(
Robert Davis) – Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s emergency powers lack legal authority under state law, a report by a free market think tank argues.
The
report, by the Nevada Policy Research Institute (NPRI), lays out three amendments lawmakers should consider adding to Nevada’s Emergency Powers of the Governor Act. They include making it harder to misrepresent an emergency, limiting the duration of an emergency declaration, and requiring emergencies to pose an immediate threat before the governor’s powers are invoked.
