A majority of the legislation that affects your business’ day-to-day operations probably comes from one place. Chances are it is not coming from City Hall, and it is probably not coming from Washington DC. If you live and work in Nevada, it probably comes from Carson City.
Nevada is one of only four states (along with Montana, North Dakota and Texas) who have biennial legislatures. That means that our legislature only convenes for a regular legislative session every other year. That being the case, if you have a business that is facing some regulatory or legislative challenges, it is imperative that you understand how that process works because if you miss an upcoming session you may have to wait for two years. I will be there to provide a brief presentation on that process and to answer any questions you may have.
What we can expect from the 2023 Legislative Session
Understanding the legislative process in Nevada as a whole
Understanding and recognizing the importance of the legislative calendar
Understanding the importance of budget negotiations and its effect on every potential piece of legislation
Understanding the importance of a fiscal note on any piece of legislation
