Text of measure
Title
According to the Nevada Secretary of State's office, the ballot question read as follows:[3]
Shall the Sales and Use Tax Act of 1955 be amended to authorize the Legislature to amend or repeal any provision of this Act only if necessary to resolve a conflict with any federal law or interstate agreement for the administration, collection, or enforcement of sales and use taxes?
Media editorial positions
Opposition
- The Reno Gazette-Journal was opposed to Question 3. "Do you trust the Legislature to make such changes, or do you feel more comfortable trusting voters. This proposal again takes away our right to vote," said the editorial board.[4]
Path to the ballot
A majority vote was required (in two successive sessions) of the Nevada State Legislature to qualify the proposed measure for the 2010 ballot.
