Provides for the issuance of bonds to assist certain school districts in financing capital improvements. (BDR S-688)
AB 224 authorizes Nevada to issue $100 million in general obligation bonds to fund capital improvements for school districts in counties with populations under 15,000. The bond proceeds will be deposited into the existing "Fund to Assist School Districts in Financing Capital Improvements," allowing the state to make grants to eligible districts through the Office of Finance. This bill does not change existing requirements for districts (such as tax rate limits or emergency conditions), but expands funding access for small-county districts. The program becomes effective July 1, 2025, with funds specifically targeting physical facility upgrades like repairs or new construction.
