Senate RESOLUTION—Designating certain members of the Senate as regular and alternate members of the Legislative Commission.

 

1-1     Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, That pursuant to

1-2  the provisions of NRS 218.660 and the Joint Rules of the Legislature,

1-3  Senators Mark A. James, Mark Amodei, Maurice E. Washington, Michael

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

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

1-6  further

1-7     Resolved, That Senators William R. O’Donnell and Ann O’Connell

1-8  are designated as the first and second alternate members, respectively, for

1-9  Senator Mark A. James; Senators Lawrence E. Jacobsen and Mike

1-10  McGinness are designated as the first and second alternate members,

1-11  respectively, for Senator Mark Amodei; and Senators Randolph J.

1-12  Townsend and Dean A. Rhoads are designated as the first and second

1-13  alternate members, respectively, for Senator Maurice E. Washington; and

1-14  be it further

1-15     Resolved, That Senators Terry Care and Maggie Carlton are

1-16  designated as the first and second alternate members, respectively, for

1-17  Senators Michael A. Schneider, Valerie Wiener and Alice Costandina

1-18  Titus; and be it further

1-19     Resolved, That the procedure for requesting an alternate member to

1-20  replace a regular member during his absence at a meeting, must be as

1-21  follows:

1-22    1.  The Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall establish a

1-23  record of service of alternate members at meetings of the Legislative

1-24  Commission, and shall maintain a list of the alternate members for each

1-25  individual Senator or group of Senators. Each list must contain a numerical

1-26  designation in ascending order for each alternate member on the list. The

1-27  initial sequence in which the alternate members must be listed must

1-28  correspond to their designation as alternates in this resolution.

2-1    2.  If a regular member of the Legislative Commission is unable to

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

2-3  the Legislative Commission, the Secretary shall request the alternate

2-4  member with the lowest numerical designation on the appropriate list to

2-5  replace the regular member at the meeting. If the alternate member does

2-6  not agree to serve, the Secretary shall make the same request of the

2-7  alternate member with the next higher numerical designation on the list,

2-8  and so on through the list until an alternate member agrees to replace the

2-9  regular member.

2-10    3.  An alternate member who agrees to replace a regular member at a

2-11  meeting of the Legislative Commission loses the numerical designation he

2-12  had on the appropriate list at the time he was requested to serve. The

2-13  Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall, when the alternate member

2-14  agrees to replace the regular member, assign to that alternate member the

2-15  highest numerical designation on the appropriate list. At the same time, the

2-16  Secretary shall also reduce by one the numerical designation in the

2-17  appropriate list to those alternate members who have higher numerical

2-18  designations in the appropriate list than the alternate member who has

2-19  agreed to serve.

2-20    4.  An alternate member who is requested to replace a regular member

2-21  at a meeting of the Legislative Commission, but who does not agree to

2-22  replace the regular member, does not lose the numerical designation he had

2-23  on the appropriate list at the time of the request.
