THE EIGHTY-EIGHTH DAY

                               

 

Carson City (Thursday), May 1, 2003

 

    Assembly called to order at 11:21 a.m.

    Mr. Speaker presiding.

    Roll called.

    All present.

    Prayer by the Chaplain, Marlene Wendell.

    As this is National Day of Prayer, it is my privilege to lead the Nevada State Assembly in prayer for our President, his Cabinet members, the United States military, members of Congress, our Governor, the members of the Nevada Legislature and staff, and all the good people of the state of Nevada and the United States of America.

    Heavenly Father, we come to You, recognizing You are the Most High God, El Elyon in the Hebrew; and You sit on the throne of ultimate authority and power. One word, perhaps more than any other, sums up what the world is searching for these days, security. Everybody wants to feel more secure and free from fear of terrorist attacks, war, chemical and biological weapons threatening whole cities, diseases, and plagues. You, Father God, have given us the answers of how to live in this world with all of its potential dangers and still feel safe and secure.

    Although promises of Your protection are echoed many times throughout the pages of the Bible, there is no single passage that captures Your wonderful ability and desire to deliver Your people in times of danger better than Psalm 91: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

    If we will just believe and act on Your promises spoken to us here in Psalm 91, we will be able to live in total freedom from fear even in the worst of times, no matter what kinds of threats arise around us. On this day, when the whole nation is called to pray for our great country, we make Psalm 91 our declaration of faith. We believe You, Father God, to give wisdom to our President, his advisors, and all of our leaders to make the right decisions that will keep our nation strong.

    Thank You for the rich and glorious heritage we have as a country. Let us never forget this is a country founded upon religious freedom and the principles and precepts of Your Word. Let us never forget the thousands upon thousands who shed their blood and gave their lives to protect the freedoms we now have and enjoy. We look to You, the Most High God, to preserve and protect all our citizens and for the continued preservation of our freedom. We ask it all in Your Holy Name.

Amen.

    Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

    Assemblyman Oceguera moved that further reading of the Journal be dispensed with, and the Speaker and Chief Clerk be authorized to make the necessary corrections and additions.

    Motion carried.

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES

    By Assemblymen Chowning, Anderson, Andonov, Angle, Arberry, Atkinson, Beers, Brown, Buckley, Carpenter, Christensen, Claborn, Collins, Conklin, Geddes, Gibbons, Giunchigliani, Goicoechea, Goldwater, Grady, Griffin, Gustavson, Hardy, Hettrick, Horne, Knecht, Koivisto, Leslie, Mabey, Manendo, Marvel, McClain, McCleary, Mortenson, Oceguera, Ohrenschall, Parks, Perkins, Pierce, Sherer, Weber, and Williams; Senators Carlton, Amodei, Care, Cegavske, Coffin, Hardy, Mathews, McGinness, Neal, Nolan, O’Connell, Raggio, Rawson, Rhoads, Schneider, Shaffer, Tiffany, Titus, Townsend, Washington, and Wiener:

    Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 17—Recognizing April 15, 2003, as Equal Pay Day in Nevada.

    Whereas, When the Equal Pay Act, requiring employers to pay all employees equally for equal work, was signed in 1963, women who worked full-time, year-round made 59 cents, on average, for every dollar earned by men, and 40 years later women earn only 76 cents of that dollar as the wage gap closes at an even slower rate, resulting in a change of less than one-half penny per year; and

    Whereas, According to reports by the Bureau of the Census of the Department of Commerce, the effects of the wage gap on women of color is even greater, with black women earning only 69 cents for every dollar earned by white men, and Hispanic women earning only 56 cents of that dollar; and

    Whereas, “A New Look Through the Glass Ceiling: Where Are the Women?,” a report using data compiled by the General Accounting Office, states that, of the 10 industries surveyed which employ 71 percent of all employed women and 73 percent of all female managers, women who are full-time managers are paid less and advance less often than male managers and that the wage gap between female managers and their male counterparts widened between 1995 and 2000 in 7 of the 10 industries; and

    Whereas, Many women are the sole support of their families and wage discrimination has a huge impact on their children and the quality of their lives, and it is estimated that America’s working families lose $200 billion annually because of wage discrimination; and

    Whereas, Over a working lifetime, this wage disparity costs the average American woman and her family an estimated $250,000 in lost wages, impacting social security benefits and pensions; and

    Whereas, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits wage discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, or national origin, and yet long after the Supreme Court made it clear that Title VII prohibits wage discrimination even when the jobs are not identical, as long as the work is comparable, wage discrimination laws are poorly enforced and cases are extremely difficult to win; and

    Whereas, Wage discrimination for any reason is detrimental to our sense of justice and fairness and our belief in the American way; and

    Whereas, While many people claim that the wage gap is the result of differences in education, the Bureau of the Census reports that a white male with a master’s degree earns $67,818 per year and a black man with the same education earns only $51,336, with the lowest paid being a similarly educated black woman, who earns only $43,884; and

    Whereas, The National Committee on Pay Equity, founded in 1979, is a national coalition of over 80 organizations and thousands of men and women from all walks of life who are working to eliminate wage discrimination and to achieve pay equity that will benefit society as a whole when all workers have jobs that pay a fair and equitable wage, enabling them and their families to lead healthy, fulfilling and productive lives; and

    Whereas, While the costs are minimal to employers, only 3 to 4 percent of payroll costs, pay equity wage adjustments can make a substantial difference in the lives of the persons who are being discriminated against; and

    Whereas, Every year, Equal Pay Day is marked on a Tuesday in April because, on average, it takes women 7 workdays to earn the same amount that men earn in 5 workdays and 15 months to match the average man’s 12-month income; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That April 15, 2003, be recognized as Equal Pay Day; and be it further

    Resolved, That the public and private employers in Nevada are to be congratulated for lighting the way for other states to follow, with the employers in our State ranking among the highest in the nation in paying their employees equal pay for equal work; and be it further

    Resolved, That all employers in Nevada, whether public or private, are encouraged to compensate all employees fairly, based on an objective evaluation of their jobs, considering factors such as the skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions required for each job; and be it further

    Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Governor Kenny Guinn, to each member of the Nevada Congressional Delegation and to Linda Chavez-Thompson, the Chair of the National Committee on Pay Equity.

    Assemblywoman Chowning moved the adoption of the resolution.

    Remarks by Assemblywoman Chowning.

    Resolution adopted unanimously.               

    Assemblywoman Buckley moved that all rules be suspended and that Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 17 be immediately transmitted to the Senate.

    Motion carried unanimously.

    By the Committee on Judiciary:

    Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 18—Directing the Legislative Commission to conduct an interim study of the juvenile justice system in Nevada.

    Assemblyman Anderson moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Elections, Procedures, and Ethics.

    Motion carried.

    By Assemblymen Perkins, Buckley, Hettrick, Anderson, Andonov, Angle, Arberry, Atkinson, Beers, Brown, Carpenter, Chowning, Christensen, Claborn, Collins, Conklin, Geddes, Gibbons, Giunchigliani, Goicoechea, Goldwater, Grady, Griffin, Gustavson, Hardy, Horne, Knecht, Koivisto, Leslie, Mabey, Manendo, Marvel, McClain, McCleary, Mortenson, Oceguera, Ohrenschall, Parks, Pierce, Sherer, Weber, and Williams:

    Assembly Resolution No. 5—Expressing appreciation to the staff of the Assembly and designating May 1, 2003, as Assembly Staff Appreciation Day.

    Whereas, The Nevada Legislature undertakes an enormous task every 2 years in the performance of its legislative duties on behalf of the residents of Nevada; and

    Whereas, The smooth and efficient operation of the Nevada Legislature is largely dependent upon the dedication and abilities of the members of its staff; and

    Whereas, Because the legislative session has been limited to 120 days, many extra demands have been placed on the staff by requiring them to learn and assimilate new skills at an accelerated rate and to process their work even more efficiently; and

    Whereas, The bill clerks, secretaries, sergeants at arms, and clerical and support staff who serve as attaches of the Assembly have worked diligently and efficiently in their service to the members of the Assembly; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Assembly of the State of Nevada, That the members of the Assembly of the 72nd Session of the Nevada Legislature do hereby express their sincere appreciation and commend the outstanding support staff of the Assembly, which includes
Diane Keetch, Lucinda Benjamin, Matthew Baker, Kathryn Fosnaugh, Harle Glover,
