 Nevada State Government, Carson City
Nevada State Legislature Nevada State Senate Nevada State Assembly
The state legislature consists of a senate with 21 members, each elected to a four-year term, and a house of representatives with 42 members, each serving two years. Nevada limits members of the Assembly to serving 12 years or six terms and members of the Senate to three terms or 12 years. Regular legislative sessions are held in odd-numbered years only and last no more than 120 calendar days. In 2009 the 75th Regular Session ran from February 2 to June 2, and the 76th Regular Session is scheduled to begin February 7, 2011. Only the governor can call a special session and Governor Jim Gibbons did so in 2010 due to an $887 million budget shortfall. The 26th Special Session convened from February 23 to March 1, 2010. Legislators receive a salary of $130 per day for the first 60 days of each regular session and the first 20 days of each special session. Legislators receive no salary for the remaining 60 days of a regular session. In addition to the salary legislators who live more than 50 miles from the capital receive a per diem allowance for meals and lodging. Legislators must be qualified voters, at least 21 years old, and should have lived in their district for at least a year prior to election. |
