Nevada state lawmakers are bound by a state constitutional requirement to approve revenue-generating decisions with two-thirds majority votes, the state Supreme Court decided Thursday.
In a decision with more than $100 million in implications for lawmakers now in session, the seven justices sided unanimously with Republican state lawmakers and rejected arguments by Democrats.
The court declared the “plain language of the supermajority provision” requires more than a simple majority to extend existing revenue sources. In 2019, legislative attorneys advised Democratic leaders that they could prolong two revenue streams with simple majority votes a Department of Motor Vehicles transaction fee and a payroll tax.
