Establishes provisions relating to outdoor recreational education. (BDR 34-509)
AB 53 requires all Nevada public school districts and charter schools to provide at least 20 minutes of daily outdoor recess for students in kindergarten through grade 5. The law prohibits denying recess for academic or behavioral reasons (except in safety emergencies) and mandates exemptions for students with illnesses or disabilities. It also allows middle and high school students to earn elective credit for approved outdoor activities outside school hours, such as habitat restoration, hiking, or bird watching, if they meet specific skill-based criteria. The bill does not require schools to fund or sponsor these activities.
