“The Keep Nevada Working Act would establish a task force responsible for researching, developing strategies and providing recommendations for attracting and retaining immigrant workers and business owners.” https://t.co/3PsRAS6N4I

Landlords aren't allowed to withhold security deposits for repairs based on normal wear & tear. Yet many do.

#SB218 will require landlords to prove the tenant is responsible for unreasonable amounts of wear & tear.

#AB243 will protect minority juveniles in Nevada by requiring that the defendant's race be redacted during the charging process. The racial disparities in our system lead to BIPOC defendants serving longer sentences for similar crimes.

[NV Legislative Tracker @TrackerNv]

#AB125 will allow non-violent offenders (including category B felons) in Nevada to earn credits to shorten the minimum term of their sentences. This is good fiscal policy, as it will limit mass incarceration, and it is an excellent criminal justice reform. #nvleg

Two-thirds of Las Vegas traffic warrants go to Black and Brown people.

This is a racial justice issue. https://t.co/sfSqXTNRn8

The name Breonna Taylor galvanized nationwide protests for racial justice after she was brutally and senselessly killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police during the execution of a no-knock warrant. #SB50 #NVLEG https://t.co/MbN6XBSNNj

[Rochelle Thuy Nguyen @rochellenguyen]

I am proud to bring forward legislation to decriminalize minor traffic violations in Nevada. Right now, people who are unable to pay traffic fines for minor violations such as speeding or driving with a broken tail light can be arrested and even incarcerated. #nvleg [thread 1/2]

Today, I’m proud to share that @NVSenateDems passed an additional $50 million in grants to support and uplift small businesses.

It’ll help keep the lights on and sustain Nevada’s economy as we fight this public health crisis. #nvleg

The #NVleg must make #AB4 permanent.

#AB4 didn’t just make it easier to vote by mail--it made it easier to *vote*. It gave Nevadans OPTIONS, letting us choose how we wanted to vote. How? 👇🏻(THREAD)

[Assemblywoman Brittney Miller @BrittMiller4AD5]

We just voted #AB106 out of Ways & Means! We are headed back to the Floor tonight to vote on the largest small business support program in NV history. Qualifying small businesses impacted by pandemic can receive $10k grant! #nvleg #Nevada #smallbusiness

"Ending chokeholds in Nevada was a 35-year effort, and we finally did that in the state. But what is that worth if there aren't layers of accountability?” @welborn_holly with @ACLUNV. Hear more on the criminal justice reform being discussed this session. https://t.co/F5tdCtW5gq

Gov. Sisolak released a budget that includes no new taxes & $187M less spending than proposed ahead of the last 2-year cycle. The proposal cuts education funding, increases healthcare spending & relies on rosy forecasts to avert steep cuts many anticipated.https://t.co/UAQ58h8VsL
