Powers Delegated to Local Governments (S.B. 264, sec. 8)

Summary

The Legislative Commission's Committee to Study Powers Delegated to Local Governments is charged with examining the structure, formation, functions, and powers of local governments in the State of Nevada. The study will, among other things: (1) discuss the feasibility of increasing the powers of local governments; (2) evaluate the fiscal impact to the State of making such changes; and (3) review the experiences of states that have rejected "Dillon's Rule" under which local governments are unable to exercise powers that are not expressly granted to them. Finally, the Committee will also consider recommendations made by the Interim Technical Advisory Committee for Intergovernmental Relations, which consists of six local government representatives and three representatives of State agencies.
