[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) touted a proposal that would allow tech companies to create local governments.

A draft proposal that has not been introduced in the Nevada State legislature would clear the way for "Innovation Zones," allowing tech companies to form separate governments in the state, according to a draft of the bill obtained The Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Sisolak touted his plan on Twitter Wednesday, saying he was glad it was getting national attention as a "Top Tech Agenda." He added that the plan would "help strengthen Nevada's infrastructure and economy and help generate new jobs in our state."

Sisolak first mentioned his plan during his State of the State address on Jan. 19. At the time, the governor said that companies "creating groundbreaking technologies can come to Nevada to develop their industries ... without tax abatements or public financing."
