Posted by FoM on March 16, 1999 at 06:00:21 PT

CARSON CITY More than 100 bills, on subjects ranging from marijuana and abortion to guns and taxes, were introduced Monday on the final day for introductions by individual Nevada lawmakers. 
The last-minute introductions pushed the total of bills submitted so far this session to more than 1,000. The total will go still higher by next Monday, when the deadline for introductions by committees will hit. After that, only a relative handful of bills will be proposed prior to the May 31 end of the 1999 session. Assemblywoman Chris Giunchigliani, D-Las Vegas, was the lead author on AB577, which would ease Nevada's marijuana laws and allow for California-style citations for people caught for the first time with small amounts. Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, R-Reno, proposed AB580, which would require doctors to hand out pamphlets that describe factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. One of those factors, said Angle, is abortion. Assemblyman Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas, introduced AB559 which would lower Nevada's DUI level from 0.10 to 0.08. The lawmaker has tried before without success to pass such a measure. Sen. Mike Schneider, D-Las Vegas, came up with SJR17, a proposal to extend the terms of office for members of the Senate and Assembly. And Sen. Bernice Mathews, D-Sparks, proposed SB412, which would prevent a parent from getting custody of child if the death of the other parent was due to domestic violence. Sen. Maurice Washington, R-Sparks, offered SB420, which would remove restrictions on concealed firearms permits. Sen. Bob Coffin, D-Las Vegas, proposed SB448, requiring authorities to notify the spouse of a person who applies for a gun permit. Tax measures include AB571 by Assemblyman Harry Mortenson, D-Las Vegas, to double the room tax in Las Vegas from 2 percent to 4 percent to pay for more parks, museums, other cultural facilities. And Assemblywomen Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, and Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, proposed AB540, to grants credits against fees for casino licensees that help build affordable housing. To Judiciary. Another tax credit plan, AB562 by Assemblwoman Kelly Thomas, D-Las Vegas, would provide tax credits to employers that provide on-site child care services for employees. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/cnews/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/1999/03/16/state0101EST0167.DTL

 Not that many people act like Jesus.It would be nice if more did. I am curious as to why the Glass family decided to make these somewhat strange comments concerning abortion and Jesus? All comments are welcome here,but perhaps you might want to clarify the purpose of your writings. Jesus has nothing to do with abortion.Abortion is not really very good,,,,,but I love Jesus....dddd
