Nevada lawmakers pass bills in special session

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) ? Nevada lawmakers got off to a slow start but picked up steam and are debating five bills in a special legislative session called overnight by Gov. Brian Sandoval.

Sandoval ordered a special session before dawn Tuesday when lawmakers failed to take final action on a handful of measures in the four-month regulation session that ended just hours earlier at midnight.

Action on bills dealing with more police officers in Clark County, class-size reduction, charter schools and tax abatements for new businesses were dealt with swiftly once the process began.

Sandoval urged legislators to wrap up the special session by 8 a.m., but the state constitution provides 20 days.
