3. The Supreme Court Commission on Law Libraries shall:

(a) Advise the Supreme Court concerning the government, use and services of the Supreme Court Law Library, including, without limitation, any decisions made by the Supreme Court pursuant to subsection 1 and NRS 2.420 and 2.430;

(b) Coordinate the development of materials to aid persons who choose to represent themselves in litigation and other legal matters rather than retaining an attorney; and

6. Each member of the Supreme Court Commission on Law Libraries who is appointed pursuant to subsection 5 is entitled to receive a salary of $30,000 for each year that the justice serves on the Commission, payable in biweekly installments.
