Two unlikely allies — the Nevada Resort Association and Culinary Workers Union Local 226 — are pushing for an amendment to Gov. Joe Lombardo’s criminal justice bill (SB457) that would allow judges to ban people convicted of misdemeanor crimes from a tourism corridor for up to a year.
The proposal comes as Democratic lawmakers have put forward a new provision to Lombardo’s bill that would allow Clark County to reestablish a specialty court focused on crimes committed in a tourism corridor — widely considered to be the Strip — and the amendment from the Culinary Union and Resorts Association would step up penalties for repeat offenders.
