NELIS source: Bennett's NELIS exhibit on SB415 is filed as 'SB415_Conceptual Amendment_Andrew Bennett_Chair_NVACTS' at the Senate Growth and Infrastructure hearing of March 31, 2025. NELIS does not classify this as Support / Opposition / Neutral testimony — it is an amendment exhibit. The classification 'Presented Conceptual Amendment' matches NELIS verbatim and replaces the prior secondary-source 'Support / presented amended language' wording.
