Senate RESOLUTION—Designating certain members of the Senate as regular and alternate members of the Legislative Commission.

 

1-1  Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, That

1-2  pursuant to the provisions of NRS 218.660 and the Joint Standing

1-3  Rules of the Legislature, Senators Randolph J. Townsend, Ann

1-4  O’Connell, Mike McGinness, Alice Costandina Titus, Valerie

1-5  Wiener and Maggie Carlton are designated as the regular Senate

1-6  members of the Legislative Commission; and be it further

1-7  Resolved, That Senators Mark Amodei and Dean A. Rhoads

1-8  are designated as the first and second alternate members,

1-9  respectively, for Senator Randolph J. Townsend; Senators Dennis

1-10  Nolan and Raymond C. Shaffer are designated as the first and

1-11  second alternate members, respectively, for Senator Ann O’Connell;

1-12  Senators Warren B. Hardy II and Maurice E. Washington are

1-13  designated as the first and second alternate members, respectively,

1-14  for Senator Mike McGinness; Senators Terry Care and Michael A.

1-15  Schneider are designated as the first and second alternate members,

1-16  respectively, for Senator Alice Costandina Titus; Senators Terry

1-17  Care and Joseph M. Neal are designated as the first and second

1-18  alternate members, respectively, for Senator Valerie Wiener; and

1-19  Senators Terry Care and Joseph M. Neal are designated as the first

1-20  and second alternate members, respectively, for Senator Maggie

1-21  Carlton; and be it further

1-22      Resolved, That the procedure for requesting an alternate

1-23  member to replace a regular member during his absence at a

1-24  meeting must be as follows:

2-1  1.  The Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall establish

2-2  a record of service of alternate members at meetings of the

2-3  Legislative Commission and shall maintain a list of the alternate

2-4  members for each individual Senator or group of Senators. Each list

2-5  must contain a numerical designation in ascending order for each

2-6  alternate member on the list. The initial sequence in which the

2-7  alternate members must be listed must correspond to their

2-8  designation as alternates in this resolution.

2-9  2.  If a regular member of the Legislative Commission is unable

2-10  to attend a scheduled meeting of the Legislative Commission and

2-11  notifies the Secretary of the Legislative Commission, the Secretary

2-12  shall request the alternate member with the lowest numerical

2-13  designation on the appropriate list to replace the regular member at

2-14  the meeting. If the alternate member does not agree to serve, the

2-15  Secretary shall make the same request of the alternate member with

2-16  the next higher numerical designation on the list, and so on through

2-17  the list until an alternate member agrees to replace the regular

2-18  member.

2-19      3.  An alternate member who agrees to replace a regular

2-20  member at a meeting of the Legislative Commission loses the

2-21  numerical designation he had on the appropriate list at the time he

2-22  was requested to serve. The Secretary of the Legislative

2-23  Commission shall, when the alternate member agrees to replace the

2-24  regular member, assign to that alternate member the highest

2-25  numerical designation on the appropriate list. At the same time, the

2-26  Secretary shall also reduce by one the numerical designation in the

2-27  appropriate list to those alternate members who have higher

2-28  numerical designations in the appropriate list than the alternate

2-29  member who has agreed to serve.

2-30      4.  An alternate member who is requested to replace a regular

2-31  member at a meeting of the Legislative Commission, but who does

2-32  not agree to replace the regular member, does not lose the numerical

2-33  designation he had on the appropriate list at the time of the request.
