In the most timely manner practicable after receiving a written request for an electronic version of instructional material from a student with a print access disability, an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education must provide the student, at no cost, an electronic version of each requested instructional material that the institution determines is essential to the success of the student in a course of study.

If an electronic version of requested nonprinted instructional material is not currently available at the institution or at another institution of the System, the institution must contact the publisher of the nonprinted instructional material and request an electronic version. A publisher that has an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material must provide the electronic version to the institution for distribution to the student.

If the publisher does not have an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material, the institution must create and provide an electronic version to the student in the most timely manner practicable after the publisher notifies it. Instructional material means any published textbook and other published material that is used by students of the System, and includes nonprinted instructional material.

Print access disability means a condition in which a person's independent reading of, reading comprehension of, or visual access to printed material is limited or reduced because of a sensory, neurological, cognitive, physical or psychiatric disability. The section was added by Chapter 175 of the 2003 Statutes of Nevada, Senate Bill 62, approved .
