AB 138 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to curriculum standards for teaching the personal safety of children. (BDR 34-922)

AB 138 requires Nevada's state education department to create age-appropriate curriculum standards for teaching students in kindergarten through 12th grade about recognizing and preventing sexual abuse, expanding existing personal safety education to explicitly include this topic. The bill mandates that school districts implement this instruction as part of required health classes, including specific elements like identifying abuse indicators, steps for victims to seek help, and available counseling resources. It also requires schools to develop training for staff, provide parent materials, and establish referral protocols for abuse incidents. This bill directly affects all public K-12 schools in Nevada and their students, with the state education department responsible for annual review of the standards.
