  • Lawmakers approved a housing measure allocating $133 million for new affordable housing projects targeting the “missing middle.”
  • A final-day compromise paired new voter ID requirements with expanded mail-ballot drop box access ahead of next year’s election.
  • An expansion of Nevada’s film tax credit program backed by Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. died after Senate floor delays led by Sen. Ira Hansen.
