AB182: Making neon the official state element

A bill sponsored by Democratic Assembly member Sarah Peters proposes to designate neon as the official element of Nevada. Fifteen of her Assembly Democratic colleagues have also signed onto the legislation.

• Prohibits the Department of Taxation from requiring a marijuana business to obtain approval before using a logo, sign or advertisement
• Allows marijuana businesses to place ads at entertainment events if it is reasonably believed that fewer than 30 percent of the people who will attend are under 21 years old
• Requires marijuana businesses that advertise in mediums where it is expected that less than 30 percent of the audience is under 21 to maintain documentation explaining how they reasonably estimated the age of the audience
• Allows the department to impose a penalty of no more than $10,000 for violations of marijuana advertising law
• Requires people who work, volunteer or independently contract with marijuana establishments to be registered with the department and issued a marijuana establishment agent registration card, in line with what is currently required of individuals who work at medical marijuana businesses
• Expands grounds for revocation of either type of agent registration card to include being electronically recorded stealing marijuana, convicted of any crime involving the theft of marijuana, being electronically recorded consuming marijuana at a marijuana establishment, or intentionally submitting false documents to the state or local government

The bill will be heard in Assembly Judiciary at 9 a.m.

SB239: Bullying and cyberbullying at schools

This legislation, sponsored by Republican state Sen. Heidi Gansert, makes changes to existing law requiring investigations into reports of bullying or cyberbullying by a school administrator to be completed no less than two school days after the administrator receives a report or within three days if there are extenuating circumstances.

The bill would allow the administrator to extend the investigation with the consent of each reported victim, perpetrator or their parents and require the administrator to give priority to protecting a victim over the interest of an alleged perpetrator when taking actions to protect the safety of a victim.

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

AB129: Training for first responders about people with developmental disabilities

Assemblyman Mike Sprinkle, a paramedic and firefighter by trade, has sponsored a bill to require first responders to complete two hours of training about people with developmental disabilities before their initial licensure or certification and every two years after that. First responders who would have to complete such training include emergency medical technicians, advanced emergency medical technicians, paramedics and police officers.

The bill will be heard by the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee at 1:30 p.m.

SB198: Eligibility for children on Medicaid

This bill, sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Melanie Scheible, would require children to remain eligible for coverage under the state’s Medicaid program until 12 months after the last day of the month in which they are enrolled, they stop being a Nevada resident or until their 19th birthday.

It will be heard by the Senate Health and Human Services Committee at 4 p.m.

SB237: Election audits and cybersecurity

The Senate Legislative Operations and Elections Committee will hear the details of a bill, sponsored by the secretary of state’s office, that would require the secretary of state to adopt regulations for conducting audits to limit the risk of certifying an incorrect election outcome. Under the legislation, the secretary of state would be required to establish a pilot program for the audit in 2020, and, starting in 2022, county clerks would be required to conduct such audits prior to certifying the results of every election.

The legislation will also require county clerks, city clerks and their staffs involved in running elections to complete a cybersecurity training class approved by the secretary of state and to notify the secretary of state in the event of a confirmed or attempted election security attack. Counties and cities that use electronic rosters would also be required to complete a test of the roster to ensure its functionality before early voting.

The bill would also exempt any of the secretary of state’s records relating to election security and any signatures of a voter or candidate provided to the secretary of state, a county clerk or a city clerk from being considered a public record.

The legislation will be heard at 4 p.m.
