  • Review and Discussion Regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with Possible Direction to Staff. (For Possible Action)
    AGENDA ITEM# 12 SUN VALLEY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT DATE: 2-3-17 TO: Board of Trustees FROM: Darrin Price – General Manager SUBJECT: Review and discussion regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with possible direction to staff. (for possible action). Every two years the Nevada Legislature meets. 2017 is here and it’s that time again. In 2014, the District cancelled its Lobbying contract with Fred Hillerby. At that time the total expenses for the lobbying contract was $1,650.00 dollars a month year round (as to include committee meetings that can and do meet when the session is closed and networking). In February of 2015, the board unanimously approved the General Manager “to act in the lobbying capacity” for the District. Per this direction I have started to assemble a team to assist me with monitoring, tracking, networking, and attending sessions, committee meetings, and general networking to establish relationships with both legislators and their staff. I registered myself, Jennifer, and Maddy as paid lobbyist for this session. The cost to register is $300.00 dollars per person, a total of $900.00 dollars. As a registered lobbyist you can track 10 bills via NELLIS. NELLIS is the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System. It allows for PLT: What is Personalized Legislative Tracking (PLT)? · PLT allows you to subscribe to BDRs, bills, and budgets that are of interest to you, and subsequently tag and create notes on your subscriptions. · The advantage of PLT is that you will receive immediate notifications of hearings, a daily status notification, and have access to tailored, exportable reports for the subscriptions you have chosen to track.

  • Overview of Study Committee's Responsibilities and Duties
    COMMITTEE TO CONDUCT AN INTERIM STUDY OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR REAPPORTIONMENT AND REDISTRICTING IN THE STATE OF NEVADA Every 10 years, during the interim prior to each redistricting session, the Nevada Legislature conducts an interim study of the requirements for reapportionment and redistricting. This interim study “sets the stage” in advance of the redistricting session to ensure the Legislature is prepared to commence reapportionment and redistricting as soon as statewide data from the United States Census Bureau is received. Senate Concurrent Resolution 9 of the 2019 Legislative Session directs the Legislative Commission to conduct an interim study of requirements for the reapportionment and redistricting of election districts for Nevada’s members of the State Legislature, the United States House of Representatives, and the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The study must include: • An examination and monitoring of any redistricting systems established or recommended by the Nevada Legislature; • A review of pertinent case law; • A review of redistricting programs and plans used in other states; and • The continuation of Nevada’s participation in programs of the U.S. Census Bureau, including participation in the decennial census to ensure a complete and accurate count of all Nevadans. Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 218D.160, the committee may request five bill drafts. Pursuant to NRS 218E.205, the committee must complete its business no later than June 30, 2020. However, historically, this interim study committee has held meetings and made final recommendations after this deadline. It is anticipated that a request to extend beyond the June 30, 2020, deadline will be submitted to the Legislative Commission in the spring of 2020.
