As the Nevada legislative session reaches its halfway point this week, lawmakers are up against a major deadline to pass bills out of a first committee.
If this doesn’t happen by Friday, the bills are considered dead. Today’s agenda includes a bill that would limit the spread of craft breweries – that is, a single site where beer is brewed and sold which usually has a restaurant.
Craft brewers have seen the measure as an attempt by big beer companies to stifle the competition. Democratic Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams sponsored the bill.
