One and three-day tuitions are available, and information can be found on the Nevada Cyber Crime Task Force website at cybercrime.state.nv.us, or by calling (775) 688-1813. The conference is geared towards law enforcement and prosecutors, but is also open to business people and the general public. The Nevada Cyber Crime Task Force, housed within the Attorney General’s Office, was created following the passage of the Omnibus High Technology Crime Bill during the 1999 Legislative session. Training for law enforcement, businesses and the general public is one of the main goals of the Task Force, which includes federal, state and local agencies that offer training on detecting and combating crimes involving computers, along with providing expertise to Nevada law enforcement in computer crime analysis. According to Tara Shepperson, Executive Director of the Nevada Cyber Crime Task Force, “The increased use of computers and devises such as cell phones and computerized personal diaries has raised challenges for law enforcement. Often, evidence of a crime may not be found on paper or in file cabinets. Rather, law enforcement must enter the virtual electronic environment of the Internet and computer files to retrieve information.” --more-- Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, whose office sponsored Senate Bill 485, the Omnibus High Technology Crime Bill, said, “Everyone associated with the prosecution of high tech crimes will need to better understand how the technology works and is evolving. The Mesquite conference will be a great learning tool for law enforcement and prosecutors in the battle to stay ahead of those who would use computers illegally.” The Cyber Crime Conference is being co-sponsored by the Nevada Prosecution Advisory Council. For more information about the conference or the Task Force please call Tara Shepperson at (775) 688-1869. ### STATE OF NEVADA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 100 N. Carson Street Carson City, Nevada 89701-4717 FRANKIE SUE DEL PAPA Telephone (775) 684-1100 THOMAS M. PATTON Attorney General Fax (775) 684-1108 First Assistant Attorney General WEBSITE: http://ag.state.nv.us E-Mail: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Steve George January 26, 2001 (775) 684-1114 ATTORNEY GENERAL WARNS OF SCAM POPPING UP ACROSS NEVADA ONCE AGAIN Carson City--Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa is warning Nevadans to be on the alert concerning an age-old, worldwide scam involving a group referring to themselves as representing the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Finance, Foreign Contract Department. Del Papa said her office has received recent copies of transmittals from concerned citizens about the scam which, unfortunately, many people have fallen prey to in the past. A message sent via fax machine or letter to scores of people around the world states that the group is secretly contacting you about a large sum of money ($96,000,000) that you can lay a 30% claim to, if you send the group your bank and residential information. In fact, what happens is that victims who fall prey to this “get rich quick” scam have their bank accounts wiped out. Although it is illegal in Nevada (NRS 207.325) to make or cause to be made an unsolicited electronic or telephone transmission to a fax machine to solicit a person to purchase real property, goods or services, it is almost impossible to stop this type of activity. “Unfortunately, Nigerian government officials have not been cooperative with law enforcement agencies throughout the world in putting a stop to this illegal scam,” Del Papa said. “Nevadans should beware of this decades-old scam, as they should any so-called deal that sounds too good to be true.” Key signals to look for when confronted by an offer such as this are: • A stranger contacts you via mail, telephone, fax or email offering to share a large amount of money with you. • The stranger is usually someone from out of state or out of the country. --more— • The stranger tells you that little or no effort is required on your part to collect the money. • The stranger tells you that you must first send him money before you can collect. • The stranger tells you that secrecy is important. Complaints regarding this scam should be directed to: U.S. Secret Service Office 600 South Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89101 (702) 388-6571 If you believe someone may be perpetrating consumer fraud in Nevada, call the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection in Las Vegas at (702) 486-3420; in Reno at (775) 688-1818; or in Carson City at (775) 687-6300.

Beginning in May 1994, multiple antitrust actions were filed against more than 30 NASDAQ market makers, alleging that the defendants conspired to increase and fix the spreads paid by investors in connection with the purchases and sales of securities. This practice allegedly caused investors to pay excessive transaction costs for purchases and sales of certain securities. Nevada’s participation resulted in the award to PERS, of which PERS Investment Officer Laura Wallace stated, “We sincerely appreciate the contribution of the Attorney General’s Office in assisting us in securing this settlement.” ### STATE OF NEVADA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUREAU OF CONSUMER PROTECTION 1000 East William Street, Suite 200 Carson City, Nevada 89701 Telephone (775) 687-6300 FRANKIE SUE DEL PAPA TIMOTHY D.

The topic is “Electric Utility Restructuring: What’s Really Happening Out There.” The training prepares AARP’s national staff and local volunteers to address federal and state legislative developments which may affect the budgets of AARP members nationwide. “I am pleased to be able to tell Nevada’s energy story and strategy to this group,” Hay said. “With so much attention being paid to the California energy crisis, this is an opportunity for Nevada to gain support for a proactive approach to improve our situation and perhaps help other states as they face these difficult issues.” “Concepts such as preserving ownership of our low-cost energy resources and using them to establish a Basic Affordability Rate for Nevada’s consumers are the types of approaches that my office is advocating. Attorney General Del Papa views the western energy issues as some of the most difficult our region has faced and a proper approach to them will be critical to the lives of our citizens – especially seniors – and the continued health and development of our economy. She has asked my staff to devote all available resources to these efforts at this critical time, including a strong emphasis on developing Nevada’s abundant renewable energy resources and assistance to those consumers who simply cannot afford the rapid rise in energy prices we are now experiencing.” Hay served as a member of Governor Kenny Guinn’s energy policy committee that recently submitted recommendations to the Governor on energy issues. ### "Protecting Citizens, Solving Problems, Making Government Work" STATE OF NEVADA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUREAU OF CONSUMER PROTECTION 1000 East William Street, Suite 200 Carson City, Nevada 89701 Telephone (775) 687-6300 FRANKIE SUE DEL PAPA TIMOTHY D.

    173-14 Annual Report Fiscal Year 2014 July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 State of Nevada Office of State Treasurer Kate Marshall OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER September 28, 2014 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 2014 (FY14). As we began the process of updating what will be my final Annual Report as State Treasurer, I couldn’t help but think about what we have accomplished during my eight years in office. I am extremely proud of the many programs we have instituted that are and will continue to make a significant difference in the lives of Nevadans, as well as the vast improvements we have incorporated that save taxpayer dollars while at the same time increasing efficiency. When I was first elected to office in 2006, I ran on a platform I called the “Marshall Plan,” which included seven main points. The basic tenets were simple: improve and implement programs that would save taxpayer dollars; reduce spending by becoming more efficient; and identify innovative methods for increasing economic development in our state. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction that with the help of my staff and many partners, we have been able to fulfill the basic tenets I laid out nearly eight years ago. As administrator of the Nevada College Savings Plans, I am enormously satisfied to report that during my term, the number of Nevadans saving for college through the establishment of 529 accounts has risen by 52%.

  • Attorney General/1997 News Release
    STATE OF NEVADA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Protecting Citizens, Solving Problems, Making Government Work June 25, 1997 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Bob Harmon (702) 687-3512 DEL PAPA CALLS SUPREME COURT RULING VICTORY FOR NEVADA'S PRISONS Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa said she is extremely pleased with this morning's United States Supreme Court ruling on the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). "I feel this ruling is a victory in the battle which Senator Reid and I have fought for more than five years due to the statute's adverse impact on our prison system," Del Papa said. "Since RFRA was passed by Congress in 1993, our prison systems have been inundated with often unreasonable, frivolous demands and lawsuits from inmates who claim they are entitled to special privileges for religious purposes." The Court's ruling in support of the Petitioners in City of Boerne v. Texas, finds that RFRA is far too sweeping in its requirements. RFRA, as it was enacted by Congress, allowed virtually any law to be subject to challenge by any person at any time who claimed an entitlement to special treatment on religious grounds. As a result state prisons could be improperly compelled to accede to unreasonable requests from inmates. By a 6-3 vote, the Court concluded that RFRA exceeded Congress' power under Section 5 of the 14th amendment. Attorney General Del Papa and Sen. Harry Reid are recognized as leaders in the nationwide effort to exempt prison inmates from the requirements of RFRA. "In our own prison system inmates have demanded the state provide them with such items as hate literature, pornographic materials and the right to hold secret group ceremonies.
