Chapter 232B - Legislative Review of Public Agencies
NRS 232B.220 - Review of certain boards and commissions; assessment of boards and commissions for costs of review.
1. The Sunset Subcommittee of the Legislative Commission shall conduct a review of each board and commission in this State which is not provided for in the Nevada Constitution or established by an executive order of the Governor to determine whether the board or commission should be terminated, modified, consolidated with another board or commission or continued. Such a review must include, without limitation:
(a) An evaluation of the major policies and programs of the board or commission, including, without limitation, an examination of other programs or services offered in this State to determine if any other provided programs or services duplicate those offered by the board or commission;
(b) Any recommendations for improvements in the policies and programs offered by the board or commission; and
(c) A determination of whether any statutory tax exemptions, abatements or money set aside to be provided to the board or commission should be terminated, modified or continued.
2. The Sunset Subcommittee shall review:
(a) Not less than 20 boards and commissions specified in subsection 1 each year; and
(b) Each of those boards and commissions not less than once every 10 years.
3. For each review of a board or commission that the Sunset Subcommittee conducts, the Sunset Subcommittee shall submit a written assessment to the board or commission setting forth the costs of the review. In determining the amount of an assessment pursuant to this subsection, the Sunset Subcommittee shall consider, based upon the information provided by the board or commission pursuant to NRS 232B.230, whether any additional analysis or evaluation is required to review the board or commission because of the specialized nature of the board or commission. As soon as practicable after a board or commission receives a written assessment pursuant to this subsection, the board or commission shall pay the amount set forth in the written assessment to the Sunset Subcommittee.
4. Any action taken by the Sunset Subcommittee concerning a board or commission pursuant to NRS 232B.210 to 232B.250, inclusive, is in addition or supplemental to any action taken by the Legislative Commission pursuant to NRS 232B.010 to 232B.100, inclusive.
