L earn by doing with the
Nevada Senate! uLegislate
is an educational program
designed for adult and student
groups alike. Participants take on
the roles of officers and members
of the Nevada Senate, debating
relevant topics and learning how
the legislative process works. This
one-hour simulation provides new
perspectives on the challenges of
elective office. Community groups,
chambers of commerce, church
groups, service clubs, business
associations and students are natural
audiences for this unforgettable
experience.
Identify Your Role!
Take on the role of a Senator, the Lieutenant Governor or the Secretary of the Senate and learn how they work together to ensure a well-run Senate Floor Session.
Debate Bills!
There are a variety of bills you can choose to consider. Should the Nevada Senate urge Congress not to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or its most important provisions? Should the State of Nevada recognize the last Saturday in September of each year as “Public Lands Day”? Should students be required to pass an examination in civics as a condition of receiving credit for a course of American government? These compelling topics form the backdrop for your unique legislative experience.
Cast Your Vote!
When debate on each bill ends, it is time to vote! And, when you push the actual buttons your Senators use to cast their votes, it is your name that appears on the vote board in the Senate Chamber! Learn how many votes are needed to pass legislation, and experience the pressures of elective office.
Monthly sessions will be held August 2019—August 2020.
