Vote Nevada Supporters,

Our viewing of “The Young Vote” with special guest producer/director Diane Robinson was fabulous, and the film is just phenomenal.   If you would like to view the film, please respond to this message by April 7^th.

We are heading into week 9 of the legislative session.  The next three deadlines are already driving the overall agenda.  Tuesday, April 4^th, is the day budgets must start to close for the state agencies.  All bills must pass out of their first committee by Friday, April 14^th.  And all bills must receive a vote on the floor of their first house by Tuesday, April 25^th.  Any bill that misses one of these deadlines is technically dead.

Of course, any of these deadlines can be postponed and individual bills can be granted deadline exceptions; but these options will get harder to exercise the closer we get to the constitutionally required end of the session, which is June 5^th.

You can see this week’s scheduled hearings for a wide range of bills and budgets here: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Calendar/A/
