NRS 62B.150 - Certain counties to pay assessment for operation of regional facilities for detention of children partially supported by State.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, each county shall pay an assessment for the operation of each regional facility for the detention of children that is partially supported by the State of Nevada and is operated by a county whose population is less than 700,000.
2. The assessment owed by each county equals the total amount budgeted by the Legislature for the operation of the regional facility, minus any money appropriated by the Legislature for the support of the regional facility, divided by the total number of pupils in this State in the preceding school year, excluding pupils in counties whose population is 700,000 or more, and multiplied by the number of pupils in the assessed county. The Administrator of the Division of Child and Family Services shall calculate the assessment owed by each county in June of each year for the ensuing fiscal year.
3. Each county must pay the assessed amount to the Division of Child and Family Services in quarterly installments that are due the first day of the first month of each calendar quarter.
4. The Administrator of the Division of Child and Family Services shall deposit the money received pursuant to subsection 3 in a separate account in the State General Fund. The money in the account may be withdrawn only by the Administrator for the operation of regional facilities for the detention of children.
5. Revenue raised by a county to pay the assessment required pursuant to subsection 1 is not subject to the limitations on revenue imposed pursuant to chapter 354 of NRS and must not be included in the calculation of those limitations.
6. The provisions of this section do not apply to a county whose population is 700,000 or more.
7. As used in this section, “regional facility for the detention of children” or “regional facility” does not include the institution in Lyon County known as Western Nevada Regional Youth Center.
