CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada Senate committee has passed a bill that would require background checks on gun sales and private transfers.
The legislation Tuesday afternoon passed out of the Senate committee along party lines. Lawmakers from both the Assembly and the Senate spent a large portion of the day listening to public comment on the bill during a joint meeting.
The legislation Tuesday afternoon was only voted on my members of the Senate committee and not members of the Assembly.
Senate Majority Leader Kelvin Atkinson says it is likely the bill will be voted on tomorrow.
