Senate Bill 551 in Nevada to Improve School Security
Senate Bill 551, introduced by Senator Cannizzaro, revises provisions relating to state financial administration, specifically for school security funding.
The act will authorize 50 percent of the proceeds of the tax in excess of the amount collected during Fiscal Year 2018-2019 to be transferred each month to the Clark County School District for the purposes of employing and equipping additional school police officers. A police department is prohibited from spending the proceeds of the tax unless the expenditure has been approved by a designated body and only if the use will not replace or supplant existing funding for the police department, as well.
