Path to the ballot
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Nevada State Legislature to place a bond measure on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 22 votes in the Nevada State Assembly and 11 votes in the Nevada State Senate, assuming no vacancies. In Nevada, bonds cannot exceed 2% of the assessed valuation of the state, with exceptions made "for the protection and preservation of any of its property or natural resources, or for the purposes of obtaining the benefits thereof, however arising and whether arising by or through any undertaking or project of the United States or by or through any treaty or compact between the states." Bond issues require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
