Companies in the future will pass up Nevada as we become more and more hostile to businesses. We live in a competitive environment where Nevada must compete with 50 other states for companies to move here. Business owners suffering under the weight of high taxes and regulations in California are increasingly pass over Nevada for Texas and more business friendly states. The Reno and Sparks Chamber of Commerce came out in support of the legislation, as did other business industry groups. There seems to be a growing divided between those running Chambers of Commerce and those who own businesses in Nevada. The Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce has refused to oppose the minimum wage increase this session and last session. Summary of SB 312: AN ACT relating to employment; requiring an employer in private employment to provide paid leave to each employee of the employer under certain circumstances; providing certain exceptions; providing a penalty; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
