AB 472 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to educational personnel. (BDR 34-529)

AB 472 prohibits Nevada school districts from contracting with J-1 visa program sponsors or recruiters charging over $10,000 per participant for teacher exchange programs. It directly affects school districts hiring foreign teachers through these programs and the organizations recruiting them. The law exempts existing contracts signed before July 1, 2025, but requires new agreements or renewals after that date to comply with the fee limit. This is a concrete policy change limiting costs for school districts using J-1 visa teacher programs.

MINOR
This bill prohibits Nevada school districts from contracting with agencies that charge over $10,000 in fees to hire J-1 visa teachers. The main change is the addition of a sunset clause, which means the ban only applies to new contracts signed after July 1, 2025, while allowing existing agreements to continue until that date.
Scope change
The bill's applicability is now limited by a specific start date; it does not retroactively ban existing partnerships but strictly governs new ones initiated after July 1, 2025.
TIMELINE

Added a sunset clause (Section 4) stating the prohibition does not apply to contracts existing on July 1, 2025, but applies to any renewals or extensions after that date.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Reprint' header and committee metadata, updating the document to reflect its final 'As Enrolled' status for the 83rd Session.
