Makes an appropriation to the Department of Education for the replacement of the information technology system for educator licensure. (BDR S-1220)
AB 579 appropriates $1,472,641 from the State General Fund to the Nevada Department of Education specifically for replacing its outdated information technology system used to process educator licenses. This funding directly affects the Department of Education, which will use the money to upgrade the system managing teacher and educator licensure. The bill requires all funds to be spent by September 17, 2027, with any unspent balance reverting to the State General Fund. It does not create new policy but provides targeted funding for a specific system upgrade, effective July 1, 2025.
