AB 49 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to educational personnel. (BDR 34-519)

AB 49 allows Nevada school districts and charter schools to hire teachers provisionally (for up to one year) without a Nevada teaching license if they hold a valid out-of-state license, have applied for Nevada licensure, and passed background checks. It requires schools to report these hires to the Department of Education and updates licensing rules to let educators use career work experience for endorsements in career and technical education, complete counseling/nursing training while working, and temporarily serve without certain endorsements while applying for them. The bill also removes the State Board of Education’s authority to disapprove licensing regulations set by the Commission on Professional Standards. These changes directly affect schools, teachers, counselors, and school nurses seeking licensure or endorsements.

MODERATE
This bill updates the legislative text to reflect its final 'As Enrolled' status, removing reprints and committee markings. Substantively, it authorizes school districts to hire out-of-state teachers on a one-year provisional basis if they hold a valid license elsewhere and meet background check requirements. It also mandates that the Commission on Professional Standards in Education create specific regulations for career and technical education endorsements and allows school nurses and social workers to work without full endorsements while awaiting approval. Finally, it removes the State Board of Education's power to disapprove regulations created by the Commission.
