With less than a week to go before Nevada lawmakers reach the deadline for bills to move out of their house of origin, legislators hit the eye of the storm on Thursday with relatively few bills passed but the promise of hundreds more coming in the next few days.

Assembly and Senate members, while approving dozens of amendments and preparing scores of bills for future votes through multiple floor sessions, only voted out 10 measures on Thursday. All but one — raising minimum standards on car insurance policies — were approved unanimously.

Here are some highlights of bills that lawmakers passed on Thursday:

SB308: Raising car insurance minimums

Nevada drivers could see their minimum amounts of auto insurance increase under a proposal by Republican Sen. Becky Harris.

Under SB308, which passed 16-5 on Thursday, minimum auto insurance policies for Nevada drivers would be increased in the following ways:

• Bodily injury or death of one person in a crash from $15,000 to $25,000.
• Bodily injury or death of two or more people in a crash from $30,000 to $50,000.
• Injury or destruction of property in a crash from $10,000 to $20,000

Raising the insurance minimums would place Nevada above the national average, and similar to state such as Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming.

Five senators -- Democrats Mo Denis, Nicole Cannizzaro, Mark Manendo, Kelvin Atkinson and Republican Don Gustavson -- voted against the measure. Opponents of the bill said they were concerned that poorer drivers — roughly 31 percent of auto insurance policy holders are on the minimum level —  wouldn’t be able to afford more expensive insurance policies.

SB20: Testing teachers on constitutional law

A measure designed to make it easier for out-of-state teachers to work in Nevada without immediately being tested on state constitutional knowledge was unanimously approved by senators on Thursday.

SB20 would remove requirements that teacher licensure exams test applicants on U.S. and state constitutions as well as Nevada law, and implement a one-year grace period for them to complete training in those subject areas. The bill wouldn’t apply to substitute teachers, and would give teachers with conditional licenses two full years to complete the training.

Democratic Sen. Mo Denis said the bill wasn’t designed to lower standards for teachers, but to give out-of-state applicants an easier way into the system.

SB399: Tribal identification cards

Republican Sen. James Settelmeyer’s bill to authorize state and local government entities to accept a tribal identification card as a form of identification cleared the Senate in a unanimous vote on Thursday.

Additionally, the bill prohibits businesses that accept a driver’s license or identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles from refusing to accept a tribal identification card for the same purpose.

SB371: Animals impounded by the county

A bill regarding how a county must handle impounded animals passed the Senate in a unanimous vote on Thursday.

The legislation, sponsored by Republican Sen. Pete Goicoechea, provides that if a person is lawfully arrested or detained in a county for more than seven days and the county impounds an animal owned or possessed by the person, the county must notify the person of the impoundment and request they provide the name of a person authorized to care for the animal, transfer the animal to the person or put the animal up for adoption, if the county is unable to transfer the person to the designated person.

The bill also authorizes the county to bring appropriate legal action to recover reasonable cost of care and shelter of the animal.
