Sandoval bill scorecard: 33 up, two down

CARSON CITY — Gov. Brian Sandoval signed 33 bills into law and vetoed two bills on Monday, approving measures aimed at boosting school safety and creating a new state park. The two bills Sandoval vetoed:

■ Assembly Bill 249, which would allow convicts to get their criminal records sealed if the conviction is tied to possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana.

■ Assembly Bill 407, which would have designated the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Desert Research Institute “land grant” institutions.

Among the bills Sandoval signed: ■ Senate Bill 487, which implements a 10 percent tax on retail marijuana sales, a key part of Sandoval’s budget plan.

■ Senate Bill 344, which sets the criteria for packaging and advertising recreational marijuana at the manufacturing and distribution level.

■ Senate Bill 536, which appropriates funding to establish the Walker River State Recreation Area, a major part of Sandoval’s Explore Your Nevada initiative.

■ Assembly Bill 362, which is one of two pieces of legislation highlighted by experts and advocates in Broken Trust, a three-part Las Vegas Review-journal investigation into a sexual misconduct crisis in the Clark County School District. AB362 requires applicants to disclose past allegations, say so if they left their job with pending allegations and say so if they had a license suspended or revoked while there were pending allegations.
