Bill Summary

Proposing to amend the Nevada Constitution to require that the language of a bill or joint resolution be made available to the public by publication on the Internet website of the Legislature for at least 72 hours before a House may vote on the final passage of the bill or joint resolution.

AI Summary

This resolution proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to require that the text of any bill or joint resolution be published on the Legislature's official website for at least 72 hours before a legislative house can vote on its final passage. The new provision allows for only one exception to this requirement: if the Governor requests a waiver due to an emergency. This transparency measure aims to give lawmakers and the public more time to review proposed legislation before a final vote, potentially increasing governmental accountability and allowing for more informed decision-making. The resolution would become effective immediately upon its passage, and it represents a significant change to the state's legislative process by mandating a minimum public review period for proposed laws. The 72-hour waiting period is designed to provide sufficient time for legislators, stakeholders, and citizens to examine the details of proposed legislation before it moves to a final vote.
