Civil Rights Stand Law Presented To Legislature
Nevada's civil rights bill was introduced in the legislature with sponsors from both parties. The measure creates a State Equal Rights Commission with power to hold hearings, issue cease and desist orders, and seek injunctions in district court to curb discrimination in public facilities and employment. Local jurisdictions could adopt ordinances, while concerns centered on state licensing of child care facilities and local prejudice shaping decisions. Gov. Sawyer backs the measure, budgeting funds for the commission and an executive secretary.
