Nevada lawmakers have returned to Carson City, but COVID-19 safety restrictions are making some Nevadans worried they won’t have access to their elected representatives.
The 81st session of the Nevada state Legislature began Monday, Feb. 1. Normally, the public has access to the Legislative Building. Community members, activists and lobbyists have the opportunity to attend hearings, observe how elected representatives vote on the issues and speak with legislators face-to-face.
