K.1) Discussion and consideration of AB 191 that relates to a state mandated election ballot question revising provisions governing taxes that would provide for annual increases on fuels for motor vehicles if approved by the voters. AB 191, enacted by the 2015 Legislature, requires Counties to place a question to the voters on the 2016 General Election Ballot regarding indexing (annual tax increases based upon economic indicators) of motor fuel taxes. The process requires the development of a ballot question with committees to provide “Pro” and “Con” statements regarding the measure. The Nevada Association of Counties (NACO) is working with the Counties to meet the requirements of this legislation.
