Description

Governing agencies can be classified as either federal, state, or local. The Nevada Legislature is a state level governing body that provides governance for the state of Nevada. A large part of the process of governing the state takes place during a regular legislative session, where new laws are heard then passed or denied and old laws are revised or abolished. One regular legislative session consists of 120 calendar days. In the event that not all business was able to be conducted within a regular session, the governor of the state can call for a special session to be opened. A special session is typically not budgeted and ends up costing extra money to operate. There may be operational issues surrounding current regular session lengths and frequency which attribute to the Nevada Legislature needing to open so many special sessions. This topic is of interest for the Nevada Legislature’s stakeholders. The stakeholders are the citizens of the state of Nevada who pay taxes.
