Gov. Joe Lombardo on Tuesday signed into law Nevada Youth Legislator Stella Thornton’s Senate Bill 80, an education measure revising provisions relating to the prevention and treatment of injuries to the head during participation in certain activities.
Lombardo’s approval came a day after the Nevada Legislature’s regular session closed, with his signing before 9:30 p.m. and the Secretary of the State filing before 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, Thornton said. While she said there was some confusion in the final hours whether it would receive approval, she was “extremely happy” he signed it.
“I truly hope the governor will have time to do a ceremonial signing for a youth legislative bill since it’s such an important bill,” Thornton told the Appeal on Wednesday.
