§ 62B.165 — Counties to pay assessment for activities of Youth Parole Bureau; approval for county to carry out provisions relating to parole; exemption from assessment

1. Unless an exemption is approved pursuant to subsection 4, each county shall pay an assessment for the activities of the Youth Parole Bureau that are necessary to carry out the provisions of NRS 63.700 to 63.780 , inclusive.
2. The assessment owed by each county equals the total amount budgeted by the Legislature for the operation of the Youth Parole Bureau, divided by the total number of pupils enrolled in grades 7 through 12 in public schools in this State in the preceding school year and multiplied by the number of pupils enrolled in grades 7 through 12 in public schools 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. A county may submit a proposal to the Governor for the county to carry out the provisions of NRS 63.700 to 63.780 , inclusive, with respect to any child released from a state facility for the detention of children who resides within the county. If the Governor approves the proposal, the Governor must submit a recommendation to the Interim Finance Committee to exempt the county from the assessment required pursuant to subsection 1. The Interim Finance Committee, upon receiving the recommendation from the Governor, shall consider the proposal and determine whether to approve the exemption. In considering whether to approve the exemption, the Interim Finance Committee shall consider, among other things, the best interests of the State, the effect of the exemption and the intent of the Legislature in requiring the assessment to be paid by each county.
