The 83rd session of the Nevada legislature is set to begin on Monday morning in Carson City, kicking off a 120-day period dedicated to setting the state’s budget and passing legislation. Over 1,000 bills are expected to be introduced during this four-month session, but only a fraction will make it through the legislative process to be signed into law by the governor. Former state Senator Heidi Gansert emphasized the challenges of passing legislation, stating that it is easy to kill a bill but difficult to pass one. With 63 members of the legislature and the governor to consider, finding common ground can be a daunting task. Journalist Ben Margiott provides insight into how a bill becomes a law in Nevada, highlighting the complex process involving committee hearings, amendments, and votes. As the legislature convenes, all eyes will be on the state capitol as lawmakers work to shape the future of Nevada through the passing of new legislation.
