3 things to watch for on Legislative Session Day 39
Here are three things to watch for Day 39 of the 2017 Legislative session:
1. Weighted funding formula. One session after passing the largest tax increase in state history to fund education, Sen. Mo Denis, D-Las Vegas, wants more. SB178, up in Senate Education at 3:30 p.m., would institute weighted student funding at a cost of $1.3 billion
2. Encouraging competition. Sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Wheeler, R-Gardnerville, AB240 would reduce regulation in the motor carrier industry. It’s up in Assembly Transportation at 3:15 p.m.
3. Two-sided copies. Assemblywoman Heidi Swank, D-Las Vegas, has proposed AB264, which would mandate that all government printers default to two-sided copying. Assembly Government Affairs will consider it at 8:30 a.m.
