According to NRS 218D. 150
legislators may submit their final Bill Draft Requests (BDR) between the start
of the legislative session; February 2, 2015, and 5:00 P.M. on the eighth day
of the session, in this case, February 8, 2015. Assembly members may submit one
BDR during this period. State Senators are allowed two.
In addition to this allotment, prior to the first day of the
session; February 2, 2015, the Assembly Speaker
and Senate Majority Leader may each submit BDR’s equal to the number
remaining from the 15 allotted to the previous Speaker and Majority Leader. As
of December 5th, 14 remain for the Speaker while the new Senate
Majority Leader has the full 15 remaining. The Minority Leaders of both the
Assembly and Senate are allowed to complete the allotment of 10 each. As of
December 5th, the Assembly Minority Leader has submitted two leaving
eight for the new Minority Leader. The Senate Minority Leader can submit 10
before the star of the session.
As of December 5th, very few legislators have used
their full allotment of BDR. The opportunity for a legislator to take the lead,
to clearly demonstrate to all Nevada voters they matter, and file a BDR for the
Nevada Election Modernization and Reform Act (NEMRA) is there until 5:00 P.M.
on February 9, 2015.
To make it easy, the necessary detail needed for submission
to allow the Legislative Council Bureau (LCB) to write the bill is available here.
