AB 420 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to education. (BDR 34-538)

AB 420 requires school districts in Clark County (population 700,000+) to report incidents where school police use chemical agents or electronic stun devices on students or minors to the school board. The school board must then investigate, determine if the use was justified, and publicly share a summary of the report and findings at least 30 days before an election. The bill also creates a Voter Access Grant Program, providing state funds from a new account to counties, cities, and tribal governments to improve election administration and voter access. These provisions directly affect Clark County schools and local election offices through new reporting requirements and funding mechanisms.

MINOR

This bill transitions from a draft version to its final enacted form, removing internal committee markings and consolidating the text into a clean, official statute. The core policy requirements remain unchanged: school districts and charter schools must publish annual reports detailing the use of force by school police officers, including specific data on weapons used, incident locations, and demographic information.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; it continues to apply to school districts employing police officers and charter schools that contract for such services.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative markings, committee headers, and draft identifiers (e.g., 'Reprint 2', page numbers, and amendment notes) to finalize the text for official publication.

Consolidated the Legislative Counsel's Digest and the main body of the act into a single, continuous flow, removing the fragmented layout typical of draft versions.

Replaced the line-numbered format used in drafts with standard paragraph and subsection numbering for the final enrolled version.
