Ballot Initiatives

[edit]

Intermediate Appellate Court

[edit]

Senate Joint Resolution No. 14 of the 76th Session creates an intermediate appellate court between the District Court level and the Nevada Supreme Court. After passing through the 76th Session in 2011 with a vote of 48 in favor, 13 against and two excused,[25][26] and the 77th Session in 2013 with a vote of 61 in favor, none against and two excused,[27][28] Senate Joint Resolution No. 14 will be placed on the 2014 general election ballot for popular vote to amend the Constitution of Nevada.

The Education Initiative

[edit]

The Education Initiative was on the 2014 ballot in the state of Nevada as an indirect initiated state statute. The measure seeks to implement a 2 percent margins tax on businesses in the state and requires that the proceeds of the tax be used to fund the operation of public schools in Nevada for kindergarten through grade 12. Initiative Petition No. 1 was forwarded to the Nevada Legislature from the Secretary of State's office after qualifying for the ballot for legislative action. The Legislature did not act on IP No. 1 within the framework pursuant to Article 19, section 2 of the Nevada Constitution and automatically went on the ballot in 2014.[29]

Mining Tax

[edit]

Senate Joint Resolution No. 15 of the 76th Session proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to remove the separate tax rate and manner of assessing and distributing the tax on mines and the proceeds of mines. After passing through the 76th Session in 2011 with a vote of 40 in favor and 23 against,[30][31] and the 77th Session in 2013 with a vote of 43 in favor, 19 against and one excused,[32][33] Senate Joint Resolution No. 15 will be placed on the 2014 general election ballot for popular vote to amend the Constitution of Nevada.
