Revises provisions governing language education. (BDR 34-31)

SB 98 revises Nevada's language education laws by redefining "language other than English" to include specific communication and cultural criteria. It replaces the term "world language" with this new definition in existing statutes and directs the Nevada Department of Education to study requiring teacher training in language acquisition methods for those seeking endorsements to teach non-English languages. This policy change directly affects educators seeking teaching endorsements for non-English languages and the Department of Education, which must conduct the study and report findings to the Legislature. The bill does not impose new requirements but initiates a review process to potentially align teaching standards for non-English languages with current standards for English language educators.
