Governor Brian Sandoval laid out his budget proposal during his final State of the State Address, in January.  Six months later, almost all of those requests have the legislature's approval, and his signature on them. 

First responders in Nevada now have a little extra protection under the law, with a bill signed Wednesday. Governor Sandoval signed SB541 on the state capitol grounds, enhancing the penalties for crimes against police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel.
