CARSON CITY -- The Assembly's fiscal panel this morning passed a bill that would get rid of the bulky newspapers that county assessors produce to publish the tax rolls.

The Assembly Ways and Means Committee adopted Assembly Bill 533 this morning, removing the requirement that assessors in large counties print the tax rolls. Instead the assessors may publish the information online.

"Personally I don't even see why we waste our time, money and effort publishing those things," Assemblywoman Chris Giunchigliani, D-Las Vegas, said in making her motion to include the amendment sought by Clark County Assessor Mark Schofield.
