Bill Summary

Proposing to amend the Nevada Constitution to provide a citizens' commission to establish the compensation of certain elected officers.

AI Summary

This resolution proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution by establishing a Citizens' Commission on Compensation for Certain Elected Officers to determine the compensation for legislators, replacing the current method of setting legislative pay by law. The key changes include removing the previous limit on the number of days for which legislators can be compensated and allowing the new Citizens' Commission to provide compensation for legislative duties performed outside of regular and special sessions. The resolution also repeals a previous constitutional section that allowed the Legislature to adjust officer compensation by law, effectively transferring the power of compensation determination to the new Citizens' Commission. The proposed changes aim to create a more flexible and independent mechanism for setting legislative compensation, removing direct legislative control over their own pay and establishing a separate commission to make these determinations. The resolution would become effective upon its passage, signaling an immediate change to how legislative compensation is established in Nevada.
