Bill Summary · SB 413

Legislative bill overview

SB 413 appropriates state funding to establish or expand a Nonprofit Security Grant Pilot Program in Nevada. This program would provide financial resources to eligible nonprofits to enhance their security measures and preparedness. The bill has remained in the Finance Committee since March 2025 with minimal legislative movement.

Why is this important

Nonprofit organizations—including religious institutions, community centers, and service providers—have increasingly become targets of security threats and violence. Grant funding could help these resource-constrained organizations implement security improvements like surveillance systems, emergency protocols, and staff training, potentially reducing vulnerability to attacks.

Potential points of contention

  • Funding amount and source: The bill's appropriation level is not specified in available documents; stakeholders may debate whether allocated funds are sufficient and whether general revenue or alternative sources should pay for security subsidies
  • Eligibility criteria: Questions may arise about which nonprofits qualify, potentially favoring certain types of organizations over others or creating administrative burden for small nonprofits
  • Pilot program scope: Uncertainty about geographic coverage, program duration, and whether funding will become permanent or recurring could affect long-term planning for participating organizations
