Bill > SB280

This bill appropriates $1,314,000 from the State General Fund to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Dental Medicine to create a specialized cleft and craniofacial medical team. The team is required to obtain approval from the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association and establish a clinic that will provide healthcare services to children, initially focusing on those under 3 years old, with the potential to expand services to children up to 18 years old with special needs, depending on available resources. The clinic must operate at least 4 hours per month, with the possibility of extending to 8 hours across two days per month if demand and resources permit. Additionally, the team is expected to develop partnerships with other higher education institutions and organizations to support its mission. The appropriated funds have a specific timeline, with any unspent money required to be returned to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027, and no new commitments allowed after June 30, 2027. The act becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval.
