     “Sec. 14.  NRS 284.3775 is hereby amended to read as follows:

     284.3775  1.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, employees of the supreme court, employees in the unclassified service of the executive branch of the government of the State of Nevada, or employees of the legislative branch of the government of the State of Nevada who have served for 4 consecutive months or more are entitled to transfer to a position having similar duties and compensation in the classified service of the state on the same basis as employees may transfer within the classified service from a position under one appointing authority to a position under another appointing authority. The benefit conferred by this subsection includes any exemption from the taking of a competitive examination, retention of credits for annual and sick leave and longevity, and priority on the lists of eligible persons to the extent that such privileges are accorded to employees transferring within the classified service.

     2.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the benefits conferred by subsection 1 do not apply to an employee in the unclassified service who is the chief officer of a department or division.

     3.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and subsection 4, a person may not transfer pursuant to subsection 1 to a class composed of:

     (a) Professionally qualified persons; or

     (b) Officers and administrators who set broad policies and exercise responsibility for the execution of those policies.

FLUSH
 
A person may transfer to a class described in paragraph (a) or (b) if that class is provided for pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 284.155.

     4.  The restrictions provided in subsections 2 and 3 do not apply to an employee of the supreme court, an employee in the unclassified service of the executive branch of government or an employee of the legislative branch of government whose appointment to that position was immediately preceded by an appointment in the classified service, except that such an employee may only transfer to a position in the classified service that has duties and compensation that are similar either to his current position or to a position he previously held in the classified service.

     5.  An employee in the classified service of the state who is granted leave without pay to accept a position in the legislative branch of government during a regular or special session:

     (a) Is entitled to be restored to his previous position in the classified service upon the completion of the legislative session without loss of seniority or benefits. Seniority must be calculated as if he had not taken the leave.

     (b) Is eligible to fill vacancies in positions within the classified service to the extent that he would be eligible if he was not on leave from his position in the classified service.

     6.  An employee of the legislative branch of the government of the State of Nevada who is employed at the conclusion of a regular session of the legislature and is eligible at that time pursuant to subsection 1 to transfer to a position having similar duties and compensation in the classified service of the state may transfer to such a position on or before November 1 following session notwithstanding the termination of his employment with the legislative branch of government before that date. For the purposes of this section, the weekly compensation of a person paid a daily salary during a legislative session is seven times the daily salary.”.

     Amend the bill as a whole renumbering sec. 17 as sec. 19 and adding a new section, designated sec. 18, following sec. 16, to read as follows:

     “Sec. 18.  1.  The legislative commission shall review each legislative committee created by statute to determine whether:

     (a) There is a need to continue the existence of the committee;

     (b) The committee should be eliminated; or

     (c) The committee should be scheduled for elimination at a future date.

FLUSH
 
The legislative commission shall conduct the review without appointing a subcommittee.

     2.  The legislative commission shall report the results of its review and any recommendations for legislation to the 72nd session of the Nevada legislature.”.
