AB 217 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to law enforcement on school property. (BDR 34-201)

AB 217 prohibits Nevada school districts, public schools, and their employees from granting immigration officials (including federal, state, or local officers) access to school property or sharing student records without a court warrant. It also bans school police officers in Clark County from using chemical agents or stun devices on students during school activities or events. If such devices are used, schools must report the incident to the district board, which must investigate, determine if the use was justified, and review policies. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors.
