Bill Summary · AB 374

Summary — AB 374 (2025): Workshop to Promote Pupil Mental Health

Status: Vetoed by Governor (10/03/2025). Effective date if enacted: July 1, 2025.
Note: The packet you provided also contains materials for a different AB 374 (California, authored by Nguyen) concerning itemized wage statements for K–14 classified employees (effective 2026–27). This summary focuses on the AB 374 described in the bill header and “As Introduced” text (Nevada bill establishing a pupil mental‑health workshop). A brief note about the wage‑statement bill is at the end.

Main purpose and intent

Require each Nevada public school (district and charter) to provide a regularly scheduled, age‑appropriate workshop to promote pupils’ mental health and ensure local boards adopt related curriculum. The Legislature intends these workshops to proactively support positive mental health, address immediate pupil needs, and provide individualized academic feedback and assistance.

Key provisions

  • Local requirement: The board of trustees of every school district and each charter school governing body must establish curriculum for a workshop to promote pupil mental health.
  • Frequency & delivery:
    • Workshops must be provided to pupils in kindergarten and grades 1–12.
    • Delivered during the regular school day.
    • Occur at least once per month.
  • Curriculum oversight and coordination:
    • Curriculum must be organized and coordinated by school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, or the school safety specialist (as designated under NRS 388.910), with assistance from teachers, administrators, and other staff.
  • Instructional goals: Content and activities should, in an age‑appropriate way:
    • Promote positive mental health.
    • Meet immediate needs and concerns of pupils (including counseling, consultation, referral, or information).
    • Provide individualized and positive feedback regarding academic performance.
    • Provide related assistance and instruction as deemed necessary.
  • Fiscal and mandate provisions:
    • Fiscal note: May have fiscal impact on local government.
    • The bill declares it contains an unfunded mandate; NRS 354.599 (which limits state reimbursement obligations) does not apply to additional local expenses related to this act.

Who is affected

  • Pupils enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12 in Nevada public school districts and charter schools.
  • School districts and charter schools (boards and governing bodies) — responsible for curriculum adoption and program delivery.
  • School counselors, psychologists, social workers, designated safety specialists, teachers, and administrators — responsible for coordination and delivery.
  • Local government budgets may be affected (training, staffing, materials, scheduling).

Procedural/timeline highlights

  • As introduced in the 2025 session; included an effective date of July 1, 2025.
  • Advanced through committees and both houses (see legislative actions).
  • Enrolled and presented to the Governor (09/22/2025).
  • Vetoed by the Governor on 10/03/2025; consideration of veto pending per the record.

Note on alternate AB 374 materials in the packet

Several committee and floor documents included in your packet describe a different AB 374 (California, authored by Nguyen) that would require K–14 classified public employees and community college classified employees to receive itemized wage statements beginning in the 2026–27 school year and to retain wage records for three years. That is a separate measure and jurisdiction from the Nevada pupil‑mental‑health workshop described above.
