CARSON CITY -- A legislative subcommittee that will monitor how stimulus money the state gets is spent has set a date for its first meeting.

The 12-member subcommittee plans to meet Monday in Carson City. The panel is a subcommittee of the Interim Finance Committee.

Subcommittee leader Assemblywoman Debbie Smith, D-Sparks, said the goal is to make sure Nevada's funding from the recovery package is spent to help the state's economy recover and create jobs.

On the agenda for the first meeting is an examination of stimulus funds received by the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation and the Department of Education.

Monday's meeting will be transmitted by videoconference to the Sawyer Building in Las Vegas.
