Final Week Update

5/30/2017

​Happy Memorial Day to you and your loved ones. Today is a day when we remember those who died during active military service. Although the Legislature is in session and we will be working today, I will make take time to remember those who have sacrificed for our freedom. And I once again want to thank my older brother Charles, who is a 20+ year active Marine with multiple tours overseas, for his service to our country.

A week from today is the last day of the Legislative session. That will make for a busy week, as we work hard to wrap up prior to Monday's night deadline.

Last week was a busy one as well, as we worked long hours to pass bills out of the Assembly. I was proud to attend four bill signings this week at the Governor's office (photos below):
  • On Monday, Governor Sandoval signed Assembly Bill 118, which we heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. That bill gives military members ages 18-20 the ability to obtain a concealed weapons permit.
  • On Tuesday, he signed Assembly Bill 135, which makes common-sense changes to our DUI laws.
  • On Wednesday, he signed Assembly Bill 247, which allows survivors of certain crimes to terminate a lease early to allow them to escape from dangerous situations. 
  • He also signed Assembly Bill 305 on Wednesday. That bill aims to identify and protect abuse and neglected children by requiring schools to post the phone number for the child abuse/neglect hotline.
I made a return appearance on Nevada Newsmakers this week. You can listen to that and other interview I'm featured on at my media page

Yours in service,
Steve

I joined Assemblyman Daly for the signing of his bill, Assembly Bill 118, which allows military members age 18-20 to obtain their Nevada concealed weapon permit. We heard the bill in my Assembly Judiciary Committee.

Really proud of our two Touro University Nevada student doctors (and military members) who worked hard to help us develop a better marijuana DUI law based on science.
