The Nevada Legislature adjourned sine die June 1.
In the last day of the session, the Legislature passed bills to license cannabis lounges; overhaul state voting policies; change the date of the state’s presidential primary; and mandate all active voters be sent a mail-in ballot in future elections.
Earlier in the year, Nevada passed a bill changing the definition of lobbyist to remove the provision requiring an appearance in person in the Legislative Building or any other building in which the Legislature or any of the standing committees hold meetings.
This does affect lobbyist reporting.
The July 10 lobbyist activity report for activity in June, must be filed before the termination and final report due July 1.
