There have been a number of bills brought by this legislature that would have diminished your right to parent your children and we are pleased to report that we have been successful in amending or killing many of these bad bills!
AB295—A comprehensive sexuality education bill intended to force every district in Nevada to adopt an expansive and graphic sex ed curriculum and mandate 'opt-out', which eliminates express parental permission before teaching lessons.
This bill died without receiving a hearing, we believe based on a number of factors including CCSD opposition based on 2015 parents surveyed and decidedly voted to maintain 'opt-in'. See CCSD statement here.
(CSE vs. SRA— Why Sexual Risk Avoidance works.)
AB430--Could have allowed the Division of Child and Family Services to establish a family home visiting system by governmental entities to visit homes of children during early childhood.
This bill was heavily amended to remove any of the mandates and will only exist as a study of potential beneļ¬ts for certain underserved populations.
AB123—This bill expanded reporting requirements for children exempt from vaccines for religious or medical reasons, to the Department of Health and Human Services as well as the trustee of that district.
This bill is oļ¬cially dead.
SB179—This bill eliminated parental notiļ¬cation requirements that are in Nevada State Statute. It decriminalizes every aspect of abortion and It also eliminates important informed consent requirements like asking a woman her age and verifying she is not under coercion.
This bill was amended to keep parental notiļ¬cation in Nevada State Statute. This will allow us to potentially pass legislation down the road that will ļ¬x this law and allow Nevada, once again, to protect girls through parental notiļ¬cation requirements.
AB156— Appoints Educational Guardians for children who are in need of help.
An amendment was added to this bill that clariļ¬ed the language to clarify that this applies to children taken into custody of Child Protective Services and CAN include the parent if possible. SB551 - A payroll tax that adds approximately $9.5 million to the Opportunity Scholarship, bringing the amount of money for the program to approximately $10 million a year, however it also eliminates from statute Nevada's ESA Program.
Although funding was added, the Opportunity Scholarship program has been capped. No new funding will be allowed and no additional students will be admitted into the program, or allowed to access the funds. Democrats removed the Educational Savings Account language showing their anti-parental choice bias.
We are a non-partisan group who represents parents and families in Nevada. We support legislation that seeks to strengthen families and we support legislators who support parents and strengthening the family. We will continue to monitor legislation for issues that impact parents and families. | |
