Nevada Assembly Bill 406, part of the 2025-2026 legislative session, explicitly prohibits public schools from using artificial intelligence to perform the functions and duties of school counselors, school psychologists, or school social workers that relate to the mental health of pupils. The bill requires the Nevada Department of Education to develop a comprehensive policy for the use of artificial intelligence by school employees in these roles.
This restriction reflects legislative concern over AI applications in sensitive student mental health contexts and establishes a clear boundary for responsible AI deployment in Nevada schools. The requirement for the Department of Education to develop specific guidance represents a governance mechanism for AI implementation oversight.
Scoring note: Dimension 1 (partial AI literacy curriculum guidance) scores 1 for the establishment of boundaries and oversight mechanisms. This bill contributes to governance structure but does not mandate curriculum content itself.
