Article 4 §29 limited regular sessions to 60 days. That's right. Unfortunately, in '58 the BIG government special interests convinced voters to repeal it.
If we had small government in this state biennial sessions would last only four to five days. Like a business conference. Even guys as busy as Wynn could afford to take time off from work to serve. Legislators would get paid $200; no PERS or per-diem. Like their counterparts in New Hampshire.
Of course, since our busybody lawmakers try to control as many aspects of the lives of 2.7M Nevadans as they can think of, even a 24x7 365 legislature would feel time constrained to them.
