LIVE BLOG: Nevada Legislature expands length of Special Session on Day 7
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The 36th Special Session has officially hit the week-mark on Wednesday morning, and legislators have agreed to extend their time in Carson City to work on additional bills.
Since 1867, this is the first time that lawmakers have independently called to meet on an urgent matter: affordable housing. The petition was signed early Wednesday to have the session address corporations buying up homes in the valley.
And notably, this bill has garnered bipartisan support.
In a release about the expansion, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro shared the following statement:
The focus of the expanded agenda will be the revival of SB391 (now SB10), a measure designed to curb the monopolization of the house market by Wall Street hedge funds and out-of-state corporations.
According to a release, the bill seeks to limit the number of homes corporate entities can purchase annually to reduce artificially inflated home prices and avoid squeezing out homebuyers.
As for other bills, the Senate passed the Governor-backed crime bill (AB4) after midnight Tuesday. After enrollment, it will head to Governor Lombardo’s desk.
Additionally, a new bill was introduced late into the night, which would tackle an extension of AB4: order-out corridors. If passed, Senate Bill 9 would clarify parameters around “ordering out” repeat offenders from the Strip.
Here’s the latest on other bills FOX5 has been tracking:
- Statewide Cybersecurity (AB1) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Alcohol Delivery (AB2) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Film Bill (AB5) – Waiting in General File for further discussion/vote.
- School Zone Bill (AB6) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- SNAP funding (SB3) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Windsor Park Relocation (SB6) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
FOX5 is giving you real-time updates on what’s happening in Carson City:
10:45 a.m. — Joint meeting of Senate and Assembly Committees on Jobs and Economy convenes to discuss SB10.
9:36 a.m. — Senate goes into recess.
9:05 a.m. — Senate convenes with roll call and a prayer. SB10 is formally introduced and referred to the committee. Some confusion from lawmakers about access to language of the bill, others clarify it should be available shortly.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — An avalanche in California’s Sierra Nevada on Monday buried a snowmobiler in snow and killed him, authorities said.
Rescuers responded after a 911 call around 2:20 p.m. reported a possible avalanche near Johnson Peak and Castle Peak in Truckee.
The snowmobiler was initially reported missing but then was found under the snow several minutes later, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Fellow recreationists found him but he didn’t survive despite lifesaving efforts, according to the statement.
Emergency personnel were working to safely extract the victim late Monday and to confirm no others were buried.
The sheriff’s office said more avalanches could occur and recommended that people avoid the area.
Each winter, 25 to 30 people die in avalanches in the U.S., according to the National Avalanche Center. The center’s current map shows high risk spots in Utah and Washington and areas of considerable risk in California, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming.
