Nevada Medicaid will now cover medically necessary abortion services after state officials did not appeal a judge’s ruling requiring the health insurance program to cover the procedure. The decision, seen as a victory for abortion rights advocates, ruled in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Nevada, which filed a lawsuit last August seeking to reverse the state’s limits on abortion coverage for Medicaid recipients on behalf of Silver State Hope Fund, a Nevada nonprofit that provides abortion services. The insurance program already covers abortion for cases involving rape, incest or when the mother’s life is in danger.
As child care costs rise faster than wages, new polling indicates a bipartisan majority of Nevadans support implementing policies to assist families with those expenses. The survey, conducted in Spanish and English by the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy, shows that a majority of Democrats and Republicans in Nevada support increasing child tax credits, expanding free universal preschool programs, subsidizing child care for low and middle-income families and enacting a national 12-week paid family and medical leave program.

IDs are about $20 from a DMV.

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) was tasked with overseeing awards for two pandemic relief programs to help small businesses with rent and operating costs. However, more than 10 percent of the program awardees had questionable eligibility due to outstanding debts and taxes, late tax returns or an inactive state business license.
