  • Question 1: Marsy's
    VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE Question 1: Marsy’s Law Executive Summary This Voter Guide provides information on Question 1: Marsy’s Law, which will be considered by voters on November 6, 2018. A “yes” vote is a vote to approve the measure, which would amend the Nevada Constitution to remove current provisions for victims’ rights and replace them with a new “victims’ bill of rights.” A “no” vote is a vote to reject the ballot measure that would leave the current provisions for victims’ rights in the Nevada Constitution. Our intent, in the pages that follow, is to summarize the arguments for and against the measure and to answer questions voters may have. The following are the questions this Voter Guide addresses: 1) What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law? 2) Why is it coming before the voters? 3) What happens if Question 1 passes? 4) What happens if it fails to pass? 5) What are the primary arguments for Marsy’s Law? 6) What are the primary arguments against Marsy’s Law? 7) Can the Nevada Legislature make changes to Question 1 after it has been approved by voters? The Guinn Center will not take a position on Question 1: Marsy’s Law. 1 VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE 1. What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law? If approved by a majority of Nevada voters, Question 1 would amend the Nevada Constitution to include a “victims’ bill of rights,” known as “Marsy’s Law.” Specifically, it would repeal current victims’ rights provisions contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Nevada Constitution and replace those provisions with new rights that would be enumerated in Article

  • 2011 Annual Report Oooooovvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrvvvvvviiiiiieeeeeewwwwww
    Annual Report Fiscal Year 2011 July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER October 1, 2011 Dear Gov. Sandoval and Members of the Legislature: As required by NRS 226.120, it is my pleasure to present you with the State Treasurer’s Office Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11), an account of the operations of the Treasurer’s Office over the past fiscal year. For FY11, investment interest earnings on the state’s General Portfolio came in at $3.4 million. As of June 30, 2011, total assets under management carried a fair value of $2.99 billion. Our debt service payment reserves increased to 11 months, well above the standard “best practice” of six months of reserve. For FY11, the State Treasurer’s Office had an approved budget over all functional areas of $7,067,525; however, only $5,852,550 was expended, saving more than $1.2 million in taxpayer dollars. Further, only 18% of the total expenditures were paid for with General Fund appropriation, with the balance being funded by assessments and trust fund transfers, a further savings of taxpayer money. The Unclaimed Property Division had another banner year in FY11, with $114.5 million in collections and nearly $33 million returned to owners. In fact: collections from holders in FY11 were almost 290% above collections in 2005; individual claims paid have increased by 166% since 2005; and the dollar amount returned to rightful owners has increased by 300%. Further, as a direct result of expanded outreach and the adoption of “Best Practices,” the State Treasurer’s Office was able to transfer more than $83 million to the state General Fund to be used to support critical programs in the state at a time when budget restraints are extraordinary tight, the highest amount in the state’s history.
