Nevada Law on distributing state law books and taxation of imported stock
The Nevada legislature in 1901 approved acts detailing state book distribution duties. It requires the Secretary of State to mail one copy of Supreme Court Reports and laws to county officers, stamp books, and maintain receipts. It also imposes penalties for noncompliance and directs enforcement by sheriffs and other officers. A second act taxes livestock driven into the state for pasturage, mandating personal property assessment and annual tax payment by the owner or keeper, with enforcement provisions and liabilities for officials who fail in duty.
