Committee advances several transportation and utility bills; votes at a glance
The Assembly Committee on Growth and Infrastructure completed a work session on several bills after a series of short presentations by nonpartisan staff. Most measures were advanced with motions to do pass or to amend and do pass; one (Senate Bill 417) was re‑referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Votes at a glance (committee action and any amendment/referral recorded in the committee transcript):

- SB80 — Motor vehicle provisions (Department of Motor Vehicles sponsor). Committee considered conceptual amendments; motion carried to amend and do pass.
- SB91 — DMV records (diacritical marks effective date). Motion to amend and do pass carried; floor statement assigned.
- SB113 — Parking privileges for persons with disabilities. Motion to do pass carried.
- SB194 — Short‑term passenger car lease provisions. Motion to do pass carried.
- SB291 — DMV procedures for identity‑theft victims to obtain new driverʼs license numbers. Motion to do pass carried.
- SB326 — Public utilities reporting to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada. Motion to do pass carried.
- SB417 — Natural gas utilities and alternative rate making. Committee voted to amend and re‑refer SB417 to the Committee on Ways and Means.
- SB440 — Electricity, distributed generation and net metering rules (solar installation company licensing provisions). Motion to amend and do pass carried.

Nonpartisan staff from the Legislative Counsel Bureau summarized language and conceptual amendments on multiple measures; staff repeatedly reminded the committee that, as nonpartisan staff, they could not advocate for or against the bills. Vice Chair Carter frequently moved measures; many motions carried with no extended debate. The committee also waived the standard 24‑hour rule on several items to permit immediate work‑session action.

The committee assigned floor statements and advanced all the bills listed above for further action on the Assembly floor or referral as noted. Members and staff flagged fiscal notes on a subset of measures (notably SB417 and those with DMV impacts) and noted some bills had multiple fiscal scenarios.
