Bill > SJR5

This resolution proposes several amendments to the Nevada Constitution to enact government reforms across multiple areas. The key provisions include establishing a new Political Practices Enforcement Commission with five members appointed by different state officials, who must be qualified electors and prohibited from holding other public offices or engaging in political activities. The Commission would have broad powers to interpret and enforce laws related to campaign finance, lobbying, conflicts of interest, and government ethics, with the ability to investigate violations, provide guidance, maintain public databases, and impose disciplinary actions including administrative fines or removal from office. The resolution also mandates new legislative transparency requirements, such as requiring bills to be publicly available for 72 hours before a vote and prohibiting waiving this requirement. Additionally, it modifies rules about legislative proceedings, including voting procedures for bills that create or increase public revenue, and adjusts provisions related to educational funding sources. The amendments aim to increase government accountability, transparency, and ethical standards across Nevada's governmental institutions.
