PAL Program Thanks Nevada Attorney Volunteers
The State Bar of Nevada and its Law-Related Education program extend their thanks to all of the Nevada attorneys who volunteered their time and expertise to the Street Law, Inc. program, Parents and the Law (PAL). The PAL curriculum is designed to help young parents strengthen their families and to prevent child abuse and neglect.
Attorneys gave their time to this worthy effort
by providing Nevada-specific information on topics including parents’
responsibility, what is child support, what is a family, abuse vs. neglect,
and consumer law. Volunteers included Alison Colvin, Rebecca Burin, Greta Muirhead, Maricar Magana, Kari T. Molnar, Amy Pincolini-Ford, Chelsie
Campbell, Gerard Costantian and Jordan Savage. Special thanks go to Kari
Molnar and Jordan Savage. Kari also participated in a portion of the
teacher-training session on June 11. Jordan Savage provided support
information for no fewer than seven of the lessons for the
curriculum. Law-related education programs are stronger because of the time
devoted by these and other volunteers.

New Laws: The Model Resident Agent Act
As a result of the passage of SB 242 during the 2007 session of the Nevada Legislature, new laws regarding the duties of resident agents in Nevada went into effect Tuesday, July 1, 2008.
The new laws change the term “resident agent” to “registered agent,” create two categories of registered agents and change the requirements for provisions regarding the address the registered agents file with the Secretary of State. Most of the changes made under The Model Resident Agent Act (MoRAA) are designed to make Nevada consistent with other states.
For more information on the changes, see the Secretary of State’s press release, and for forms and regulation workshop dates, visit the Nevada Secretary of State’s office or visit their website at http://www.nvsos.gov/.
