Nevada might just be on its way to becoming the first state government run like a European-style parliament. At least, that’s what it feels like. We’ve got the Lombardo Republicans, the Moderate Republicans, the Democrats, the Moderate Democrats, and then, of course, the Republic of Selena La Rue Hatch. Watching the votes fall where they do has been nothing short of astonishing. Some bills have sailed through nearly unanimously. Others, like the film tax credits and the crime bill, have stalled. There doesn’t appear to be the votes, so negations must be continuing. I prayed with a senator as they discerned their vote.

Now, the newest rumor swirling through the halls of the Legislature: we may actually see a coherent Special Session, but it appears late night negations with the Governor’s office that led to the Senate convene after hours and late into the night.

Here’s the situation. The Assembly and Senate need to persuade just one Republican to cross the aisle, and they did. While I was at the Legislative Building, the Governor’s staff was swirling around Senator Hansen because the bill at the center of this effort is Senator Dina Neal’s SB 391 that would cap the amount of homes out of state real estate investors can buy, and it died in a very public death after Senator Ira Hansen revealed on the Senate floor that he had received a phone call from Governor Lombardo asking him to kill the bill.

But the winds have shifted and Senate Bill 10 has been introduced.

It has been a dramatic Tuesday on top of an already drama of the entire Special Session—and a rare moment where bipartisan governance breaks through the usual gridlock. In a Statehouse suddenly behaving like a multi-party coalition parliament, anything feels possible.

Update: This story has been edited as the drama contuined well into the early morning hours after our Advocacy Director had left the Legislative Building. Senate Bill 10 was introduced.
