Legislative Notes:
We have a major deadline this week on Tuesday, April 25th. Bills must pass affirmatively out of their houses of origin by Tuesday. Assembly bills must be voted out of the Assembly and Senate bills must be voted out of the Senate. Bills that make it through this deadline will move to the opposite house and start the committee process again.
The next deadline is May 19th when bills must pass affirmatively out of the second committee. The legislative session ends on June 5th.
The technical committee that prepares the revenue reports for the Economic Forum met on April 21st, you can watch the hearing here: t.ly/_AODO You can view the revenue charts here: t.ly/QOm-
In sum, there will be more revenue, but almost solely based on the higher interest rates our state investments have and will earn. You can hear Treasurer Conine’s explanation for this in the hearing above. States were able to invest American Rescue Plan funds while waiting to spend the funds on approved expenditures. All American Rescue Plan funds must be spent by December 2024.
The Economic Forum will meet on May 1st at 9:30 am to hear the reports created by the technical committee and apply any revisions to their revenue projections. These revisions can fund bills with pending fiscal notes.
You may watch the Economic Forum hearing from the Scheduled Meetings page: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Calendar/A/
Because of the pending deadline, floor sessions this week will be longer, and some committee meetings will be canceled.
