The League of Women Voters of Nevada is tracking the following bills the week of May 28, 2019. If you are interested in how we select bills for tracking, please see the LWV US “Impact on Issues 2018-2020,” which details the League’s approved issues and positions. https://www.lwv.org/impact-issues
We are a non-partisan organization that does not promote nor work directly with either political party or candidates, but we do advocate for issues that align with our mission. Issues and positions are vetted, studied, and approved through a rigorous consensus process. You can learn more about League here: https://www.lwv.org/

The 2019 legislative session ends on June 3rd at midnight, so hearings will be scheduled on an as-needed basis. The two committees with the most work will be Assembly Ways and Means and Senate Finance. These two committees decide how much money will be allocated to each budget as well as to bills that have fiscal notes.
Floor sessions could be long this week as remaining bills receive their final votes.
