LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The 36th Special Session has officially hit the week-mark on Wednesday morning, and legislators have agreed to extend their time in Carson City to work on additional bills.
Since 1867, this is the first time that lawmakers have independently called to meet on an urgent matter: affordable housing. The petition was signed early Wednesday to have the session address corporations buying up homes in the valley.
And notably, this bill has garnered bipartisan support.
In a release about the expansion, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro shared the following statement:
The focus of the expanded agenda will be the revival of SB391 (now SB10), a measure designed to curb the monopolization of the house market by Wall Street hedge funds and out-of-state corporations.
According to a release, the bill seeks to limit the number of homes corporate entities can purchase annually to reduce artificially inflated home prices and avoid squeezing out homebuyers.
As for other bills, the Senate passed the Governor-backed crime bill (AB4) after midnight Tuesday. After enrollment, it will head to Governor Lombardo’s desk.
Additionally, a new bill was introduced late into the night, which would tackle an extension of AB4: order-out corridors. If passed, Senate Bill 9 would clarify parameters around “ordering out” repeat offenders from the Strip.
