AB230: "Election Night, not Election Week"

Assembly members Gray, Gurr, Yurek, and Gallant have all signed their name to this bill requiring mail ballots be received by the last day of early voting. We've seen our election drag out for weeks and this is a great step towards ensuring our elections are decided on election night not election week.

SB200: "Education Savings Accounts"

This bill would reestablish Education Savings Account which will allow more money to follow the student and assist with their preferred choice of schooling, as opposed to having money allocated to a failing system.

AB194: "Safety in Schools"

This bill introduced by Assemblywoman Hansen would allow violent students to be expelled from public schools. Currently there is an age requirement for exemption to expulsion. This bill seeks to keep both students and teachers safer in our schools.

BAD LEGISLATION

Note: To read the bill, see sponsor information, or leave a public opinion, please click the title of the bills below.



AB115: "Safe Injection Sites"

From Assemblyman Hafen: "another bad bill looking to create heroin injection sites in our state. Rather than stopping the drug problem in our state, we have members of the Assembly who want to make it easier and safer for people to shoot up heroin."

SB142: "Homeless Bill of Rights"

Have you seen San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle lately? This bill would even further the issues we see in Nevada with homeless encampments and turn our beautiful state into our neighbors to the West.

SB162: "Polling Places in Jails"

While Republican leaders are proposing common sense election reform, such as Voter I.D., Democrats are proposing their own radical election reforms. This bill would require officials to open unique polling locations in city and county jails for inmates. It even goes as far as to require clerks to coordinate from one county to another to retrieve or collect ballots if the prisoner is registered to vote in a county different from where they are imprisoned.
