CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- The 2009 Nevada Legislature adjourned early Tuesday, after weary lawmakers cobbled together last-minute compromises, overrode many of Gov. Jim Gibbons' record number of vetoes and shipped him dozens of Senate- and Assembly-approved
bills.

The Assembly adjourned just before midnight Monday, and the Senate did the same about half an hour into Tuesday.

The lawmakers' final action on bills was the Senate's approval of SB395, part of a high-profile package of renewable energy bills.

SB395 encourages "green" development and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Other bills approved on the 2009 session's last day included AB140, part of an effort to help ease Nevada's highest-in-the-nation foreclosure rate.

Lawmakers also revived and approved part of a once-rejected proposal to roll back a voter-approved smoking ban in public places. An amendment tacked onto AB309, which deals with stalking, allows smoking at tobacco trade conventions.

Among the measures not approved in the final hours of the session was SB52, a bill to bring the state into line with terms of the federal Real ID Act. Critics said there was potential for "Orwellian" intrusions into Nevadans' privacy.

Also lost in the last-minute shuffle was a plan to prohibit Nevada motorists, including police and emergency personnel, from text-messaging on cell phones while driving.

Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-North Las Vegas, told fellow senators that the 2009 Legislature didn't fix "all the problems. But I am here to tell you that we have kept the fabric of
this state together."
