Revises provisions relating to child welfare. (BDR 13-1060)
AB 460 allows parents or guardians to formally nominate a future guardian for a minor by submitting a signed form (with two witnesses) to Nevada's electronic Lockbox system. It creates two new legal presumptions that temporary guardianship is in a minor's best interest if: (1) no parent has cared for the child for 6+ months, or (2) parents are separated due to a federal immigration order. The bill expands support for relatives caring for children by allowing younger relatives (under the usual age requirement) to access financial assistance if the child was separated from parents due to immigration. It also appropriates funds to the Department of Education for trauma support services for students affected by trauma. These changes directly affect families navigating guardianship, child welfare systems, and community support programs in Nevada.

MINOR
This bill updates the text of AB 460 to reflect its final 'As Enrolled' status, incorporating amendments adopted in June 2025. The substantive policy content regarding the nomination of guardians for minors and the removal of filing fees remains consistent with the previous version, but the document now includes the official chapter number and updated session headers.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to allow parents to nominate guardians and removes filing fees for the Nevada Lockbox.
TECHNICAL
Added official chapter placeholder and updated session headers to reflect the bill's final enrolled status.
Removed preliminary committee referral summaries and draft headers from the earlier 'Reprint 2' version.
Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and bill text to match the final enrolled layout, removing line numbers and draft markers.
