The state plans to appeal a ruling that Nevada Equal Rights Commission guidance on gambling commission subpoenas was unconstitutional. Attorney General Harvey Dickerson said the only path to overturn is through the State Supreme Court, as courts previously ruled the commission lacked power to compel testimony.
