1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8, each county shall pay an assessment

for the operation of each regional facility for the treatment and rehabilitation 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 total aggregated amount of assessments required to be paid by all counties

subject to the requirements of subsection 1 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. 3. The assessment owed by each assessed county equals the sum of: (a) Fifty percent of the total aggregated amount of assessments prescribed by subsection

2, 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; and (b) Fifty percent of the total aggregated amount of assessments prescribed by subsection

2, divided by the total number of bed days at the regional facility for the 2 immediately

preceding fiscal years, and multiplied by the number of bed days used by the assessed

county. 4. The Administrator of the Division of Child and Family Services shall calculate

the assessment owed by each county pursuant to subsection 3 in June of each year for

the ensuing fiscal year. 5. Each county must pay the assessed amount to the Division of Child and Family Services

quarter. 6. The Administrator of the Division of Child and Family Services shall deposit the

money received pursuant to subsection 5 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 The money in the account may be withdrawn only by the Administrator for the operation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 treatment and rehabilitation of children. 7. 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. 8. The provisions of this section do not apply to a county whose population is 700,000

or more. 9. As used in this section: (a) “ Bed day ” means a day for which a specific bed at a regional facility is occupied.
