LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A special session of the Nevada Legislature will start tomorrow, state officials said Wednesday.
The special session will begin tomorrow at 10 a.m., according to a release from the Governor’s office.
“Nevadans deserve action now – not years from now – on legislation that implements critical public safety measures, expands healthcare access, and supports good-paying jobs,” Lombardo said in the release. “By calling this special session, we are reaffirming our responsibility to act decisively and deliver meaningful results for the people of Nevada.”
In October, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo publicly called for the special session, saying that he would make it official in the coming months.
“The goal will be to finish what the Legislature left unfinished — plain and simple,” Lombardo said in the release.
According to the release, the session will consider bills including:
- Senate Bill 194 (1st Reprint): Concerning insurance requirements for short-term vehicle leases.
- Senate Bill 434 (3rd Reprint): Establishing the Statewide Health Care Access and Recruitment Grant Program to address provider shortages across Nevada.
- Senate Bill 457 (2nd Reprint): Revising provisions related to public safety, juvenile justice, pretrial release, and opioid use disorder.
- Assembly Bill 238 (2nd Reprint): Enacting the Nevada Studio Infrastructure Jobs and Workforce Training Act to promote motion picture and media production in the state.
- Assembly Bill 404 (2nd Reprint): Revising laws governing the sale and regulation of alcoholic beverages.
- Senate Bill 450 (1st Reprint), 82nd Session: Continuing relocation efforts for residents of Windsor Park in North Las Vegas.
- Assembly Bill 600 (as introduced): Clarifying provisions related to legislative property, publication procedures, and statutory organization.
Additionally, the Legislature is expected to consider:
- Cybersecurity: Establishing the Security Operations Center and Cybersecurity Talent Pipeline Program within the Office of the Chief Information Officer.
- General Assistance: Creating the Silver State General Assistance Program within the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services.
- School Zone Safety: Increasing penalties and expanding local authority over school zone traffic enforcement.
- Public Officer Privacy: Expanding confidentiality protections for certain personal information and campaign-related expenses.
- Wages and Hours: Aligning Nevada labor standards with federal law.
