AB 413 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the creation of the Southern Nevada Health Care Workforce Apprenticeship Pilot Program. (BDR S-317)

AB 413 creates the Southern Nevada Health Care Workforce Apprenticeship Pilot Program to address shortages of medical assistants and pharmaceutical technicians in the region. It allocates $300,000 from the State General Fund to fund up to 100 apprentices, covering costs like certification fees, through registered apprenticeship programs approved by the State Apprenticeship Council. The program must train participants in Southern Nevada for these healthcare roles and will expire by September 2027, with unused funds reverting to the State General Fund. This directly affects healthcare workers seeking training and employers needing qualified staff in those specific occupations.
