AB 331 allocates $220,000 for each of the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 fiscal years from Nevada’s State General Fund to expand a biennial survey of youth health risks. The funds will be distributed via grants to Nevada colleges and universities to enhance the state’s implementation of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, a survey model developed by the CDC. The bill requires all allocated funds to be spent by September 17, 2027, with unspent balances reverting to the State General Fund. This is a funding measure, not a policy change, directly affecting public health agencies and higher education institutions administering the survey.
