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.

NEWS Western Legislative Academy Western Legislative Academy 2011 WLA’ers Review History of Legislative Institutions When newer lawmakers gathered in Colorado Springs from October 3-6, 2011 for the 12th Western Legislative Academy, veteran WLA faculty member and Boise State University political science professor Gary Moncrief gave participants a lesson on the history of state legislatures. From the reapportionment revolution in the 1960s to the modernization movement of the 1970s to the growing careerism of the 1980s to the growing use of the initiative in the 1990s, Moncrief looked at the positive and negative changes over the last five decades. On the plus side, legislatures have become more representative, WLA’ers work on team building at the U.S. Air Force Academy better staffed and more equal to the executive branch. On the down side, legislatures have become itself creates an environment of short-term versus long-term limited by the use of initiatives and by term limits in several perspectives. The geographically-based nature of the American Western states. district system gives rise to more narrow outlooks. And growing partisanship results from a period when the two parties are very In the new millennium, Moncrief cites heightened partisanship competitive nationally and in many states. and fiscal stress as characteristics of state legislatures.

Las Vegas Review Journal Nevada Senate Vote Sends Yucca Mountain Resolution to Congress
Las Vegas Review Journal Nevada Senate vote sends Yucca Mountain resolution to Congress Posted at-- https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/2017-legislature/nevada-senate-vote-sends-yucca- mountain-resolution-to-congress/ Updated May 17, 2017 - 4:35 pm CARSON CITY — The Nevada Senate gave final legislative approval Wednesday to a resolution strongly opposing any attempts by Congress to make Yucca Mountain the nation’s high-level nuclear waste dump. Assembly Joint Resolution 10 was approved on a vote of 19-2, with Republicans Pete Goicoechea of Eureka and Don Gustavson of Sparks voting against it. Both lawmakers represent parts of rural Nye County where Yucca Mountain is located. Nye County officials support the nuclear waste project because of job creation potential. The resolution previously passed the Assembly 32-6 and will now go to Congress. “Real people have reasonable, real concerns about the transportation and storage of nuclear waste in Nevada,” Sen. Joe Hardy, a soft-spoken Boulder City Republican known for brevity said in an unusually lengthy floor speech. “In so many ways the Yucca Mountain project illustrates that perception is reality, thus it behooves us to be sure that the science of nuclear storage … is irrefutable,” he said. Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, was more succinct. “In 1987 Washington’s decision to select Yucca Mountain for a repository was an attempt to screw Nevada,” Roberson said, referencing a bill passed by Congress that year designating Yucca Mountain as the only site to be considered for the repository. The bill became known as the “Screw Nevada bill.” “Washington’s been trying to screw Nevada for the last 30 years,” Roberson said.
