Nevada Legislature passes budget bill in special session.

Lawmakers in Nevada approved the last of the state's five budget bills in an emergency special session, sending the measure to Gov. Joe Lombardo as the final piece in a budget deal that crumbled at the 11th hour of the regular session. The new budget bill, AB1, is a carbon copy of the CIP budget bill that Senate Republicans blocked late Monday. The measure was identical to the failed AB521, and includes more than $1.4 billion in executive and legislative branch capital projects as well as reimplementing a statewide property tax necessary (and required, under the U.S. Constitution) to pay general obligation bonds issued by the state.
