AB 552 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the Trust Fund for Child Welfare. (BDR 38-1124)

AB 552 modifies Nevada's Trust Fund for Child Welfare, affecting children receiving services in counties with under 100,000 residents (all counties except Clark and Washoe). It eliminates the requirement for the state to deduct public-funded services from each child's individual account balance. The bill adds a new provision requiring interest payments on these accounts at a rate tied to local savings accounts, while maintaining the rule that remaining funds must be returned to parents, guardians, or the child upon termination of state responsibility. This change takes effect July 1, 2025.

MINOR
This bill modifies the Trust Fund for Child Welfare by eliminating the requirement for the Division of Child and Family Services to deduct public money spent on services from a child's separate account. Previously, the Division had to deduct these costs before remitting any surplus to parents or guardians. The change allows children to retain funds in their accounts without deductions for publicly funded services, potentially increasing the amount available to families when the child no longer requires state support.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Trust Fund for Child Welfare in counties with populations under 100,000, but the financial management rules for individual child accounts have been altered.
REQUIREMENT

Removed the requirement for the Division to deduct from a child's separate account any services provided by public money.

FISCAL

Changed how surplus balances in child accounts are handled by removing the deduction step, allowing more funds to remain available for remittance to parents or guardians.

TECHNICAL

Converted the bill from 'As Introduced' format to 'As Enrolled' format, including proper legislative chapter formatting and session information.
