AB 441 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing the Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program. (BDR 32-6)

AB 441 modifies Nevada's Educational Choice Scholarship Program by changing how tax credits for donations to scholarship organizations are processed. It requires scholarship organizations to apply for tax credit approval between May 1 and June 1 each year, with approvals issued by July 1. The bill establishes a priority system for allocating funds: first to students who received grants last year, then to their siblings, and finally to other applicants, with unmet demand handled through proportional allocation. The bill was vetoed by the Governor on June 10, 2025, so it did not become law.

MODERATE
This bill updates the Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program by setting a fixed annual window for tax credit applications (May 1 to June 1) and requiring the Department of Taxation to approve them by July 1. It also mandates that scholarship organizations must be domestic nonprofit corporations and must spend donated funds within 24 months or repay the tax credit. These changes aim to increase administrative predictability and ensure funds are used quickly for students.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program, but it tightens the rules for who can run the programs (must be domestic nonprofits) and when they can operate (fixed application and approval dates).
