The act takes effect upon passage and approval.

The organization of the Nevada Revised Statutes by the Legislative Counsel must not be treated as a decision about where a government office, agency, court, or other entity belongs. The rule applies to the Legislative Counsel’s work compiling, organizing, revising, and publishing Nevada statutes. Organizing statutes by subject cannot be read as placing an entity outside Nevada’s three branches of government. The provision concerns the arrangement of the statute books, not the powers or duties of the entities listed. The act takes effect upon passage and approval.
