32:35,744 --> 06:32:35,994
regarding specifically the goed

11061
06:32:37,511 --> 06:32:37,761
piece I think what I heard you

11062
06:32:38,277 --> 06:32:38,527
say is that it's permissive

11063
06:32:40,011 --> 06:32:40,261
language is essentially what was

11064
06:32:41,744 --> 06:32:41,994
passed and that your concern is

11065
06:32:44,244 --> 06:32:44,494
is that goed can but is not

11066
06:32:46,211 --> 06:32:46,461
necessarily mandating those

11067
06:32:48,277 --> 06:32:48,527
reductions in abatements based

11068
06:32:50,011 --> 06:32:50,261
on the issues that we just

11069
06:32:52,111 --> 06:32:52,361
discussed yes so we had a full

11070
06:32:52,777 --> 06:32:53,027
conversation

11071
06:32:54,011 --> 06:32:54,261
or

11072
06:32:57,511 --> 06:32:57,761
I won't say it was pretty full

11073
06:32:58,411 --> 06:32:58,661
with a director Burns on

11074
06:33:04,244 --> 06:33:04,494
whether or not we were actively

11075
06:33:06,077 --> 06:33:06,327
using that provision in law.

11076
06:33:09,844 --> 06:33:10,094
to make sure that

11077
06:33:12,177 --> 06:33:12,427
the

11078
06:33:17,777 --> 06:33:18,027
provision on water impact was

11079
06:33:19,744 --> 06:33:19,994
being mitigated by goed. I know

11080
06:33:21,477 --> 06:33:21,727
one of my direct questions and

11081
06:33:22,211 --> 06:33:22,461
it I don't know if our minutes

11082
06:33:24,244 --> 06:33:24,494
are available was if that was

11083
06:33:26,277 --> 06:33:26,527
the case then how was it that

11084
06:33:28,011 --> 06:33:28,261
legacy centers were

11085
06:33:29,777 --> 06:33:30,027
grandfathered in to continue to

11086
06:33:31,744 --> 06:33:31,994
use the level of water that they

11087
06:33:33,777 --> 06:33:34,027
were using because if that was

11088
06:33:35,977 --> 06:33:36,227
the case the statute should have

11089
06:33:36,711 --> 06:33:36,961
prevented the grandfathering in

11090
06:33:40,277 --> 06:33:40,527
of that water usage and then

11091
06:33:42,244 --> 06:33:42,494
there was a pivot in the

11092
06:33:44,011 --> 06:33:44,261
conversation where director

11093
06:33:45,977 --> 06:33:46,227
Bynes said you should ask the

11094
06:33:47,744 --> 06:33:47,994
southern Nevada water Authority

11095
06:33:49,644 --> 06:33:49,894
how they were grandfathered in

11096
06:33:50,311 --> 06:33:50,561
and then the conversation end

11097
06:33:53,644 --> 06:33:53,894
Thank you I appreciate that nu

11098
06:33:59,644 --> 06:33:59,894
Butembliment packard

11099
06:34:00,211 --> 06:34:00,461
hatchet

11100
06:34:04,444 --> 06:34:04,694
thank you madam chairir yessy

11101
06:34:05,977 --> 06:34:06,227
and patchett and I'm way newer

11102
06:34:08,311 --> 06:34:08,561
than assembly member cole so

11103
06:34:08,877 --> 06:34:09,127
bear with me

11104
06:34:13,711 --> 06:34:13,961
given that you know my

11105
06:34:15,711 --> 06:34:15,961
question is really surrounded by

11106
06:34:16,444 --> 06:34:16,694
kind of the topic of the day

11107
06:34:18,244 --> 06:34:18,494
earlier on in the day regarding

11108
06:34:19,811 --> 06:34:20,061
the kind of federalism the

11109
06:34:22,011 --> 06:34:22,261
concept of local control and so

11110
06:34:24,011 --> 06:34:24,261
you're listed off at several

11111
06:34:25,744 --> 06:34:25,994
issues that you have with data

11112
06:34:27,477 --> 06:34:27,727
centers and you know I'm not

11113
06:34:28,111 --> 06:34:28,361
here to debate whether or not

11114
06:34:29,977 --> 06:34:30,227
those are valid or or otherwise

11115
06:34:30,644 --> 06:34:30,894
however

11116
06:34:33,977 --> 06:34:34,227
currently the the undernevada

11117
06:34:36,344 --> 06:34:36,594
law there's broad authority

11118
06:34:39,644 --> 06:34:39,894
given to to cities and counties

11119
06:34:40,311 --> 06:34:40,561
to

11120
06:34:42,344 --> 06:34:42,594
regulate and and

11121
06:34:47,777 --> 06:34:48,027
really enforce land use and

11122
06:34:48,344 --> 06:34:48,594
development within their

11123
06:34:48,844 --> 06:34:49,094
jurisdictions

11124
06:34:53,511 --> 06:34:53,761
that being the case what problem

11125
06:34:54,444 --> 06:34:54,694
outside of those listed and it

11126
06:34:55,744 --> 06:34:55,994
can be handled by a local

11127
06:34:57,777 --> 06:34:58,027
jurisdiction would be solved by

11128
06:35:00,177 --> 06:35:00,427
having a statewide moratorium

11129
06:35:00,844 --> 06:35:01,094
imposed

11130
06:35:06,011 --> 06:35:06,261
so let me try to figure out the

11131
06:35:07,511 --> 06:35:07,761
first part. so the first part

11132
06:35:09,977 --> 06:35:10,227
you're saying that the cities

11133
06:35:12,177 --> 06:35:12,427
or counties have direct control

11134
06:35:14,177 --> 06:35:14,427
over their land usage so

11135
06:35:16,177 --> 06:35:16,427
therefore are you saying the

11136
06:35:16,777 --> 06:35:17,027
state has no role to dictate?

11137
06:35:19,944 --> 06:35:20,194
no what'm what I'm saying is

11138
06:35:21,744 --> 06:35:21,994
under state law currently local

11139
06:35:23,511 --> 06:35:23,761
jurisdictions or local

11140
06:35:25,777 --> 06:35:26,027
governments do have broad

11141
06:35:27,711 --> 06:35:27,961
authority to regulate the land

11142
06:35:28,377 --> 06:35:28,627
use and development within their

11143
06:35:29,044 --> 06:35:29,294
jurisdictions

11144
06:35:32,011 --> 06:35:32,261
we have a case currently where a

11145
06:35:34,244 --> 06:35:34,494
moratorium been imposed by a

11146
06:35:36,077 --> 06:35:36,327
municipality that being the city

11147
06:35:36,711 --> 06:35:36,961
of henderson

11148
06:35:38,611 --> 06:35:38,861
to address some of the issues

11149
06:35:39,277 --> 06:35:39,527
that you've raised

11150
06:35:43,944 --> 06:35:44,194
right so outside of the

11151
06:35:45,477 --> 06:35:45,727
issues that you've raised what

11152
06:35:47,944 --> 06:35:48,194
what problem would a statewide

11153
06:35:50,211 --> 06:35:50,461
mor moratorium resolve versus

11154
06:35:51,977 --> 06:35:52,227
what a local jurisdiction can

11155
06:35:53,677 --> 06:35:53,927
can basically handle on their

11156
06:35:54,344 --> 06:35:54,594
own

11157
06:35:56,077 --> 06:35:56,327
so thank you for the question so

11158
06:35:59,977 --> 06:36:00,227
so first I thought Henderson put

11159
06:36:01,777 --> 06:36:02,027
it on the agenda but it didn't

11160
06:36:03,744 --> 06:36:03,994
pass so maybe I'm ri wrong about

11161
06:36:05,477 --> 06:36:05,727
that but I thought they put it

11162
06:36:06,211 --> 06:36:06,461
up and then it they didn't move

11163
06:36:07,944 --> 06:36:08,194
forward and they decided to do

11164
06:36:10,211 --> 06:36:10,461
some local reg and have a

11165
06:36:10,777 --> 06:36:11,027
conversationny county

11166
06:36:12,544 --> 06:36:12,794
is the only one that actually

11167
06:36:13,144 --> 06:36:13,394
has done the moratorium

11168
06:36:17,477 --> 06:36:17,727
so what I think would is

11169
06:36:19,744 --> 06:36:19,994
appropriate right is because

11170
06:36:21,744 --> 06:36:21,994
number one a local governments

11171
06:36:23,544 --> 06:36:23,794
and cities are still creatures

11172
06:36:25,511 --> 06:36:25,761
of the state. I don't believe we

11173
06:36:27,977 --> 06:36:28,227
relinquished control over

11174
06:36:29,977 --> 06:36:30,227
whether or not what a city and a

11175
06:36:31,977 --> 06:36:32,227
county and what the state can

11176
06:36:34,411 --> 06:36:34,661
tell a city or county to do so

11177
06:36:35,111 --> 06:36:35,361
in this case right

11178
06:36:38,244 --> 06:36:38,494
it is the state acting on behalf

11179
06:36:40,244 --> 06:36:40,494
because of the spotty you know

11180
06:36:43,477 --> 06:36:43,727
movement between you know the

11181
06:36:45,511 --> 06:36:45,761
henderson council that took

11182
06:36:47,744 --> 06:36:47,994
it up Nny County I believe took

11183
06:36:49,744 --> 06:36:49,994
it up twice ending with a

11184
06:36:51,477 --> 06:36:51,727
moratorium boulder cityity

11185
06:36:53,477 --> 06:36:53,727
wanting to do something that the

11186
06:36:56,011 --> 06:36:56,261
state is is stepping in because

11187
06:36:57,511 --> 06:36:57,761
under you know just believing

11188
06:36:59,777 --> 06:37:00,027
for public policy purposes and

11189
06:37:03,511 --> 06:37:03,761
using our power to number one

11190
06:37:04,344 --> 06:37:04,594
police data centers too

11191
06:37:07,977 --> 06:37:08,227
go and try to make sure that

11192
06:37:10,244 --> 06:37:10,494
there are legitimate concerns

11193
06:37:14,244 --> 06:37:14,494
and conflicts that are being

11194
06:37:15,744 --> 06:37:15,994
mitigated at the state level in

11195
06:37:18,011 --> 06:37:18,261
one shot right? so when the

11196
06:37:19,744 --> 06:37:19,994
state steps in it kind of sets

11197
06:37:21,711 --> 06:37:21,961
the standard of what will be

11198
06:37:22,577 --> 06:37:22,827
right rather than what

11199
06:37:26,177 --> 06:37:26,427
are have been the local fights

11200
06:37:29,944 --> 06:37:30,194
or one offs I think this is

11201
06:37:32,211 --> 06:37:32,461
an issue that has been lifted up

11202
06:37:33,977 --> 06:37:34,227
enough in terms of public

11203
06:37:36,211 --> 06:37:36,461
opinion in terms of issues

11204
06:37:39,477 --> 06:37:39,727
related to water resources in

11205
06:37:40,211 --> 06:37:40,461
terms of issues related to the

11206
06:37:42,544 --> 06:37:42,794
se1% reduction on the Colorado

11207
06:37:43,211 --> 06:37:43,461
River

11208
06:37:46,177 --> 06:37:46,427
that the state should take a

11209
06:37:48,444 --> 06:37:48,694
good look there's also been very

11210
06:37:49,711 --> 06:37:49,961
distinct conversations around

11211
06:37:52,144 --> 06:37:52,394
when they've talked about the

11212
06:37:55,777 --> 06:37:56,027
water usage and the NDA's that

11213
06:37:58,211 --> 06:37:58,461
are now following the water

11214
06:38:01,811 --> 06:38:02,061
usage that is put within the

11215
06:38:05,511 --> 06:38:05,761
I guess the I don't know if it's

11216
06:38:06,244 --> 06:38:06,494
the state and local contracts

11217
06:38:08,211 --> 06:38:08,461
which is just not here but other

11218
06:38:11,477 --> 06:38:11,727
places where a nondisclosure is

11219
06:38:12,444 --> 06:38:12,694
being put up for the allocation

11220
06:38:13,977 --> 06:38:14,227
so what's been a common theme

11221
06:38:16,177 --> 06:38:16,427
nationally has been that they'll

11222
06:38:19,711 --> 06:38:19,961
go in put in their agenda item

11223
06:38:20,311 --> 06:38:20,561
they'll say what their

11224
06:38:22,211 --> 06:38:22,461
allocation they think their

11225
06:38:23,977 --> 06:38:24,227
allocation is going to be or

11226
06:38:24,544 --> 06:38:24,794
what they believe that their

11227
06:38:27,511 --> 06:38:27,761
usage is going to be and then

11228
06:38:29,511 --> 06:38:29,761
when when there's an NDA

11229
06:38:31,844 --> 06:38:32,094
associated with the actual usage

11230
06:38:32,511 --> 06:38:32,761
at the end

11231
06:38:35,511 --> 06:38:35,761
and then there is a foyer

11232
06:38:36,177 --> 06:38:36,427
request that is then denied

11233
06:38:36,744 --> 06:38:36,994
right

11234
06:38:40,144 --> 06:38:40,394
and so so you could really

11235
06:38:42,177 --> 06:38:42,427
ascertain did you say you're

11236
06:38:45,477 --> 06:38:45,727
gonna use325,000 gallons of

11237
06:38:47,511 --> 06:38:47,761
water and then was the end

11238
06:38:49,744 --> 06:38:49,994
result450,000 gallons of water.

11239
06:38:51,711 --> 06:38:51,961
there's been a constant

11240
06:38:53,977 --> 06:38:54,227
discussion nationally on whether

11241
06:38:55,944 --> 06:38:56,194
or not you know different states

11242
06:38:56,644 --> 06:38:56,894
could get that information

11243
06:38:58,211 --> 06:38:58,461
achieve that information we

11244
06:38:59,977 --> 06:39:00,227
don't want that to happen in

11245
06:39:03,511 --> 06:39:03,761
Nevada. we also don't want a

11246
06:39:04,211 --> 06:39:04,461
situation where we don't have

11247
06:39:06,411 --> 06:39:06,661
any kind of say or control if

11248
06:39:07,077 --> 06:39:07,327
you've looked

11249
06:39:11,977 --> 06:39:12,227
inor I believe it's inor where

11250
06:39:14,411 --> 06:39:14,661
they have they've gotten

11251
06:39:19,477 --> 06:39:19,727
water rights then they sued over

11252
06:39:22,177 --> 06:39:22,427
when the when the city

11253
06:39:23,944 --> 06:39:24,194
basically was saying you've used

11254
06:39:25,744 --> 06:39:25,994
too much right and then they're

11255
06:39:27,511 --> 06:39:27,761
suing to continue to use it.

11256
06:39:29,944 --> 06:39:30,194
we're not in a position to be

11257
06:39:32,011 --> 06:39:32,261
sued and then for somebody to

11258
06:39:33,744 --> 06:39:33,994
say I would like to get more of

11259
06:39:34,377 --> 06:39:34,627
the water allocation that we do

11260
06:39:35,111 --> 06:39:35,361
not have.

11261
06:39:38,177 --> 06:39:38,427
and so at some point I really

11262
06:39:38,844 --> 06:39:39,094
feel that

11263
06:39:41,744 --> 06:39:41,994
in fairness and balance we

11264
06:39:43,477 --> 06:39:43,727
should be having a conversation

11265
06:39:45,477 --> 06:39:45,727
about what are the needs of the

11266
06:39:47,744 --> 06:39:47,994
3 million Nevadans in the state

11267
06:39:50,011 --> 06:39:50,261
in terms of water and the impact

11268
06:39:51,477 --> 06:39:51,727
of the data centers and what

11269
06:39:53,744 --> 06:39:53,994
they are having on this

11270
06:39:55,677 --> 06:39:55,927
particular issue of the water

11271
06:39:56,377 --> 06:39:56,627
allocation.

11272
06:39:58,211 --> 06:39:58,461
the second another point I'll

11273
06:39:59,744 --> 06:39:59,994
make is that when I was sitting

11274
06:40:00,477 --> 06:40:00,727
with the southernnevada water

11275
06:40:02,477 --> 06:40:02,727
authoruthority I said well let's

11276
06:40:03,144 --> 06:40:03,394
say

11277
06:40:07,511 --> 06:40:07,761
are the grandfather legacy

11278
06:40:08,211 --> 06:40:08,461
centers planning on reducing

11279
06:40:09,977 --> 06:40:10,227
their allocation of water which

11280
06:40:11,711 --> 06:40:11,961
is substantial if you go back

11281
06:40:12,311 --> 06:40:12,561
and look at the growth and

11282
06:40:13,977 --> 06:40:14,227
infrastructure record and what

11283
06:40:15,711 --> 06:40:15,961
was said to me was like well

11284
06:40:16,377 --> 06:40:16,627
yeah they are planning on

11285
06:40:21,477 --> 06:40:21,727
changing their water usage

11286
06:40:22,044 --> 06:40:22,294
but they're going to do it

11287
06:40:22,577 --> 06:40:22,827
over10 years.

11288
06:40:22,844 --> 06:40:23,094
well

11289
06:40:27,477 --> 06:40:27,727
10 years from now we could be in

11290
06:40:28,311 --> 06:40:28,561
a totally different water

11291
06:40:28,911 --> 06:40:29,161
situation

11292
06:40:32,244 --> 06:40:32,494
so why did first of all that

11293
06:40:34,211 --> 06:40:34,461
gave an alarm for me that

11294
06:40:36,011 --> 06:40:36,261
someone would get10 years to

11295
06:40:38,011 --> 06:40:38,261
continue to use that amount of

11296
06:40:41,944 --> 06:40:42,194
water with no change knowing

11297
06:40:44,211 --> 06:40:44,461
that we're not only in a drought

11298
06:40:47,477 --> 06:40:47,727
but we're actually experiencing

11299
06:40:49,777 --> 06:40:50,027
not enough water that is

11300
06:40:51,744 --> 06:40:51,994
actually sustainable to even

11301
06:40:53,777 --> 06:40:54,027
potentially on the third intake

11302
06:40:55,977 --> 06:40:56,227
to keep the dam moving so I'm

11303
06:40:57,777 --> 06:40:58,027
moving on this because I believe

11304
06:40:58,477 --> 06:40:58,727
it's in the best public policy

11305
06:41:02,211 --> 06:41:02,461
interests of3 million Nevadans

11306
06:41:03,977 --> 06:41:04,227
to have a conversation about

11307
06:41:06,011 --> 06:41:06,261
water to have a conversation

11308
06:41:08,244 --> 06:41:08,494
about electricity to have a

11309
06:41:09,711 --> 06:41:09,961
conversation about

11310
06:41:11,977 --> 06:41:12,227
future generations and what they

11311
06:41:14,011 --> 06:41:14,261
should actually have the benefit

11312
06:41:16,177 --> 06:41:16,427
and the use of which is water

11313
06:41:18,944 --> 06:41:19,194
coming through their pipes in

11314
06:41:19,511 --> 06:41:19,761
nevada.

11315
06:41:24,477 --> 06:41:24,727
Thank you madam Chair I

11316
06:41:26,277 --> 06:41:26,527
appreciate the the response and

11317
06:41:27,811 --> 06:41:28,061
just clarification for my

11318
06:41:28,377 --> 06:41:28,627
understanding and

11319
06:41:31,744 --> 06:41:31,994
I did misspeak and apologize for

11320
06:41:32,477 --> 06:41:32,727
that thanks for correcting the

11321
06:41:33,511 --> 06:41:33,761
record that it wasn't the city

11322
06:41:34,277 --> 06:41:34,527
of henderson. I was aware there

11323
06:41:37,511 --> 06:41:37,761
was a municipality but obviously

11324
06:41:38,277 --> 06:41:38,527
misspoken. I apologize for

11325
06:41:40,244 --> 06:41:40,494
that.gain thank you for the

11326
06:41:41,711 --> 06:41:41,961
response and no further

11327
06:41:42,244 --> 06:41:42,494
questions thank you

11328
06:41:45,911 --> 06:41:46,161
does anybody else have any

11329
06:41:46,477 --> 06:41:46,727
comments?

11330
06:41:51,511 --> 06:41:51,761
OK so I know this is this is a

11331
06:41:52,244 --> 06:41:52,494
contentious item. I mean

11332
06:41:54,244 --> 06:41:54,494
everybody you know we're all

11333
06:41:55,977 --> 06:41:56,227
freely elected members you vote

11334
06:41:56,644 --> 06:41:56,894
your conscience do what you got

11335
06:41:57,344 --> 06:41:57,594
to do.

11336
06:41:59,977 --> 06:42:00,227
right so I will entertain a

11337
06:42:01,744 --> 06:42:01,994
motion for the bill to be

11338
06:42:04,644 --> 06:42:04,894
drafted which is a one on data

11339
06:42:05,344 --> 06:42:05,594
centers.

11340
06:42:05,944 --> 06:42:06,194
do you have a

11341
06:42:12,594 --> 06:42:12,844
are you my so so but first from

11342
06:42:14,244 --> 06:42:14,494
senator Deatete of a second from

11343
06:42:16,277 --> 06:42:16,527
assembly men to silva is there

11344
06:42:17,844 --> 06:42:18,094
any discussion on the motion?

11345
06:42:21,711 --> 06:42:21,961
so I have a comment from senator

11346
06:42:23,777 --> 06:42:24,027
Deatete are there other comments

11347
06:42:24,444 --> 06:42:24,694
yes from assembly member Cole

11348
06:42:29,477 --> 06:42:29,727
so senator Deatio thank you

11349
06:42:31,711 --> 06:42:31,961
madam thank you madam chair just

11350
06:42:32,444 --> 06:42:32,694
wanted to make a few comments on

11351
06:42:33,711 --> 06:42:33,961
the record of course before this

11352
06:42:34,377 --> 06:42:34,627
vote

11353
06:42:37,511 --> 06:42:37,761
obviously I think throughout

11354
06:42:39,511 --> 06:42:39,761
this interim I think our

11355
06:42:40,177 --> 06:42:40,427
constituents have asked us

11356
06:42:41,977 --> 06:42:42,227
repeatedly to tackle this issue

11357
06:42:43,944 --> 06:42:44,194
and so I commend your leadership

11358
06:42:45,677 --> 06:42:45,927
in at least trying to solve and

11359
06:42:46,411 --> 06:42:46,661
address it

11360
06:42:49,744 --> 06:42:49,994
I think in the conversations

11361
06:42:51,711 --> 06:42:51,961
that we've had both offline

11362
06:42:54,211 --> 06:42:54,461
and and in this committee I

11363
06:42:56,011 --> 06:42:56,261
mean it's clear that there's

11364
06:42:56,577 --> 06:42:56,827
this infrastructure is growing

11365
06:42:57,744 --> 06:42:57,994
this is becoming a national

11366
06:43:00,011 --> 06:43:00,261
trend within our country the

11367
06:43:02,011 --> 06:43:02,261
need for compu the need for

11368
06:43:04,011 --> 06:43:04,261
compute and the race for

11369
06:43:06,011 --> 06:43:06,261
artificial intelligence is

11370
06:43:08,244 --> 06:43:08,494
becoming more prevalent. how I

11371
06:43:10,011 --> 06:43:10,261
you know at the same time I

11372
06:43:11,744 --> 06:43:11,994
for one am very worried about

11373
06:43:14,044 --> 06:43:14,294
the about foreign influence

11374
06:43:15,844 --> 06:43:16,094
and the conversion and expansion

11375
06:43:16,511 --> 06:43:16,761
of foreign owned assets

11376
06:43:18,244 --> 06:43:18,494
that utilize our natural

11377
06:43:20,244 --> 06:43:20,494
resources there have been cases

11378
06:43:23,477 --> 06:43:23,727
here in Nevada that have used

11379
06:43:25,744 --> 06:43:25,994
or have converted crypto

11380
06:43:26,477 --> 06:43:26,727
mining facilities now to become

11381
06:43:29,744 --> 06:43:29,994
data centers and so I think

11382
06:43:31,511 --> 06:43:31,761
that there are obviously cases

11383
06:43:33,511 --> 06:43:33,761
in companies including Switch

11384
06:43:34,111 --> 06:43:34,361
andensorwave that are leading

11385
06:43:37,477 --> 06:43:37,727
the way in how we can really

11386
06:43:38,477 --> 06:43:38,727
make this a really a better

11387
06:43:41,511 --> 06:43:41,761
efficient ecosystem and so my

11388
06:43:42,111 --> 06:43:42,361
only comment is that for anyone

11389
06:43:44,011 --> 06:43:44,261
that's watching all I would

11390
06:43:45,844 --> 06:43:46,094
ask is that within the next

11391
06:43:46,411 --> 06:43:46,661
couple of months

11392
06:43:47,811 --> 06:43:48,061
for the industry partners

11393
06:43:50,211 --> 06:43:50,461
to work alongside the

11394
06:43:51,977 --> 06:43:52,227
legislators both on this

11395
06:43:54,211 --> 06:43:54,461
committee and and beyond just

11396
06:43:55,744 --> 06:43:55,994
because I think there could

11397
06:43:57,511 --> 06:43:57,761
be a balance to protect

11398
06:43:59,744 --> 06:43:59,994
consumers and both from a

11399
06:44:01,744 --> 06:44:01,994
natural resources side both from

11400
06:44:03,777 --> 06:44:04,027
the worker protections and

11401
06:44:04,277 --> 06:44:04,527
making sure that right pairs

11402
06:44:05,944 --> 06:44:06,194
don't have to subsidize

11403
06:44:07,511 --> 06:44:07,761
especially given the

11404
06:44:09,744 --> 06:44:09,994
increasing funds that are in in

11405
06:44:12,011 --> 06:44:12,261
this moment so nonetheless I

11406
06:44:13,477 --> 06:44:13,727
will be supporting today's

11407
06:44:14,211 --> 06:44:14,461
measure and again thank you

11408
06:44:16,244 --> 06:44:16,494
for your leadership given the

11409
06:44:17,711 --> 06:44:17,961
national conversation that's

11410
06:44:18,377 --> 06:44:18,627
happening around this

11411
06:44:18,811 --> 06:44:19,061
conversation. you

11412
06:44:19,811 --> 06:44:20,061
for that assembly memberm call

11413
06:44:25,477 --> 06:44:25,727
thank you madam chairir. so I

11414
06:44:27,477 --> 06:44:27,727
am unfortunately not able to

11415
06:44:28,211 --> 06:44:28,461
support a moratorium on data

11416
06:44:30,011 --> 06:44:30,261
center development or repealing

11417
06:44:34,177 --> 06:44:34,427
NrS360.754 outright nevada's to

11418
06:44:35,977 --> 06:44:36,227
me is positioned right now to

11419
06:44:37,744 --> 06:44:37,994
win the lottery in one of the

11420
06:44:38,544 --> 06:44:38,794
largest drivers of economic

11421
06:44:39,111 --> 06:44:39,361
growth in the world

11422
06:44:41,711 --> 06:44:41,961
and instead support a well

11423
06:44:43,711 --> 06:44:43,961
crafted legislation piece of

11424
06:44:44,311 --> 06:44:44,561
legislation directing local

11425
06:44:45,977 --> 06:44:46,227
jurisdictions to negotiate

11426
06:44:47,511 --> 06:44:47,761
development agreements and

11427
06:44:48,244 --> 06:44:48,494
continuing the existing

11428
06:44:51,511 --> 06:44:51,761
subsidies as long as we hold

11429
06:44:52,277 --> 06:44:52,527
them to the highest standards on

11430
06:44:53,777 --> 06:44:54,027
water conservation and grid

11431
06:44:55,744 --> 06:44:55,994
buildout so these costs never

11432
06:44:57,977 --> 06:44:58,227
land on repairs the governor's

11433
06:44:59,744 --> 06:44:59,994
office has landed on that same

11434
06:45:01,744 --> 06:45:01,994
side having signed the ratepayer

11435
06:45:03,511 --> 06:45:03,761
protection pledge if a company

11436
06:45:04,244 --> 06:45:04,494
wants to build here it brings

11437
06:45:05,977 --> 06:45:06,227
its own power and water

11438
06:45:08,211 --> 06:45:08,461
solutions the pucCN's ruleleine

11439
06:45:08,877 --> 06:45:09,127
already requires large loads to

11440
06:45:09,577 --> 06:45:09,827
fund their own

11441
06:45:11,977 --> 06:45:12,227
infrastructure and this

11442
06:45:14,011 --> 06:45:14,261
technology keeps improving and

11443
06:45:15,477 --> 06:45:15,727
then at least in the southern

11444
06:45:16,444 --> 06:45:16,694
Nevada area we have the S andWA

11445
06:45:17,977 --> 06:45:18,227
moratorium on evaporative

11446
06:45:20,077 --> 06:45:20,327
cooling which solves in large

11447
06:45:20,744 --> 06:45:20,994
part the water issue

11448
06:45:23,511 --> 06:45:23,761
and it's not just the

11449
06:45:24,244 --> 06:45:24,494
governor's office it's also the

11450
06:45:26,211 --> 06:45:26,461
Nevada state AfL CIO that

11451
06:45:27,944 --> 06:45:28,194
unanimously just passed a

11452
06:45:29,744 --> 06:45:29,994
resolution last week on data

11453
06:45:31,511 --> 06:45:31,761
centers and I'll be honest as a

11454
06:45:32,211 --> 06:45:32,461
Republican it isn't every day

11455
06:45:33,977 --> 06:45:34,227
that I get to stand next to AFL

11456
06:45:36,277 --> 06:45:36,527
CIO on an issue but the

11457
06:45:37,977 --> 06:45:38,227
resolution asks for the same

11458
06:45:39,744 --> 06:45:39,994
things no cost shifting under

11459
06:45:41,744 --> 06:45:41,994
ratepayers community benefit

11460
06:45:42,444 --> 06:45:42,694
agreements, water efficient

11461
06:45:43,977 --> 06:45:44,227
technology suited to our desert

11462
06:45:46,011 --> 06:45:46,261
climate so when laborbour in the

11463
06:45:47,511 --> 06:45:47,761
governor's office agree on the

11464
06:45:49,511 --> 06:45:49,761
guardrails that tells me we're

11465
06:45:50,211 --> 06:45:50,461
closer to the right answer than

11466
06:45:50,877 --> 06:45:51,127
a moratorium allows.

11467
06:45:53,744 --> 06:45:53,994
Ne that already has strong

11468
06:45:55,944 --> 06:45:56,194
statutory guard guardrails wage

11469
06:45:57,744 --> 06:45:57,994
floors capital thresholds

11470
06:45:59,477 --> 06:45:59,727
resident hiring rules and

11471
06:46:01,711 --> 06:46:01,961
clawbacks. I'd rather modern

11472
06:46:02,411 --> 06:46:02,661
modernize that framework and

11473
06:46:03,977 --> 06:46:04,227
then shut the door on an

11474
06:46:05,711 --> 06:46:05,961
industry already supporting tens

11475
06:46:07,744 --> 06:46:07,994
of thousands of Nevada jobs and

11476
06:46:08,444 --> 06:46:08,694
creating real revenue streams

11477
06:46:10,177 --> 06:46:10,427
for our local jurisdictions. I

11478
06:46:11,977 --> 06:46:12,227
would instead ask the committee

11479
06:46:13,477 --> 06:46:13,727
to consider legislation along

11480
06:46:14,144 --> 06:46:14,394
these lines instead of a

11481
06:46:14,711 --> 06:46:14,961
moratorium

11482
06:46:18,477 --> 06:46:18,727
thank you for that are there any

11483
06:46:19,677 --> 06:46:19,927
additional comments from members

11484
06:46:26,511 --> 06:46:26,761
OK uming none all in favor to

11485
06:46:28,111 --> 06:46:28,361
say ii

11486
06:46:31,677 --> 06:46:31,927
all opposed say nay

11487
06:46:35,977 --> 06:46:36,227
so I have two nay which is

11488
06:46:37,777 --> 06:46:38,027
assembly member cole and

11489
06:46:39,977 --> 06:46:40,227
assembly member Patchett saying

11490
06:46:40,677 --> 06:46:40,927
it right

11491
06:46:45,477 --> 06:46:45,727
so the motion carries with

11492
06:46:46,211 --> 06:46:46,461
the majority of the members

11493
06:46:48,244 --> 06:46:48,494
thank you we will move to the

11494
06:46:51,744 --> 06:46:51,994
next item which is and turn

11495
06:46:54,011 --> 06:46:54,261
it over to a s a staff member

11496
06:46:56,344 --> 06:46:56,594
Owens on summary of item A2.

11497
06:47:01,477 --> 06:47:01,727
thank you chairir Haley Owens

11498
06:47:02,244 --> 06:47:02,494
for the record. The second item

11499
06:47:03,711 --> 06:47:03,961
in the work session document for

11500
06:47:05,511 --> 06:47:05,761
consideration before the

11501
06:47:07,477 --> 06:47:07,727
committee is item A2. the

11502
06:47:09,744 --> 06:47:09,994
recommendation is to request the

11503
06:47:11,711 --> 06:47:11,961
drafting of a bill to expand the

11504
06:47:15,511 --> 06:47:15,761
provisions ofnrs360.753 which

11505
06:47:16,144 --> 06:47:16,394
allows for the partial

11506
06:47:17,777 --> 06:47:18,027
abatements of certain taxes

11507
06:47:19,744 --> 06:47:19,994
imposed on aircraft components

11508
06:47:21,511 --> 06:47:21,761
of aircraft and other personal

11509
06:47:22,244 --> 06:47:22,494
property used for certain

11510
06:47:25,511 --> 06:47:25,761
purposes related to aircraft to

11511
06:47:26,144 --> 06:47:26,394
allow for the partial abatement

11512
06:47:27,811 --> 06:47:28,061
of certain taxes imposed on

11513
06:47:28,344 --> 06:47:28,594
certain eligible aerospace

11514
06:47:28,911 --> 06:47:29,161
businesses.

11515
06:47:31,944 --> 06:47:32,194
this recommendation is proposed

11516
06:47:33,644 --> 06:47:33,894
by senator Donotte, member of

11517
06:47:34,344 --> 06:47:34,594
this committee.

11518
06:47:41,611 --> 06:47:41,861
thank you are there any

11519
06:47:42,177 --> 06:47:42,427
questions on a

11520
06:47:47,844 --> 06:47:48,094
Yeah you could senatorinate

11521
06:47:50,244 --> 06:47:50,494
thank you madam chair just

11522
06:47:51,511 --> 06:47:51,761
wanted to provide some context

11523
06:47:53,744 --> 06:47:53,994
for this bill draft Nevada

11524
06:47:55,511 --> 06:47:55,761
currently has in our existing

11525
06:47:56,111 --> 06:47:56,361
statutes for some of the

11526
06:47:57,477 --> 06:47:57,727
committee members we already

11527
06:47:58,244 --> 06:47:58,494
have an aviation abatement

11528
06:48:00,244 --> 06:48:00,494
program through the

11529
06:48:02,011 --> 06:48:02,261
presentations that we've had

11530
06:48:03,511 --> 06:48:03,761
over the interim it seems that

11531
06:48:04,244 --> 06:48:04,494
this has been an underutilized

11532
06:48:06,244 --> 06:48:06,494
asset and so what I'm seeking

11533
06:48:07,777 --> 06:48:08,027
through this bill draft

11534
06:48:09,777 --> 06:48:10,027
thanks to our chairs perhaps

11535
06:48:11,777 --> 06:48:12,027
revising the definition of who

11536
06:48:14,011 --> 06:48:14,261
qualifies most of the NrS

11537
06:48:15,511 --> 06:48:15,761
definitions right now are

11538
06:48:16,011 --> 06:48:16,261
specifically to components

11539
06:48:17,844 --> 06:48:18,094
dealing with aircrafts and so

11540
06:48:18,444 --> 06:48:18,694
all I'm seeking to do

11541
06:48:20,444 --> 06:48:20,694
is to include aerospace or

11542
06:48:23,511 --> 06:48:23,761
aeronautic components so that

11543
06:48:24,277 --> 06:48:24,527
other companies that are already

11544
06:48:25,977 --> 06:48:26,227
preexisting here can take use of

11545
06:48:28,211 --> 06:48:28,461
it or if the committee

11546
06:48:30,177 --> 06:48:30,427
decides later on to sunset it

11547
06:48:31,744 --> 06:48:31,994
then that can also be an option

11548
06:48:32,377 --> 06:48:32,627
but this would be the vehicle

11549
06:48:33,877 --> 06:48:34,127
for us to start looking at it

11550
06:48:34,577 --> 06:48:34,827
for the legislative session.

11551
06:48:38,011 --> 06:48:38,261
OK. thank you for that. So after

11552
06:48:39,511 --> 06:48:39,761
that explanation are there any

11553
06:48:40,144 --> 06:48:40,394
questions or everybody's good as

11554
06:48:43,711 --> 06:48:43,961
assembly member Anderson chair

11555
06:48:45,744 --> 06:48:45,994
thank you so much for that that

11556
06:48:47,744 --> 06:48:47,994
comment as well because I as

11557
06:48:49,744 --> 06:48:49,994
some people know I have issues

11558
06:48:51,511 --> 06:48:51,761
with abatements however the

11559
06:48:52,044 --> 06:48:52,294
information that you just

11560
06:48:53,677 --> 06:48:53,927
provided that there is also the

11561
06:48:54,377 --> 06:48:54,627
possibility of

11562
06:48:56,177 --> 06:48:56,427
pulling it back helped me out a

11563
06:48:57,977 --> 06:48:58,227
lot with this, especially since

11564
06:48:59,977 --> 06:49:00,227
this is only the drafting of the

11565
06:49:01,711 --> 06:49:01,961
bill so I will support it this

11566
06:49:03,744 --> 06:49:03,994
time but I just I really

11567
06:49:04,244 --> 06:49:04,494
appreciate both our conversation

11568
06:49:06,011 --> 06:49:06,261

11569
06:49:06,644 --> 06:49:06,894
clarification on the record

11570
06:49:07,177 --> 06:49:07,427

which is Miss Owens can you

11589
06:49:48,111 --> 06:49:48,361
give a staff summary of item A3.

11590
06:49:51,811 --> 06:49:52,061
Thank you Chair Haley Owens for

11591
06:49:52,477 --> 06:49:52,727
the record

11592
06:49:54,244 --> 06:49:54,494
the third item in the work

11593
06:49:55,977 --> 06:49:56,227
session document is a

11594
06:49:57,977 --> 06:49:58,227
recommendation to request the

11595
06:50:00,044 --> 06:50:00,294
drafting of a bill to revise the

11596
06:50:01,744 --> 06:50:01,994
total amount of transferable tax

11597
06:50:04,011 --> 06:50:04,261
credits for affordable housing

11598
06:50:04,644 --> 06:50:04,894
authorized pursuant to

11599
06:50:07,511 --> 06:50:07,761
subsection one paragraph B of

11600
06:50:11,977 --> 06:50:12,227
Nrs360.868 from40 million

11601
06:50:14,011 --> 06:50:14,261
dollars to80 million dollars.

11602
06:50:15,744 --> 06:50:15,994
The recommendation is based on

11603
06:50:16,344 --> 06:50:16,594
the overview of thefoable

11604
06:50:18,011 --> 06:50:18,261
housing tax credit programme

11605
06:50:19,511 --> 06:50:19,761
given by the nevada housing

11606
06:50:20,144 --> 06:50:20,394
division at the committee

11607
06:50:21,644 --> 06:50:21,894
meeting on July8,2026.

11608
06:50:29,744 --> 06:50:29,994
thank you for that so are

11609
06:50:30,244 --> 06:50:30,494
there any questions on

11610
06:50:32,611 --> 06:50:32,861
the housing tax credits

11611
06:50:37,744 --> 06:50:37,994
so I just want to add on the

11612
06:50:39,477 --> 06:50:39,727
record cause I believe Mr

11613
06:50:40,177 --> 06:50:40,427
Nakamoto it had expired this

11614
06:50:41,811 --> 06:50:42,061
past session or was going to

11615
06:50:42,444 --> 06:50:42,694
expire.

11616
06:50:46,211 --> 06:50:46,461
madam Chair Michael Nakamera

11617
06:50:48,011 --> 06:50:48,261
with fiscal analysis division

11618
06:50:50,011 --> 06:50:50,261
for the record based on the

11619
06:50:51,477 --> 06:50:51,727
information that we have

11620
06:50:52,011 --> 06:50:52,261
received from the housing

11621
06:50:54,011 --> 06:50:54,261
division and what they presented

11622
06:50:56,544 --> 06:50:56,794
at that meeting back in July

11623
06:50:58,277 --> 06:50:58,527
they anticipate that they will

11624
06:51:01,511 --> 06:51:01,761
be awarding the remainder of the

11625
06:51:03,477 --> 06:51:03,727
credits from that original40

11626
06:51:04,344 --> 06:51:04,594
million dollars time

11627
06:51:07,977 --> 06:51:08,227
in the next either this

11628
06:51:10,544 --> 06:51:10,794
fiscal year or in in the next

11629
06:51:11,244 --> 06:51:11,494
year or two

11630
06:51:15,511 --> 06:51:15,761
thank you for that and so I mean

11631
06:51:16,211 --> 06:51:16,461
every this is I mean we're doing

11632
06:51:17,977 --> 06:51:18,227
the housing tax credit and

11633
06:51:19,977 --> 06:51:20,227
increasing it because housing is

11634
06:51:22,211 --> 06:51:22,461
one of the top major issues the

11635
06:51:25,477 --> 06:51:25,727
housing tax credit not only

11636
06:51:26,144 --> 06:51:26,394
is doing the multifamily housing

11637
06:51:29,511 --> 06:51:29,761
as you know this past

11638
06:51:30,211 --> 06:51:30,461
legislative session the

11639
06:51:31,944 --> 06:51:32,194
legislature and the governor

11640
06:51:35,477 --> 06:51:35,727
moved to do also single family

11641
06:51:37,944 --> 06:51:38,194
residencies and so it's very

11642
06:51:39,511 --> 06:51:39,761
important to continue doing this

11643
06:51:41,744 --> 06:51:41,994
program what we talked about

11644
06:51:43,511 --> 06:51:43,761
which will be the goal of any

11645
06:51:45,711 --> 06:51:45,961
future legislature is that after

11646
06:51:48,177 --> 06:51:48,427
the tax credits fall off in

11647
06:51:50,011 --> 06:51:50,261
other programs then we'll be

11648
06:51:52,011 --> 06:51:52,261
able to hopefully add into the

11649
06:51:55,777 --> 06:51:56,027
housing tax credit program to

11650
06:51:56,411 --> 06:51:56,661
continue to build housing

11651
06:52:00,211 --> 06:52:00,461
across Nevada which is a very

11652
06:52:02,244 --> 06:52:02,494
important and lofty goal that we

11653
06:52:03,977 --> 06:52:04,227
would like to continue and so

11654
06:52:04,644 --> 06:52:04,894
with that

11655
06:52:07,711 --> 06:52:07,961
I will entertain a motion

11656
06:52:11,977 --> 06:52:12,227
to have a three drafted

11657
06:52:14,311 --> 06:52:14,561
so have a first from assemblyman

11658
06:52:15,977 --> 06:52:16,227
de Silva I have a second from

11659
06:52:18,344 --> 06:52:18,594
Senator Deatete are there any

11660
06:52:19,044 --> 06:52:19,294
discussion on the motion?

11661
06:52:21,777 --> 06:52:22,027
seeing no discussion on the

11662
06:52:23,677 --> 06:52:23,927

11666
06:52:32,211 --> 06:52:32,461
carries thank you we will now

11667
06:52:34,211 --> 06:52:34,461
move to the next item which is

11668
06:52:37,977 --> 06:52:38,227
staff summary item A3 so Miss

11669
06:52:38,611 --> 06:52:38,861

correct thank you chair

11674
06:52:51,477 --> 06:52:51,727
the fourth item in the work

11675
06:52:52,077 --> 06:52:52,327
session document and the final

11676
06:52:53,744 --> 06:52:53,994
item under the economic

11677
06:52:55,477 --> 06:52:55,727
development and tax incentives

11678
06:52:57,511 --> 06:52:57,761
heading is item A4 the

11679
06:52:59,511 --> 06:52:59,761
recommendation is to request the

11680
06:53:00,244 --> 06:53:00,494
drafting of a bill to encourage

11681
06:53:01,977 --> 06:53:02,227
and promote economic development

11682
06:53:03,977 --> 06:53:04,227
in counties whose population is

11683
06:53:07,477 --> 06:53:07,727
less than700,000 beyond what is

11684
06:53:08,177 --> 06:53:08,427
already available under current

11685
06:53:08,877 --> 06:53:09,127
law.

11686
06:53:11,477 --> 06:53:11,727
the proposed bill may include

11687
06:53:12,244 --> 06:53:12,494
specific items relating to the

11688
06:53:13,511 --> 06:53:13,761
expansion of housing

11689
06:53:15,511 --> 06:53:15,761
availability and affordability,

11690
06:53:17,511 --> 06:53:17,761
particularly in rural areas of

11691
06:53:19,511 --> 06:53:19,761
the state as well as other

11692
06:53:20,277 --> 06:53:20,527
topics relating to economic

11693
06:53:21,744 --> 06:53:21,994
development in these counties at

11694
06:53:22,477 --> 06:53:22,727
the discretion of the chair.

11695
06:53:25,744 --> 06:53:25,994
this recommendation is based on

11696
06:53:27,511 --> 06:53:27,761
information presented during the

11697
06:53:28,377 --> 06:53:28,627
May13,2026 committee meeting.

11698
06:53:35,477 --> 06:53:35,727
thank you for that so just to

11699
06:53:36,077 --> 06:53:36,327
give a little bit of further

11700
06:53:39,711 --> 06:53:39,961
background we on May132026 we

11701
06:53:41,977 --> 06:53:42,227
had several rural counties

11702
06:53:43,877 --> 06:53:44,127
come and present to this body

11703
06:53:47,477 --> 06:53:47,727
around their economic

11704
06:53:50,444 --> 06:53:50,694
development needs it is I am

11705
06:53:55,744 --> 06:53:55,994
focused on trying to figure

11706
06:53:57,744 --> 06:53:57,994
out how to create number one

11707
06:53:59,744 --> 06:53:59,994
remove the barriers to create

11708
06:54:02,211 --> 06:54:02,461
moderate economies in rural

11709
06:54:04,211 --> 06:54:04,461
counties that can sustain

11710
06:54:05,711 --> 06:54:05,961
that so that we can have

11711
06:54:09,711 --> 06:54:09,961
a statewide economic development

11712
06:54:13,477 --> 06:54:13,727
that will serve the needs of

11713
06:54:15,777 --> 06:54:16,027
as we heard earlier lifting all

11714
06:54:19,744 --> 06:54:19,994
boats because we have

11715
06:54:21,944 --> 06:54:22,194
typically focused on our larger

11716
06:54:24,211 --> 06:54:24,461
counties and I feel that we

11717
06:54:27,744 --> 06:54:27,994
needed to do a some pivoting to

11718
06:54:29,511 --> 06:54:29,761
focus on some of our smaller

11719
06:54:32,177 --> 06:54:32,427
rural counties that are want

11720
06:54:33,777 --> 06:54:34,027
to do some more economic

11721
06:54:35,511 --> 06:54:35,761
development and try to think

11722
06:54:36,144 --> 06:54:36,394
through what is the

11723
06:54:38,377 --> 06:54:38,627
proper framework in order to

11724
06:54:38,977 --> 06:54:39,227
establish

11725
06:54:42,144 --> 06:54:42,394
giving them more of a leg up

11726
06:54:45,477 --> 06:54:45,727
and a different focus than just

11727
06:54:46,211 --> 06:54:46,461
focusing on one of our larger

11728
06:54:47,644 --> 06:54:47,894
counties such as Clark and

11729
06:54:48,211 --> 06:54:48,461
washoe.

11730
06:54:50,277 --> 06:54:50,527

thank you chairirhaleyowwens for

06:56:06,177 --> 06:56:06,427
the record. The fifth item in

11762
06:56:07,711 --> 06:56:07,961
the work session document is

11763
06:56:09,511 --> 06:56:09,761
item B5 under the excise tax

11764
06:56:11,711 --> 06:56:11,961
policy heading the the

11765
06:56:13,744 --> 06:56:13,994
recommendation is to request the

11766
06:56:15,477 --> 06:56:15,727
drafting of a bill to expand the

11767
06:56:17,477 --> 06:56:17,727
tax on live entertainment and

11768
06:56:19,711 --> 06:56:19,961
posts pursuant to chapter368a of

11769
06:56:21,744 --> 06:56:21,994
the Nevadarevised statutes to

11770
06:56:23,777 --> 06:56:24,027
include the resale other than an

11771
06:56:25,744 --> 06:56:25,994
occasional sale of admission to

11772
06:56:26,477 --> 06:56:26,727
a live entertainment event by a

11773
06:56:27,144 --> 06:56:27,394
reseller.

11774
06:56:29,944 --> 06:56:30,194
this recommendation is proposed

11775
06:56:31,711 --> 06:56:31,961
by senator Neal, chair of this

11776
06:56:33,477 --> 06:56:33,727
committee, based on discussion

11777
06:56:34,177 --> 06:56:34,427
of the live entertainment tax at

11778
06:56:35,511 --> 06:56:35,761
the committee meeting on

11779
06:56:36,111 --> 06:56:36,361
February11,2026.

11780
06:56:39,511 --> 06:56:39,761
the proposed recommendation is

11781
06:56:40,111 --> 06:56:40,361
similar to the provisions of

11782
06:56:43,511 --> 06:56:43,761
senate bill444 of the2023

11783
06:56:44,244 --> 06:56:44,494
legislative session and Senate

11784
06:56:46,344 --> 06:56:46,594
Bill431 of the2025 legislative

11785
06:56:47,011 --> 06:56:47,261
session.

11786
06:56:51,744 --> 06:56:51,994
thank you for that and so for

11787
06:56:53,477 --> 06:56:53,727
members that are not familiar

11788
06:56:56,211 --> 06:56:56,461
with this I've I've well

11789
06:56:57,944 --> 06:56:58,194
there's been several iterations

11790
06:57:01,511 --> 06:57:01,761
so this is not taxing the sports

11791
06:57:03,511 --> 06:57:03,761
team so you can throw that out

11792
06:57:05,944 --> 06:57:06,194
this is actually the resale

11793
06:57:07,977 --> 06:57:08,227
market of tickets which we know

11794
06:57:09,944 --> 06:57:10,194
is actively happening if you

11795
06:57:13,711 --> 06:57:13,961
guys are familiar uhicketmaster

11796
06:57:14,377 --> 06:57:14,627
was

11797
06:57:17,711 --> 06:57:17,961
sued because they were also

11798
06:57:19,977 --> 06:57:20,227
playing the the regular

11799
06:57:21,711 --> 06:57:21,961
market and the secondary market

11800
06:57:25,477 --> 06:57:25,727
and selling tickets the way

11801
06:57:27,477 --> 06:57:27,727
that this provision would work

11802
06:57:29,477 --> 06:57:29,727
is that it's a tax on the delta

11803
06:57:31,877 --> 06:57:32,127
so just to give an example so if

11804
06:57:32,577 --> 06:57:32,827
the ticket is100

11805
06:57:35,944 --> 06:57:36,194
and then it is resold for400,

11806
06:57:38,177 --> 06:57:38,427
the taxes on the delta which is

11807
06:57:40,244 --> 06:57:40,494
the300 dollars difference

11808
06:57:41,977 --> 06:57:42,227
between the100 dollars that the

11809
06:57:44,244 --> 06:57:44,494
original ticket was sold and the

11810
06:57:47,477 --> 06:57:47,727
secondary market which then

11811
06:57:49,477 --> 06:57:49,727
sells it in the provision in the

11812
06:57:51,477 --> 06:57:51,727
bill that we had before because

11813
06:57:52,244 --> 06:57:52,494
this may come up we did deal

11814
06:57:55,777 --> 06:57:56,027
with the gaming provisions

11815
06:57:57,511 --> 06:57:57,761
because for a long time gaming

11816
06:58:00,211 --> 06:58:00,461
has had a ticket sales and you

11817
06:58:01,811 --> 06:58:02,061
know the people who come on the

11818
06:58:02,477 --> 06:58:02,727
street and like would you like

11819
06:58:05,477 --> 06:58:05,727
do a ticket to just circle Sole

11820
06:58:07,477 --> 06:58:07,727
or whatever so we dealt with

11821
06:58:09,744 --> 06:58:09,994
that in the provisions of the

11822
06:58:11,711 --> 06:58:11,961
bill so that we would not be

11823
06:58:14,244 --> 06:58:14,494
impacting that market. I also in

11824
06:58:17,711 --> 06:58:17,961
the 2025 bill I had would had

11825
06:58:19,477 --> 06:58:19,727
put in their portion because at

11826
06:58:20,211 --> 06:58:20,461
the time we were trying to

11827
06:58:22,211 --> 06:58:22,461
figure out how to pay for a

11828
06:58:24,277 --> 06:58:24,527
public transit or at least allow

11829
06:58:26,011 --> 06:58:26,261
a portion of the money to go to

11830
06:58:28,044 --> 06:58:28,294
public transit also a portion of

11831
06:58:28,777 --> 06:58:29,027
LET goes for the arts

11832
06:58:32,211 --> 06:58:32,461
they currently have had an

11833
06:58:35,477 --> 06:58:35,727
allocation that goes to the arts

11834
06:58:36,477 --> 06:58:36,727
community for a really long time

11835
06:58:38,177 --> 06:58:38,427
so just want to give that

11836
06:58:38,744 --> 06:58:38,994
background

11837
06:58:42,177 --> 06:58:42,427
if there were any questions on

11838
06:58:45,944 --> 06:58:46,194
you know what this could be or

11839
06:58:47,811 --> 06:58:48,061
what this may be in a bill draft

11840
06:58:48,477 --> 06:58:48,727
form.

11841
06:58:49,611 --> 06:58:49,861
are there any questions

11842
06:58:56,044 --> 06:58:56,294
OK so I would

11843
06:58:59,711 --> 06:58:59,961
entertain a motion for the bill

11844
06:59:02,211 --> 06:59:02,461
to be drafted for B5 on

11845
06:59:05,477 --> 06:59:05,727
so have a first from assembly

11846
06:59:07,744 --> 06:59:07,994
men to silva second from Senator

11847
06:59:09,677 --> 06:59:09,927
Deatete is there any discussion

11848
06:59:10,377 --> 06:59:10,627
on the motion?

11849
06:59:13,511 --> 06:59:13,761

11854
06:59:24,311 --> 06:59:24,561

07:00:04,344 --> 07:00:04,594
subscriptions in similar

11876
07:00:04,911 --> 07:00:05,161
services.

11877
07:00:07,744 --> 07:00:07,994
this recommendation is proposed

11878
07:00:09,511 --> 07:00:09,761
by Senator Neal, chair of this

11879
07:00:10,277 --> 07:00:10,527
committee based on the

11880
07:00:12,011 --> 07:00:12,261
discussion of the taxation of

11881
07:00:13,711 --> 07:00:13,961
digital goods at the committee

11882
07:00:16,011 --> 07:00:16,261
meeting on April1,2026. The

11883
07:00:17,511 --> 07:00:17,761
proposed recommendation is

11884
07:00:18,311 --> 07:00:18,561
similar to the provisions of

11885
07:00:20,511 --> 07:00:20,761
senate bill392 of the2025

11886
07:00:21,044 --> 07:00:21,294
legislative session.

11887
07:00:26,244 --> 07:00:26,494
thank you for that Miss Owens so

11888
07:00:28,477 --> 07:00:28,727
just backdrop I've been had this

11889
07:00:31,477 --> 07:00:31,727
bill since 2019. actually my

11890
07:00:33,777 --> 07:00:34,027
first time doing it was at the

11891
07:00:34,377 --> 07:00:34,627
same time I was doing

11892
07:00:36,011 --> 07:00:36,261
marketplace facilitator trying

11893
07:00:39,477 --> 07:00:39,727
to bring in amazon which

11894
07:00:40,011 --> 07:00:40,261
folks weren't ready for the

11895
07:00:41,511 --> 07:00:41,761
digital goods conversation in

11896
07:00:43,511 --> 07:00:43,761
2019 but thank god they were

11897
07:00:44,144 --> 07:00:44,394
ready for marketplace

11898
07:00:46,011 --> 07:00:46,261
facilitator because it passed

11899
07:00:48,144 --> 07:00:48,394
and it saved us when covid

11900
07:00:48,711 --> 07:00:48,961
hit

11901
07:00:53,711 --> 07:00:53,961
so this particular piece is a

11902
07:00:56,177 --> 07:00:56,427
modernization of sales tax we've

11903
07:00:57,977 --> 07:00:58,227

07:01:00,444 --> 07:01:00,694
with streamline which issuda

11905
07:01:03,977 --> 07:01:04,227
and how we're trying to move

11906
07:01:06,211 --> 07:01:06,461
our sales tax base into the

11907
07:01:07,677 --> 07:01:07,927
current century

11908
07:01:12,011 --> 07:01:12,261
products have changed you are no

11909
07:01:13,744 --> 07:01:13,994
longer as we've done

11910
07:01:15,477 --> 07:01:15,727
presentations assembly member

11911
07:01:18,011 --> 07:01:18,261

11913
07:01:23,744 --> 07:01:23,994
right buying DVDs but if

11914
07:01:26,244 --> 07:01:26,494
you are thank you but if

11915
07:01:27,977 --> 07:01:28,227
you're not and you're streaming

11916
07:01:29,711 --> 07:01:29,961
and you're downloading then that

11917
07:01:31,511 --> 07:01:31,761
is now the new form so most

11918
07:01:33,511 --> 07:01:33,761
things are happening either in a

11919
07:01:34,177 --> 07:01:34,427
digital format. there's a

11920
07:01:36,011 --> 07:01:36,261
digital good that is being

11921
07:01:38,377 --> 07:01:38,627
produced in multiple ways and at

11922
07:01:39,077 --> 07:01:39,327
the same time as

11923
07:01:41,711 --> 07:01:41,961
that digital market came in we

11924
07:01:44,277 --> 07:01:44,527
also lost the durable good that

11925
07:01:46,177 --> 07:01:46,427
used to be the companion so when

11926
07:01:48,211 --> 07:01:48,461
you bought the VHS tape there

11927
07:01:49,811 --> 07:01:50,061
used to be the VCR that went

11928
07:01:51,777 --> 07:01:52,027
along with it so that was that

11929
07:01:53,511 --> 07:01:53,761
is an example of the durable

11930
07:01:55,711 --> 07:01:55,961
good it'd be the same thing for

11931
07:01:58,311 --> 07:01:58,561
the people who may not be as old

11932
07:02:02,244 --> 07:02:02,494
as me and Mr Nakamoto but you

11933
07:02:03,977 --> 07:02:04,227
you you went out and bought your

11934
07:02:06,277 --> 07:02:06,527
walklkman which was a durable

11935
07:02:07,911 --> 07:02:08,161
good and then you put the

11936
07:02:08,477 --> 07:02:08,727
cassette in there

11937
07:02:11,477 --> 07:02:11,727
and now you are no longer

11938
07:02:13,477 --> 07:02:13,727
purchasing those items and so

11939
07:02:14,477 --> 07:02:14,727
ultimately you now are

11940
07:02:16,011 --> 07:02:16,261
downloading whatever your music

11941
07:02:18,277 --> 07:02:18,527
is on Pandora Spotify or

11942
07:02:20,011 --> 07:02:20,261
whatever your form is in order

11943
07:02:22,011 --> 07:02:22,261
that you get your wonderful

11944
07:02:23,811 --> 07:02:24,061
music or you're on YouTube

11945
07:02:24,377 --> 07:02:24,627
musiciv them money.

11946
07:02:24,811 --> 07:02:25,061
so

11947
07:02:28,011 --> 07:02:28,261
at the end of the day we are

11948
07:02:30,011 --> 07:02:30,261
trying to modernize our sales

11949
07:02:32,511 --> 07:02:32,761
tax statute behaviors change

11950
07:02:34,311 --> 07:02:34,561
consumer behavior has changed

11951
07:02:37,644 --> 07:02:37,894
this bill will include

11952
07:02:42,011 --> 07:02:42,261
subscriptions I there's this

11953
07:02:43,944 --> 07:02:44,194
new thing going on called book

11954
07:02:47,477 --> 07:02:47,727
talks if you for some reason

11955
07:02:48,244 --> 07:02:48,494
nobody's on these things but

11956
07:02:49,944 --> 07:02:50,194
there's a million apps where you

11957
07:02:52,211 --> 07:02:52,461
can download stories and pay

11958
07:02:54,211 --> 07:02:54,461
literally by chapter and I would

11959
07:02:57,711 --> 07:02:57,961
say your chapter may be pages or

11960
07:02:59,477 --> 07:02:59,727
it might be6 minutes but they're

11961
07:03:03,511 --> 07:03:03,761
gonna get $9.99 or10 dollars 99

11962
07:03:05,777 --> 07:03:06,027
cents per chapter or six minutes

11963
07:03:07,644 --> 07:03:07,894
of your life and then hook you

11964
07:03:08,377 --> 07:03:08,627
to either a

11965
07:03:10,444 --> 07:03:10,694
$99 subscription so you can

11966
07:03:13,511 --> 07:03:13,761
finish a book rather than you

11967
07:03:14,077 --> 07:03:14,327
just being able to go to barnes

11968
07:03:17,477 --> 07:03:17,727
and noble, pay 2499 and walk out

11969
07:03:18,211 --> 07:03:18,461
with all the chapters you would

11970
07:03:21,744 --> 07:03:21,994
like to read for the 2499

11971
07:03:23,877 --> 07:03:24,127
bargain price so the market has

11972
07:03:24,577 --> 07:03:24,827
changed

11973
07:03:26,177 --> 07:03:26,427
so with that

11974
07:03:29,877 --> 07:03:30,127
I'll take a much or is there any

11975
07:03:30,577 --> 07:03:30,827
discussion on digital goods?

11976
07:03:35,477 --> 07:03:35,727
OK so with that I'll entertain

11977
07:03:37,677 --> 07:03:37,927
emotion for B6 to be drafted

11978
07:03:40,211 --> 07:03:40,461
but first from assemblyman to

11979
07:03:42,211 --> 07:03:42,461
silva second from senator

11980
07:03:43,944 --> 07:03:44,194
Deatete any discussion on the

11981
07:03:44,611 --> 07:03:44,861
motion?

11982
07:03:47,511 --> 07:03:47,761

07:03:49,977 --> 07:03:50,227

thank you chairir Haley Owens

11994
07:04:17,944 --> 07:04:18,194
for the record. The7th item in

11995
07:04:19,511 --> 07:04:19,761
the work session document

11996
07:04:20,077 --> 07:04:20,327
still under the excise tax

11997
07:04:21,677 --> 07:04:21,927
policy heading is item B7

11998
07:04:25,711 --> 07:04:25,961
the recommendation is to request

11999
07:04:27,477 --> 07:04:27,727
the drafting of a bill to revise

12000
07:04:28,244 --> 07:04:28,494
the tax on other tobacco

12001
07:04:30,211 --> 07:04:30,461
products located in chapter370

12002
07:04:32,011 --> 07:04:32,261
of the Nevadarevised statutes.

12003
07:04:34,044 --> 07:04:34,294
The proposed changes may include

12004
07:04:34,711 --> 07:04:34,961
one or more of the following

12005
07:04:38,044 --> 07:04:38,294
a revising the structure of the

12006
07:04:40,011 --> 07:04:40,261
tax to impose it at the retail

12007
07:04:41,844 --> 07:04:42,094
level rather than the wholesale

12008
07:04:42,511 --> 07:04:42,761
level

12009
07:04:45,711 --> 07:04:45,961
b clarifying the definition of

12010
07:04:48,177 --> 07:04:48,427
other tobacco product to include

12011
07:04:49,977 --> 07:04:50,227
certain tobacco products not

12012
07:04:51,777 --> 07:04:52,027
currently included in the tax

12013
07:04:52,744 --> 07:04:52,994
base see increasing the tax rate

12014
07:04:57,477 --> 07:04:57,727
and any other relevant changes

12015
07:04:58,377 --> 07:04:58,627
to this tax as determined by the

12016
07:04:59,044 --> 07:04:59,294
chair of the committee.

12017
07:05:01,744 --> 07:05:01,994
this recommendation is proposed

12018
07:05:03,777 --> 07:05:04,027
by senator neal, chair of this

12019
07:05:05,511 --> 07:05:05,761
committee based on discussion of

12020
07:05:06,244 --> 07:05:06,494
tobacco taxes at the committee

12021
07:05:07,711 --> 07:05:07,961
meeting on July8,2026.

12022
07:05:12,444 --> 07:05:12,694
thank you for that Miss Owens.

12023
07:05:14,411 --> 07:05:14,661
so just a little backdrop for

12024
07:05:15,111 --> 07:05:15,361
the members that were not here

12025
07:05:18,277 --> 07:05:18,527
you had saw some of the

12026
07:05:20,011 --> 07:05:20,261
public comment this morning we

12027
07:05:21,477 --> 07:05:21,727
had a presentation from the

12028
07:05:24,011 --> 07:05:24,261
tobacco coalition which wanted

12029
07:05:25,544 --> 07:05:25,794
to and they're still asking for

12030
07:05:28,044 --> 07:05:28,294
that to double the tobacco rate

12031
07:05:29,811 --> 07:05:30,061
tobacco tax

12032
07:05:33,477 --> 07:05:33,727
we also had a presentation for

12033
07:05:35,944 --> 07:05:36,194
Sakamoto after that presentation

12034
07:05:38,211 --> 07:05:38,461
from the tobacco coalition that

12035
07:05:40,211 --> 07:05:40,461
the increasing of that rate

12036
07:05:43,544 --> 07:05:43,794
would ultimately then cause a

12037
07:05:44,277 --> 07:05:44,527
decrease we're currently in a

12038
07:05:46,277 --> 07:05:46,527
decrease because the prevention

12039
07:05:48,244 --> 07:05:48,494
efforts are working right so if

12040
07:05:50,477 --> 07:05:50,727
we increase it we would run into

12041
07:05:52,011 --> 07:05:52,261
the same problem. so the

12042
07:05:53,744 --> 07:05:53,994
question that I you know I

12043
07:05:55,511 --> 07:05:55,761
internally posed was you know

12044
07:05:56,244 --> 07:05:56,494
unless we're getting ready to

12045
07:05:58,277 --> 07:05:58,527
solve the problem in the next

12046
07:05:59,844 --> 07:06:00,094
three years the increase would

12047
07:06:00,544 --> 07:06:00,794
not actually

12048
07:06:03,744 --> 07:06:03,994
solve the issue so having the3

12049
07:06:06,144 --> 07:06:06,394
dollars pack of cigarettes

12050
07:06:09,977 --> 07:06:10,227
wouldn't actually although it'll

12051
07:06:11,977 --> 07:06:12,227
give you money in the short term

12052
07:06:13,944 --> 07:06:14,194
we started to look at OTP and

12053
07:06:15,711 --> 07:06:15,961
try to examine whether or not

12054
07:06:19,711 --> 07:06:19,961
OTP is a better option this bill

12055
07:06:22,044 --> 07:06:22,294
is one of the ones that you know

12056
07:06:23,744 --> 07:06:23,994
we just have to think through

12057
07:06:25,744 --> 07:06:25,994
what makes sense and how we're

12058
07:06:26,444 --> 07:06:26,694
going to figure out the revenue.

12059
07:06:27,977 --> 07:06:28,227
one of the other things that I

12060
07:06:29,877 --> 07:06:30,127
tasked which is the other

12061
07:06:34,244 --> 07:06:34,494
staff with on this one is

12062
07:06:36,277 --> 07:06:36,527
because tobacco is also a

12063
07:06:39,744 --> 07:06:39,994
part of thecta distribution is

12064
07:06:41,711 --> 07:06:41,961
to determine if there would be

12065
07:06:44,011 --> 07:06:44,261
any effect if OTP was I

12066
07:06:45,744 --> 07:06:45,994
believe added to the first tier

12067
07:06:48,044 --> 07:06:48,294
or second tier of the tobacco

12068
07:06:50,344 --> 07:06:50,594
is a lot of things we have to

12069
07:06:51,777 --> 07:06:52,027
consider but we don't have time

12070
07:06:53,511 --> 07:06:53,761
to consider it during the

12071
07:06:54,177 --> 07:06:54,427
interim and so

12072
07:06:57,777 --> 07:06:58,027
you know we're just gonna try to

12073
07:06:58,511 --> 07:06:58,761
work through it and figure out

12074
07:06:59,977 --> 07:07:00,227
what the tobacco coalition what

12075
07:07:01,977 --> 07:07:02,227
would be the best thing that we

12076
07:07:04,277 --> 07:07:04,527
can do but doubling the tax is

12077
07:07:07,477 --> 07:07:07,727
just not sustainable so with

12078
07:07:09,744 --> 07:07:09,994
that members are there any

12079
07:07:10,377 --> 07:07:10,627
questions on B7.

12080
07:07:13,744 --> 07:07:13,994
seeing no questions I will

12081
07:07:15,611 --> 07:07:15,861
entertain a motion for B7 to be

12082
07:07:20,244 --> 07:07:20,494
have a first from assemblyman to

12083
07:07:22,011 --> 07:07:22,261
silva second from Senator

12084
07:07:24,211 --> 07:07:24,461
Deatete is there any discussion

12085
07:07:25,677 --> 07:07:25,927
on the motion assembly memberm

12086
07:07:26,344 --> 07:07:26,594
cole

12087
07:07:29,944 --> 07:07:30,194
thank you chair. I don't

12088
07:07:31,477 --> 07:07:31,727
necessarily object to the

12089
07:07:33,511 --> 07:07:33,761
general framework but I would

12090
07:07:35,511 --> 07:07:35,761
ask that as the bill is drafted

12091
07:07:36,177 --> 07:07:36,427
we include a discount or reduced

12092
07:07:39,511 --> 07:07:39,761
rate for the products that FdaA

12093
07:07:41,511 --> 07:07:41,761
has designated as modified risks

12094
07:07:43,711 --> 07:07:43,961
tobacco products they have

12095
07:07:44,444 --> 07:07:44,694
gone through rigorous federal

12096
07:07:46,277 --> 07:07:46,527
review establishing that they

12097
07:07:48,011 --> 07:07:48,261
pose less risk than combustible

12098
07:07:50,011 --> 07:07:50,261
tobacco and our tax policies

12099
07:07:51,744 --> 07:07:51,994
should reflect that distinction

12100
07:07:53,744 --> 07:07:53,994
so I would ask with chair's

12101
07:07:55,844 --> 07:07:56,094
permission that that be

12102
07:07:56,444 --> 07:07:56,694
included in the final draft

12103
07:08:00,244 --> 07:08:00,494
so thank you for that and I mean

12104
07:08:01,744 --> 07:08:01,994
I just have to ask this clarify

12105
07:08:03,511 --> 07:08:03,761
clarifying question are you

12106
07:08:04,077 --> 07:08:04,327
talking about like Philip Morris

12107
07:08:05,477 --> 07:08:05,727
because they they presented to

12108
07:08:07,477 --> 07:08:07,727
us I believe in what's that

12109
07:08:08,144 --> 07:08:08,394
interim

12110
07:08:08,394 --> 07:08:08,644
20

12111
07:08:09,844 --> 07:08:10,094
or

12112
07:08:12,211 --> 07:08:12,461
is that where is that the same

12113
07:08:13,977 --> 07:08:14,227
product so it's any product

12114
07:08:15,744 --> 07:08:15,994
that the fdaA would would

12115
07:08:18,211 --> 07:08:18,461
establish as reading or meeting

12116
07:08:19,944 --> 07:08:20,194
their rigorous requirements

12117
07:08:21,744 --> 07:08:21,994
right and I don't know exactly

12118
07:08:23,511 --> 07:08:23,761
what company out there have gone

12119
07:08:24,211 --> 07:08:24,461
through that process or are in

12120
07:08:25,944 --> 07:08:26,194
the process of doing it again

12121
07:08:27,744 --> 07:08:27,994
it's you know it takes years and

12122
07:08:28,444 --> 07:08:28,694
years and years so I don't know

12123
07:08:29,111 --> 07:08:29,361
that list.

12124
07:08:32,277 --> 07:08:32,527
all right is there are there is

12125
07:08:32,911 --> 07:08:33,161
there any other discussion on

12126
07:08:33,611 --> 07:08:33,861
the motion?

12127
07:08:37,477 --> 07:08:37,727

12151
07:09:40,244 --> 07:09:40,494
chairir Haley Owens for the

12152
07:09:42,044 --> 07:09:42,294
record the eth and final item in

12153
07:09:43,777 --> 07:09:44,027
the work session document is

12154
07:09:45,744 --> 07:09:45,994
item C8. The recommendation is

12155
07:09:46,477 --> 07:09:46,727
to request the drafting of a

12156
07:09:48,011 --> 07:09:48,261
bill providing for various

12157
07:09:49,711 --> 07:09:49,961
changes to one or more taxes

12158
07:09:51,744 --> 07:09:51,994
imposed under Title3I of

12159
07:09:53,744 --> 07:09:53,994
thenevada revised statutes. The

12160
07:09:55,511 --> 07:09:55,761
bill may make changes to the

12161
07:09:57,477 --> 07:09:57,727
rates, tax base or exemptions

12162
07:09:58,211 --> 07:09:58,461
for one or more of these taxes

12163
07:09:59,744 --> 07:09:59,994
rec this recommendation is

12164
07:10:00,611 --> 07:10:00,861
proposed by Senator Neal, chair

12165
07:10:01,311 --> 07:10:01,561
of this committee.

12166
07:10:07,977 --> 07:10:08,227
thank you for that so this

12167
07:10:09,711 --> 07:10:09,961
was more of a catch all because

12168
07:10:10,377 --> 07:10:10,627
we have some

12169
07:10:13,477 --> 07:10:13,727
as you know we've had some

12170
07:10:14,077 --> 07:10:14,327
presentations today

12171
07:10:18,177 --> 07:10:18,427
we just want to leave room to

12172
07:10:21,477 --> 07:10:21,727
potentially do some other tax

12173
07:10:23,977 --> 07:10:24,227
policy anditle ir2 pretty much

12174
07:10:25,877 --> 07:10:26,127
covers majority of the chapters

12175
07:10:29,744 --> 07:10:29,994
but I did want to have a

12176
07:10:31,477 --> 07:10:31,727
discussion with Mister Nakamoto

12177
07:10:32,177 --> 07:10:32,427
because I don't know if that

12178
07:10:33,944 --> 07:10:34,194
would end up being I didn't want

12179
07:10:35,711 --> 07:10:35,961
it to be, but did you get a

12180
07:10:36,277 --> 07:10:36,527
opinion on whether or not I

12181
07:10:36,844 --> 07:10:37,094
would be able to add

12182
07:10:39,811 --> 07:10:40,061
a title is ititle41?

12183
07:10:44,011 --> 07:10:44,261
madam chairirminouner with

12184
07:10:45,711 --> 07:10:45,961
fiscal analysis division for the

12185
07:10:47,977 --> 07:10:48,227
record I am still waiting for a

12186
07:10:50,044 --> 07:10:50,294
response from legal counsel

12187
07:10:50,611 --> 07:10:50,861
on that

12188
07:10:51,844 --> 07:10:52,094
so

12189
07:10:57,977 --> 07:10:58,227
so Id I need to probably create

12190
07:10:58,677 --> 07:10:58,927
a9 then

12191
07:11:03,477 --> 07:11:03,727
OK so all right so let me take

12192
07:11:04,077 --> 07:11:04,327
the motion on

12193
07:11:06,411 --> 07:11:06,661
is are there any questions on

12194
07:11:07,011 --> 07:11:07,261
C8?

12195
07:11:15,511 --> 07:11:15,761
ok so I will entertain motion

12196
07:11:18,211 --> 07:11:18,461
to draft a potential policy on

12197
07:11:20,244 --> 07:11:20,494
C8 which is like a catch all for

12198
07:11:21,777 --> 07:11:22,027
some other things that we may

12199
07:11:22,444 --> 07:11:22,694
need to get to so moved

12200
07:11:25,477 --> 07:11:25,727
so have a first from assemblyman

12201
07:11:26,211 --> 07:11:26,461
to silva second from senator

12202
07:11:27,811 --> 07:11:28,061
Diatete any discussion on the

12203
07:11:28,511 --> 07:11:28,761
motion

12204
07:11:29,811 --> 07:11:30,061
assembly member call

12205
07:11:34,011 --> 07:11:34,261
thank you madam chairir I

12206
07:11:35,511 --> 07:11:35,761
just want slag a concern that I

12207
07:11:37,511 --> 07:11:37,761
have with this recommendation as

12208
07:11:38,211 --> 07:11:38,461
written and and amended

12209
07:11:41,777 --> 07:11:42,027
so this request just seems very

12210
07:11:43,511 --> 07:11:43,761
broad to me with unspecified

12211
07:11:44,277 --> 07:11:44,527
changes to rates tax base

12212
07:11:46,244 --> 07:11:46,494
exemptions across all of Title3I

12213
07:11:50,011 --> 07:11:50,261
and possibly41 and clearly

12214
07:11:51,744 --> 07:11:51,994
the the goal is to raise taxes

12215
07:11:53,744 --> 07:11:53,994
on taxpayers so fort that reason

12216
07:11:55,511 --> 07:11:55,761
I will be a no but I also just

12217
07:11:57,711 --> 07:11:57,961
want to make a a a note on the

12218
07:11:58,344 --> 07:11:58,594
record and it's probably going

12219
07:11:59,944 --> 07:12:00,194
to make me seem really naive and

12220
07:12:01,777 --> 07:12:02,027
and silly as a as a freshman

12221
07:12:03,744 --> 07:12:03,994
legislator but I came into this

12222
07:12:06,011 --> 07:12:06,261
interim process expecting that

12223
07:12:07,744 --> 07:12:07,994
the committee's purpose it is

12224
07:12:08,444 --> 07:12:08,694
not just this committee it's all

12225
07:12:09,111 --> 07:12:09,361
the committees that have've

12226
07:12:11,977 --> 07:12:12,227
sat in thus far but I expected

12227
07:12:13,711 --> 07:12:13,961
the committee purpose to to use

12228
07:12:15,477 --> 07:12:15,727
the 9 or10 months between

12229
07:12:17,511 --> 07:12:17,761
sessions to work through bill

12230
07:12:18,211 --> 07:12:18,461
draft requests carefully and so

12231
07:12:19,977 --> 07:12:20,227
that by the time we reach the120

12232
07:12:21,744 --> 07:12:21,994
day regular session the next

12233
07:12:23,777 --> 07:12:24,027
year that we're advancing really

12234
07:12:25,744 --> 07:12:25,994
well considered legislation

12235
07:12:26,311 --> 07:12:26,561
rather than starting from

12236
07:12:28,011 --> 07:12:28,261
scratch right because we don't

12237
07:12:29,944 --> 07:12:30,194
have enough time in120 days but

12238
07:12:31,711 --> 07:12:31,961
this request is very open ended

12239
07:12:33,511 --> 07:12:33,761
and it doesn't it doesn't feel

12240
07:12:35,977 --> 07:12:36,227
like it reflects that process

12241
07:12:38,044 --> 07:12:38,294
and that just disheartens me I

12242
07:12:38,744 --> 07:12:38,994
guess from a transparency

12243
07:12:39,277 --> 07:12:39,527
perspect

12244
07:12:41,711 --> 07:12:41,961
ive with with our

12245
07:12:45,477 --> 07:12:45,727
constituents so to me and and

12246
07:12:47,477 --> 07:12:47,727
I know this is a a really far

12247
07:12:48,511 --> 07:12:48,761
reach for asking a committee to

12248
07:12:49,744 --> 07:12:49,994
do this but I would love to see

12249
07:12:51,777 --> 07:12:52,027
more specificity about the

12250
07:12:52,377 --> 07:12:52,627
problem we're trying to solve

12251
07:12:53,777 --> 07:12:54,027
and then you know the wall

12252
07:12:55,777 --> 07:12:56,027
articulated request so that I

12253
07:12:57,744 --> 07:12:57,994
can confidently vote something

12254
07:12:58,377 --> 07:12:58,627
out of committee but thank you.

12255
07:13:02,177 --> 07:13:02,427
thank you for that commentary

12256
07:13:05,477 --> 07:13:05,727
so basically when we talked

12257
07:13:07,477 --> 07:13:07,727
about several different topics

12258
07:13:09,477 --> 07:13:09,727
over the past few months there's

12259
07:13:10,244 --> 07:13:10,494
just still some open ended

12260
07:13:12,277 --> 07:13:12,527
issues that

12261
07:13:16,211 --> 07:13:16,461
I I I just don't know where

12262
07:13:17,977 --> 07:13:18,227
we're going we might go but

12263
07:13:19,744 --> 07:13:19,994
maybe the business community

12264
07:13:21,711 --> 07:13:21,961
says absolutely not. but at the

12265
07:13:23,977 --> 07:13:24,227
end of the day I needed to make

12266
07:13:25,944 --> 07:13:26,194
room because we were looking at

12267
07:13:28,177 --> 07:13:28,427
increased rates on certain

12268
07:13:30,377 --> 07:13:30,627
categories that hadn't been

12269
07:13:30,977 --> 07:13:31,227
touched in 15 years.

12270
07:13:34,011 --> 07:13:34,261
which I started off the

12271
07:13:36,011 --> 07:13:36,261
conversation at the beginning of

12272
07:13:37,977 --> 07:13:38,227
the all of the interim meetings

12273
07:13:40,077 --> 07:13:40,327
saying that you know we're on a

12274
07:13:40,744 --> 07:13:40,994
modernization

12275
07:13:44,177 --> 07:13:44,427
we're also looking to look at

12276
07:13:46,211 --> 07:13:46,461
updates so I'll give you one

12277
07:13:48,177 --> 07:13:48,427
example where this probably is

12278
07:13:51,477 --> 07:13:51,727
going to be inclusive so if you

12279
07:13:53,711 --> 07:13:53,961
well you weren't so it during

12280
07:13:56,011 --> 07:13:56,261
the legislative session we had a

12281
07:13:56,677 --> 07:13:56,927
meeting a ways after darkrk.

12282
07:14:00,344 --> 07:14:00,594
and in that meeting ways after

12283
07:14:01,044 --> 07:14:01,294
dark

12284
07:14:03,977 --> 07:14:04,227
which happened on the assembly

12285
07:14:05,944 --> 07:14:06,194
side there was a document

12286
07:14:08,211 --> 07:14:08,461
produced by Mr Nakamoto in all

12287
07:14:10,011 --> 07:14:10,261
of its glory that listed veryy

12288
07:14:15,477 --> 07:14:15,727
nuanced pieces that could

12289
07:14:16,211 --> 07:14:16,461
be changed that were not big

12290
07:14:18,011 --> 07:14:18,261
ticket changes but they were

12291
07:14:20,244 --> 07:14:20,494
small changes in various

12292
07:14:21,777 --> 07:14:22,027
categories but you know whether

12293
07:14:23,644 --> 07:14:23,894
or not it was like a small

12294
07:14:24,211 --> 07:14:24,461
exemption

12295
07:14:26,211 --> 07:14:26,461
that probably could be

12296
07:14:27,744 --> 07:14:27,994
removed that would generate

12297
07:14:30,211 --> 07:14:30,461
revenue or make that particular

12298
07:14:33,477 --> 07:14:33,727
tax perform better and so what I

12299
07:14:35,711 --> 07:14:35,961
told him was that I'm looking to

12300
07:14:36,411 --> 07:14:36,661
see what are some of the small

12301
07:14:38,211 --> 07:14:38,461
changes that we could do that

12302
07:14:40,177 --> 07:14:40,427
would then be a combined effort

12303
07:14:43,977 --> 07:14:44,227
without big ticket wholesale

12304
07:14:46,211 --> 07:14:46,461
changes such as like changing

12305
07:14:47,944 --> 07:14:48,194
the MBT so

12306
07:14:50,211 --> 07:14:50,461
looking at all of those things

12307
07:14:51,744 --> 07:14:51,994
that were already produced that

12308
07:14:53,844 --> 07:14:54,094
we had a hearing on in 25

12309
07:14:56,211 --> 07:14:56,461
where there were small items

12310
07:14:58,211 --> 07:14:58,461
that they just make the

12311
07:15:01,944 --> 07:15:02,194
performance of the existing tax

12312
07:15:04,211 --> 07:15:04,461
better and that this was one of

12313
07:15:07,977 --> 07:15:08,227
the areas in C8 that I asked

12314
07:15:09,977 --> 07:15:10,227
them to examine and look at

12315
07:15:11,944 --> 07:15:12,194
right? It's also a document that

12316
07:15:13,977 --> 07:15:14,227
I've been carrying around

12317
07:15:15,944 --> 07:15:16,194
like a bag lady like in my

12318
07:15:17,977 --> 07:15:18,227
backpack because it was such a

12319
07:15:19,977 --> 07:15:20,227
thorough document that just

12320
07:15:21,977 --> 07:15:22,227
kind of explored each and

12321
07:15:23,844 --> 07:15:24,094
everyta that well not all I

12322
07:15:24,411 --> 07:15:24,661
would say

12323
07:15:27,511 --> 07:15:27,761
majority that we put forth and

12324
07:15:28,211 --> 07:15:28,461
had these little small changes

12325
07:15:29,977 --> 07:15:30,227
that could be made but in

12326
07:15:31,944 --> 07:15:32,194
combination they would make a

12327
07:15:35,477 --> 07:15:35,727
difference to the efficiency of

12328
07:15:36,411 --> 07:15:36,661
attacks so this was really what

12329
07:15:39,844 --> 07:15:40,094
I was getting at in C8 so

12330
07:15:44,177 --> 07:15:44,427
if that helps fine if it doesn't

12331
07:15:47,744 --> 07:15:47,994
that's fine too but it would be

12332
07:15:49,744 --> 07:15:49,994
I would be hard pressed to spell

12333
07:15:51,677 --> 07:15:51,927
all of those things out

12334
07:15:54,277 --> 07:15:54,527
a document exists maybe you know

12335
07:15:58,211 --> 07:15:58,461
I mean technically if you want

12336
07:15:59,677 --> 07:15:59,927
to see it I'm sure

12337
07:16:02,244 --> 07:16:02,494
Mister Nakamoto could share a

12338
07:16:04,077 --> 07:16:04,327
copy or mail it to your house if

12339
07:16:05,477 --> 07:16:05,727
you just have it for the

12340
07:16:07,977 --> 07:16:08,227
presence of mind for 2027 if

12341
07:16:08,577 --> 07:16:08,827
any of those taxes pop up

12342
07:16:11,977 --> 07:16:12,227
but that's what I was looking at

12343
07:16:15,477 --> 07:16:15,727
so if that helps the record

12344
07:16:17,511 --> 07:16:17,761
I've always been a revenue chair

12345
07:16:19,644 --> 07:16:19,894
but I'm also not you know

12346
07:16:24,044 --> 07:16:24,294
I mean you might think the data

12347
07:16:25,977 --> 07:16:26,227
moratorium was crazy but the

12348
07:16:27,777 --> 07:16:28,027
thing is I don't actually just

12349
07:16:28,444 --> 07:16:28,694
go out of my way to just you

12350
07:16:29,111 --> 07:16:29,361
know

12351
07:16:32,277 --> 07:16:32,527
sucker punch businesses right

12352
07:16:35,477 --> 07:16:35,727
with taxes I typically have the

12353
07:16:37,511 --> 07:16:37,761
conversation and say this is

12354
07:16:38,477 --> 07:16:38,727
what I'm doing love it hate it

12355
07:16:41,777 --> 07:16:42,027
but here it is right? I actually

12356
07:16:43,511 --> 07:16:43,761
don't pull any punches and there

12357
07:16:44,244 --> 07:16:44,494
wouldn't be a single business

12358
07:16:47,511 --> 07:16:47,761
person that would tell you that

12359
07:16:49,744 --> 07:16:49,994
I have randomly shown up and

12360
07:16:50,477 --> 07:16:50,727
said you know what you didn't

12361
07:16:52,011 --> 07:16:52,261
know what was coming cause I

12362
07:16:53,977 --> 07:16:54,227
usually say you're gonna hate

12363
07:16:54,644 --> 07:16:54,894
this I'm doing it.

12364
07:16:57,777 --> 07:16:58,027
hatete it hate it hate it later

12365
07:16:59,511 --> 07:16:59,761
hate it on the record but this

12366
07:17:00,111 --> 07:17:00,361
is happening it's probably

12367
07:17:00,711 --> 07:17:00,961
getting a hearing

12368
07:17:04,211 --> 07:17:04,461
so but I'm always transparent

12369
07:17:07,477 --> 07:17:07,727
on any business tax and I

12370
07:17:08,211 --> 07:17:08,461
talked to the business community

12371
07:17:09,977 --> 07:17:10,227
and I tell them exactly what I'm

12372
07:17:12,011 --> 07:17:12,261
gonna do right? even if they're

12373
07:17:14,011 --> 07:17:14,261
just like I hate this and I know

12374
07:17:16,044 --> 07:17:16,294
some people who hate LET but

12375
07:17:16,611 --> 07:17:16,861
that's ok right?

12376
07:17:19,944 --> 07:17:20,194
part of it's part of the

12377
07:17:21,511 --> 07:17:21,761
conversation at the end of the

12378
07:17:22,177 --> 07:17:22,427
day we need to raise revenue in

12379
07:17:22,844 --> 07:17:23,094
the state.

12380
07:17:25,844 --> 07:17:26,094
we are potentially facing seven

12381
07:17:27,844 --> 07:17:28,094
billion dollars hit

12382
07:17:30,477 --> 07:17:30,727
just because of the big

12383
07:17:31,077 --> 07:17:31,327
beautiful act.

12384
07:17:34,244 --> 07:17:34,494
which is disturbing over 10

12385
07:17:36,211 --> 07:17:36,461
years,7 billion over the 10

12386
07:17:37,944 --> 07:17:38,194
years so we have a couple of

12387
07:17:38,611 --> 07:17:38,861
options

12388
07:17:41,977 --> 07:17:42,227
we could reduce benefits right

12389
07:17:43,977 --> 07:17:44,227
we can reduce the eligible

12390
07:17:46,244 --> 07:17:46,494
population for medicaid and all

12391
07:17:47,777 --> 07:17:48,027
of a sudden change the

12392
07:17:49,511 --> 07:17:49,761
trajectory of all of the work

12393
07:17:50,244 --> 07:17:50,494
that we've done for 20 years in

12394
07:17:52,011 --> 07:17:52,261
order to make sure people are

12395
07:17:55,511 --> 07:17:55,761
eligible and I know for me one

12396
07:17:57,511 --> 07:17:57,761
of the major things that we just

12397
07:17:59,977 --> 07:18:00,227
got on board was July1,2026 was

12398
07:18:00,677 --> 07:18:00,927
to pay for adult dental

12399
07:18:03,777 --> 07:18:04,027
and why that matters and why I

12400
07:18:04,544 --> 07:18:04,794
would never want to pull that

12401
07:18:07,511 --> 07:18:07,761
back is's because grown people

12402
07:18:10,277 --> 07:18:10,527
from age 21 to64 rather than

12403
07:18:11,777 --> 07:18:12,027
being able to afford to pay

12404
07:18:12,644 --> 07:18:12,894
cavities we're getting their

12405
07:18:13,344 --> 07:18:13,594
teeth pulled

12406
07:18:16,011 --> 07:18:16,261
when really it should have been

12407
07:18:17,977 --> 07:18:18,227
the act of getting a cavity

12408
07:18:19,744 --> 07:18:19,994
taken care of and that has been

12409
07:18:21,511 --> 07:18:21,761
a consistent behavior that I've

12410
07:18:23,511 --> 07:18:23,761
been watching since 2023 and

12411
07:18:24,244 --> 07:18:24,494
that would be an expanded

12412
07:18:26,011 --> 07:18:26,261
benefit that came that the state

12413
07:18:26,744 --> 07:18:26,994
is now paying for

12414
07:18:31,744 --> 07:18:31,994
but because the big beautiful

12415
07:18:34,177 --> 07:18:34,427
act has shifted cost onto the

12416
07:18:36,244 --> 07:18:36,494
states in a potential and it's

12417
07:18:39,744 --> 07:18:39,994
not even really potential7

12418
07:18:41,977 --> 07:18:42,227
billion over 10 years we need to

12419
07:18:43,744 --> 07:18:43,994
have a conversation whether or

12420
07:18:45,977 --> 07:18:46,227
not it's small or large on how

12421
07:18:47,511 --> 07:18:47,761
to bring revenue into the state.

12422
07:18:49,744 --> 07:18:49,994
I believe we had13 bargaining

12423
07:18:52,077 --> 07:18:52,327
units that came the end of 2025

12424
07:18:52,744 --> 07:18:52,994
session

12425
07:18:56,244 --> 07:18:56,494
we were not able to fund those

12426
07:18:58,277 --> 07:18:58,527
bargaining units in the state as

12427
07:19:01,744 --> 07:19:01,994
state employees. We were have to

12428
07:19:03,511 --> 07:19:03,761
continue to do oneoffs in the

12429
07:19:05,511 --> 07:19:05,761
state just to fund social

12430
07:19:07,711 --> 07:19:07,961
services we could not continue

12431
07:19:10,011 --> 07:19:10,261
to do behavior as oneshots when

12432
07:19:11,977 --> 07:19:12,227
we know that we need to fund

12433
07:19:13,977 --> 07:19:14,227
activities people and services

12434
07:19:14,644 --> 07:19:14,894
long term.

12435
07:19:17,511 --> 07:19:17,761
we have never successfully

12436
07:19:20,177 --> 07:19:20,427
funded mental health since we

12437
07:19:20,844 --> 07:19:21,094
have been a body

12438
07:19:22,277 --> 07:19:22,527
and so with that

12439
07:19:26,244 --> 07:19:26,494
I am like I take risks every

12440
07:19:28,211 --> 07:19:28,461
single session to bring revenue

12441
07:19:29,977 --> 07:19:30,227
forward and people either hate

12442
07:19:31,744 --> 07:19:31,994
it, love it don't want to do it

12443
07:19:34,244 --> 07:19:34,494
it's fine but my job is to

12444
07:19:35,977 --> 07:19:36,227
always put the revenue forward

12445
07:19:37,711 --> 07:19:37,961
and say there is a possibility

12446
07:19:39,744 --> 07:19:39,994
if you want to fund this issue

12447
07:19:41,511 --> 07:19:41,761
if you want to fund these10

12448
07:19:43,777 --> 07:19:44,027
issues at least have the revenue

12449
07:19:45,744 --> 07:19:45,994
on the table and I've also

12450
07:19:47,811 --> 07:19:48,061
mentioned multiple times to

12451
07:19:49,777 --> 07:19:50,027
folks that you know if there was

12452
07:19:51,544 --> 07:19:51,794
local government revenue that I

12453
07:19:52,211 --> 07:19:52,461
was also focused on

12454
07:19:55,777 --> 07:19:56,027
actual reduction of government

12455
07:19:57,944 --> 07:19:58,194
waste and foolishness that is

12456
07:19:58,644 --> 07:19:58,894
used with taxpayer money

12457
07:20:01,777 --> 07:20:02,027
so I just want to put that on

12458
07:20:03,777 --> 07:20:04,027
the record that I am probably

12459
07:20:04,411 --> 07:20:04,661
one of the most transparent

12460
07:20:08,311 --> 07:20:08,561
people whether or not folks like

12461
07:20:10,277 --> 07:20:10,527
it love it I still do it but I

12462
07:20:12,377 --> 07:20:12,627
tell you how I tell you why and

12463
07:20:13,044 --> 07:20:13,294
I tell you when.

12464
07:20:16,011 --> 07:20:16,261
and so if there's any lobbyists

12465
07:20:18,077 --> 07:20:18,327
that is different he needs to

12466
07:20:18,744 --> 07:20:18,994
come tell me to my face

12467
07:20:20,544 --> 07:20:20,794
and so because it would not be

12468
07:20:21,211 --> 07:20:21,461
true

12469
07:20:24,277 --> 07:20:24,527
so I just want to put that

12470
07:20:26,311 --> 07:20:26,561
out there so I'm sorry that

12471
07:20:28,011 --> 07:20:28,261
you're disenheartened that we

12472
07:20:29,977 --> 07:20:30,227
would put something like this C8

12473
07:20:33,511 --> 07:20:33,761
on on on the record but we're

12474
07:20:34,311 --> 07:20:34,561
running out of time and the only

12475
07:20:36,044 --> 07:20:36,294
thing we have is the cannabis

12476
07:20:38,277 --> 07:20:38,527
study and that might also fall

12477
07:20:40,277 --> 07:20:40,527
into this if the cannabis study

12478
07:20:42,544 --> 07:20:42,794
comes back telling us that we

12479
07:20:44,011 --> 07:20:44,261
need to do something different

12480
07:20:45,677 --> 07:20:45,927
in the cannabis

12481
07:20:49,511 --> 07:20:49,761
regulatory framework around the

12482
07:20:50,211 --> 07:20:50,461
taxes and so

12483
07:20:52,344 --> 07:20:52,594
I'll just stop there

12484
07:20:58,044 --> 07:20:58,294
not the add a com not the

12485
07:20:59,977 --> 07:21:00,227
assemblyman assemblywoman

12486
07:21:02,477 --> 07:21:02,727
anderson thank you and and I I

12487
07:21:03,977 --> 07:21:04,227
appreciate what you just said

12488
07:21:06,011 --> 07:21:06,261
and also I want to bring up how

12489
07:21:08,244 --> 07:21:08,494
important it is also not only

12490
07:21:10,277 --> 07:21:10,527
I I appreciate actually the way

12491
07:21:12,011 --> 07:21:12,261
this is worded at this time

12492
07:21:13,744 --> 07:21:13,994
because there are so many

12493
07:21:15,511 --> 07:21:15,761
different things and I

12494
07:21:15,977 --> 07:21:16,227
understand where somebody's like

12495
07:21:17,511 --> 07:21:17,761
well we should have this time to

12496
07:21:19,711 --> 07:21:19,961
do it but the reality is we

12497
07:21:20,311 --> 07:21:20,561
have120 day session.

12498
07:21:24,044 --> 07:21:24,294
Our role as assembly members is

12499
07:21:25,744 --> 07:21:25,994
to talk with our constituents as

12500
07:21:27,711 --> 07:21:27,961
much as possible and to get that

12501
07:21:29,477 --> 07:21:29,727
information there the role of

12502
07:21:30,511 --> 07:21:30,761
the committee is to hear

12503
07:21:32,311 --> 07:21:32,561
information so that way when we

12504
07:21:35,677 --> 07:21:35,927
are in session we have some more

12505
07:21:36,377 --> 07:21:36,627
background knowledge.

12506
07:21:38,444 --> 07:21:38,694
but the other thing is and this

12507
07:21:40,244 --> 07:21:40,494
is personal for me because my

12508
07:21:43,511 --> 07:21:43,761
school's impacted with it we

12509
07:21:44,377 --> 07:21:44,627
cannot always plan for financial

12510
07:21:45,077 --> 07:21:45,327
emergencies.

12511
07:21:49,544 --> 07:21:49,794
we cannot plan for a fire that

12512
07:21:51,677 --> 07:21:51,927
is decimating my community at

12513
07:21:52,344 --> 07:21:52,594
this time.

12514
07:21:55,744 --> 07:21:55,994
and we need to plan for that

12515
07:21:56,511 --> 07:21:56,761
budget as well and so I

12516
07:21:58,011 --> 07:21:58,261
appreciate this information

12517
07:22:00,144 --> 07:22:00,394
because we cannot always plan

12518
07:22:04,144 --> 07:22:04,394
on emergencies as what was just

12519
07:22:04,777 --> 07:22:05,027
stated by the chair

12520
07:22:08,011 --> 07:22:08,261
there are too many things going

12521
07:22:10,011 --> 07:22:10,261
on we have a broken economic

12522
07:22:11,511 --> 07:22:11,761
system this is a way to start to

12523
07:22:12,211 --> 07:22:12,461
to solve it

12524
07:22:15,744 --> 07:22:15,994
and I I know I will not get a

12525
07:22:17,477 --> 07:22:17,727
chance to say that this at the

12526
07:22:18,211 --> 07:22:18,461
end but I do want to put on the

12527
07:22:20,211 --> 07:22:20,461
record how much I appreciate all

12528
07:22:22,011 --> 07:22:22,261
of our first responders who have

12529
07:22:23,777 --> 07:22:24,027
fought the fires in both

12530
07:22:25,477 --> 07:22:25,727
northern Nevada, southern

12531
07:22:27,511 --> 07:22:27,761
Nevada, as well as those fires

12532
07:22:28,111 --> 07:22:28,361
that are occurring right now in

12533
07:22:30,011 --> 07:22:30,261
other areas of our state so this

12534
07:22:32,011 --> 07:22:32,261
is something that matters to all

12535
07:22:33,711 --> 07:22:33,961
of us and we don't we cannot

12536
07:22:34,277 --> 07:22:34,527
plan for it

12537
07:22:34,744 --> 07:22:34,994
thank you chair

12538
07:22:35,711 --> 07:22:35,961
all right

12539
07:22:42,011 --> 07:22:42,261
OK so we will I will entertain

12540
07:22:44,377 --> 07:22:44,627
emotion on C8. I think I did

12541
07:22:44,944 --> 07:22:45,194
already.

12542
07:22:48,011 --> 07:22:48,261
so I did so all in favor to say

12543
07:22:49,677 --> 07:22:49,927
aye

12544
07:22:53,544 --> 07:22:53,794
so drop two names yes

12545
07:22:56,311 --> 07:22:56,561
so assembly member cole and

12546
07:22:57,844 --> 07:22:58,094
assembly member Patchett nay

12547
07:23:02,244 --> 07:23:02,494
motion carries thank you I

12548
07:23:04,011 --> 07:23:04,261
do want to mention something on

12549
07:23:05,744 --> 07:23:05,994
digital goods for the local

12550
07:23:07,511 --> 07:23:07,761
governments that are listening

12551
07:23:10,411 --> 07:23:10,661
was it 21 or 23 version which

12552
07:23:11,077 --> 07:23:11,327
one

12553
07:23:12,177 --> 07:23:12,427
they had the excise

12554
07:23:15,777 --> 07:23:16,027
so there's going to be the

12555
07:23:18,011 --> 07:23:18,261
excise tax that's in there that

12556
07:23:21,777 --> 07:23:22,027
also goes toce so that's the one

12557
07:23:22,511 --> 07:23:22,761
you should pay attention to it's

12558
07:23:24,011 --> 07:23:24,261
just going to be a wider base

12559
07:23:26,244 --> 07:23:26,494
more I'm trying to add more into

12560
07:23:27,944 --> 07:23:28,194
the base of it

12561
07:23:31,477 --> 07:23:31,727
to see if we capture all the new

12562
07:23:33,544 --> 07:23:33,794
stuff that's going on so thank

12563
07:23:34,277 --> 07:23:34,527
you for everybody that killed it

12564
07:23:36,311 --> 07:23:36,561
for every session from 2019 to

12565
07:23:38,277 --> 07:23:38,527
now because the products

12566
07:23:40,477 --> 07:23:40,727
wouldn't be out there for me to

12567
07:23:41,144 --> 07:23:41,394
say you're in

12568
07:23:42,111 --> 07:23:42,361
I appreciate it

12569
07:23:45,744 --> 07:23:45,994
madam chairir yeah

12570
07:23:48,011 --> 07:23:48,261
ummi Nakamoto with fiscal

12571
07:23:49,777 --> 07:23:50,027
analysis division for the record

12572
07:23:51,511 --> 07:23:51,761
in response to your previous

12573
07:23:54,011 --> 07:23:54,261
question about changes to

12574
07:23:56,211 --> 07:23:56,461
Title41 relating to gaming I did

12575
07:23:59,511 --> 07:23:59,761
get work back from legal

12576
07:24:01,511 --> 07:24:01,761
that they advised that it would

12577
07:24:03,711 --> 07:24:03,961
probably be advisable to do

12578
07:24:06,144 --> 07:24:06,394
that as a separate BDr so if

12579
07:24:07,944 --> 07:24:08,194
that is the will, your will

12580
07:24:11,777 --> 07:24:12,027
we could consider that as C9

12581
07:24:13,911 --> 07:24:14,161
which would be the request of

12582
07:24:14,577 --> 07:24:14,827
a drafting of a bill

12583
07:24:16,011 --> 07:24:16,261
that would provide to various

12584
07:24:19,777 --> 07:24:20,027
changes for the tax the

12585
07:24:21,477 --> 07:24:21,727
taxes or fees or regulation

12586
07:24:24,277 --> 07:24:24,527
under Title41 since I think a

12587
07:24:26,044 --> 07:24:26,294
lot of the discussion today on

12588
07:24:27,744 --> 07:24:27,994
prediction markets may be more

12589
07:24:30,211 --> 07:24:30,461
regulatory in nature but that

12590
07:24:34,011 --> 07:24:34,261
I think would be based on

12591
07:24:36,011 --> 07:24:36,261
your previous comments and

12592
07:24:38,011 --> 07:24:38,261
the direction that that one

12593
07:24:39,511 --> 07:24:39,761
would go

12594
07:24:42,044 --> 07:24:42,294
on so members this may not

12595
07:24:42,711 --> 07:24:42,961
happen but this would be a vote

12596
07:24:49,677 --> 07:24:49,927
to draft potentially draft C9

12597
07:24:50,344 --> 07:24:50,594
so if

12598
07:24:54,244 --> 07:24:54,494
the nevada wins it lawsuit in

12599
07:24:57,511 --> 07:24:57,761
the prediction markets being

12600
07:24:59,977 --> 07:25:00,227
able to tax prediction

12601
07:25:02,011 --> 07:25:02,261
markets bring them under

12602
07:25:05,477 --> 07:25:05,727
uhitle41 which is the gaming

12603
07:25:07,944 --> 07:25:08,194
chapter. that's what C9 would

12604
07:25:10,011 --> 07:25:10,261
do I don't think we should

12605
07:25:11,777 --> 07:25:12,027
leave that revenue on the table

12606
07:25:15,511 --> 07:25:15,761
if it if there is a pathway

12607
07:25:17,844 --> 07:25:18,094
for us to get it I think we

12608
07:25:18,411 --> 07:25:18,661
should definitely do it.

12609
07:25:20,277 --> 07:25:20,527
so that's what that would be

12610
07:25:22,277 --> 07:25:22,527
and so I'm sure that's once

12611
07:25:24,477 --> 07:25:24,727
again controversial but

12612
07:25:28,011 --> 07:25:28,261
it's there are there any

12613
07:25:29,477 --> 07:25:29,727
questions on C9 but that's

12614
07:25:30,111 --> 07:25:30,361
ultimately what it would be

12615
07:25:30,677 --> 07:25:30,927
dealing with.

12616
07:25:34,244 --> 07:25:34,494
so seeing no questions that will

12617
07:25:35,777 --> 07:25:36,027
entertain a motion to draft

12618
07:25:39,977 --> 07:25:40,227
C9itle41 for potential

12619
07:25:43,511 --> 07:25:43,761
prediction market revenue if we

12620
07:25:44,377 --> 07:25:44,627
were to win a lawsuit

12621
07:25:47,977 --> 07:25:48,227
to regulate it all right so I

12622
07:25:49,744 --> 07:25:49,994
have a first from assembly

12623
07:25:51,744 --> 07:25:51,994

07:25:57,744 --> 07:25:57,994
Second worship come from here so

12625
07:26:00,077 --> 07:26:00,327
senator Deatete's second any

12626
07:26:00,677 --> 07:26:00,927
discussion on the motion?

12627
07:26:03,744 --> 07:26:03,994
seeing no discussion at all in

12628
07:26:04,411 --> 07:26:04,661
favor say i

12629
07:26:06,044 --> 07:26:06,294

12630
07:26:07,944 --> 07:26:08,194

OK no that's fine then thank you

to our public services and

12658
07:27:15,777 --> 07:27:16,027

12659
07:27:16,511 --> 07:27:16,761
greatly appreciate every

12660
07:27:17,811 --> 07:27:18,061
conversation we have in this

12661
07:27:19,744 --> 07:27:19,994

representing1.4 million Asme

12669
07:27:35,744 --> 07:27:35,994
workers recently ratified a

12670
07:27:36,544 --> 07:27:36,794
resolution prioritizing

12671
07:27:41,477 --> 07:27:41,727
prioritizing families over

12672
07:27:42,244 --> 07:27:42,494
corporations and I do believe

12673
07:27:43,744 --> 07:27:43,994
that that is what this good

12674
07:27:44,477 --> 07:27:44,727
committee that this good

12675
07:27:45,911 --> 07:27:46,161
committee is doing. thank you so

12676
07:27:46,611 --> 07:27:46,861
much for your work.

12677
07:27:53,711 --> 07:27:53,961
Good evening chair and

12678
07:27:54,177 --> 07:27:54,427
committee. my name is

12679
07:27:55,677 --> 07:27:55,927
Sabrinaettrell. I am here today

12680
07:27:56,411 --> 07:27:56,661
on behalf of the Nevada Primary

12681
07:27:57,977 --> 07:27:58,227
Care association the association

12682
07:27:58,711 --> 07:27:58,961
represents the state's

12683
07:27:59,744 --> 07:27:59,994
federallyqualified health

12684
07:28:01,944 --> 07:28:02,194
centers or FQHCs our members

12685
07:28:04,244 --> 07:28:04,494
cared for nearly136,000 divans

12686
07:28:05,744 --> 07:28:05,994
last year including more

12687
07:28:07,744 --> 07:28:07,994
than38,000 uninsured patients

12688
07:28:08,577 --> 07:28:08,827
and almost48,000 who are covered

12689
07:28:09,244 --> 07:28:09,494
by medicaid

12690
07:28:11,744 --> 07:28:11,994
Nevada's FQHCs are bracing for

12691
07:28:12,444 --> 07:28:12,694
an increase in the number of

12692
07:28:14,244 --> 07:28:14,494
uninsured patients due to work

12693
07:28:15,977 --> 07:28:16,227
requirements imposed by HR one

12694
07:28:19,711 --> 07:28:19,961
are cost per patient was1948

12695
07:28:21,944 --> 07:28:22,194
dollars in 2025. we

12696
07:28:23,711 --> 07:28:23,961
collected1765 for medicaid

12697
07:28:26,211 --> 07:28:26,461
patient and only $216 per

12698
07:28:27,977 --> 07:28:28,227
uninsured patient that's a

12699
07:28:29,944 --> 07:28:30,194
deficit of about1,700 dollars

12700
07:28:30,611 --> 07:28:30,861
for every patient who becomes

12701
07:28:31,311 --> 07:28:31,561
uninsured.

12702
07:28:33,777 --> 07:28:34,027
One way the legislature could

12703
07:28:34,444 --> 07:28:34,694
support the expected burden on

12704
07:28:36,277 --> 07:28:36,527
FQHCs is to exempt them from

12705
07:28:39,477 --> 07:28:39,727
property tax. At least5 states

12706
07:28:40,177 --> 07:28:40,427
currently have this exemption.

12707
07:28:41,744 --> 07:28:41,994
Nevada already exempts as Mister

12708
07:28:43,477 --> 07:28:43,727
Nakamoto went through charitable

12709
07:28:44,211 --> 07:28:44,461
foundations, property leased

12710
07:28:47,511 --> 07:28:47,761
tonshi fraternity sororities

12711
07:28:48,377 --> 07:28:48,627
special nonprofits and volunteer

12712
07:28:49,044 --> 07:28:49,294
fire departments

12713
07:28:51,944 --> 07:28:52,194
if this exemption were available

12714
07:28:53,977 --> 07:28:54,227
for FQHC own properties as well

12715
07:28:55,511 --> 07:28:55,761
as leased properties this would

12716
07:28:57,744 --> 07:28:57,994
save about723,000 dollars

12717
07:28:59,477 --> 07:28:59,727
statewide that could be directly

12718
07:29:00,177 --> 07:29:00,427
put into patient care. this

12719
07:29:02,211 --> 07:29:02,461
would allow the fQHCs to serve

12720
07:29:04,211 --> 07:29:04,461
by our estimate about375

12721
07:29:04,711 --> 07:29:04,961
additional uninsured patients

12722
07:29:08,011 --> 07:29:08,261
so thank you madam chairir for

12723
07:29:09,744 --> 07:29:09,994

12724
07:29:11,744 --> 07:29:11,994
of our mind and NVPCA really

12725
07:29:12,411 --> 07:29:12,661
looks forward to connecting to

12726

12731

first class services from

12732

appreciate the conversation

12750
07:29:56,211 --> 07:29:56,461
around around data centers and

12751
07:29:58,277 --> 07:29:58,527
as far as water goes I've

12752
07:30:00,211 --> 07:30:00,461
expressed my concerns to DrI

12753
07:30:02,011 --> 07:30:02,261
directly about the methodology

12754
07:30:03,977 --> 07:30:04,227
one of my assignments is a

12755
07:30:05,511 --> 07:30:05,761
trustee for the public utility

12756
07:30:06,144 --> 07:30:06,394
that provides water and

12757
07:30:08,244 --> 07:30:08,494
wastewater services to many of

12758
07:30:10,011 --> 07:30:10,261
these facilities and we have an

12759
07:30:12,011 --> 07:30:12,261
open offer repeated several

12760
07:30:13,777 --> 07:30:14,027
times over the last year to meet

12761
07:30:16,011 --> 07:30:16,261
with to allow their researchers

12762
07:30:17,511 --> 07:30:17,761
to meet with our technical staff

12763
07:30:18,277 --> 07:30:18,527
to acquire more accurate and

12764
07:30:20,277 --> 07:30:20,527
localized data on actual water

12765
07:30:21,844 --> 07:30:22,094
usage and we're we're looking

12766
07:30:24,011 --> 07:30:24,261
forward to engaging further on

12767
07:30:26,077 --> 07:30:26,327
that to make sure that it truly

12768
07:30:27,777 --> 07:30:28,027
reflects what's happening on the

12769
07:30:29,744 --> 07:30:29,994
ground overall Story County

12770
07:30:31,711 --> 07:30:31,961
favors a modernization approach

12771
07:30:33,711 --> 07:30:33,961
to abatements more similar to

12772
07:30:34,311 --> 07:30:34,561
the approach outlined by

12773
07:30:36,077 --> 07:30:36,327
assembly member Cole which is

12774
07:30:37,777 --> 07:30:38,027
why we are introducing a bill to

12775
07:30:38,477 --> 07:30:38,727
do exactly that as a local

12776
07:30:40,211 --> 07:30:40,461
jurisdiction that really

12777
07:30:42,011 --> 07:30:42,261
supports the largest number of

12778
07:30:44,011 --> 07:30:44,261
abatements in the state. I spent

12779
07:30:45,511 --> 07:30:45,761
some time yesterday with some

12780
07:30:46,511 --> 07:30:46,761
reps from our IW local and I

12781
07:30:47,777 --> 07:30:48,027
just want to summarize a few of

12782
07:30:49,511 --> 07:30:49,761
the things that they shared in

12783
07:30:51,877 --> 07:30:52,127
relation to the impact of data

12784
07:30:52,477 --> 07:30:52,727
center construction

12785
07:30:54,011 --> 07:30:54,261
according to our building

12786
07:30:55,744 --> 07:30:55,994
struction Trades co up here they

12787
07:30:57,977 --> 07:30:58,227
estimate8 to10,000 union trade

12788
07:30:59,477 --> 07:30:59,727
workers daily are working in

07:31:00,511 --> 07:31:00,761
thetajarino inndustrial Center

12790
07:31:02,044 --> 07:31:02,294
as evidenced by the horrible

12791
07:31:02,677 --> 07:31:02,927
traffic and

12792
07:31:06,044 --> 07:31:06,294
most of those are working on

12793
07:31:06,611 --> 07:31:06,861
data center projects

12794
07:31:07,111 --> 07:31:07,361
specifically

12795
07:31:10,211 --> 07:31:10,461
4000 electricians union

12796
07:31:12,211 --> 07:31:12,461
electricians are working in the

12797
07:31:14,211 --> 07:31:14,461
region and80% of those are

12798
07:31:14,844 --> 07:31:15,094
working on data center projects

12799
07:31:19,477 --> 07:31:19,727
the typical pay with substantial

12800
07:31:21,744 --> 07:31:21,994
overtime that is that is

12801
07:31:23,511 --> 07:31:23,761
normal for a data center project

12802
07:31:24,311 --> 07:31:24,561
at the journey level is coming

12803
07:31:27,511 --> 07:31:27,761
in about170,000 dollars a year

12804
07:31:28,277 --> 07:31:28,527
plus benefits plummbers and

12805
07:31:29,977 --> 07:31:30,227
pipeitters are coming in at

12806
07:31:32,044 --> 07:31:32,294
almost180,000 dollars according

12807
07:31:32,711 --> 07:31:32,961
to their estimates

12808
07:31:34,444 --> 07:31:34,694
we have about1,000

12809
07:31:35,744 --> 07:31:35,994
electricians from southern

12810
07:31:36,577 --> 07:31:36,827
Nevada currently working on

12811
07:31:37,111 --> 07:31:37,361
projects up here

12812
07:31:39,977 --> 07:31:40,227
now the apprenticeship program

12813
07:31:41,744 --> 07:31:41,994
normally runs about150

12814
07:31:43,477 --> 07:31:43,727
apprentices they're currently

12815
07:31:45,511 --> 07:31:45,761
above500 and they said they're

12816
07:31:47,744 --> 07:31:47,994
on their way to1200 and they

12817
07:31:49,511 --> 07:31:49,761
only take on those apprentices

12818
07:31:50,477 --> 07:31:50,727
if they see the the path for

12819
07:31:51,777 --> 07:31:52,027
them to complete that

12820
07:31:53,544 --> 07:31:53,794
apprenticeship and that's what

12821
07:31:54,144 --> 07:31:54,394
they're seeing with this

12822
07:31:55,777 --> 07:31:56,027
development. one of the things

12823
07:31:57,511 --> 07:31:57,761
that's really unique about these

12824
07:31:58,144 --> 07:31:58,394
developments is they're long

12825
07:31:59,744 --> 07:31:59,994
duration each building may only

12826
07:32:02,011 --> 07:32:02,261
take18 to 24 months to build but

12827
07:32:03,744 --> 07:32:03,994
a campus built out typically

12828
07:32:05,511 --> 07:32:05,761
lasts7 to10 years some in some

12829
07:32:07,677 --> 07:32:07,927
cases 20 years and that provides

12830
07:32:08,344 --> 07:32:08,594
a unique opportunity for the

12831
07:32:10,011 --> 07:32:10,261
construction trades it gives

12832
07:32:12,244 --> 07:32:12,494
them stability and longevity it

12833
07:32:13,977 --> 07:32:14,227
allows them to really settle

12834
07:32:15,977 --> 07:32:16,227
into the communities which is

12835
07:32:19,477 --> 07:32:19,727
pretty unique for for the

12836
07:32:20,211 --> 07:32:20,461
construction industry and the

12837
07:32:21,511 --> 07:32:21,761
last thing that we would want to

12838
07:32:22,277 --> 07:32:22,527
see is this prosperity grind to

12839
07:32:24,011 --> 07:32:24,261
a halt. There was some

12840
07:32:25,777 --> 07:32:26,027
discussion of revenue at the end

12841
07:32:27,477 --> 07:32:27,727
the latest groundbreaking that

12842
07:32:28,244 --> 07:32:28,494
we had announced that they were

12843
07:32:30,011 --> 07:32:30,261
spending10 billion dollars to

12844
07:32:31,477 --> 07:32:31,727
build the two buildings that

12845
07:32:32,277 --> 07:32:32,527
they they were breaking ground

12846
07:32:33,777 --> 07:32:34,027
on that would take 1000

12847
07:32:35,744 --> 07:32:35,994
construction jobs and 230

12848
07:32:37,677 --> 07:32:37,927
permanent jobs averaging six

12849
07:32:38,244 --> 07:32:38,494
figures in

12850
07:32:38,844 --> 07:32:39,094
compensation

12851
07:32:41,477 --> 07:32:41,727
the tenants were then going

12852
07:32:43,477 --> 07:32:43,727
to bring in30 billion dollars

12853
07:32:45,711 --> 07:32:45,961
worth of equipment that alone

12854
07:32:47,977 --> 07:32:48,227
even with abatements in place

12855
07:32:49,477 --> 07:32:49,727
accounts for hundreds of

12856
07:32:50,211 --> 07:32:50,461
millions in sales tax to the

12857
07:32:51,644 --> 07:32:51,894
general fund and so

12858
07:32:54,244 --> 07:32:54,494
that's just one of the projects

12859
07:32:56,211 --> 07:32:56,461
a large one to be sure of

12860
07:32:58,244 --> 07:32:58,494
probably half dozen that we have

12861
07:33:00,011 --> 07:33:00,261
happening in our countyway we

12862
07:33:01,744 --> 07:33:01,994
look forward to engaging to find

12863
07:33:03,511 --> 07:33:03,761
the right path forward to make

12864
07:33:04,111 --> 07:33:04,361
sure that our citizens are

12865
07:33:06,277 --> 07:33:06,527
protected but that this kind

12866
07:33:08,344 --> 07:33:08,594
of prosperity for our workers

12867
07:33:09,011 --> 07:33:09,261
does not end thank you
