Nevada Legislators Facing Bill Deadline Day

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada lawmakers are facing yet another legislative deadline that could seal the fate of several high-profile bills.

Most bills that are still in play have already passed out of the Assembly or Senate, depending on where they were introduced. The bills must pass from a committee in the other house by Friday to stay alive.

Lawmakers can exempt some bills from legislative deadline, but several hotly-debated measures could still be on the chopping block.

Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman Ira Hansen said he doesn't plan votes on measures allowing college campuses to ban tobacco and weakening Nevada's strong protections against defamation lawsuits.
