AB 412 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to emergency response in schools. (BDR 36-1006)

AB 412 creates the Nevada School Safety Data Grant Program to fund detailed, digital mapping of public school buildings and grounds for emergency response. Law enforcement agencies apply for grants to hire vendors who produce mapping data meeting strict standards (e.g., true north orientation, room labels, hazard locations, compatibility with public safety software). The data must be provided free to school districts and public safety agencies in the county, remain confidential, and cannot be disclosed outside authorized personnel. This directly affects public schools, law enforcement, and public safety agencies by improving emergency response coordination through standardized, accessible facility maps.

MODERATE

This bill was significantly revised to shift the program's focus from school districts to law enforcement agencies and to add new provisions about master key boxes. The funding source changed from the Department of Public Safety to the Division of Emergency Management within the Office of the Military, and the bill now includes requirements for installing secure key boxes at schools.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from solely funding school mapping data for school districts to also funding law enforcement agencies, and added new authority for installing master key boxes at public and private schools.

ELIGIBILITY

Grant recipients changed from school districts to law enforcement agencies, which now apply for funds to procure school mapping data for public schools in their jurisdiction.

REQUIREMENT

New provisions authorize school boards and governing bodies to install secure, exterior master key boxes at schools after consulting with public safety agencies.

New sections prohibit disclosure of school mapping data except to school district employees, public safety agencies, or the Division.
