Info on Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Virus PDF Print E-mail
From Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford:

horsford_headshot.gifIt is important that Nevadans are aware of the latest developments. We have one confirmed case in Washoe County and there could be more in the next day. 

Nevadans need to know that the state and local government is doing everything it can to protect citizens. There is a lot of helpful information at  http://www.health.nv.gov/. But the most important thing people can do is understand the facts. Flu viruses spread from person to person mainly through the coughing or sneezing of a sick person. Flu virus may also be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with the virus and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. The single best way to avoid the flu is to wash your hand very frequently.  

We are taking this situation very seriously and we will continue to keep the public informed. For more that you can do to protect yourself and your family, go to http://www.health.nv.gov/.

Legislation To Watch

Revises provisions concerning the increased penalty imposed for certain traffic violations occurring in work zones
SB134
Sponsored by: Sen. Coffin
BILL STATUS: Approved by the Governor, Chapter 186. Effective Oct. 1, 2009

Existing law requires the doubling of the penalty imposed against a person convicted of speeding or convicted of certain other traffic offenses that occur in a highway construction zone if: (1) workers are present; or (2) the effects of the offense are otherwise aggravated because of certain highway conditions that exist as a result of the highway construction.
This bill maintains the double penalty if such an offense occurs in a highway construction zone when workers are present. However, this bill provides that a court may, but is not required to, impose a reduced additional penalty of not more than one-half the penalty imposed for the primary offense if the offense occurs in a highway construction zone when workers are not present but where the effects of the offense are still otherwise aggravated because of certain highway conditions that exist as a result of the highway construction.
