Makes an appropriation to the University of Nevada, Reno, for a technology initiative for certain students. (BDR S-79)
AB 353 appropriates $2.4 million from the State General Fund to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to provide tablet computers to low-income students. It directly affects UNR students enrolled during 2025-2027 who qualify for federal Pell Grants (based on income criteria adjusted for inflation). The bill requires UNR to distribute tablets, track usage, evaluate academic impact, and submit detailed reports to legislators by 2027. Any unspent funds must revert to the state by September 2027, with all spending completed by June 2027.
