CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The studio that broadcasts the Nevada Legislature's activities on television and online is getting a nearly $1 million update.
The Nevada Appeal reported Sunday that the studio's system will change from low-definition, analog sound and pictures to high-def digital.
Much of the work will be done before lawmakers get back into full swing.
Legislative Counsel Bureau Director Rick Combs says the makeover is needed because the studio system's core equipment is outdated and won't be repairable after this year.
Combs says the man who has kept the old system running for the past 15 years is retiring.
Unappropriated money from the Legislative Fund will cover the roughly $970,000 cost.
The studio is used by the Legislature as well as by executive branch agencies across the state.
