The Democratic-controlled Legislature gets back to work on several progressive priorities on Monday, including expanded use of body cameras, increased contraceptive coverage and automatic voter registration. Here are some highlights from the agenda:

A closer look at the prisons budget

Tune in to the joint money committees at 8 a.m. to hear Nevada Department of Corrections director James Dzurenda present budgets for the state’s prisons. Gov. Brian Sandoval’s budget recommends about $767 million over the next two years to care for the more than 14,000 inmates in the system. The state wants to add 19 new correctional officer and correctional assistant positions and proposes sending 200 high-level gang members to out-of-state prisons as a way to handle overcrowding, allow for a remodeling project and to send “a message that troublemakers will be relocated to a destination where they have no standing,” according to an earlier budget presentation.

Guaranteeing no-copay birth control and removing religious exemption

Democratic Nevada lawmakers want to codify some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act in state law in case President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans make good on their promise to repeal Obamacare. AB249 would require all insurance plans approved by the state to cover birth control without a copay and without increasing a deductible. It would also remove an exemption that allows insurers to decline to cover contraceptives on religious grounds. Watch the discussion in the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee at 1 p.m. The Senate Health and Human Services Committee will also take up a similar bill, SB233, at a 3:30 p.m. meeting.

Body cameras for almost all police

Lawmakers want to build on their work last session, when they required all Nevada Highway Patrol officers to wear body cameras and provided nearly $1.3 million to fund the initiative. SB176 would require virtually all police officers who regularly interact with the public to wear body cameras. It would allow counties to fund the cameras by raising a surcharge that they impose on each phone line and typically reserve for improving the 911 system. Tune in to the Senate Government Affairs Committee at 1 p.m. for the hearing.

Automatic voter registration moving right along

A measure that would automatically register people to vote or update their registration data when they interact with the DMV is up for discussion at 3:30 p.m. in the Senate Legislative Operations and Elections Committee. IP1 came to the Legislature after supporters gathered more than 125,000 signatures on a petition, and it already passed the Assembly in a party line vote, with Republicans opposed. The clock is ticking on the measure — the Legislature has 40 days from the start of the session to act on the petition or it automatically goes to the voters in 2018. That means it now has 12 days to finish its work on the measure.
