Lawmakers will discuss mandating libraries in every school, bills to implement automatic voter registration and ending the statute of limitations on sexual assault when there’s DNA evidence of the crime.

They’ll also work on bills that would make schools report more frequently to the state about suicide and suicide prevention training.

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

Budget closings

Budget subcommittees are scheduled to continue their work closing budgets of state agencies on Friday, including the Department of Administration’s Information Technology department and Department of Health and Human Services’ Director’s office.

AB142: Sexual assault statute of limitations

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider AB142, which would remove the statute of limitations on prosecuting sexual assault if there’s DNA evidence of the crime.

They’ll also vote on several bills including AB482, which requires a person who wants to officiate marriages to take a training course and pay a fee if established by the county.

The committee meets at 8 a.m.

AB114, AB261: Preventing suicide, child abuse

Members of the Senate Education Committee will review AB113, which requires school boards to report to the state their suicide prevention efforts as well as incidents of suicide and attempted suicide.

They’ll also review AB261, which requires districts to report to the state about training on personal safety and sexual abuse of children.

The committee meets 20 minutes after the adjournment of the Senate floor session.

SB191: Mandated school libraries

Sponsored by Democratic Sen. Joyce Woodhouse, this bill would require every public and most charter schools in the state to maintain a school library and employ a “teacher librarian.”

The bill, which passed out of the Senate Education Committee earlier in April, exempts charter schools with fewer than 500 students and allows schools to either jointly employ a teacher librarian or apply for a waiver from the state Board of Education if the school is located outside of Washoe and Clark Counties.

The measure is up for a hearing in the Senate Finance Committee.

AB397: Impeaching government officials

The Senate Government Affairs Committee will review AB397, which authorizes the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to recommend a public official’s impeachment to the Nevada Assembly if the commission determines the official has committed an unlawful act of sexual harassment severe enough to warrant removal.

The committee meets at 1 p.m.

Budget implementation bills

A handful of budget implementation bills are up in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee on Friday. Two of them would make appropriations to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Secretary of State for the implementation of the Automatic Voter Registration Initiative.

The committee will meet at 4 p.m.

SB366: Allowing dental therapists to practice in Nevada

Sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Julia Ratti, this bill would create a new, mid-level dental provider type akin to advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants in the medical field. The new providers, known as dental therapists, would be able to perform more tasks than dental hygienists but fewer than dentists.

Dentists have raised concerns that dental therapists won’t have enough training to carry out those extra responsibilities, though the bill requires two years of dental therapy training on top of being a dental hygienist in addition to a certain amount of clinical experience.

The bill will be up for a hearing in the Senate Finance Committee, which will meet upon conclusion of the Senate Education Committee.
