CARSON CITY — Gov. Brian Sandoval vetoed his first bill of the 2013 Nevada legislative session Friday.
Sandoval said in his veto message that Senate Bill 180 goes “too far by exposing employers to a wide range of damages and fees.”

The existing law limits the amount awarded to employment discrimination suits to just two years of lost wages and actual damages.
