AB 515 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to adoption assistance programs. (BDR 38-355)

AB 515 updates Nevada's adoption assistance program funding for Clark and Washoe Counties (the only counties with populations over 100,000 eligible for this grant). It requires the state to base grant amounts on both projected program costs *and* the adoption savings calculated from the previous fiscal year, as mandated by federal law. The bill also extends the time unused adoption savings can be carried forward from one to two fiscal years, allowing counties to use these funds for any child welfare service costs during that period instead of returning them to the state general fund after one year. This change provides more flexibility for counties to manage funds while aligning with federal requirements.
