A Nevada bill that would have legalized assisted suicide in the state is no longer moving forward after Governor Joe Lombardo stated that if lawmakers passed it, he would not sign it.

Key takeaways

  • Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo says he would not sign a bill legalizing assisted suicide because it is “unnecessary” due to palliative care expansion and improvements in pain management.
  • The bill’s sponsor has attempted multiple times to pass the bill and vowed to continue trying.
  • Eleven states plus Washington, D.C., have legalized assisted suicide, with Delaware the most recent.

The details

Assembly Bill 346 would have legalized physician-assisted suicide in the state for terminally-ill adults age 18 and over.

Lombardo, a Republican, has vetoed assisted suicide legislation in the past; in April, he released a statement saying he would do so again. Lombardo cited advancements in palliative care as a reason why he is against assisted suicide.
