1-4 Schneider, Valerie Wiener and Alice Costandina Titus are designated as the

1-5 regular Senate members of the Legislative Commission; and be it further

1-6 Resolved, That Senators William R. O’Donnell and Maurice E.

1-7 Washington are designated as the first and second alternate members,

1-8 respectively, for Senator Ann O’Connell; Senators Lawrence E. Jacobsen

1-9 and Mark Amodei are designated as the first and second alternate members,

1-10 respectively, for Senator Dean A. Rhoads; and Senators Mike McGinness

1-11 and Randolph J. Townsend are designated as the first and second alternate

1-12 members, respectively, for Senator Jon C. Porter; and be it further

1-13 Resolved, That Senators Terry Care and Maggie Carlton are

1-14 designated as the first and second alternate members, respectively, for

1-15 Senators Michael A. Schneider, Valerie Wiener and Alice Costandina

1-16 Titus; and be it further

1-17 Resolved, That the procedure for requesting an alternate member to

1-18 replace a regular member during his absence at a meeting, must be as

1-19 follows:

1-20 1. The Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall establish a record

1-21 of service of alternate members at meetings of the Legislative Commission,

1-22 and shall maintain a list of the alternate members for each individual

1-23 Senator or group of Senators. Each list must contain a numerical

1-24 designation in ascending order for each alternate member on the list. The

2-1 initial sequence in which the alternate members must be listed must

2-2 correspond to their designation as alternates in this resolution.

2-3 2. If a regular member of the Legislative Commission is unable to

2-4 attend a scheduled meeting of the commission, and notifies the Secretary of

2-5 the Legislative Commission, the Secretary shall request the alternate

2-6 member with the lowest numerical designation on the appropriate list to

2-7 replace the regular member at the meeting. If the alternate member does not

2-8 agree to serve, the Secretary shall make the same request of the alternate

2-9 member with the next higher numerical designation on the list, and so on

2-10 through the list until an alternate member agrees to replace the regular

2-11 member.

2-12 3. An alternate member who agrees to replace a regular member at a

2-13 meeting of the Legislative Commission loses the numerical designation he

2-14 had on the appropriate list at the time he was requested to serve. The

2-15 Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall, when the alternate member

2-16 agrees to replace the regular member, assign to that alternate member the

2-17 highest numerical designation on the appropriate list. At the same time, the

2-18 Secretary shall also reduce by one the numerical designation in the

2-19 appropriate list to those alternate members who have higher numerical

2-20 designations in the appropriate list than the alternate member who has

2-21 agreed to serve.

2-22 4. An alternate member who is requested to replace a regular member

2-23 at a meeting of the Legislative Commission, but who does not agree to

2-24 replace the regular member, does not lose the numerical designation he had

2-25 on the appropriate list at the time of the request.
