Local Government Reform- SB11 PDF Print E-mail

Prohibits the county commissioners of certain larger counties from holding certain other employment
SB 11
Sponsored by: Senator Terry Care
BILL STATUS: Pursuant to Joint Standing Rule No. 14.3.2, no further action allowed

Senate Bill 11 would require a member of the board of county commissioners of a county whose population is greater than 400,000—currently only Clark County—to hold the Commission position as an exclusive full time job.  The legislation exempts temporary and part-time teaching duties on a university campus.  As many advocates have pointed out, a full-time commission would have more time to meet with the public and learn about issues on their own, instead of relying on staff for information about county issues, Care said.
