Issue Position : Children

Issue Position

Children are our State and Country's most precious resource, but they often lack the skills to protect themselves. It is our responsibility, as parents, teachers and Legislators to keep children safe. Lisa is the proud Primary Sponsor of AB145 -Extends The Statute of Limitations For Child Victims Of Sexual Abuse- in the 2017 NV Legislative Session. Lisa conceived the idea and wrote the Bill Draft Request in 2016 after seeing so many cases reported in the news about the USA girls gymnasts being sexually abused by their coaches as children, and only after 20 years, did 365 grown women finally have the courage to come forward and testify about what had happened to them as children. Although Lisa is the Primary Sponsor of AB 145 , she later invited other NV Legislators from both political parties, to join her as Co-Sponsors of the Bill . AB 145 unanimously passed out of the Assembly and the Senate, and was signed into law by Governor Sandoval in June 2017. Lisa is proud to sponsor AB145- a non-partisan Bill for all citizens.
