the
honorable,

senate
majority,
leader
nevada
state
senate
to
the
honorable
members
of
the
nevada
state
senate.
As
you
are
aware,
the
results
of
the
2020
dycenial
census
were
delayed
due
to
the
covid19
pandemic.
Nevada
did
not
receive
the
results
until
after
the
adjournment
of
the
81st
regular
session
of
the
legislature,
the
nevada
constitution,
article
4
section
5
states
that
it
shall
be
the
mandatory
duty
of
the
legislature
to
apportion
the
senators
and
assembly
members
of
the
state
of
nevada.
C
According
to
the
number
of
inhabitants,
article
1,
section
2
of
the
united
states
constitution,
provides
that
after
each
decennial
census,
the
representatives
in
congress
shall
be
apportioned
among
the
states.
Article
5,
section,
9,
subsection
1
of
the
nevada
constitution,
provides
that
the
governor
may
on
extraordinary
occasions,
convene
a
special
session
of
the
nevada
state
legislature
by
proclamation.
C
Therefore,
in
order
to
carry
out
the
duties
of
redistricting
and
reapportionment
pursuant
to
the
nevada
constitution
and
the
united
states
constitution,
I
have
issued
a
proclamation
call
in
the
nevada
legislature
into
a
special
session
in
that
proclamation.
I
call
on
the
legislature
to
perform
is
mandatory
constitutional
duties,
reapportionment
and
redistricting.
C
Additionally,
due
to
the
date
the
late
receipt
of
the
census
data,
I
request
that
the
legislature
temporarily
adjust
the
candidate
filing
deadline
for
judicial
candidates
to
coincide
with
the
deadlines
for
non-judicial
candidates
for
the
2022
election.
This
will
allow
election
officials
adequate
time
to
prepare
for
the
2022
primary
elections.
Thank
you,

Instead
of
a
decision
by
the
president
on
points
of
order,
rule
number
22
is
revised
to
provide
that
a
motion
to
adjourn
is
always
in
order.
Unless
a
motion
to
rescind
a
final
vote
on
a
bill
or
resolution
is
pending.
Rule
number
27
is
revised
to
account
that
senators
may
speak
from
the
senate
floor
either
seated
or
standing
as
determined
by
the
senate.
Rule
number
40
is
revised
to
remove
joint

from
the
same

of
bills
for
placement
or

on
the

Calendar

E
Similarly,

consideration
and
placement
of
joint
resolutions
on
the
joint
resolution
file
consistent

Thank
you,

Pro
tempore.
B
B
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
on
the
record-
and
I
was
a
little
concerned
with
rule
number
37,
but
she'd
give
me
some
assurances
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
the
minority
party
will
have
the
ability
to
at
least
bring
forth
an
amendment
with
a
set
of
maps
for
the
committee
to
listen
to,
because
in
reading
the
rules
it
seemed
a
little
bit
vague,
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
for
the
record
that
the
minority
voice
does
have
the
ability
to
bring
forth
an
amendment.
In
that
respect,.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
toro
tempore,
and
to
my
colleague
from
senate
district
17.
We
did
discuss
that,
as
is
typical
with
any
bill
before
the
legislature.
We
would
be
accepting
any
amendments
that
might
be
proposed
to
the
committee
and
similarly
as
well
for
any
other
members
of
the
public
or
other
individuals,
there
is
a
procedure
to
submit
any
proposed
maps
that
also
can
be
utilized
and
that
we
will
definitely
be
happy
to
to
consider
anything
that
that
might
be
a
proposal
from
my
colleague.

E
C
Senate
resolution
number
three
introduced
by
senator
connozzaro
and
senator
settlemyer
recognizing
the
appointment
of
the
senate
staff.
E
A
E
E
E
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
pro
tempore
suspending
this
rule
will
allow
all
legislative
media
measures
to
be
sent
to
the
assembly
immediately
instead
of
waiting
for
the
day's
floor
session
to
adjourn,
however,
immediately
transmitting
these
measures
to
the
other
house
will
eliminate
the
opportunity
to
rescind
a
final
senate
action
on
the
bill
or
resolution.
Once
the
measure
has
been
transmitted.
The
president
pro
tempore
will
announce
the
transmittal
of
these
measures
before
they
leave
the
senate.

there
are
no
objections
to
the

so

I
will
announce

Pro-Tempore.
The
joint
rules
of
the

were
adopted

for
the

of
the
chairs.
Vice
chairs
and
members
of
the
select
committees.

leader,
the

that

E
Draft

prohibits
a
redistricting
committee

any
redistricting

that
is
racially
gerrymandered
or
that
the
committee
determines
violates
section
two
of
the
voting
rights
act,
which
prohibits

practice
or
procedure
that
results
in
the
denial
or
abridgement
of

vote
on
account
of
race,
color
or

As
a
member
of
a
language
minority
group,
finally,
rule
number
13.6
provides
that
the
redistributing
committees
are
seeking
and
encouraging
public
participation
in
all
aspects
of
redistricting
and
a
wide
range
of
input
on
redistricting.
