Did Nevada end Qualified Immunity?

I ran across the following this morning while fooling around on my phone.  I haven't explored the issue yet, so I'm not sure if the author is characterizing the issue correctly or not.  If it's true, it would be pretty big news I think...

Looks like it is legit.  I'm surprised this wasn't bigger news.

Not really. Nevada's Supreme Court simply recognized (as most if not all other states do) that federal QI applies to federal claims only. Nevada's legislature has waived sovereign immunity by statute except for certain specified exceptions, none of which applied in this case.
