(Plain‑Language, Neutral, Public‑Facing)

1. What is the Corporate Powers Clarification Act?
   It is a statutory initiative that adds a new section to Nevada law clarifying that corporations are artificial entities created by statute and possess only the powers granted to them by the Legislature.
2. Does this initiative change how businesses operate in Nevada?
   No. The measure does not restrict a corporation’s ability to conduct lawful business, enter contracts, own property, or perform normal commercial activities.
3. Does this initiative affect the rights of shareholders, employees, or officers?
   No. The initiative does not alter the rights of natural persons who own, work for, or manage corporations. Their individual constitutional rights remain unchanged.
4. Does this initiative create new penalties or regulations?
   No. The measure is written as a clarification of existing law. It does not create new penalties, fees, or regulatory requirements.
5. Why does the initiative say corporations do not have “inherent or inalienable rights”?
   The initiative restates a long‑established legal principle: natural persons have inherent rights, while corporations have only the powers granted by statute. Supporters believe placing this clarification directly in law helps prevent misinterpretation.

   Yes. It applies to all corporations operating in Nevada, whether they are formed in Nevada or elsewhere.
