Makes an appropriation to the Department of Education for programs of dual credit. (BDR S-178)

AB 139 appropriates $15 million from the State General Fund to Nevada's Department of Education to fund dual credit programs for eligible high school students. It provides grants covering student fees and instructional materials for pupils facing financial hardship - including first-generation college students, those from underserved communities, or households receiving public assistance or free/reduced lunch. The bill prohibits restrictions on program locations, subject areas, or instructor choices, requiring schools to report on expenditures, student enrollment, graduation rates, and college enrollment by 2026-2027. Funds must be spent by June 30, 2027, with unspent balances reverted to the state by September 17, 2027. This directly supports low-income high school students in accessing college courses while enrolled in public schools.
