Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize yourself with how a bill becomes a law in the State of Nevada. Part of being the resident of a state is participating in how the laws that govern us come into being. We’re lucky enough that the 82nd session of the Nevada Legislature ended earlier this year, so there are plenty of new bills to choose from that have a recent history to view. It can be a long process with some bills never moving to the floor to be heard, or some moving through both houses only to be vetoed by the Governor. There are all sorts of bills for you to choose from including one about the incorporation of a city, and a proposal to make Nevada immune to Daylight Savings Time.
Bills that have begun the process can be found here: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021…

Fiscal Impact (State and Local)
Social Impact (State and Local)
Economic/ Business Impact (State and Local)
Rights Impact (Does this change how a resident would do/ be able to do something in the state?)
