History

The department has been in operations since 1917, when the Nevada Tax Commission was established. [3] It was only in 1975 that the Department of Taxation was created and the commission became part of its ruling body, serving as the head of the department. [4] The members of the commission are always chosen by the governors, and as of 2021, consists of eight members. [5]

Structure

Unlike most state agencies, the Department of Taxation does not have any divisions, though there are several boards and commissions that have remained active since 1917, such as the Nevada Tax Commission and the State Board of Equalization. Aside from the two, three other groups existed, namely the Mining Oversight and Accountability Commission, Appraiser Certification Board, and Committee on Local Government Finance. [5]

Secretary of state (U.S. state government)

Secretary of state is an official in the state governments of 47 of the 50 states of the United States, as well as Puerto Rico and other U.S. possessions. In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, this official is called the secretary of the commonwealth. In states that have one, the secretary of state is the chief clerk of the state and is often the primary custodian of important state records. In the states of Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah, there is no secretary of state; in those states many duties that a secretary of state might normally execute fall within the domain of the lieutenant governor. Like the lieutenant governor, in most states, the secretary of state is in the line of succession to succeed the governor, in most cases immediately behind the lieutenant governor. In three states with no lieutenant governor as well as the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, the secretary of state is first in the line of succession in the event of a gubernatorial vacancy.
