    Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 39—Commending the Chief and staff of the State Printing Division of the Department of Administration for services rendered to the Nevada Legislature.

    Whereas, Chief Donald L. Bailey, Sr., and the staff of the State Printing Division of the Department of Administration have worked long and hard to meet the needs of the 71st session of the Nevada Legislature, and their efforts have ensured timely and efficient printing of all bills, resolutions, histories, indices, and journals; and

    Whereas, The work produced by the State Printing Division continues to meet the high standards of previous years because of the care that Chief Don Bailey and his excellent staff devote to every assignment given to them; and

    Whereas, The departments of the printing office, including composition, offset, bindery and office staff, have set and achieved these high standards under the direction of Chief Bailey; and

    Whereas, Without such outstanding service and continued cooperation from the Chief and his staff, the Legislature could not function or fulfill its obligations to the people of the State of Nevada; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That the members of the 71st session of the Nevada Legislature hereby express their appreciation and commend Chief Donald L. Bailey, Sr., and the members of his staff at the State Printing Division of the Department of Administration for their dedication, cooperation and exceptional work; and be it further

    Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Mr. Donald L. Bailey, Sr., Chief of the State Printing Division of the Department of Administration.

    Assemblyman Manendo moved the adoption of the resolution.

    Remarks by Assemblymen Manendo, Anderson, Price, Hettrick and Chowning.

    Assemblyman Parks requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.

    Assemblyman Manendo:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you to the body—Donald L. Bailey, Sr. wanted me to read a short letter into the record:

“Dear Mr. Speaker, through you to the members of the Assembly and Senate. We, the Nevada State Printing employees, wish to express our thanks for this recognition today. We would also like to thank you for your hard work during the 71^st Legislative Session. We wish you well during the remainder of the Session.”

    Today is actually a day that we recognize you folks. Today we see the leadership of the Printing Division. What we don’t see is the people behind the scenes that work very, very hard. I learned that during the session they run three shifts, while during the interim it is only one. These people that work so hard on behalf of all the citizens of the State allow us to accomplish our business. We really appreciate, not only the leadership you provide, but the people behind the scenes that I’m sure are working right now. We hear complaints about working until 9:00 but they are there all the time. Mr. Speaker, I ask this body to support this resolution.

    Assemblyman Anderson:

    I rise in support of our printing group. I believe it is the first and oldest labor union in the State of Nevada. Through the sessions I have been here the loyalty of the hard workers that are there on a day-to-day and night-to-night basis has proved that without them this just couldn’t happen. In keeping with that tradition they meet the highest order. I would feel negligent not to rise in support of those workers.

    Assemblyman Price:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my pleasure also to rise in support of this resolution. I learned many years ago by becoming friends with Don and watching the work these folks do how fortunate we are. For any of you that haven’t been there, the print shop is across the street. It is worth the time to go by and see the work and how they operate to keep us up to date. We really, really appreciate it—you couldn’t do better. We thank you very much.

    Assemblyman Hettrick:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of ACR 39. I wanted to let Mr. Bailey and his staff know that we in the minority appreciate the work they do just as much as the majority does. We want them to know that their efforts are not overlooked or forgotten. We look at these books every day and realize that without your efforts and hard work we wouldn’t have these bills so we can work on them and move forward. We do appreciate everything you do.

    Assemblywoman Chowning:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to say that I also rise in support. If anybody saw the quality of the last newsletter, it was so professional, full color, slick, with beautiful pictures. The nicest thing about the newsletter was the compliments they gave all of us for the hard work that we do. The print shop is a part of our team, a proud part of the team and I want to tell them thank you.

    2. Every] A person who [willfully] places, deposits or dumps, or who causes to be placed, deposited or dumped, or who causes or allows to overflow, any sewage, sludge, cesspool or septic tank effluent, or accumulation of human excreta, or any [garbage,] solid waste, in or upon any street, alley, public highway or road in common use, or upon any public park or other public property other than property designated or set aside for such a purpose by the governing body having charge thereof, or upon any private property , [into or upon which the public is admitted by easement, license or otherwise,] is guilty of :

    (a) For a first offense within the immediately preceding 2 years, a misdemeanor. [and, if the convicted person agrees, he shall be sentenced to]

    (c) For a third or subsequent offense within the immediately preceding 2 years, a gross misdemeanor and shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for 1 year.

    2.  In addition to any criminal penalty imposed pursuant to subsection 1 and any civil penalty imposed pursuant to NRS 444.635, a court shall sentence a person convicted of violating subsection 1:

    (a) If the person is a natural person, to clean up the dump site and perform 10 hours of work for the benefit of the community under the conditions prescribed in NRS 176.087.

    (b) If the person is a business entity:

            (I) Clean up the dump site; and

            (II) Perform 40 hours of community service cleaning up other dump sites identified by the solid waste management authority.

Identification of the owner of any [garbage] solid waste which is disposed of in violation of subsection [2] 1 creates a reasonable inference that the owner is the person who disposed of the [garbage.] solid waste.

    (a) Agency of the state or its political subdivisions.

    (b) Employer, public or private.

    (c) Employee organization or trust of any kind.

    (d) Financial institution or other entity which is in the business of providing credit reports.

    (e) Public utility.

Each of these persons and entities, their officers and employees, shall cooperate by providing any information in their possession which may aid in the location and identification of a person believed to be in violation of subsection [2.] 1. A disclosure made in good faith pursuant to this subsection does not give rise to any action for damages for the disclosure.

    Sec. 2. This act becomes effective upon passage and approval for the purpose of the solid waste management authority prescribing the forms of proof which may be provided to satisfy the provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of section 1 of this act, and on September 1, 2001, for all other purposes.”.

    Amend the bill as a whole by deleting section 1 and adding new sections designated sections 1 and 2, following the enacting clause, to read as follows:

    “Section 1. The Legislative Committee on Public Lands is hereby directed to:

    1.  Monitor the activities of Congress and the Bureau of Land Management relating to the management and protection of wild horses in this state;

    2.  Urge Congress to provide in a reliable manner an adequate amount of money to support the activities of the Bureau of Land Management in managing and protecting wild horses in this state in accordance with the provisions of the Free-Roaming Wild Horses and Burros Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 1331, et seq.; and

    “Whereas, On December 15, 1971, Congress enacted the provisions of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 1331, et seq.; and

    Whereas, The Act was enacted largely because of the efforts of a resident of this state named Velma “Wild Horse Annie” Johnson; and

    Whereas, Since 1971, it has been the responsibility of the Bureau of Land Management to manage and protect most of the wild horses in this state; and

    Whereas, Approximately 24,000 wild horses live on public rangelands in this state; and

    Whereas, The Bureau of Land Management has recently estimated that the public rangelands in this state can support between 14,000 and 15,000 wild horses; and

    Whereas, The Commission for the Preservation of Wild Horses has stated in its plan for the preservation and protection of wild horses in this state that an appropriate level of management must be established and maintained so that the number of wild horses on the public rangelands in this state is in appropriate balance under the concept of multiple use of the public rangelands; and

    Whereas, Because of a lack of reliable and adequate funding by Congress during the 30 years since the enactment of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, the Bureau of Land Management has been unsuccessful in managing wild horses in this state in a manner which achieves an appropriate level of management in accordance with the provisions of that Act; and

    Whereas, Additional money has recently become available from the Federal Government to carry out the activities and practices that are required to manage wild horses within the limits of their natural habitat; and

    Whereas, When adopted as a companion, a wild horse displays remarkable toughness, intelligence and adaptability, all of which are traits that have helped wild horses survive in the wild; and

    Whereas, Since their introduction into the Great Basin and Mojave Desert by Europeans, wild horses have contributed significantly to the economic, social and cultural history of this state; and

    Whereas, Wild horses are unique animals and deserve assistance in their continuing struggle to survive; now, therefore,”.

    Amend the title of the bill to read as follows:

“AN ACT relating to wild horses; directing the Legislative Committee on Public Lands to take certain actions relating to wild horses; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.”.
