EXPLANATION

The Nevada Constitution prohibits the State of Nevada from donating or loaning money or its credit to, or subscribing to or having an interest in the stock of any company, association or corporation, except corporations formed for educational or charitable purposes. The proposed amendment would retain the prohibition against donating money of the state to businesses that are not formed for educational or charitable purposes, but would allow the state to lend money or its credit to, and subscribe to and have an interest in the stock of any business. A "Yes" vote is a vote to amend the Nevada Constitution to expand the authority of the state to loan money or its credit to, or invest in businesses. A "No" vote is a vote to disapprove the proposed amendment.

FISCAL NOTE

Financial Impact-No. The Proposal to amend the Nevada Constitution would expand the state's ability to invest public money in various private enterprises. The proposal would have no adverse fiscal impact.^[1]
