§ 217.450. Procedure for award of grants; formula

1. The Commission on Behavioral Health shall advise the Administrator of the Division

concerning the award of grants from the Account for Aid for Victims of Domestic or

Sexual Violence. 2. The Administrator of the Division shall give priority to those applications for

grants from the Account for Aid for Victims of Domestic or Sexual Violence submitted

by organizations which offer the broadest range of services for the least cost within

one or more counties. The Administrator shall not approve the use of money from a grant to acquire any

buildings. 3. 1 The Administrator of the Division shall award grants to not more than: (a) One applicant to provide services for victims of domestic violence and one applicant

to provide services for victims of sexual violence in counties whose population is

less than 100,000; and (b) Two applicants to provide services for victims of domestic violence and two applicants

to provide services for victims of sexual violence in counties whose population is

100,000 or more. 4. The Administrator of the Division has the final authority to approve or deny an

application for a grant. The Administrator shall notify each applicant in writing of the action taken on

its application within 45 days after the deadline for filing the application. 5. In determining the amount of money to be allocated for grants, the Administrator

of the Division shall use the following formula: (a) A basic allocation of $7,000 must be made for each county whose population is

less than 100,000. For counties whose population is 100,000 or more, the basic allocation is $35,000. These allocations must be increased or decreased for each fiscal year ending after

June 30, 1990, by the same percentage that the amount deposited in the account during

the preceding fiscal year, pursuant to NRS 122.060 , is greater or less than the sum of $791,000. (b) Any additional revenue available in the Account must be allocated to grants, on

a per capita basis, for all counties whose population is 20,000 or more. (c) Seventy-five percent of the revenue allocated to each county must be allocated

for grants for services for victims of domestic violence and 25 percent must be allocated

for grants for services for victims of sexual violence. (d) Money remaining in the Account after disbursement of grants does not revert and

may be awarded in a subsequent year. 1

Laws 2021, c. 31, § 2.5, added a similar provision as new Subsec. 3, reading: “The

Administrator of the Division shall award grants to not more than one applicant in

each county whose population is less than 100,000.” The Legislative Counsel Bureau

will resolve the text differences between that provision and Subsec. 3 as added by

Laws 2021, c. 500, § 4.
