Legislative Update: Week Of April 27, 2015

League Supporters,

This week includes an important legislative milestone on Friday May 1st when the Economic Forum reviews current economic data and confirms revenue projections for the next biennium.

The Governor and legislature are bound to budget within these projections; if either wishes to spend money beyond the Forum’s numbers, taxes must be increased. Currently, both are using the Economic Forum’s December 2014 projections for budgeting purposes.

You can read more about the Economic Forum here: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Interim/77th2013/Committee/NonLeg/EcForum/?ID=24
