SB 133 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Makes an appropriation to the Nevada Center for Civic Engagement to support civics education programs. (BDR S-104)

SB 133 appropriates $250,000 for each of the 2025-26 and 2026-27 fiscal years from the State General Fund to the Nevada Center for Civic Engagement. This funding supports existing civics education programs in Nevada's K-12 schools (such as National History Day and We the People) and expands programs for adults. The bill requires the Center to submit detailed spending reports to the legislature by specific deadlines and mandates that any unspent funds revert to the State General Fund by September 2026 or 2027. The bill became law on July 1, 2025, after passing unanimously in both chambers and receiving gubernatorial approval.

What changed between versions

Reprint 1 → As Enrolled · 4 edits · Jun 9, 2025
MODERATE
The bill was converted from a draft version to an official enrolled act, adding chapter and session headers. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new subsection requiring the Nevada Center for Civic Engagement to submit two detailed reports: an interim report by December 2026 and a final report by September 2027, detailing how every dollar was spent. A new requirement also mandates that any unspent funds must be returned to the state by specific deadlines, preventing the organization from holding onto leftover money.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding the recipient's obligations has expanded to include strict reporting and fund reversion requirements.
