AB 379 — Appropriation to the College of Southern Nevada (Northwest Campus)

Title

An act making an appropriation to the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) for development of its Northwest Campus, including the Center for Excellence in Public Safety. (BDR S-1067)

Main purpose / intent

To provide a state appropriation to CSN to support development of the Northwest Campus and its Center for Excellence in Public Safety, enabling planning/construction and partnership with local public‑safety agencies.

Key provisions and details

  • Appropriation: States that $1 is appropriated from the State General Fund to the College of Southern Nevada for development of its Northwest Campus, including the Center for Excellence in Public Safety. (As introduced language uses a $1 appropriation.)
  • Time limits on commitment and expenditure:
    • Any remaining balance of the appropriation must not be committed for expenditure after June 30, 2027.
    • Any portion of the money remaining must not be spent for any purpose after September 17, 2027.
    • Unspent funds must be reverted to the State General Fund on or before September 17, 2027.
  • Effective date: The act becomes effective on July 1, 2025.
  • Fiscal notes: Bill text notes the measure “contains an appropriation not included in Executive Budget.” The bill reports no effect on local government in the fiscal note summary.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: College of Southern Nevada — specifically development activities for the Northwest Campus and its Center for Excellence in Public Safety.
  • Indirect beneficiaries: Regional public‑safety agencies and first‑responder partners who may use or partner with the Center (e.g., the City of Henderson Fire Department provided a letter of support).
  • State General Fund: appropriation authorization and potential reversion if funds remain unspent.

Procedural / timeline aspects

  • Effective July 1, 2025.
  • Commitment cutoff: June 30, 2027.
  • Expenditure/reversion deadline: September 17, 2027.
  • Legislative actions (selected): Passed both houses, enrolled and presented to the Governor; approved by the Governor and chaptered as Chapter 82, Statutes of 2025 (Governor approval and chaptering noted July 30, 2025).

Notes and context

  • The appropriation amount shown in the introduced text is $1. Such nominal appropriations are frequently used as placeholders to authorize a project or to allow future budget action to allocate a specific funding amount; actual project funding may require separate budget action or additional appropriations.
  • The document packet provided also contains material (multiple Legislative Counsel digests) for an unrelated California bill numbered AB 379 (Schultz) regarding prostitution and human‑trafficking provisions. That is a different bill and jurisdiction; this summary focuses on Nevada AB 379 (CSN appropriation).
