In his January State of the State address, the Governor announced his priorities for the 80th Legislative Session which included collective bargaining for state employees, providing pay raises for teachers, modernizing the State’s K-12 public schools funding formula, and raising the Renewable Portfolio Standard to 50% by 2030. Issues all passed by this legislature. While hearings started slowly because of the number of new legislators and the number of new committee chairs, the 80th Legislative Session ended on time. Before the session even began there were five legislative vacancies to fill, another two once session commenced, and Assemblyman Tyrone Thompson’s seat (D-Clark AD 17) remained vacant throughout the remainder of the session following his untimely passing in May. • Senator Dallas Harris (D-Clark SD 11) was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Aaron Ford’s mid- term election as Nevada Attorney General. • Senator Chris Brooks (D-Clark SD 3) was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Tick Segerblom’s mid- term election to the Clark County Commission. • Assemblywoman Rochelle Nguyen (D-Clark AD 10) was appointed to fill Assemblyman Chris Brooks’ seat following his appointment to the Senate. • Assemblywoman Bea Duran (D-Clark AD 11) was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Olivia Diaz’s resignation to run for Las Vegas City Council, a seat she won in the 2019 Municipal Election. -

Where Do We Go from Here?
TAX TOPICS An electronic publication of the Nevada Taxpayers Association ♦ Serving the citizens of Nevada since 1922. ISSUE 20-3 December 19, 2020 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? There is no question that when the new decade rolled around this past January no one envisioned 2020 as it currently exists. Fortunately 2021 is around the corner, and brings hope with it that the end of COVID-19 is near and some sense of normalcy will return. Unfortunately, at least for the beginning of 2021, Nevadans and the rest of the nation’s citizens will be dealing with a number of unknowns. At a state level some of these unknowns include the following (not necessarily in any particular order). Will we still be subject to emergency orders by the Governor? Will the Legislature be open for in-person interaction or will it operate virtually as it did for the two special sessions this summer? What will be the reaction to all the initiatives? Will both legislative political parties in Nevada be able to agree on revenue raising issues which might come before them? Will Congress pass a stimulus package that includes state and local governments so that budget cuts can be fully or partially restored? Will enough people take advantage of the approved COVID vaccines to provide “herd immunity” so the economy can begin to return to normal? ECONOMIC FORUM FORECAST The Nevada Economic Forum has completed their initial revenue forecast for the 2021-2023 biennium. The projections established by the Forum indicate available revenue for the upcoming budget cycle to be roughly $8.5 billion over two years. -
