Gov. Joe Lombardo signed the remaining five bills left on his desk following the week-long special legislative session in November, the Nevada Legislature’s online tracker showed Monday.

Though 13 bills made it to the Republican governor’s desk for approval after state lawmakers ended the session on Nov. 19, eight were signed by the governor in the final days and several after the session. The remaining legislation including his wide-sweeping proposals updating some criminal penalties, changes to traffic safety laws in school zones and a grant program to address health care provider shortages in the state.

The normally part-time Legislature meets for 120 days every other year, but special sessions can be called for specific business on “extraordinary occasions.” Lombardo officially called the body to Carson City on Nov. 13 for more than a dozen items on his proclamation, including a proposal to incentivize Hollywood development in Southern Nevada, changes to state cybersecurity, wage and labor laws, additional funding to various programs around Nevada and the creation of a state-run public assistance program.

A spokesperson for the governor did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday. The governor heralded the special session as a success in a statement after the final gavel drop.
