CHAPTER..........

AN ACT relating to education; requiring the State Board of Finance
to issue general obligation bonds to make grants to certain
school districts to finance capital improvements; and
providing other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law creates the Fund to Assist Sch ool Districts in Financing Capital
Improvements and requires the Director of the Office of Finance to administer the
Fund. (NRS 387.333) Under existing law, the board of trustees of a school district
is required to submit, with any application for a grant of money from the Fund,
proof that the combined ad valorem tax rate of the county is at the limit imposed by
law and that one of the following additional emergency conditions exists on the
grounds of a school within the school district: (1) at least one bu ilding has been
condemned; (2) at least one of the facilities is unsuitable for use due to certain
conditions; or (3) one of the facilities is in such a condition that the costs of
renovating the facility would exceed 40 percent of the cost of constructing a new
facility. (NRS 387.3335) This bill requires the State Board of Finance to issue
$100,000,000 in general obligation bonds for credit to the Fund to Assist School
Districts in Financing Capital Improvements. This bill requires any proceeds of the
bonds to be used by the Director to make grants from the Fund to school districts in
a county whose population is less than 15,000.
