SB 93 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain labor standards for the award of grants of federal money by a state agency for certain purposes. (BDR 18-556)

SB 93 requires Nevada state agencies distributing federal broadband grants to prioritize applications that commit to workforce standards. Specifically, applicants must submit a certification showing they will either meet safety/training requirements and offer quality jobs to Nevada residents (especially in underrepresented communities) or be a signatory to a collective bargaining agreement covering non-supervisory workers. Agencies must assign a 30% scoring bonus to applications with this certification, making it a key factor in grant awards. The bill directly affects contractors seeking federal broadband infrastructure grants and ensures public funds support locally trained workers and safe project execution.
