The Legislature wrapped up a 12-day special session on Sunday, one of the longest in the state’s history.

Gov. Steve Sisolak is expected to call a second special session during which lawmakers will address a number of policy priorities, including criminal justice reform, worker protections and election changes. Until then, here are some of the photos from the final day of 2020’s first special session captured by The Nevada Independent’s David Calvert.
