AB 314 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to economic development. (BDR 18-670)

AB 314 creates a new program to support individuals pursuing careers in K-12 education and health care. It requires the State Treasurer to establish a reimbursement system for education and licensure fees (like tuition, exams, and certification costs) for people in financial need preparing for these fields. The bill also authorizes grants to hospitals to partner with secondary schools for work-based learning programs for students. A new "Nevada Education and Health Care Pathways Account" will be funded with a $10 million state appropriation to cover these programs, with funds carried forward annually. This directly affects Nevada residents seeking careers in teaching or health care, as well as participating hospitals and schools.

MODERATE

This bill was amended to shift from creating entirely new programs to integrating health care workforce development into existing educational and reimbursement frameworks. The changes streamline implementation by leveraging current structures rather than establishing separate accounts and programs from scratch.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include health care as a priority industry alongside education, and the approach changed from creating new standalone programs to modifying existing tuition reimbursement and career pathway programs to include health care.

SCOPE

Changed the bill's approach from establishing entirely new programs to requiring the State Treasurer to include health care within an existing tuition reimbursement program, and requiring the Governor's Office of Workforce Innovation to include health care in its existing Career Pathways Demonstration Program.

FISCAL

Removed the creation of a new Nevada Education and Health Care Pathways Account and the $10,000,000 appropriation, instead directing that existing accounts be used to fund the expanded programs.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirements for large school districts and authorized other districts to offer a Health Care Workforce Pathway Program, similar to the existing Teacher Academy College Pathway Program.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified eligibility criteria to allow reimbursement for persons preparing for health care careers in addition to K-12 education, and expanded the program to include grants to hospitals for work-based learning opportunities.

TECHNICAL

Removed the original Section 1 which established the new account and Section 4 which provided the $10 million appropriation, replacing them with deletion notices.
