The Nevada Legislative Commission has voted to appeal a ruling that disqualified legislative lawyers from representing Democrats in a lawsuit over the constitutionality of two tax measures.
A judge previously agreed with Republicans in November that the Legislative Counsel Bureau cannot represent one group of lawmakers in a legal battle against another group of lawmakers.
He disqualified the bureau from representing the majority Democrats in the State Senate but allowed the legal division to stay on the case.
The Nevada Appeal reports the commission voted Monday along party lines to appeal the ruling.
