As the clock continues to tick toward the deadline for first committee passage, Nevada lawmakers have scheduled another packed day of bill hearings.

On deck for Wednesday are bills that would automatically seal criminal history records, automatically restore the right to vote for formerly incarcerated people, dramatically overhaul public records laws and create a state board that would oversee and eventually be given the power to set upper limits on prescription drug prices.

As an indicator of the busy schedule, the Senate isn’t scheduled to meet in floor session until Friday and the Assembly will not hold a floor session until Monday, likely to give lawmakers time to hear as many bills as possible before next week’s deadline.

Here is what to watch for on Wednesday at the Legislature:

AB315: Automatic record-sealing & “Ban the Box”

Proposed by Democratic Assemblyman Alexander Assefa, this bill would automatically seal criminal history records for people who complete probation and are released from prison.

The bill, AB315, would remove current requirements that any previously incarcerated person apply to a court to seal their records and instead would make the process automatic. It also would expand the state’s current “ban the box” law prohibiting discrimination against an individual with a criminal history applying for a job, with certain exemptions, from public entities to all private employers in the state.

The bill also would require automatic record-sealing within 90 days for people arrested on most misdemeanor charges outside of battery, stalking or harassment, unless they were indicted or criminal complaints were filed.

It will be heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee at 8:00 a.m.

AB417: Criminal history of tenants

Landlords and property owners would be able to search the state’s criminal history database for any tenant or prospective tenant under this bill.

Proposed by the Assembly Committee on the Judiciary, AB417 would also authorize employment screening services to enter into similar contracts with the state to search criminal history databases for information on tenants.

The bill will be heard in committee at 8 a.m.

AB431: Automatic voting rights restoration

This bill, proposed by Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson, would restore to formerly incarcerated people the right to vote and serve on jury trials as soon as they are released from prison or discharged from parole or probation.

AB431 would also immediately restore the right to vote for anyone who has been discharged from probation or parole or released from prison prior to July 2019 if they have not already petitioned a court to restore their right to vote. It also restores the right to vote for individuals convicted of a felony in another state but have since completed probation or parole or have been released from prison, removing the requirement that their right to vote be restored under the laws of the state where the felony was committed.

It’ll be heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee at 8:00 a.m.

AB362: Confidential info for social workers, child welfare workers

Proposed by Democratic Assemblyman Ozzie Fumo, this bill would authorize any person who works as a social worker or in child welfare or child protection services to petition a court to keep their property and other public records confidential, as well as for the ability to display an alternative address on their driver’s license.

It’ll be heard in the Assembly Government Affairs committee at 8:30 a.m.

AB305: Pre-settlement funding regulation

Proposed by Democratic Assemblyman Edgar Flores, this bill would establish rules and regulations around people who lend money to individuals involved in a pending legal action in exchange for the right to receive part or all of the proceeds from damages or other monetary awards.

The bill would classify those individuals as “pre-settlement funding providers” and require them to register with the state’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions and prohibit them from entering into a transaction with a customer if the annual percentage rate charged is over 40 percent.

It’ll be heard in the Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee at 12:30 p.m.

AB303: Regulation of kratom products

Sponsored by Assembly Republican Leader Jim Wheeler, this bill would require the state pharmacy board to regulate and oversee the sale of kratom, a Southeast Asian tropical tree with leaves that contain psychotropic effects.

The bill would also prohibit the sale of kratom products to children under the age of 18, or to sell any kratom products that have been altered to become “injurious” to a consumer. It sets a $1,000 fine and separate civil penalty up to $1,000 for violations.

It’ll be heard in the Assembly Health and Human Services committee.

AB436: Removing marijuana convictions as prohibitive from childcare jobs

If approved, this bill by Democratic Assemblywoman Michelle Gorelow would allow individuals convicted of federal or state laws on marijuana possession, distribution or use to apply for licenses or certificates to operate a child care facility and other restricted occupations.

In total, AB436 would apply to any person convicted of a marijuana-related crime below the level of a felony. It would allow individuals to apply for jobs or certificates related to child care facilities, outdoor youth programs, seasonal or temporary recreation programs or certain medical facilities as temporary workers.

The bill will be heard in the Assembly Health and Human Services committee.

SB287: Public records law overhaul

Proposed by Democratic Sen. David Parks, this bill would make various changes to the state’s public records law including declaring it to be the legislative intent for access to public records be provided promptly.

In addition to changing various definitions, SB287 also would increase civil penalties for failing to comply with records requests, require that governments or public agencies give more specific dates as to when a request will be completed, and gives an actual, broad definition of “public record” that includes electronic records, calendars, metadata regardless of physical form as long as it was used “in connection with the transaction of official business or the provision of a public service.”

The bill also clarifies that government entities cannot charge requesters of a public record for overhead and labor related to a records request, and eliminates the ability for them to charge an additional fee when a records request requires “extraordinary” resources.

The bill will be heard in the Senate Government Affairs Committee at 1 p.m.

SB262: Asthma drug pricing transparency

Two years after Democratic Sen. Yvanna Cancela introduced and passed a landmark diabetes drug pricing transparency bill, she has introduced a bill that would apply the same standards toward drugs that treat asthma.

SB262 largely copies provisions of Cancela’s 2017 legislation on diabetes drug transparency, which requires the drug manufacturer to submit information to the state related to the cost of the pricing of the drug, and explain to the state whether the drug has undergone a substantial price increase in the past two years.

It’ll be heard in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee at 4 p.m.

SB378: Drug pricing board

Proposed by Democratic Sen. Yvanna Cancela, this measure would establish a statewide Prescription Drug Affordability Board, charged with identifying certain prescription drugs with pricing that creates challenges for insurers and patients and that would recommend an upper price and payment limit on the drug.

The bill lays out the structure, make-up and abilities of the board, funded by taxes on prescription drug manufacturers based on their market share and the required costs of the board. It also lays out a process for setting upper recommendations on prescription drug prices, including requiring the suggested limits become mandatory after 2024.

It’ll be heard in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee at 4 p.m.
