内华达州长选战:福特若胜选,两度被否决的法案有望重返议会

内华达州克拉克县拉斯维加斯市,据《拉斯维加斯太阳报》报道,如果民主党籍州总检察长 Aaron Ford 赢得州长选举,一长串曾被共和党籍州长 Joe Lombardo 在2023年与2025年两度否决的法案,有望在州议会2027年2月1日复会时重新提出。这些法案包括把处方药价格上限设定为联邦医疗保险水平、限制老年人租金涨幅,以及禁止21岁以下人群拥有半自动步枪;《太阳报》统计,隆巴多在两个会期中两度否决的法案除上述外至少还有8项。
隆巴多2025年共发出87项否决,创下该州纪录。报道指出,如果民主党保住州议会两院多数、福特又胜选,民主党将自2023年1月以来首次同时掌控州长办公室与州议会两院。民调平均值显示,福特与隆巴多各得42%,选情胶着。
福特表示,如果当选,他将在上任头30天内签署多项曾被否决的措施,包括处方药价格上限、全校免费餐食以及限制企业购房。其中第391号参议院法案拟把企业投资者每年购房上限设定为100套,第280号众议院法案拟把老年人租金年涨幅限制在5%左右,第306号众议院法案则要求特定县的书记官在提前投票结束至选举日之间继续开放邮寄选票投递箱。被否决的法案不会自动成为法律,须在新会期重新提出并通过。11月3日的投票将决定这些法案能否重返议程。

Nevada Governor's Race: Twice-Vetoed Bills Could Return if Ford Wins
In Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, the Las Vegas Sun reports that if Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford wins the governor's race, a long list of bills that Republican Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed in both 2023 and 2025 could be reintroduced when the Legislature convenes on February 1, 2027. The bills include capping prescription drug prices at Medicare levels, capping rent increases for seniors and barring people under 21 from owning semiautomatic rifles. The Sun counted at least eight other bills Lombardo rejected in both sessions.
Lombardo issued a state-record 87 vetoes in 2025. If Democrats keep their majorities in both legislative chambers and Ford wins, Democrats would control the governor's office and both chambers for the first time since January 2023. Polling averages show Ford and Lombardo tied at 42% each.
Ford says that if elected he would sign several of the vetoed measures within his first 30 days, including the drug-price cap, universal free school meals and limits on corporate homebuying. Senate Bill 391 would have capped corporate investors at 100 home purchases a year, Assembly Bill 280 would have limited senior rent increases to about 5% a year, and Assembly Bill 306 would have required clerks in certain counties to keep mail ballot drop boxes open between the end of early voting and Election Day. Vetoed bills do not become law automatically; each must be reintroduced and passed again. The November 3 vote will decide whether they return to the agenda.
