Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Backstop for civil rights in programs
If federal Title VI or its rules are repealed, Nevada’s Division of Human Resource Management must report how to keep nondiscrimination duties and services going. The plan must review Nevada law, suggest adding protections, and identify funding sources. The Department of Administration may adopt state rules similar to the repealed federal rules. The Division must send the report to the Legislative Counsel Bureau for the Government Affairs committee, the Interim Finance Committee, and the next Legislature. The law also clarifies that “Department” means the Department of Administration for these steps.
New agency reports are exempt from limits
Reports required by this act are exempt from the normal reporting limits in NRS 218D.380. Agencies still must submit the reports to the Legislature under this law’s directions.
Backstop for medical privacy protections
If federal HIPAA or its rules are repealed, Nevada’s Department of Health and Human Services must report how to keep health information protections in place. The plan must review Nevada law, suggest adding protections, and identify funding sources for the current biennium. The State Board of Health may adopt state rules similar to the repealed federal rules. The Department must send the report to the Legislative Counsel Bureau for the Health and Human Services committee, the Interim Finance Committee, and the next Legislature.
Backstop for college sex discrimination rules
If federal Title IX or its rules are repealed, the Nevada Board of Regents must report how colleges will keep those duties and services going. The plan may use remaining federal funds or state appropriations for the current biennium. The Board must review Nevada law, suggest adding protections, and identify funding. The Board may adopt state rules similar to the repealed rules and must send the report to the Legislative Counsel Bureau for the Education committee, the Interim Finance Committee, and the next Legislature.
Backstop for special education and privacy
If federal IDEA, FERPA, or ESSA are repealed, Nevada’s Department of Education must file a report. The plan must keep K–12 services and student privacy protections running using remaining federal money or state funds for the current biennium. For IDEA, the plan must ensure no decrease in funding and follow maintenance‑of‑effort and supplement‑not‑supplant rules. The report must review Nevada law, suggest adding lost federal protections, and identify funding sources. The Department (with NSHE for FERPA) may adopt state rules similar to the repealed ones and must send the report to the Legislative Counsel Bureau for the Education committee, the Interim Finance Committee, and the next Legislature.
Clearer terms for special education services
The law updates Nevada’s definitions for special education. It defines terms like individualized education program (IEP), IEP team, dyslexia, dyslexia intervention, communication mode, provider of special education, and specific learning disability. These definitions apply to NRS 388.417 to 388.515 and guide how schools and providers deliver services.
