All the Bills Are In! — Update on Week 8 of Legislative Session

Here are the latest Bill Highlights from Our Members

This marks the eighth week of the 82nd Nevada Legislative ssion. On Monday, the 27th, all bills were officially introduced in the Assembly. For the rest of session, we’ll have hearings and work sessions in committee and votes on the Assembly Floor. As always, our Republican Caucus members are fighting for our legislative priorities and supporting Governor Lombardo’s initiatives in every way.

This week, our members presented many bills before committee, dealing with everything from cutting down on bureaucracy involved in selling your car to limiting taxes on premium cigars to promoting geothermal energy in the Silver State.
