ICYMI: The @NevadaDMV has adjusted hours to better serve Nevadans. See more details below — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thank you to @NevadaReady and partners throughout the State - including the private sector task force, the Elaine P. Wynn & Family Foundation, @CIS_Nevada and @ThePEFtoday - for coming together on this collaborative approach to help Nevada’s students have access to the internet — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thank you to all our partners in Southern Nevada - and across the State - for helping Nevadans in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Congratulations to Tammy Westergard on this prestigious appointment. Thank you for representing the Silver State! — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Nevada: our economic crisis is real, and #SB4 is a great example of how the people of this State -- business owners and workers -- have united in the midst of a historic crisis to protect workers, jobs & our fragile economy. We will get through this...together. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Finally, the protections in this bill will also send a powerful message to our visitors that they can take advantage of all of the wonderful amenities our great State has to offer in a safe environment -- all thanks to these increased health and safety standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This legislation does not create an impenetrable shield for businesses who fail to protect their employees, customers, visitors, and, importantly, hard working Nevadans. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This bill doesn't provide total immunity to all businesses under all circumstances. Those inevitable bad actors that ignore our directives & published health/safety protocols will not be protected from liability for those failures. They will continue to face legal consequences — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This bill protects small businesses from frivolous litigation as long as the businesses are following the State’s directives and the health and safety protocols. I appreciate the support and work of the @lvchamber in these efforts to ensure Nevada’s businesses are protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Finally, this bill not only protects Nevadans who work in the hospitality industry and those who manage the industry, but it helps Nevada businesses as a whole. That’s another reason why I’m proud to sign this piece of legislation today... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Additionally, to ensure that these workers have jobs to go to every day, this bill also helps protect our businesses in the industry from unwarranted harm, as long as they substantially follow these health and safety standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Senate Bill 4 is first in the nation legislation that will institute important worker protections in the hospitality industry. They are the culmination of months of conversations @Culinary226 had with workers. Great work can be achieved when the industry and workers get together. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This serves as proof that travel & tourism employees are absolutely critical to Nevada’s economy and it’s survival. Without them, our hotels and resorts are absent of the hospitality component that makes Nevada one of the top tourism destinations in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

What happened when our largest industry came to a standstill as a result of this pandemic? - Historic state budget shortfall of $1.2b - In April & May, 130,000 jobs were lost in the accommodations & food service industry The results were devastating... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

No other state in the country is as dependent on the travel & tourism industry as NV. We also know that COVID-19 brought tourism to a standstill, creating an all-consuming economic crisis, in addition to the public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

This bill isn’t about economic expansion – it's about our State’s economic survival. It’s about acknowledging that Nevada relies heavily on a single industry – the hospitality industry – and in order to make it through this historic storm, we must ensure it survives. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

As your Governor, I knew it was my job to do everything in my power - working with businesses, workers, and elected leaders - to find solutions. Unprecedented times call for extraordinary measures.... — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

For those wondering why #SB4 was proposed in the special session, let me be blunt: NV’s economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 public health crisis is real & it is significant. The situation we now face was previously unimaginable, but it's our reality.... — PolitiTweet.org

As I said back in 2019, we cannot give someone back lost time, but we must do all we can to make it right. This law is a good start. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

In June ‘19, I signed AB267 into law with DeMarlo Berry by my side. This guaranteed compensation to those who have been wrongly convicted. Today, the Board of Examiners awarded $2.25 million to Mr. Berry after he served a 22-year prison term for being wrongly convicted of murder. https://t.co/OsHzJSuCbZ — PolitiTweet.org
