Film tax credit, crime bills could get votes on Day 6 of Nevada special session
The end may be near for the Nevada Legislature’s special session, with votes potentially coming (but timing uncertain) on the two most significant items on the agenda.
Film tax credit expansion (AB5) and Gov. Joe Lombardo’s criminal justice package (AB4) are still awaiting votes in the Senate. Enough time has passed that lawmakers do not need to suspend rules to hold a vote on the bill, but negotiations behind the scenes are still continuing.
Those key bills are among the five proposals that have yet to pass out of both chambers. The other three are:
- AB6, which enacts stricter traffic rules near schools
- SB4, an appropriations bill that funds a variety of state programs, including administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
- SB5, a bill to create a grant program to decrease health care provider shortages
SB6, a measure to relocate residents of the Windsor Park neighborhood in North Las Vegas, advanced to Lombardo’s desk after the Senate concurred on an Assembly amendment to the bill. The Assembly also passed two bills Monday evening to clarify what is considered a work-related lung disease (SB7) and appropriate $2.2 million for legislative security (SB2).
