Republican Senate leader Michael Roberson introduced two emergency measures into the Senate on Friday, including a constitutional change implementing the Equal Rights Amendment into the state Constitution but exempting abortion, and reviving a dead measure proposed by Attorney General Adam Laxalt.

Roberson introduced two of his allotted three emergency bills on Friday, with less than two weeks left in the session, in the form of SJR16 and SB542.

The Republican Senate leader’s office announced SB542 earlier on Friday, which would allow the State Board of Parole Commissioners to place additional restrictions on sex offenders under lifetime supervision. It copied over provisions from AB59, which was sponsored by Laxalt’s office and failed to advance past the first committee deadline.

“This session will go down as the most pro-felon in history,” Roberson said in a statement. “It’s time we stand up for safer communities and ensure sex offenders are held accountable.”

The attorney general’s office quickly applauded Roberson for introducing the bill, with Laxalt in a statement asking legislators to “put politics aside to carefully consider the lasting impact this measure will have on supervising dangerous members of our communities.”

Laxalt is widely considered to be considering a gubernatorial bid in 2018, and Roberson has signaled interest in running for lieutenant governor.

The second measure introduced by Roberson had a little less notice — SJR16, a proposed constitutional amendment that would copy over language from the Equal Rights Amendment into Nevada’s state Constitution. The constitutional change would specify that the protections do not create or secure “any right relating to abortion or the funding thereof.”

State lawmakers in March voted to ratify the federal amendment in March, 35 years after the deadline to do so. All Republicans besides Assemblywoman Jill Tolles and Senator Heidi Gansert voted against the measure.

Nevada voters in 1990 approved a ballot question that prohibited the state’s existing laws on abortion from being “amended, repealed or otherwise changed, except by a direct vote of the people.”

Under Senate and Assembly rules, the leaders of the minority party are allowed to introduce three bills after normal legislative deadlines.
