The Nevada Legislature may need to reconvene for a special session to address a potential shortfall in the state's emergency fund, as indicated by the governor's office. This fund, crucial for emergencies and unexpected costs, is reportedly running low on money. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas highlighted the importance of legislative action to prevent future deficits, amidst current budgetary challenges. However, top Democrats in the Legislature believe the state possesses sufficient funds in a key account to meet needs until next year, countering the GOP governor's suggestion for an immediate special session.
