AB 355 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-937)

AB 355 revises two state education funds that provide capital improvement grants to school districts. It directly affects rural school districts in Nevada counties with populations under 100,000 (all counties except Clark and Washoe). The bill requires any unused funds in these accounts to carry forward to the next fiscal year instead of reverting to the general state fund. Additionally, it expands eligibility for rural district grants to include projects on tribal land, allowing districts to receive funding based on gifts, grants, or interest earned from such projects without requiring prior local tax levies for capital improvements.

MINOR
This bill updates the rules for two state education funds by ensuring any leftover money at the end of the fiscal year stays in the funds rather than returning to the state's general budget. It also expands eligibility for rural school districts, allowing them to receive grants for tribal land projects even if they haven't levied specific capital taxes.
Scope change
The bill broadens the scope of the Fund to Assist Rural School Districts in Financing Capital Improvements to include grants for projects on tribal land, regardless of whether the county has levied the required taxes.
FISCAL

Money remaining in both the general school capital fund and the rural school capital fund at the end of the fiscal year will no longer revert to the State General Fund but will be carried forward to the next year.

ELIGIBILITY

The Director of the Office of Finance can now grant funds to rural school districts for capital projects located on tribal land, even if the county has not levied the specific taxes usually required for such grants.

REQUIREMENT

The legislative text was updated from a 'Reprint' version to the final 'As Enrolled' version, incorporating amendments adopted in April 2025.
