Nevada Senate to take up Sandoval's vetoes

Week two of the 2017 Legislature kicks off with the Senate taking up the five pieces of that body’s legislation vetoed by Gov. Brian Sandoval in 2015.

SB99 would have repealed the provision banning sex offenders from going within 500 feet of a school or playground used by children. He said it would have placed children at greater risk from predators.
