CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) Nevada lawmakers on Tuesday passed dozens of bills through the state Senate and Assembly and diverted several others back to a key committee in order to ensure their priority proposals survived past a crucial deadline.
To remain under consideration in the 2021 legislative sessions, most bills unless granted exemptions were required to pass through a first chamber by the end of the day Tuesday. Lawmakers voted to pass bills to make “doxxing,” which is the publishing with malicious intent of private or identifying information about a person the internet, a crime, allow veterinarians to practice telemedicine and prohibit cat declawing. But by the afternoon, the fate of proposals to ban make-your-own “ghost guns and reform how the state tests drivers for cannabis use remain up in the air.

Nevada lawmakers are considering sending mail-in ballots to all active voters in future elections after passing a law last summer that directed election officials to do so to prevent the coronavirus from spreading at polling places. A legislative committee is scheduled on Thursday, April 1, 2021, to hear a proposal to make the policy permanent.John Locher/APShow MoreShow Less
