Bill > AB494

This bill establishes a comprehensive contingency plan for several key federal education and healthcare laws in case they are repealed by the federal government. Specifically, if the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Every Student Succeeds Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are repealed, the respective state agencies (such as the Department of Education, Board of Regents, Department of Administration, and Department of Health and Human Services) are required to prepare detailed reports. These reports must include recommendations for continuing funding and services, an analysis of which provisions should be incorporated into Nevada state law, and an assessment of potential funding sources. Additionally, the bill authorizes these agencies to adopt regulations substantially similar to the repealed federal provisions, ensuring that critical protections and programs can continue without interruption. The reports would be submitted to relevant legislative committees and the next legislative session, providing a proactive approach to maintaining important educational and healthcare standards at the state level.
