Nevada lawmakers gaveled into a special session on Thursday with a long list of items on their agenda, including a massive, multibillion-dollar expansion of film tax credits and revived versions of Gov. Joe Lombardo’s bill on criminal justice.

Unlike regular sessions of the Legislature, the bills’ subject matters are limited to the concepts outlined in the governor’s proclamation calling the special session. The special session agenda, however, is wide-ranging, with seven bills returning from the 2023 and 2025 regular legislative sessions, five new topics and 14 proposed expenditures.

Lombardo said the agenda he outlined “implements critical public safety measures, expands healthcare access, and supports good-paying jobs.”

Among the other initiatives and topic areas outlined in the proclamation are health care, labor standards, cybersecurity, social services and school zone safety.

Lombardo’s call also noted a need to implement safety measures for public servants and a new Silver State General Assistance Program (the governor didn't provide details on what that entails).
