Thanks to the hard work of Nevada CAI members and the volunteers of CAI’s Community Nevada Legislative Action Committee (NV-LAC), the Nevada Legislature has sustained the Governor’s veto of Assembly Bill 396 (AB 396). The vote was one of the first actions of the new legislature as it opened its 2009 session. This victory means that, for now, associations in Nevada can continue to enforce traffic laws within their community, make independent editorial decisions in newsletters, better maintain common elements and adequately assess members for reserve funding.
Passage of AB 396 would have resulted in communities that were less safe, less governable and less able to take action to preserve the home values of their residents.
CAI members and LACs have been working on grassroots opposition to a legislative override of the Governor’s veto. Today’s vote is well earned victory for CAI members and their allies - more so if you consider that the original legislation passed both chambers in 2007 with only 2 “No” votes. Congratulations.

Congratulations to all of our Nevada members who contributed to this effort.
