Nevada’s governor vetoed the attorney general’s bill to ban price fixing of essential goods. AB 44 would have specifically criminalized businesses from manipulatively increasing the cost of housing, medicine, and food, among other things, outside of regular supply and demand. But it faced steep opposition during the legislative session from chambers of commerce and business owners concerned about being penalized for simply raising their prices.

Republican Governor Joe Lombardo broke Nevada’s veto record that he previously set two years ago. He vetoed 87 bills, including one requiring Voter ID. In the final days of the legislative session, Democratic Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager tacked on an amendment to an existing election bill that would have required Voter ID starting with next year’s election. In his veto message, the governor says he wholeheartedly supports voter ID, but the legislation created inconsistencies for mail ballots.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed two laws criminalizing certain types of pornography made by artificial intelligence. This legislative session, lawmakers aimed to address the evolving technology. The governor signed two bills. One outlawed computer-generated sexually explicit content of minors. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, who co-sponsored the bill, said that it’s a win for children, families, and public safety.
