A proposed ban on private prisons in Nevada will not move forward after Gov. Brian Sandoval’s veto.
Assembly Bill 303 is among more than two dozen measures to be vetoed.
Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno, D-North Las Vegas, sponsored the proposed private prison ban, and worked with stakeholders to amend the measure to allow agencies until 2022 to make the transition.
Sandoval cited executive authority in his veto message.
