Chap. 162An Act to empower the insurance commissioner to more fully carry out the provisions of the Nevada insurance code, and to make examinations of illicit companies and agents unauthorized to transact insurance business in the state, and to make an appropriation therefor to carry out the provisions of this act.
[Approved March 22, 1945]
Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the insurance commissioner that a considerable amount of unauthorized insurance business is being solicited in the state, particularly in border counties, which said insurance companies pay no premium tax or license or fees to the state; and Whereas, The insurance commissioner is willing and anxious to run down such insurance companies and agents, and bring all the proof to the attorney-general of Nevada, who has declared his willingness to proceed against such companies if the insurance commissioner would furnish him with sufficient data and facts upon which to base action against such insurance companies and agents; and |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 251 (CHAPTER 162, AB 183)κ
|
Whereas, The legislative session of 1943 did reduce the travel allowance for this biennium from eight hundred ($800) dollars to four hundred ($400) dollars; and Whereas, Such reduction in allowance is wholly inadequate to defray the expenses of running down such insurance companies and agents, resulting in a loss to the state of from twelve thousand five hundred ($12,500) dollars to sixteen thousand ($16,000) dollars per annum, or twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars to thirty-two thousand ($32,000) dollars for the biennium; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. The insurance commissioner is hereby empowered and directed to do all things necessary to prohibit the selling of insurance by unauthorized agents or companies in the State of Nevada. Sec. 2. The insurance commissioner of the State of Nevada is hereby empowered to expend the sum of twelve hundred ($1,200) dollars for the biennium ending June 30, 1947, as a travel allowance. Sec. 3.

[Approved March 22, 1945]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section 1 of the above-entitled act, being section 2825.41, 1929 N. C. L., 1941 Supp., is hereby amended to read as follows: |

Eight-hour day for female employees
Minimum wage four dollars per day, six days per week
Employees hired at less wage may invoke court action
Certain acts unlawful; proviso |
Section 1. That with respect to the employment of females in private employment in this state it is the sense of the legislature that the health and welfare of female persons required to earn their livings by their own endeavors require certain safeguards as to hours of service and compensation therefor. The health and welfare of the female workers of this state are of concern to the state and the wisdom of the ages dictates that reasonable hours, not to exceed eight (8) in any one day, and six (6) days in any calendar week, so as to provide a day of rest and recreation in each calendar week are necessary to such health and welfare, and, further, that compensation for the work and labor of female workers must be sufficient to maintain that health and welfare. The policy of this state is hereby declared to be that eight (8) hours in any one twenty-four (24) hour period and not more than forty-eight (48) hours in any one calendar week, and not more than six (6) days in any calendar week is the maximum number of hours and days female workers shall be employed in private employment, with certain exceptions in emergencies, and that no less than at the rate of fifty (50’) cents for one hour or four ($4) dollars for one day of eight (8) hours, or twenty-four ($24) dollars for one week of six (6) days of eight (8) hours each shall be paid such female workers in this state. Sec. 2. The above-entitled act shall be further amended by the addition of a new section to be known as section 1a. Section 1a.

Section 2.14. Wages means all remuneration payable for personal services, including commissions and bonuses and the cash value of all remunerations payable in any medium other than cash; provided, that the term wages shall not include: (1) That part of the remuneration which, after remuneration equal to three thousand dollars ($3,000) becomes payable to an individual by an employer with respect to employment during and for any calendar year, becomes payable to such individual by such employer with respect to employment during the calendar year 1945, and during each calendar year thereafter; (2) The amount of any payment with respect to services performed after July 1, 1941, to, or on behalf of, an individual in its employ under a plan or system established by an employing unit which makes provision for individuals in its employ generally or for a class or classes of such individuals (including any amount paid by an employing unit for insurance or annuities, or into a fund, to provide for such payment), on account of (a) retirement, or (b) sickness or accident disability, or (c) medical and hospitalization expenses, in connection with sickness or accident disability, or (d) death, provided an individual in its employ (i) has not the option to receive, instead of provision for such death benefit, any part of such payment, or, if such death benefit is insured, any part of the premiums, or contributions to premiums, paid by his employing unit, and (ii) have not the right, under the provisions of the plan or system, or policy of insurance providing for such death benefit, to assign such benefit, or to receive a cash consideration in lieu of such benefit upon either his withdrawal from the plan or system providing for such benefit or upon termination of such plan or system or policy of insurance or of his services with such employing unit;

An individuals weekly benefit amount mean the amount of benefit he would be entitled to receive for one week of total unemployment. Section 2.17. Duration of the war. This expression when used in this act shall and will mean that period of time beginning on December 8, 1941, and ending-for the purpose of this act-at such time as the governor by proclamation may declare that a state of war no longer exists. Sec. 2. Said act shall be further amended by adding thereto a new section to be known as section 2.18, which shall immediately follow section 2.17, and which shall read as follows: Section 2.18. Dependent means a wife, or a son or daughter of less than sixteen (16) years of age, who is not gainfully employed; or a husband, mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, brother, or sister, or a son or daughter, who because of age or disability is unable to work, and who is wholly or mainly supported by the individual receiving the benefit. |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 307 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
is wholly or mainly supported by the individual receiving the benefit. Sec. 3. Section 3 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 3. (a) Payment of Benefits. Twenty-four months after the date when contributions first accrue under this act, benefits shall become payable from the fund; provided, that wages earned for services performed in the employ of an employer, as defined in the railroad unemployment insurance act (52 Stat. 1094), shall not be included for purposes of determining eligibility under section 4(e), or total amount of benefits under subsection (e) of this section, with respect to any benefit year commencing on or after July 1, 1939, nor shall any benefits with respect to unemployment occurring on and after July 1, 1939, be payable on basis of such wages under the subsections of this section. All benefits shall be paid through employment offices in accordance with such regulations as the executive director may prescribe. (b) Weekly Benefit Amount. An individuals weekly benefit amount shall be an amount equal to one-twentieth of his total wages for employment by employers during that quarter of his base period in which such total wages were highest, but not more than eighteen dollars per week, nor less than eight dollars per week, and if not a multiple of $1 shall be computed to the next higher multiple of $1. (c) Weekly Benefit for Unemployment. Each eligible individual who is unemployed in any week shall be paid with respect to such week a benefit in an amount equal to his weekly benefit amount, less that part of the remuneration (if any) payable to him with respect to such week which is in excess of $3. Such benefit, if not a multiple of $1, shall be computed to the next higher multiple of $1. For the purpose of this subsection, no individual shall be deemed to be unemployed in any week in which he is self-employed for more than three days. (d) Dependency Allowances. Each eligible individual who is unemployed in any week shall be paid with respect to such week, and in addition to his weekly benefit for unemployment, a dependency allowance of three dollars for the first two dependents, and three dollars for one additional dependent, but not more than six dollars shall be paid to an individual as dependents allowance with respect to any one week of unemployment, nor shall the payment for benefit amount and dependents allowances combined exceed the sum of twenty-four dollars for any week, and no dependency allowances shall be paid to an individual or his wife living in the same household when both simultaneously are being paid unemployment benefits under this act. |

(e) Duration of Benefits. Any otherwise eligible individual shall be entitled during any benefit year to a total amount of benefits equal to whichever is the lesser of (1) twenty times his weekly benefit amount, or (2) one-third of the wages earned by him for employment by employers during his base period; provided, that such total amount of benefits if not a multiple of $1 shall be computed to the next higher multiple of $1. For the purposes of this section, and of section 4(e) hereof, wages shall be counted as wages for employment by employers for benefit purposes with respect to any benefit year only if such benefit year begins subsequent to the date on which the employer from whom such wages were earned has satisfied the conditions of section 2.8 or section 8(c) with respect to becoming an employer. (f) Protection of Fund. When, and if, the balance remaining in the unemployment compensation fund shall be reduced to not more than three million five hundred thousand dollars, the executive director shall protect the solvency of said fund by discontinuing the payment of dependents allowances, and reducing the maximum weekly benefit amount to fifteen dollars and the minimum weekly benefit amount to five dollars. Sec. 4. Section 4 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 4. An unemployed individual shall be eligible to receive benefits with respect to any week only if the executive director finds that- (a) He has registered for work at, and thereafter has continued to report at, an employment office in accordance with such regulations as the executive director may prescribe, except that the executive director may by regulation waive or alter either or both of the requirements of this subsection as to individuals attached to regular jobs and as to such other types of cases or situations with respect to which he finds that compliance with such requirements would be oppressive or inconsistent with the purposes of this act. (b) He has made a claim for benefits in accordance with the provisions of section 6(a) of this act. (c) He is able to work, and is available for work; provided, no claimant shall be considered ineligible in any week of unemployment for failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection, if such failure is due to an illness or disability which occurs after he has filed an initial claim for unemployment benefits, and no suitable work has been offered after the beginning of such illness or disability. (d) He has been unemployed for a waiting period of one week. No week shall be counted as a week of unemployment for the purposes of this subsection: (1) Unless it occurs within the benefit year which includes the week with respect to which he claims payment of benefits; |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 309 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
(2) If benefits have been paid or are payable with respect thereto; (3) Unless the individual was eligible for benefits with respect thereto as provided in sections 4 and 5 of this act, except for the requirements of this subsection and of subsection (e) of section 5. (e) He has, within his base period, earned wages of not less than $175 if the benefit amount be less than $8, or 25 times his weekly benefit amount if that weekly benefit amount be not less than $8 nor more than $12; or two times the product of his weekly benefit amount multiplied by itself if that weekly benefit amount be not less than $13 nor more than $15; or thirty times his weekly benefit amount if that weekly benefit amount be not less than $16 nor more than $18; and which wages shall include in any case wages of not less than five times his weekly benefit amount earned in some quarter within his base period other than the quarter upon which his weekly benefit amount is computed. For the purpose of this section wages shall be counted for benefit purposes with respect to any benefit year only if such benefit year began subsequent to the date on which the employer, from whom such wages were earned, has satisfied the conditions of section 8(c) or 2.8 with respect to becoming an employer. Sec. 5. Section 6 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 6. (a) Filing. Claims for benefits shall be made in accordance with such regulations as the executive director may prescribe, not inconsistent herewith. Each employer shall post and maintain in places readily accessible to individuals in his service a printed statement concerning such regulations or such other matters as the executive director may by regulation prescribe. Each employer shall supply to each individual in his service, at the time such individual becomes unemployed, copies of such printed statements or materials relating to claims for benefits or separation notices as the executive director may by regulation prescribe. Such printed statements or other material shall be supplied by the executive director to each employer without cost to said employer. (b) Initial Determination. Each claim shall be examined in accordance with such regulations as the executive director may prescribe, and on the basis of the facts found it shall be determined whether or not benefits are payable with respect to such claim, and, if payable, the week with respect to which benefits shall commence, the weekly benefit amount payable, and the maximum duration thereof; provided, that in any case where the payment or denial of benefits will be determined by the provisions of section 5(d) of the act, the findings of fact with respect to that subsection shall be transmitted to the executive director, who, on the basis of the evidence submitted and such additional evidence as he may require, shall make a determination as to whether benefits are payable, commencement of benefits, weekly benefit amount payable, and the maximum duration thereof. |

findings of fact with respect to that subsection shall be transmitted to the executive director, who, on the basis of the evidence submitted and such additional evidence as he may require, shall make a determination as to whether benefits are payable, commencement of benefits, weekly benefit amount payable, and the maximum duration thereof. Any determination rendered in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed an initial determination. Notice of any determination, together with the reasons therefor, shall be promptly given to the claimant; notice of any determination under which the claimant is held to be eligible for benefits or waiting period credit shall be given to the most recent employer, and may be given to such other parties as the executive director may by regulation prescribe. Within seven days after delivery of any determination, the claimant or such other party may file an appeal from such determination, and unless such appeal is filed as herein provided such determination shall be final and benefits shall be paid or denied in accordance therewith; provided, that if under the determination, benefits in any amount are payable as to which there is no dispute, such benefits shall be promptly paid regardless of such appeal. If an appeal is duly filed, benefits with respect to the period prior to the final decision of the board of review shall be paid only after such decision; provided, that if an appeal tribunal affirms the initial determination or amended decision, or the board of review affirms a decision of an appeal tribunal, allowing benefits, such benefits shall be paid regardless of any appeal which may thereafter be taken, but if such decision is finally reversed no employers account shall be charged with benefits so paid. When any request for adjustment as herein provided shall be filed, benefits shall be paid at the rate and in the amount determined by the initial determination, if such request for adjustment indicates that a higher amount or duration of benefits is payable, until such time as the amended decision shall be made. (1) Redeterminations. The executive director or a representative duly authorized to act in his behalf may at any time reopen any such determination on the grounds of fraud, error, mistake, or change of conditions, and may make a redetermination on such claim ending, diminishing, maintaining, or increasing benefits previously found payable, or a redetermination allowing benefits previously denied. Notice of such redetermination and the reason therefor shall be promptly given to the claimant and any other parties who were entitled to notice of the initial determination, and the claimant and such other parties shall be entitled to appeal in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as an appeal may be taken from an initial determination. |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 311 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
appeal may be taken from an initial determination. Accrued or potential (but unpaid) benefit rights during the succeeding 12-month period may be adjusted in and by such redetermination. (c) Appeals. Unless such appeal is withdrawn, an appeal tribunal, after affording the parties reasonable opportunity for fair hearing, shall affirm, reverse, or modify the determination. The parties shall be duly notified of such tribunals decision, together with its reasons therefor, which shall be deemed to be the final decision of the board of review, unless within ten days after the date of notification or mailing of such decision further appeal is initiated pursuant to subsection (e) of this section. (d) Appeal Tribunals. To hear and decide appealed claims, the board of review shall appoint one or more impartial appeal tribunals consisting in each case of either a salaried examiner, selected in accordance with section 4(d) of the employment security administration law (Statutes 1941, chapter 59), or a body consisting of three members, one of whom shall be a salaried examiner, and who shall serve as chairman, one of whom shall be a representative of employers and the other of whom shall be a representative of employees; each of the latter two members shall serve at the pleasure of the board of review and be paid a fee of not more than $10 per day of active service on such tribunal, plus necessary expenses. No person shall participate on behalf of the executive director or the board of review in any case in which he is an interested party. The board of review may designate alternatives to serve in the absence or disqualification of any member of an appeal tribunal. The chairman shall act alone in the absence or disqualification of any other member and his alternates. In no case shall the hearings proceed unless the chairman of the appeal tribunal is present. The executive director shall provide the board of review and such appeal tribunals with proper facilities and assistants for the execution of their functions. (e) Board of Review. The board of review may on its own motion affirm, reverse, modify, or set aside any decision of an appeal tribunal on the basis of the evidence previously submitted in such case, or direct the taking of additional evidence, or may permit any of the parties to such decision to initiate further appeals before it. The board of review shall permit such further appeal by any of the parties interested in a decision of an appeal tribunal which is not unanimous and by the deputy whose decision has been overruled or modified by an appeal tribunal. The board of review may remove to itself or transfer to another appeal tribunal the proceedings on any claim pending before an appeal tribunal. |

Any proceedings so removed to the board of review shall be heard by the board of review, or in the absence or disqualification of any partisan member by the impartial member acting alone in accordance with the requirements of subsection (c) of this section. The board of review shall promptly notify the parties to any proceedings before it of its findings and decision. (f) Procedure. The manner in which appealed claims shall be presented and the conduct of hearings and appeals shall be in accordance with regulations prescribed by the board of review for determining the rights of the parties, whether or not such regulations conform to common law or statutory rules of evidence and other technical rules of procedure. A full and complete record shall be kept of all proceedings in connection with an appealed claim. All testimony at any hearing upon an appealed claim shall be recorded, but need not be transcribed unless the appealed claim is further appealed. (g) Witness Fees. Witnesses subpenaed pursuant to this section shall be allowed fees at a rate fixed by the executive director. Such fees shall be deemed a part of the expenses of administering this act. (h) Appeal to Courts. Any decision of the board of review in the absence of an appeal therefrom as herein provided shall become final ten days after the date of notification or mailing thereof, and judicial review thereof shall be permitted only after any party claiming to be aggrieved thereby has exhausted his administrative remedies as provided by this act. The executive director shall be deemed to be a party to any judicial action involving any such decision, and may be represented in any such judicial action by any qualified attorney employed by the executive director and designated by him for that purpose, or at his request by the attorney-general. (i) Court Review. Within ten days after the decision of the board of review has become final, any party aggrieved thereby may secure judicial review thereof by commencing an action in the district court of the county wherein the appealed claim or claims were filed against the executive director for the review of such decisions, in which action any other party to the proceedings before the board of review shall be made a defendant. In such action, a petition which need not be verified, but which shall state the grounds upon which a review is sought, shall be served upon the executive director, or upon such person as he may designate, and such service shall be deemed completed service on all parties, but there shall be left with the party so served as many copies of the petition as there are defendants, and the executive director shall forthwith mail one such copy to each such defendant. |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 313 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
the petition as there are defendants, and the executive director shall forthwith mail one such copy to each such defendant. With his answer, the executive director shall certify and file with said court all documents and papers and a transcript of all testimony taken in the matter, together with the board of reviews findings of fact and decision therein. The executive director may also, in his discretion, certify to such court questions of law involved in any decision. In any judicial proceeding under this section, the findings of the board of review as to the facts, if supported by evidence and in the absence of fraud, shall be conclusive, and the jurisdiction of said court shall be confined to questions of law. Such actions, and the questions so certified, shall be heard in a summary manner and shall be given precedence over all other civil cases except cases arising under the workmens compensation law of this state. An appeal may be taken from the decision of such district court to the supreme court of Nevada, in the same manner, but not inconsistent with the provisions of this act, as is provided in civil cases. It shall not be necessary, in any judicial proceeding under this section, to enter exceptions to the rulings of the board of review, and no bond shall be required for entering such appeal. Upon the final determination of such judicial proceeding the board of review shall enter an order in accordance with such determination. A petition for judicial review shall not act as a supersedeas or stay unless the board of review shall so order. Sec. 6. Section 7 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 7. (a) Payment. (1) On and after January 1, 1937, contributions shall accrue and become payable by each employer for each calendar quarter in which he is subject to this act, with respect to wages payable for employment occurring during such calendar quarter. Such contributions shall become due and be paid by each employer to the executive director for the fund in accordance with such regulation as the executive director may prescribe, and shall not be deducted, in whole or in part, from the wages of individuals in such employers employ. (2) In the payment of any contributions, a fractional part of a cent shall be disregarded unless it amounts to one-half cent or more, in which case it shall be increased to one cent. (b) Rate of Contribution. Each employer shall pay contributions equal to the following percentages of wages payable by him with respect to employment: (1) One and eight-tenths per centum with respect to employment during the calendar year 1937; |

(2) With respect to employment after December 31, 1937, two and seven-tenths per centum, except as otherwise prescribed in subsection (c) of this section. (c) Future Rates Based on Benefit Experience. The executive director shall, for the period of six months commencing July 1, 1945, and for the calendar year commencing January 1, 1946, and for each calendar year thereafter, classify employers in accordance with their actual pay rolls, contribution, and benefit experience, and shall determine for each employer the rate of contribution which shall apply to him throughout the six-months period commencing July 1, 1945, and for each calendar year thereafter, in order to reflect said experience and classification. In making such classification, the executive director shall take account of the degree of unemployment hazard shown by each employers experience, and of any other measurable factors which he finds bear a reasonable relation to the purposes of this subsection. For the purpose of a study, benefits paid to an individual since January 1, 1939, shall be immediately charged against the accounts of his employers, and hereafter charged currently against his employers accounts; provided, however, no benefits paid to a claimant on the basis of credits retained on account of military service shall be charged against an employers accounts. Such rates shall be computed on the pay roll, contribution, and benefit experience of the employer for not less than thirty-six consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the computation date, which date shall be not more than twenty-seven weeks prior to the effective date of the new rate. He may apply such form of classification or rating system which in his judgment is best calculated to rate individually and most equitably the employment risk of each employer and to encourage the stabilization of employment. The general basis of classification proposed to be used for any calendar year shall be subject to fair notice, opportunity for hearing, and publication. The executive director shall determine the contribution rate applicable to each employer for any calendar year subject to the following limitations: (1) Each employers contribution rate shall be 2 7/10 per centum, unless and until there shall have been thirty-six (36) consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the computation date of the new rate, throughout which his account as an employer could have been charged with benefit payments. (2) Each employer eligible for a rate based upon experience and classified in accordance with this section shall be assigned a rate by the executive director according to the following classes: Class 1, 1 per centum; class 2, 1.5 per centum; class 3, 2.0 per centum; class 4, 2.4 per centum; |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 315 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
class 5, 2.7 per centum; class 6, 3.0 per centum; class 7, 3.5 per centum; class 8, 4.0 per centum; class 9, 4.5 per centum. No employers rate shall be varied below the 2.7 per centum rate unless, as of the preceding January 1, the total amount available for benefits in the Nevada unemployment compensation fund equals or exceeds 1.5 per centum of the total pay rolls subject to contributions under the Nevada unemployment compensation laws for the five consecutive calendar-year period ending on the above date. As used in this section the term annual pay roll means the total amount of wages payable by an employer for employment during a year, regardless of the time of payment. Sec. 7. Section 8 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 8. (a) Any employing unit which becomes an employer subject to this act within any calendar quarter shall be subject to this act from the beginning of that quarter. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section an employing unit shall cease to be an employer subject to this act at any time when it shall appear to the satisfaction of the executive director that during each of the four completed calendar quarters immediately preceding such finding, such employing unit had not employed in employment subject to this act, one or more persons in any calendar quarter wherein such employing unit had a pay roll of $225 or more. For the purposes of this subsection, the two or more employing units mentioned in paragraph (2) or (3) of section 2.8 shall be treated as a single employing unit. (c) (1) An employing unit, not otherwise subject to this act, which files with the executive director its written election to become an employer subject hereto for not less than two calendar years, shall, with the written approval of such election by the executive director, become an employer subject hereto to the same extent as all other employers, as of the date stated in such approval, and shall cease to be subject hereto as of January 1 of any calendar year subsequent to such two calendar years only if at least thirty days prior to such 1st day of January it has filed with the executive director a written notice to that effect. (2) Any employing unit for which services that do not constitute employment, as defined in this act, are performed, may file with the executive director a written election that all such services performed by individuals in its employ in one or more distinct establishments or places of business shall be deemed to constitute employment for all the purposes of this act for not less than two calendar years. Upon the written approval of such election by the executive director, such services shall be deemed to constitute employment subject to this act from and after the date stated in such approval. |

Such services shall cease to be deemed employment subject hereto as of January 1 of any calendar year subsequent to such two calendar years, only if at least thirty days prior to such 1st day of January such employing unit has filed with the executive director a written notice to that effect. (3) The governing board or officers of any department of the State of Nevada, or of any county, city, or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada, or of any instrumentality of any such department or political subdivision, may, by resolution of the majority of its members, elect to become an employer subject to this act for not less than two calendar years, and, upon filing certified copy of such resolution with the executive director and with his written approval, such department, political subdivision, or instrumentality shall become an employer subject hereto to the same extent as all other employers, as of the date stated in such approval, and shall cease to be subject hereto as of January 1 of any calendar year subsequent to such two calendar years only if at least thirty days prior to such first day of January it has filed with the executive director a written notice to that effect. Contributions paid by any such department, political subdivision, or instrumentality shall be a proper charge upon the funds of such department, political subdivision, or instrumentality. (4) The executive director may terminate the approval of the election of any such employer at any time upon thirty days written notice. Sec. 8. Section 9 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 9. (a) Establishment and Control. There is hereby established as a special fund, separate and apart from all public moneys or funds of this state, an unemployment compensation fund, which shall be administered by the executive director exclusively for the purposes of this act. This fund shall consist of (1) all contributions collected under this act; (2) interest earned upon any moneys in the fund; (3) any property or securities acquired through the use of moneys belonging to the fund; (4) all earnings of such property or securities; and (5) all other moneys received for the fund from any other source. All moneys in the fund shall be mingled and undivided. All fines and penalties collected pursuant to the criminal provisions of this act shall be paid to the Nevada state school fund. (b) Accounts and Deposits. The state treasurer shall be the treasurer and custodian of the fund who shall administer such fund in accordance with the directions of the executive director and shall issue his warrants upon it in accordance with such regulations as the executive director shall prescribe. |
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 317 (CHAPTER 187, SB 10)κ
|
such fund in accordance with the directions of the executive director and shall issue his warrants upon it in accordance with such regulations as the executive director shall prescribe. He shall maintain within the fund three separate accounts: (1) A clearing account, (2) an unemployment trust fund account, and (3) a benefit account. All moneys payable to the fund, upon receipt thereof by the executive director, shall be forwarded to the treasurer who shall immediately deposit them in the clearing account. Refunds payable pursuant to section 14 of this act may be paid from the clearing account or from the benefit account upon warrants issued by the treasurer under the direction of the executive director. After clearance thereof, all other moneys in the clearing account shall be immediately deposited with the secretary of the treasury of the United States of America to the credit of the account of this state in the unemployment trust fund, established and maintained pursuant to section 904 of the social security act, as amended, any provisions of law in this state relating to the deposit, administration, release, or disbursement of moneys in the possession or custody of this state to the contrary notwithstanding. The benefit account shall consist of all moneys requisitioned from this states account in the unemployment trust fund. Except as herein otherwise provided, moneys in the clearing and benefit accounts may be deposited by the treasurer, under the direction of the executive director, in any bank or public depositary in which general funds of the state may be deposited, but no public deposit insurance charge or premium shall be paid out of the fund. The treasurer shall give a separate bond conditioned upon the faithful performance of his duties as custodian of the fund in an amount fixed by the executive director and in a form prescribed by law or approved by the attorney-general. Premiums for said bond shall be paid from the administration fund. Moneys in the clearing and benefit accounts shall not be commingled with other state funds, but shall be maintained in a separate account on the books of the depositary. Such moneys shall be secured by said bank or public depositary to the same extent and in the same manner as required by the general depositary laws of the State of Nevada and collateral pledged shall be maintained in a separate custody account. All sums recovered on the official bond for losses sustained by the unemployment compensation fund shall be deposited in said fund. (c) Withdrawals. Moneys shall be requisitioned from this states account in the unemployment trust fund solely for the payment of benefits and refunds in accordance with regulations prescribed by the executive director. The executive director shall from time to time requisition from the unemployment trust fund such amounts, not exceeding the amounts standing to this states account therein, as he deems necessary for the payment of benefits for a reasonable future period. |

Expenditures of such moneys in the benefit account and refunds from the clearing account shall not be subject to any provisions of law requiring specific appropriations or other formal release by state officers of money in their custody. All warrants issued by the treasurer for the payment of benefits and refunds shall bear the signature of the treasurer and the counter-signature of the executive director, or his duly authorized agent for that purpose. Any balance of moneys requisitioned from the unemployment trust fund which remains unclaimed or unpaid in the benefit account after the expiration of the period for which such sums were requisitioned shall be either deducted from estimates for, and may be utilized for the payment of, benefits during succeeding periods, or in the discretion of the executive director shall be redeposited with the secretary of the treasury of the United States of America, to the credit of this states account in the unemployment trust fund, as provided in subsection (b) of this section. (d) Management of Funds Upon Discontinuance of Unemployment Trust Fund. The provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (c) to the extent that they relate to the unemployment trust fund, shall be operative only so long as such unemployment trust fund continues to exist and so long as the secretary of the treasury of the United States of America continues to maintain for this state a separate book account of all funds deposited therein by this state for benefit purposes, together with this states proportionate share of the earnings of such unemployment trust fund, from which no other state is permitted to make withdrawals. If and when such unemployment trust fund ceases to exist, or such separate book account is no longer maintained, all moneys, properties, or securities therein belonging to the unemployment compensation fund of this state, shall be transferred to the treasurer of the unemployment compensation fund, who shall hold, invest, transfer, sell, deposit, and release such moneys, properties, or securities in a manner approved by the executive director in accordance with the provisions of this act; provided, that such investment shall at all times be so made that all the assets of the fund shall always be readily convertible into cash when needed for the payment of benefits. The treasurer shall dispose of securities or other properties belonging to the unemployment compensation fund only under the direction of the executive director. |

(e) Notwithstanding any requirements of the foregoing subsections of this section, the executive director shall, prior to whichever is the later of (i) 30 days after the close of this session of the legislature and (ii) July 1, 1939, authorize and direct the secretary of the treasury of the United States to transfer from this states account in the unemployment trust fund, established and maintained pursuant to section 904 of the social security act, as amended, to the railroad unemployment insurance account, established and maintained pursuant to section 10 of the railroad unemployment insurance act, an amount hereinafter referred to as the preliminary amount and shall, prior to whichever is the later of (i) 30 days after the close of this session of the legislature and (ii) January 1, 1940, authorize and direct the secretary of the treasury of the United States to transfer from this states account in said unemployment trust fund to said railroad unemployment insurance account an additional amount, hereinafter referred to as the liquidating amount. Both such amounts shall be determined by the social security board, after agreement with the railroad retirement board, and after consultation with the executive director. The preliminary amount shall consist of that proportion of the balance in the unemployment compensation fund as of June 30, 1939, as the total amount of contributions collected from employers (as the term employer is defined in section 1 (a) of the railroad unemployment insurance act) and credited to the unemployment compensation fund bears to all contributions theretofore collected under this act and credited to the unemployment compensation fund. The liquidating amount shall consist of the total amount of contributions collected from employers (as the term employer is defined in section 1(a) of the railroad unemployment insurance act) pursuant to the provisions of this act during the period July 1, 1939, to December 31, 1939, inclusive. Sec. 9. The above-entitled act is further amended by adding thereto a new section to be known as section 13.1, which shall immediately follow section 13 of said act and shall read as follows: Section 13.1. Special Fund. There is hereby created in the state treasury a special fund to be known as employment security fund. All interest and forfeits collected under sections 14, 14.1 and 16(e) of this act shall be paid into this fund. All moneys which are deposited or paid into this fund are hereby appropriated and made available to the executive director of the Nevada employment security department. Said moneys shall not be expended or made available for expenditure in any manner which would permit their substitution for, or a corresponding reduction in, federal funds which would, in the absence of said moneys, be available to finance expenditures for the administration of the employment security laws of the State of Nevada. |

which would, in the absence of said moneys, be available to finance expenditures for the administration of the employment security laws of the State of Nevada. But nothing in this section shall prevent said moneys from being used as a revolving fund to cover expenditures, necessary and proper under the law, for which federal funds have been duly requested but not yet received, subject to the repayment to the fund of such expenditures when received. The moneys in this fund shall be used by the executive director for the payment of costs of administration which are found not to have been properly and validly chargeable against federal grants received for or in the unemployment compensation administration fund. All moneys in this fund shall be deposited, administered, and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions and requirements as is provided by law for other special funds in the state treasury. Any balances in this fund shall not lapse at any time, but shall be continuously available to the executive director for expenditure consistent with this act. Moneys in this fund shall not be commingled with other state funds, but shall be maintained in a separate account on the books of the depositary. Sec. 10. Section 14 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 14. (a) Past Due Contributions. When any contribution as provided in this act shall remain unpaid on the date on which it becomes due and payable, as prescribed by the executive director, it shall bear interest at the rate of one per centum for each month or portion of a month thereafter until such payment, plus accrued interest, is received by the executive director. Interest accrued under this subsection shall not be waived under any circumstances. Interest collected pursuant to this subsection shall be paid into the employment security fund. (b) Collection. (1) If, after due notice thereof, any employer defaults in any payment of contributions, interest or forfeit imposed under this act, the executive director, or his authorized representative, may collect the amount due by civil action brought in the name of the State of Nevada, in the district court, and which shall include the right of attachment. (2) In addition to or independently of the foregoing remedy by civil action, the executive director, or his authorized representative, after giving to any employer who defaults in any payment of contributions, interest or forfeit provided by this act, fifteen days notice by registered mail, addressed to his last known place of business or address, may file in the office of the clerk of the district court in the county in which the employer has his principal place of business, or if there be no such principal place of business, then in Ormsby County, a certificate which need not be verified, but which shall specify the amount of contribution, interest, and forfeit due, the name and last known place of business of the employer liable for the same, and which shall contain a statement that the unemployment compensation division has complied with all the provisions of this act in relation to the computation and levy of the contribution, together with the request that judgment be entered for the State of Nevada, and against the employer named, in the amount of the contribution, interest, and forfeit set forth in the certificate; provided, however, that the employer may, within said fifteen-day period, pay the amount specified in such notice, under protest, to the executive director, and shall thereupon have the right to initiate, within sixty days following such payment, and to maintain his action against the Nevada unemployment compensation division for a refund of all or any part of any such amount and to recover so much thereof as may have been erroneously assessed or paid. |

there be no such principal place of business, then in Ormsby County, a certificate which need not be verified, but which shall specify the amount of contribution, interest, and forfeit due, the name and last known place of business of the employer liable for the same, and which shall contain a statement that the unemployment compensation division has complied with all the provisions of this act in relation to the computation and levy of the contribution, together with the request that judgment be entered for the State of Nevada, and against the employer named, in the amount of the contribution, interest, and forfeit set forth in the certificate; provided, however, that the employer may, within said fifteen-day period, pay the amount specified in such notice, under protest, to the executive director, and shall thereupon have the right to initiate, within sixty days following such payment, and to maintain his action against the Nevada unemployment compensation division for a refund of all or any part of any such amount and to recover so much thereof as may have been erroneously assessed or paid. Such an action by the employer shall be commenced and maintained in the district court wherein is located the principal place of business of the employer, and in the event of entry of judgment for the employer the unemployment compensation division shall promptly refund such sum without interest as may be determined by the court. If no such payment under protest is made, upon filing the certificate aforesaid the clerk of the district court shall immediately enter a judgment in favor of the State of Nevada unemployment compensation division, and against the employer in the amount of the contributions, interest, and forfeits set forth in the certificate. No costs or filing fees shall be charged to the State of Nevada in any proceedings, brought under any subsection of this section, nor shall any bond or undertaking be required of the State of Nevada, either in proceedings in the district court or on appeal to the supreme court. (3) Judgments. An abstract of such judgment or a copy thereof may be recorded with the county recorder of any county in the State of Nevada, and from the time of such recording the amount of the contribution, interest, and forfeit therein set forth shall constitute a lien upon all the real and personal property of the employer in such county, owned by him or which he may afterwards acquire, which lien shall have the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien. Execution shall issue upon such a judgment upon request of the executive director or his authorized representative in the same manner as execution may issue upon other civil judgments, and sales shall be held under such execution as upon other executions upon civil judgments. In all proceedings under this section the unemployment compensation division shall be authorized to act in its name on behalf of the State of Nevada. |

Appeals may be taken to the supreme court from the judgment of the district court in the same manner and with the same effect as in other civil cases, except that notice of appeal must be served and filed within sixty days from the entry of judgment. (c) Priorities Under Legal Dissolutions or Distributions. In the event of any distribution of any employers assets either voluntarily or pursuant to any order of any court under the laws of this state, including any receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, adjudicated insolvency, composition, or similar proceeding, the lien for contributions then or thereafter due shall be paid in full, prior to all other liens or claims except prior taxes. In the event of an employers adjudication in bankruptcy, judicially confirmed extension proposal, composition or other proceeding under the federal bankruptcy act of 1898, as amended, contributions then or thereafter due shall be entitled to the same priority as is afforded by that act to taxes due to states. (d) Refunds. If not later than two years after the date on which any contributions, forfeit, or interest thereon became due, an employer who has paid such contributions, forfeit, or interest thereon shall make application for an adjustment thereof in connection with subsequent contribution payments, or for a refund thereof because such adjustment cannot be made, and the executive director shall determine that such contributions, forfeit, or interest, or any portion thereof, was erroneously collected, the executive director shall allow such employer to make an adjustment thereof, without interest, in connection with subsequent contribution payments by him, or if such adjustment cannot be made the executive director shall refund said amount, without interest, from the fund; provided, that in no case shall a refund be made with respect to contributions paid on wages which have been included in the determination of an eligible claimant for benefits, unless and until it is shown to the satisfaction of the executive director that such determination was due entirely to the fault or mistake of the division. Sec. 11. Section 16 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 16. (a) (1) Whoever makes a false statement or representation knowing it to be false or knowingly fails to disclose a material fact, to obtain or increase any benefit or other payment under this act, either for himself or for any other person, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not longer than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (2) Whenever two or more persons shall conspire to obtain or increase any benefit or other payment under this act, by a false statement or representation knowing it to be false, or by knowingly failing to disclose a material fact, or whenever any person makes a series of false statements or representations knowing them to be false, to obtain or increase benefit payments under this act over a period of more than one week, every such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. |

(b) Any employing unit or any officer or agent of an employing unit or any other person who makes a false statement or representation knowing it to be false, or who knowingly fails to disclose a material fact, to prevent or reduce the payment of benefits to any individual entitled thereto, or to avoid becoming or remaining subject hereto, or to avoid or reduce any contribution or other payment required from an employing unit under this act, or who willfully fails or refuses to make any such contributions or other payment or to furnish any reports required hereunder, or to produce or permit the inspection or copying of records as required hereunder, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not longer than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Whenever two or more persons shall conspire to accomplish any of the objects provided in this subsection, every such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (c) Any person who shall willfully violate any provision of this act or any order, rule, or regulation thereunder, the violation of which is made unlawful or the observance of which is required under the terms of this act, and for which a penalty is neither prescribed herein nor provided by any other applicable statute, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or by imprisonment for not longer than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (d) Any person who, by reason of the nondisclosure or misrepresentation by him or by another, of a material fact (irrespective of whether such nondisclosure or misrepresentation was known or fraudulent) has received any sum as benefits under this act while any conditions for the receipt of benefits imposed by this act where not fulfilled in his case, or while he was disqualified from receiving benefits, shall, in the discretion of the executive director, either be liable to have such sum deducted from any future benefits payable to him under this act or shall be liable to repay to the executive director for the unemployment compensation fund, a sum equal to the amount so received by him, and such sum shall be collectible in the manner provided in section 14(b) of this act for the collection of past-due contributions. |

[Senate Bill No. 66Senator Haight]
Chap. 188An Act to regulate in the State of Nevada the transfer of shares of stock in corporations, and to make uniform the law with reference thereto.
[Approved March 22, 1945]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. That title to a certificate of and to the shares represented thereby can be transferred only- (a) By delivery of the certificate endorsed either in blank or to a specified person by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby; or
|
κ1945 Statutes of Nevada, Page 325 (CHAPTER 188, SB 66)κ
|
or to a specified person by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby; or (b) By delivery of the certificate and a separate document containing a written assignment of the certificate or a power of attorney to sell, assign, or transfer the same or the shares represented thereby, signed by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby. Such assignment or power of attorney may be either in blank or to a specific person. The provisions of this section shall be applicable although the charter or articles of incorporation or code of regulations or bylaws of the corporation issuing the certificate and the certificate itself provide that the shares represented thereby shall be transferable only on the books of the corporation or shall be registered by a registrar or transferred by a transfer agent. Sec. 2. Nothing in this act shall be construed as enlarging the powers of an infant or other person lacking full legal capacity, or of a trustee, executor, or administrator, or other fiduciary, to make a valid endorsement, assignment, or power of attorney. Sec. 3. Nothing in this act shall be construed as forbidding a corporation- (a) To recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner; or (b) To hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares. Sec. 4. The title of a transferee of a certificate under a power of attorney or assignment not written upon the certificate, and the title of any person claiming under such transferee, shall cease and determine if, at any time prior to the surrender of the certificate to the corporation issuing it, another person, for value in good faith, and without notice of the prior transfer, shall purchase and obtain delivery of such certificate with the endorsement of the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof, or shall purchase and obtain delivery of such certificate and the written assignment or power of attorney of such person, though contained in a separate document. Sec. 5. The delivery of a certificate to transfer title in accordance with the provisions of section 1 is effectual, except as provided in section 7, though made by one having no right of possession and having no authority from the owner of the certificate or from the person purporting to transfer the title. Sec. 6. The endorsement of a certificate by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby is effectual, except as provided in section 7, though the endorser or transferor-

represented thereby is effectual, except as provided in section 7, though the endorser or transferor- (a) Was induced by fraud, duress, or mistake, to make the endorsement or delivery; or (b) Has revoked the delivery of the certificate or the authority given by the endorsement or delivery of the certificate; or (c) Has died or become legally incapacitated after the endorsement, whether before or after the delivery of the certificate; or (d) Has received no consideration. Sec. 7. If the endorsement or delivery of a certificate- (a) Was procured by fraud or duress; or (b) Was made under such mistake as to make the endorsement or delivery inequitable; or If the delivery of a certificate was made- (c) Without authority from the owner; or (d) After the owners death or legal incapacity, the possession of the certificate may be reclaimed and the transfer thereof rescinded, unless- (1) The certificate has been transferred to a purchaser for value in good faith without notice of any facts making the transfer wrongful; or (2) The injured person has elected to waive the injury or has been guilty of laches in endeavoring to enforce his rights. Any court of appropriate jurisdiction may enforce specifically such right to reclaim the possession of the certificate or to rescind the transfer thereof and, pending litigation, may enjoin the further transfer of the certificate or impound it. Sec. 8. Although the transfer of a certificate or of shares represented thereby has been rescinded or set aside, nevertheless, if the transferee has possession of the certificate or of a new certificate representing part or the whole of the same shares of stock, a subsequent transfer of such certificate by the transferee, mediately or immediately, to a purchaser for value in good faith, without notice of any facts making the transfer wrongful, shall give such purchaser an indefeasible right to the certificate and the shares represented thereby. Sec. 9. The delivery of a certificate by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof without the endorsement requisite for the transfer of the certificate and the shares represented thereby, but with intent to transfer such certificate or shares, shall impose an obligation, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, upon the person so delivering, to complete the transfer by making the necessary endorsement. |

|
endorsement. The transfer shall take effect as of the time when the endorsement is actually made. This obligation may be specifically enforced. Sec. 10. An attempted transfer of title to a certificate or to the shares represented thereby without delivery of the certificate shall have the effect of a promise to transfer and the obligation, if any, imposed by such promise shall be determined by the law governing the formation and performance of contracts. Sec. 11. A person who for value transfers a certificate, including one who assigns for value a claim secured by a certificate, unless a contrary intention appears, warrants- (a) That the certificate is genuine; (b) That he has a legal right to transfer it; and (c) That he has no knowledge of any fact which would impair the validity of the certificate. In the case of an assignment of a claim secured by a certificate, the liability of the assignor upon such warranty shall not exceed the amount of the claim. Sec. 12. A mortgagee, pledgee, or other holder for security of a certificate who in good faith demands or receives payment of the debt for which such certificate is security, whether from a party to a draft drawn for such debt, or from any other person, shall not by so doing be deemed to represent or to warrant the genuineness of such certificate, or the value of the shares represented thereby. Sec. 13. No attachment or levy upon shares of stock for which a certificate is outstanding shall be valid until such certificate be actually seized by the officer making the attachment or levy, or be surrendered to the corporation which issued it, or its transfer by the holder be enjoined. Except where a certificate is lost or destroyed, such corporation shall not be compelled to issue a new certificate for the stock until the old certificate is surrendered to it. Sec. 14. A creditor whose debtor is the owner of a certificate shall be entitled to such aid from courts of appropriate jurisdiction, by injunction and otherwise, in attaching such certificate or in satisfying the claim by means thereof as is allowed at law or in equity, in regard to property which cannot readily be attached or levied upon by ordinary legal process. Sec. 15. There shall be no lien in favor of a corporation upon the shares represented by a certificate issued by such corporation and there shall be no restriction upon the transfer of shares so represented by virtue of any bylaws of such corporation, or otherwise, unless the right of the corporation to such lien or the restriction is stated upon the certificate. Sec. 16. The alteration of a certificate, whether fraudulent or not and by whomsoever made, shall not deprive the owner of his title to the certificate and the shares originally represented thereby, and the transfer of such a certificate shall convey to the transferee a good title to such certificate and to the shares originally represented thereby. |

or not and by whomsoever made, shall not deprive the owner of his title to the certificate and the shares originally represented thereby, and the transfer of such a certificate shall convey to the transferee a good title to such certificate and to the shares originally represented thereby. Sec. 17. Where a certificate has been lost or destroyed, a court of competent jurisdiction may order the issue of a new certificate therefor on service of process upon the corporation and on reasonable notice by publication, and in any other way which the court may direct, to all persons interested, and upon satisfactory proof of such loss or destruction and upon the giving of a bond with sufficient surety to be approved by the court to protect the corporation or any person injured by the issue of the new certificate from any liability or expense, which it or they may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding. The court may also in its discretion order the payment of the corporations reasonable costs and counsel fees. The issue of a new certificate under an order of the court as provided in this section shall not relieve the corporation from liability in damages to a person to whom the original certificate has been or shall be transferred for value without notice of the proceedings or of the issuance of the new certificate. Sec. 18. In any case not provided for by this act, the rules of law and equity, including the law merchant, and in particular the rules relating to the law of principal and agent, executors, administrators, and trustees, and to the effect of fraud, misrepresentation, duress, or coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, or other invalidating cause, shall govern. Sec. 19. This act shall be so interpreted and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law of those states which enact it. Sec. 20. A certificate is endorsed when an assignment or a power of attorney to sell, assign, or transfer the certificate or the shares represented thereby is written on the certificate and signed by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby, or when the signature of such person is written without more upon the back of the certificate. In any of such cases a certificate is endorsed though it has not been delivered. Sec. 21. The person to whom a certificate was originally issued is the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof, and of the shares represented thereby, until and unless he endorses the certificate to another specified person, and thereupon such other specified person is the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof until and unless he also endorses the certificate to another specified person. |

son. Subsequent special endorsements may be made with like effect. Sec. 22. (1) In this act, unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires- Certificate means a certificate of stock in a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, or of the District of Columbia, or of another state whose laws are consistent with this act. Delivery means voluntary transfer of possession from one person to another. Person includes a corporation or partnership of two or more persons having a joint or common interest. To purchase includes to take as mortgagee or as pledgee. Purchaser includes mortgagee and pledgee.

Title means legal title, and does not include a merely equitable or beneficial ownership or interest. Value is any consideration sufficient to support a simple contract. An antecedent or pre-existing obligation whether for money or not, constitutes value where a certificate is taken either in satisfaction thereof or as security therefor. (2) A thing is done in good faith, within the meaning of this act, when it is in fact done honestly, whether it be done negligently or not. Sec. 23. The provisions of this act apply only to certificates issued after the taking effect of this act. Sec. 24. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 25. This act may be cited as the Uniform Stock Transfer Act. |
