SUMMARY--Commends Speakers pro Tempore for their 
          service. (BDR R-2176)




EXPLANATION--Matter in italics is new; matter in bra
ckets [ ] is material to be omitted.

ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION--Commending the Speakers pro Tempore of the 68th 
        session of the Nevada Legislature for their service.


  WHEREAS, It is customary that the members of 
the Assembly elect a Speaker pro Tempore to preside in the 
temporary absence of the Speaker and serve as a part of the 
leadership of the Assembly; and 
  WHEREAS, The equal division between the 
parties this session led to a unique sharing of leadership 
responsibilities and the election of two women to serve as 
Speakers pro Tempore; and
  WHEREAS, Jan Evans and Sandra Tiffany each 
brought to the office a refreshing perspective to complement 
the traditional notions of legislative leadership; and
  WHEREAS, Their individual service at the 
podium when presiding over the Assembly was efficient and 
effective, even when they served at a moment's notice; and
  WHEREAS, The importance of their 
additional contributions to the legislative process is not 
diminished by the fact that much of the work done by these 
strong leaders was accomplished quietly and without public 
recognition; and
  WHEREAS, The strength, compassion and 
commitment of these two Assemblywomen to the legislative 
process and the residents of this state must be recognized 
and commended; now, therefore, be it
  RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF 
NEVADA, That the members of the Assembly of the 68th 
session of the Nevada Legislature commend and extend their 
sincere thanks to Jan Evans and Sandra Tiffany for their 
dedicated and effective service as Speakers pro Tempore; and 
be it further
  RESOLVED, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly 
prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Jan Evans 
and Sandra Tiffany.
