What it is and who needs it.
What the cosmetology school bond actually guarantees
Nevada licenses cosmetology schools through the State Board of Cosmetology under NRS Chapter 644A. The school bond is a tuition-protection guarantee: it stands behind students’ unearned, prepaid tuition so that if a school closes or fails to deliver the training paid for, students are not left empty-handed.
It is a three-party arrangement: the school (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board together with the school’s students. If a school violates Chapter 644A or fails to refund unearned tuition, a harmed student can recover against the bond.
One honest note on the statute. NRS 644A.720, which had spelled out the school surety-bond requirement, was repealed when Chapter 644 was reorganized into 644A — but the Board still requires a $10,000 school bond as a condition of licensure by rule. Confirm the current requirement with the Board; if it ever no longer applies to you, you should not be sold a bond you don't need.
