Some new Nevada electronic documents.

Although a lot of government documents are put out by the federal government (because the Government Printing Office is one of the largest single publishers in the world), we also try to focus on state-published documents because, hey, those are put out by government too.

Here are a few electronic documents published out of Nevada:

Nevada HealthNet: this project is sponsored by the University of Nevada School of Medivine, Savitt Medical Library. The resources were hand-picked by medical library staff. Look here for local health services and resources. It's free!

Taxpayers' Bill of Rights: this file is put together by the Nevada Department of Taxation. It gives a quick rundown of your rights as a taxpayer and includes contact telephone numbers and addresses for if you need help.

State of Nevada Register of Administrative Regulations: this page gives you year-by-year regulations going back to 1999. You can look up regulations by subject or by number and read the full text of each regulation. It also provides an alphabetical list of agency names so you can tell which agencies are affected by new or different regulations.

Nevada Traffic Crash Data: although the newest data on this page is from 2006, there's an update coming this fall. In this publication the Nevada Department of Transportation provides incredibly detailed information on car crashes in Nevada: how many collisions, severity of collisions, types of vehicles involved, whether alcohol or drugs were involved, demographics of drivers involved in crashes, even pedestrian and bicycle collisions.

This is kind of a grab-bag post to give you an idea of the kinds of government information your local Nevada government has available online!
