The two ballot
questions below were authorized by the Nevada Legislature for
placement on the November 2, 2004, general election ballot.
Assembly Bill No. 514 of the 72nd Session proposes to revise the
exemption from the tax for the sale or use of used vehicles; to
provide exemptions from the tax for the sale or use of prescription
ophthalmic and ocular devices and appliances, farm machinery and other
agricultural equipment, works of fine art for public display, and
professional racing vehicles and parts; and to revise the exemption
from the tax on the sale or use of aircraft and parts of aircraft used
by commercial air carriers. All amendments to the
Sales and Use Tax Act of 1955 must be approved through a vote of the
people.
Assembly Joint
Resolution No. 3 of the 71st Session proposes to amend the Nevada
Constitution to change the provision that prohibits an “idiot or
insane person” from voting to refer instead to “a person who has been
adjudicated mentally incompetent, unless restored to legal capacity”
and to repeal a provision relating to the election of United States
Senators by the Legislature that was made obsolete by the adoption of
the 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
All amendments to the
Nevada Constitution which are proposed by the Nevada Legislature must
be approved in identical form in two successive sessions of the
Legislature and then approved by the voters at the next general
election. |
