AB 212 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to early childhood education. (BDR S-815)

AB 212 renames Nevada's "Virtual Early Childhood Family Engagement Pilot Program" to simply "Virtual Early Childhood Family Engagement Program" and removes a requirement limiting children's screen time to American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations. The bill extends the program's funding and operation through September 2027, requiring the administering nonprofit to submit annual reports and the Department of Health and Human Services to compile and submit these reports to state legislators. It directly affects parents and guardians of children who will enter kindergarten, particularly those from low-income households (≤200% federal poverty level), foster care, or rural areas, by providing virtual coaching and resources via digital devices. The bill includes a new state appropriation to fund these services, which include connecting families to childcare, housing, Medicaid, and early education resources.
