EXPLANATION – Matter in bolded italics is new; matter between brackets [omitted material] is material to be omitted.

 

AN ACT making an appropriation to Carson City for the establishment of housing in Carson City for persons returning to the community from institutional care; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

 

   Whereas, The State of Nevada values all residents for their many contributions to this state; and

   Whereas, It is a priority of the State of Nevada that all residents lead the most productive lives possible; and

   Whereas, One of the most important steps in supporting disenfranchised persons is to ensure that appropriate housing and support are available; and

   Whereas, The transition into a community is extremely difficult for those persons who have required residential care; and

   Whereas, Residents of Carson City and Douglas, Lyon, Storey and Churchill counties have limited resources and to date have not been able to provide adequate transitional housing for such persons who desire to become productive members of their communities; now, therefore,
