Authorizes certain pupils to receive academic credit for completing certain outdoor recreational activities. (BDR 34-1142)

AB 501 allows Nevada school districts and charter schools to award elective credit toward high school graduation for students who complete approved outdoor recreational activities outside school hours. These activities must involve significant outdoor time and teach specific skills like identifying native plants, trail building, habitat restoration, or outdoor survival. Schools must set limits on credit earned, establish application rules, and obtain parental consent, but the bill does not require schools to fund or sponsor such activities. The policy applies only to elective credits and does not alter core graduation requirements.
