Nevada laws are different from other states due to more lax laws regarding hot topics such as prostitution, homosexuality and drug laws. In Nevada, prostitution was made legal. Although brothels have been open and operating in Nevada since 1902, prostitution wasn't officially legal until 1937. Another example of differing laws versus other states is the Domestic Partnership Responsibilities Act put into effect on October 1, 2009. This act allows for recognition of same-sex domestic unions and for those couples to enjoy the rights and privileges that opposite-sex married couples have.
Gaming and tax laws also differ in Nevada vs. other states. Nevada has no personal income tax or corporate income tax which draws in a lot of corporations as Nevada is under no obligation to share income data with the IRS seeing as they don't collect income data. In 1931, Nevada legalized most forms of gaming and is not limited or regulated to certain areas or closing times. Whereas Nevada has legalized gambling, it is illegal in Utah, which is a neighboring state, and no forms of gambling are allowed. One other law that was passed in June of this year advocates the right to sell medical marijuana from authorized locations. This set Nevada apart from a few states, such as Alabama and Iowa, in that Nevada's bill passed while many other states have bills that have died in the congressional sense and will remain illegal to grow or sale.
