Check out what’s on deck (so far) for this week!

Hi Friend, 

We have entered the final month of the Nevada legislative session! We are approaching the next Committee Passage deadline on May 19th, and all bills which are not exempt from deadlines must now pass the committee in the opposite house from which it originated. 

Before we get into the agenda, here's two more events we have coming up TODAY, Monday, May 8th. 

First, at 1PM today, Members of AFSCME Local 4041, our state workers union, will be holding a press conference at the Nevada Legislature covering their legislative priorities. They will have a livestream of the event on the AFSCME Local 4041 Facebook Page - make sure to tune in at 1PM and share the livestream to help signal boost these critical updates from our union brothers and sisters! 

Next, happening just afterwards at 1:30PM today, BBP's Executive Director, Annette Magnus, will be speaking to the Carson City Dems during their Monday luncheon! She'll be giving a legislative update on what priority legislation is moving (or not moving) in the capitol building. You can join virtually via Zoom - make sure to visit the Carson City Dems website and follow instructions on the calendar to sign up!

Finally, on Wednesday, May 10th, at 1:30PM in Assembly Commerce and Labor, there will be a bill hearing on SB131, a bill that would codify Governor Sisolak's executive order from last summer that protects abortion providers and out of state patients seeking an abortion in Nevada. We NEED support! 

  • Testify in support of SB131 in person or via phone. You can also send written testimony to [email protected].
  • Post on social media about the SB131 hearing. You can find our talking points and sample social here. 
  • Help us amplify Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada's legislative postcard which folks can fill out to easily send a message of support to the members of Assembly C&L.
