SB 445 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the privacy of data concerning pupils. (BDR 34-854)

SB 445 requires Nevada's Department of Education to transfer pupil data (after a student graduates or leaves public school) to the State Library Archives Division, removing personal details like names before transfer. The Archives must then destroy this data 10 years after receiving it. This directly affects students' educational records, as their data will no longer be retained by the Department of Education but instead handled by the Archives under strict retention rules. The bill updates existing data transfer procedures without altering current data collection practices.
