Lyon County voters to decide whether to ban brothels this November
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted Thursday to approve a resolution to place an Advisory Question on the November ballot to address the brothel question. The question reads as:
"Shall the Lyon County Board of Commissioners rescind Title 3, Chapter 5, the Lyon County Brothel Ordinance, in order to end brothels and legalized prostitution in Lyon County, Nevada?"
This was brought to the Board to address concerns brought up with a proposed referendum to end brothels in Lyon County.
County Manager Jeff Page said the referendum language is confusing to the voter and could potentially require voter approval to change the brothel ordinance. Proponents of the referendum advised the Board that they would not be filing the referendum as the Advisory Question will be on the ballot.
