Nicole Cannizzaro, Democrat Senate majority leader, introduced SB131. This codifies the executive order of former Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak. Steve Sisolak, following the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs.

Cannizzaro sent a thank you tweet to Lombardo for “following through on his promise to ensure that Nevada will not participate in prosecutions against women who come to Nevada to exercise their reproductive right.”
