Carson City’s Wednesday Inferno: Nevada’s Soul on the Line
By TheNevadaGlobeStaff, March 19, 2025 8:00 am
March 19, 2025—Carson City’s legislative furnace is roaring, and the suits are sweating bullets. Seven bills—AB 411, AB 277, AB 235, AB 320, SB 263, SB 63, and AB 363—are slugging it out, but a late contender, AB 230, crashed the party at Commerce and Labor (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12246/Overview). Rural toughs are growling, Vegas grinders are sizing up the scam, and liberty junkies are itching for a brawl. This is The Nevada Globe, and we’re tearing into the chaos—unfiltered, unapologetic, and Nevada to the bone.
The Overreach Onslaught: Liberty Under Siege
AB 411—Health and Human Services, 8 a.m.—is a gutless dodge (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12589/Overview). Jauregui’s March 12 brainchild lets abortion pill pushers hide their names on labels, subbing in their practice. Why the mask? Opioid docs don’t get this—nobody does. It’s a biased shield for the ashamed, not freedom.
AB 277, Government Affairs at 8 a.m. (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12327/Overview), cracks open tax files on mineral hauls—February 24’s “Muslim Month” typo be damned. Miners in Elko don’t need Carson City blabbing their business; privacy’s king out there.
AB 235, same time, same crew (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12251/Overview), crowns reproductive and gender-care workers with secret IDs—like judges get. Roth’s February 17 fantasy has no proof of threats, just fiscal drag (Las Vegas Review-Journal, March 15, 2025). If safety’s real, open it to all Nevadans, not a clique.
Judiciary’s AB 320 at 8 a.m. (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12238/Overview) guts justice—mandatory no-bail for non-violent misdemeanors, no judge input. NRS 178.4851 balances safety; this is New York’s flop reborn.
SB 63, Commerce and Labor at 8 a.m. (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/11863/Overview), is Big Brother in sneakers. Prefiled November 20, 2024, it makes social media play parent—age checks, school-hour blackouts, data grabs. Section 20’s “8 a.m. to 3 p.m.” curfew assumes every kid’s in class. First Amendment’s bleeding here.
AB 363, Natural Resources at 4 p.m. (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12473/Overview), piles on March 4’s red tape—groundwater boards per county. Water laughs at lines; ranchers don’t need suits bickering over it.
The Heavy Hitters: SB 263 and AB 230
SB 263, Judiciary at 1 p.m. (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12447/Overview), is Nevada’s steel fist. Cannizzaro’s March 3 beast bans computer-generated child porn, slaps life terms on repeaters, and locks them on the sex offender list. Section 2’s “indistinguishable” nail shuts tech loopholes tight (Nevada Appeal, March 10, 2025). This is our kids, our fight—pure grit.
AB 230, Commerce and Labor, February 10 (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/83rd2025/Bill/12246/Overview), surprised me. Marzola’s Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact ain’t the nanny-state trap I feared. It lets licensed audiologists and speech pathologists from member states practice here—telehealth included—without new red tape. Section 1’s rules demand clean licenses, no felonies, and a two-year clean slate. Rural Nevadans get care, military spouses dodge licensing hell (Section 6), and the state’s not broke over it—Commission fees cover costs (Section 8). Yeah, the data system (Section 9) and Commission smell like bureaucracy, but it’s not forcing locals to bow. It’s a rare win for access without surrender.
Nevada’s Line in the Sand: Us vs. Them
This is a street fight—us, the dusty, defiant backbone of Nevada, against Dem meddlers, Hollywood hacks, and D.C. drones. AB 411, AB 277, AB 235, AB 320, SB 63, and AB 363 are liberty-killers—cash sinks and control freaks. SB 263 and AB 230? They’re our brass knuckles, smashing predators and opening doors.
Rural folks despise the water boards. Vegas hates the abortion pill dodge. Liberty nuts see social media rules as tyranny. But AB 230’s got ranchers and vets nodding—care where it’s thin, no extra chains. These clowns are cooked if we swing hard.
Get up, patriots. Bury Health and Human Services with “no” on AB 411—docs face the light. Slam Government Affairs with “nix AB 277 and AB 235”—privacy’s not a perk. Hit Judiciary with “scrap AB 320, yes SB 263”—justice and kids first. Tell Commerce and Labor “kill SB 63, back AB 230”—freedom and access, not babysitting. Smack Natural Resources with “no AB 363”—less suits, more sense. Hit X, scream loud, and peacefully save Nevada. This is our dirt, our win—fight or fold.
Vote Like a Nevadan:
- AB 411: No—No hiding for pill-pushers.
- AB 277: No—Keep miners’ books shut.
- AB 235: No—No VIP privacy passes.
- AB 320: No—Judges, not laws, decide.
- SB 263: Yes—Smash child porn peddlers.
- SB 63: No—Hands off our screens.
- AB 363: No—Ditch the water boards.
- AB 230: Yes—Care access, not control.
