CARSON CITY — The Nevada Legislature’s website is back up after being down most of the week.

Legislative Counsel Bureau Director Rick Combs said early Saturday that AT&T restored service.

Wildfires in Northern Nevada had damaged the provider’s circuits, causing the outage late Monday.

The outage also prevented lawmakers from accessing their state email accounts.

Looks like #nvleg web site is back up! Got over 200 emails this morning.

— Jim Wheeler (@Wheeler4Nevada) July 8, 2017

“Looks like #nvleg web site is back up! Got over 200 emails this morning,” tweeted Assemblyman Jim Wheeler, R-Gardnerville. Earlier in the week, he tweeted out to constituents he couldn’t access his legislative emails and wasn’t ignoring them.

The website is www.leg.state.nv.us.
