Get StartedProposes to revise certain terms within the Nevada Constitution for individuals and entities who receive support from the State
A "Yes" Vote would amend the Nevada Constitution to: (1) revise the description of the persons who benefit from institutions that the State is required to foster and support; (2) replace the term "institutions" with "entities"; and (3) add entities for the benefit of persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities to the types of entities that the State is required to foster and support.
A "No" Vote vote would retain the existing language in the Nevada Constitution and would not add entities for the benefit of persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities to the types of entities that the State is required to foster and support.
"I am aware that when the Nevada Constitution was written, different terminologies were used to describe persons with disabilities or a mental illness. However, more than 156 years after Nevada was admitted into the Union, it is time to give these words a more critical look. We should change them to contemporary language that is not deemed to be discriminatory or narrow." - State Senator, Robin Titus, in support of State Question 2 (Learn more)
"Question 2 does not effectively address the broader issue of appropriate language use. Most Nevadans do not consult the Nevada Constitution to determine which terms are acceptable to use, and many Nevadans are likely unaware of their State's constitutional provisions. In fact, more than half of the respondents to a nationwide survey conducted by Johns Hopkins University did not know whether their state even had a constitution. This ballot measure is a misguided attempt to effect change to everyday language use." - Arguments during Public Comment, in opposition to State Question 2 (Learn more)
