Two bills from the 2015 Nevada Legislature that relate to voter identification and firearms on school properties have been revived for the 2017 session.

Today is the first day of the 2017 Legislative Session. Democrats control the Assembly, 27-15, and the Senate, 12-9. Governor Brian Sandoval is a Republican, however, and Democrats need two-third majorities to pass any tax increases or override a gubernatorial veto.
The 79th session of the Nevada Legislature convenes Monday, setting off a four-month lawmaking marathon that ends at the stroke of midnight June 5.
