Gov. Sandoval Vetoes Ely Dissolution, Sex Offender Bills

CARSON CITY (AP) — Gov. Brian Sandoval's veto total is up to six after he rejected measures about dissolving the City of Ely and changing rules on sex offender registration.

The Republican governor opted Wednesday to veto SB99, which would have repealed a provision banning Tier III sex offenders from going within 500 feet of a school, playground or other place used primarily by children.

Sandoval acknowledged there were merits to portions of the bill, but said it would place children at greater risk from the most dangerous sexual predators.

He also turned down SB238, which would have required an advisory ballot question within the City of Ely asking voters if they wanted to dissolve their city. Sandoval said the bill circumvents an existing process by which Ely residents could decide their own fate.
