Capitol News - Special Session Slated Because Of Three Words "Not To Exceed" Hy Melvin Paul Statchotise <'orr.sp,,ixlint Tlx* Nebraska Press Atvoriation LINCOLN—It will cost Nebras kans about $10,000 this year for special sessions of the Legisla ture The second extraordinary meeting of the lawmakers this year is slated for December The first was held in August. Gov. Dwight Burney suggested the forthcoming gathering, to per mit senators taking office in Jan uary to receive higher pay au thorized by the voters in Novem ber. In August, the late Gov. Ralph C. Brooks summoned the so ions to take acti< n to boost the state’s industry getting iiotential. They did and an amendment to (to that was also approved at the polls in November The problem on the higher pay U that the Constitutional amendment which passed in No vember needs legislation to fix the levy of |»av since its word ing does not do that. It mere ly sets a ceiling of $200 per month. Lawmakers now get $872 per year. It is expected there will be a little troubde in setting the pay at the maximum $2t)0 per month on the theory that’s the figure the voters approved. The salary may very well produce mure younger members of the one house body who in the past have not been able to serve because of the time required away from their jobs, and the corres ponding loss in income. Board Of Control It |(x>ks like trouble ahead for the present Board of Control sys tem for managing state institu tions. The three-member board, whose membership is named by the governor to six-year terms, r- — ' ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ has weathered several storms in the Legislature But most veteran observers now feel the “hand writing is on the wall," in the one coming up in Jaunary As rspected, a committee of state senator* who studied U»e board operations the pant 18 month*, recommended changes. Including enlargement of the board to a seven member "po licy -making only" group. Also recommended was a sep arate department of public wel fare, a fundi n now handled by the board, with all state insti tutions under a director hired by the board. It was felt by the committee that the Catad school for the Trainable Mentally Retarded be removed from jurisdiction cl the board and placed under the State Department of Edjcation. Two board institutions already are under jurisdiction of the Ed ucation Department — Schools for the Blind at Nebraska City and the Deaf at Omahu. There is liable to be a sizeable scrap in the Leg.slature over what type of an operation to have in managing state institutions but many senators checked felt the prisent three-member board sys tem would definitely be altered. The big problem in the last ses sion was lack of a suitable sub stitute for abolishment of the board which fell th y have provid ed this time. legislative Council The 1961 Legislature will be faced with many state problems, some of which have already been researched by committees and re commendations made. About 60 per cent of recommendations by committees of the Legislative Council, which is really the Le gislatore sitting as a study group, --r\ become law Thus, some of the following recommendations, will become law in 1961: Abolishment of the Present Board of Pardons, composed of three elected officials, and sub stitution of a permanent board of the same size The governor, sec rotary of state and attorney gen eral now comprise the board Registration of all voters in the state, instead of only in the pnn cipaicipal cities as now is the case Establishment of a State Labor Relations Act, to govern activities between employers. Boosting of the state property tax levy for parks from .13 of a mill to .35 of a mill. Ihe latter would be 35 cents tax for each $1,000 assessed worth of property owned by a Nebraskan. Creation of an office of the ag ing to handle problems of older people in Nebraska. Tightening of laws describing when property owned by charit able, religious or fraternal or ganizations shall be exempt frem property taxes. Collection of nuscellanous taxes by the tax commissioner instead of the Agriculture Department as now is the case. Insurance Business State Insurance Director Will iam Grubbs says states have a challenge to meet if they, in stead of the federal government, are to continue regulating the insurance indastry. This was part > f his argument for $30,'J(H) more in tax money for the 1951-63 biennium. Nebraska now receives all tax es from insurance premiums which amount to about $4 million per year, Grubbs said, half of wh.ch goes to operate state gov ernment and the remainder to the 93 counties.
