Nevada panel defers Sparks Mental Health audit request
The Nevada Legislative Commission bypassed an audit proposal for the Sparks Mental Health Institute amid claims of patient neglect. Assemblyman Dini sought a financial check on funding and staffing, but Assemblyman Mello said issues were not financial. A separate Reno protest questioned patient deaths and mistreatment, which the state denies. The panel also formed a 17 member advisory group on sexual discrimination laws and rejected a study on staff needs and salaries. The commission approved supporting Gov. O'Callaghan to trim aging council expenses and reallocate about 200000 dollars to elderly programs, with a public hearing on funding canceled. The panel received a report showing a 50000 dollar overrun for the last fiscal year due to a longer session, with calls for post budget spending review.
