Bill to abolish the death penalty stalls in Nevada Senate
Nevada will not join Washington D.C. and 22 other states in abolishing the death penalty.
Gov. Steve Sisolak and Democratic leaders in the state legislature announced Thursday that Assembly Bill 395 will not pass this session.

“At this time, there is no path forward for Assembly Bill 395 this legislative session,” Sisolak, a practicing Catholic with well-known reservations about repealing the death penalty, said. “I’ve been clear on my position that capital punishment should be sought and used less often, but I believe there are severe situations that warrant it.”
Democratic legislative leaders struck a similar note in statements issued minutes after Sisolak’s announcement.
Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, who has spent weeks stiff-arming questions about when the bill would get a hearing, said finding consensus on the bill was “unlikely” over the remaining two weeks of the session.
“This decision understandably will disappoint many advocates, but it will also not change our commitment to moving other critical legislation this session reforming policing practices, the bail system, and other important aspects of our criminal justice system,” Cannizzaro added.
Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson, who saw AB 395 pass on a strict party-line vote in his chamber, also looked to console activists who have spent decades trying to bar capital punishment in Nevada.
