Summary#
Assembly Resolution 8 designates Assembly members to serve on Nevada’s Legislative Commission for the 2025–2027 biennium. It is a resolution made under existing law and legislative rules, not a change to those laws. Its stated purpose is to name the Assembly’s regular and alternate members.
- The six regular Assembly members are Sandra Jauregui, Steve Yeager, Shea Backus, Howard Watts, Gregory Hafen II, and Alexis Hansen.
- Each regular member has two named alternates, in first- and second-alternate order: Elaine Marzola and Venicia Considine for Jauregui; Daniele Monroe-Moreno and Brittney Miller for Yeager; Erica Mosca and Natha Anderson for Backus; Tracy Brown-May and Max Carter II for Watts; Richard DeLong and Brian Hibbetts for Hafen; and Gregory Koenig and Toby Yurek for Hansen.
- The designations last until successors are designated. The resolution takes effect upon adoption.
What it means for you#
- Public: This is a change in who is designated to represent the Assembly on the Legislative Commission. The resolution does not directly change public rights, services, taxes, or fees.
- Designated members and alternates: The six regular members are named, and each has a first and second alternate. The resolution does not say when an alternate serves in place of a regular member.
Money#
No cost information is in the available material.
- The resolution does not appropriate money or change a tax or fee.
- Any costs related to members’ service are not stated.
What is unclear#
- The resolution cites NRS 218E.150 and the Legislature’s Joint Standing Rules, but those materials were not supplied, so their requirements and how these designations fit with them could not be checked.
- The resolution does not explain the selection criteria for the named members.
- It does not state when or how an alternate takes the place of a regular member.
Case for#
- Naming the members makes clear who is designated to serve for the Assembly on the commission.
- Naming two alternates for each regular member could help keep the Assembly’s designated places filled if a regular member cannot serve. This is an inference; the resolution does not state when alternates take over.
- The designations last until successors are named, so the resolution sets a clear end point for these appointments.
Case against#
- The resolution gives no reasons for selecting these members, making it hard from this text alone to assess the basis for the choices.
- The order of alternates is specified, but the resolution does not say when either alternate may serve.
- Because the cited law and rules are not included here, the resolution alone does not show how these designations fit into the commission’s wider membership or operating rules.
