AI Summary

This bill revises the provisions related to legislative bill draft requests in Nevada, making several key changes. For incumbent legislators, the bill reduces the number of pre-session bill draft requests from 9 to 6 for Assembly members and from 18 to 12 for Senators, and equally divides these requests between two deadline periods (August 1 and December 10). The bill introduces a new requirement that legislators must submit sufficient detail for drafting or withdraw a bill request by each deadline, or their subsequent request allowances will be reduced. For legislative leadership, the bill decreases bill draft request allowances for the Speaker of the Assembly and Senate Majority Leader from 15 to 10, and for Minority Leaders from 10 to 5. For the Governor, the bill modifies the deadline for submitting up to 5 legislative agenda bills, tying it to whether a gubernatorial election will occur before the session. Additionally, the bill reduces bill draft request numbers for other constitutional officers, such as lowering the Lieutenant Governor's requests from 3 to 2 and the Attorney General's from 20 to 16. These changes aim to streamline the pre-session legislative measure drafting process and potentially reduce the overall number of bill drafts prepared before a legislative session.
