Here’s what this week in #nvleg will look like (so far)...
Hi Friend, 

This week begins what many of us lovingly call the endgame portion of the
Legislative Session – when the five big budget bills legislators are
constitutionally mandated to work on and (generally) a time when anything
can happen. From now on, most things will be happening during floor
sessions and money committees and schedules for everything will be
ever-changing. 

We also have a deadline this Friday for bills to make it through their
second house passage. There’s going to be a lot to do in the next few
weeks, so read ahead to see how you can help! 

As you may already know, Governor Lombardo decided to side with the
extremists of his party base instead of the public safety of Nevadans by
vetoing a gun violence prevention bill like SB171. This bill would prevent
Nevadans convicted of a hate crime from purchasing a firearm for up to ten
years.

CALL OF THE CHAIR - SENATE FINANCE

* Call of the Chair means this meeting will happen whenever the chair of
the committee calls it to order. It can be any time of the day. 
* During this meeting - the five big budget bill draft requests we
mentioned earlier, will be introduced. Here’s what those are: 

* BDR S-1207 Authorizes expenditures by agencies of the State
Government for the 2023-2025 biennium. 
* BDR S-1208 Ensures sufficient funding for K-12 public education
for the 2023-2025 biennium. 
* BDR S-1210 Makes various changes regarding state financial
administration and makes appropriations for the support of the
civil government of the State for the 2023-2025 biennium. 
* BDR S-1211 Authorizes and provides funding for certain projects
of capital improvement. 
* BDR S-1212 Provides for compensation of state employees for the
2023-2025 biennium.

     How you can help:

* Budget bills are different than other bills but crucial since this is
our tax dollars being put to work. These are the bills that will fund
education and our entire government. 
* THIS is the budget you have been hearing Gov. Lombardo is threatening
to veto. So it is CRUCIAL to monitor the conversations regarding these
budgets from the BEGINNING. If this budget is vetoed, the government
could shut down. 
* So, the way you can help is to stay informed on these budget bills and
stay tuned on updates from us on how to advocate for passing a budget
and holding Gov. Lombardo accountable.
