CARSON CITY — Gov. Joe Lombardo signed two significant bills Saturday, with just two days left in the 2023 session with big portions of the state budget still unresolved.
Lombardo gave his approval to Assembly Bill 342, codifying the verification of age for cannabis sales. The Cannabis Compliance Board by regulation requires establishments to verify the age of the consumer before selling marijuana, and this bill codifies that requirement into law.
Lombardo also put his signature on Assembly Bill 356, sponsored by Assemblywoman Jill Dickman, R-Sparks, that makes it a crime to install a tracking device on a person’s car without their knowledge. The bill comes after Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve found a tracking device on her vehicle during a visit to a mechanic.
The governor also signed Senate Bill 293. Lombardo was joined by the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Fabian Doñate, during a small ceremony Thursday afternoon.
The measure requires companies that install solar panels to tell customers the amount due before installation, a timeline for installation and the monthly payment, among other things, before they buy or lease solar panels. If they don’t, the customer may cancel the agreement. Customers can also cancel the agreement within three business days.
The bill also requires individuals who perform work on the panels or other solar-powered systems to hold a license issued by the state contractor’s board, or be an employee of a person who holds a license.
