SB 165 All But Dead

SB 165, which would have legalized assisted suicide and euthanasia in Nevada, failed to make it out of its house of origin, so that it is now all but dead. According to 3 News Las Vegas:

While the bills the couldn't make it out of committee are technically off the table, they won't officially be out of question until the Legislative Session ends in June.
The next major deadline comes on May 17.
