The Legislature is working an array of bills Tuesday, including a bill that would reverse collective bargaining changes made by the Republican-controlled 2015 Legislature.
The Nevada Independent reports Senate Bill 356 would reverse a rule preventing local government agencies from offering raises to employees before a new union contract is adopted.
It also would undo language barring school administrators from joining unions based on a yearly salary of $120,000 or more. Those individuals would have to join a different union from the staff under their supervision.
Another measure in committee today aims to protect victims’ rights and help former convicts.
Marsy’s Law proposes the addition of a victim’s bill of rights to the state Constitution. It passed in 2015 and will appear on the 2018 ballot if approved this year.
Also, the Senate Judiciary Committee is looking a number of bills that would among other things seal certain offenders’ records, offer more transitional services to inmates before they’re released and reverse marijuana-related penalties.
