Supreme Court Blocks Lower Court Ruling In Payroll Tax Lawsuit

The Nevada Supreme Court agreed to temporarily block a lower court’s ruling in a lawsuit over state taxes, according to the Nevada Independent.

The lower court prohibited state legislative attorneys from representing individual lawmakers in the lawsuit over payroll taxes.

The lawsuit was filed by Republican state senators challenging a 2019 bill that removed a scheduled decrease in the state’s payroll tax rate without a two-thirds majority usually required for any change in taxes.

The court scheduled 30-minute oral arguments in the appeal for Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.
