AB 383 — Summary (BDR 34-767)

Status: Approved by the Governor. Chaptered. Effective date: July 1, 2025.
Introduced: Feb. 3, 2025. Primary sponsors: Assemblymembers Hansen and Dickman (with coauthors Cole, Edgeworth, Gurr, Hafen, Hardy, Hibbetts, Nguyen, O’Neill).

Main purpose

Authorize the Nevada State Board of Education to adopt regulations establishing uniform criteria that vendors providing “high‑impact tutoring” must satisfy in order for a school district or charter school to contract with them. The goal is to promote evidence‑based, accountable tutoring programs that supplement core instruction and improve pupil outcomes.

Key provisions

  • Authorization (not a mandate to purchase): The State Board of Education may adopt regulations that set the criteria vendors must meet to contract with a school district or charter school to deliver high‑impact tutoring.
  • Required regulatory topics: Regulations must establish criteria (consistent with evidence‑based best practices) addressing:
    • Frequency of interactions between a pupil and a tutor (the bill allows the Board to set standards; earlier prescriptive session/length requirements were removed by amendment).
    • Standards used to select which pupils receive tutoring.
    • Methods of tutoring, including program design matters such as maximum pupil‑to‑tutor ratio (specific numeric requirements were pared back in later amendments so the Board can set appropriate program standards).
    • Tutor qualifications and training requirements.
    • Instructional materials to be used by the tutoring program.
    • Data collection and reporting requirements to monitor academic progress, including reporting progress to school administrators/teachers and to parents/legal guardians.
    • Security and privacy protections for pupil data, to be consistent with state and federal privacy laws (including FERPA).
  • Regulatory flexibility: Through amendments, the bill shifts implementation authority to the State Board and removes some prescriptive operational mandates from the statute so the Board can set standards consistent with evidence‑based practices and local needs.

Who is affected

  • Vendors of tutoring services: will need to meet State Board criteria to be eligible for contracts with Nevada school districts or charter schools.
  • School districts and charter schools: may require prospective vendors to demonstrate compliance with State Board regulations when contracting, but contracting remains a local decision.
  • Pupils and families: tutoring programs governed by these criteria will be expected to follow established standards for frequency, quality, reporting, and data protections.
  • State education agencies: the State Board will expend administrative effort to develop and adopt regulations; the fiscal note indicates an effect on the State.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • The act becomes effective July 1, 2025.
  • The State Board may adopt regulations after the effective date to implement the statutory criteria.
  • Fiscal note: Effect on Local Government — No; Effect on the State — Yes (state administrative responsibilities to adopt and implement regulations).

Context / amendments

  • Earlier versions would have required the Department of Education to publish a list of approved programs and contained detailed, prescriptive requirements (e.g., three 30‑minute sessions per week, max 4:1 ratio). Amendments removed the mandatory state list and many prescriptive specifics, vesting the State Board with rule‑making authority to set criteria consistent with evidence‑based best practices.
