§ 233B.063. Submission of proposed permanent regulation to Legislative Counsel; duties of Legislative Counsel; adoption and expiration of temporary regulation

1. An agency that intends to adopt, amend or repeal a permanent regulation must deliver

to the Legislative Counsel a copy of the proposed regulation. The Legislative Counsel shall examine and if appropriate revise the language submitted

so that it is clear, concise and suitable for incorporation in the Nevada Administrative

Code, but shall not alter the meaning or effect without the consent of the agency. 2. Unless the proposed regulation is submitted to the Legislative Counsel between

July 1 of an even-numbered year and July 1 of the succeeding odd-numbered year, the

Legislative Counsel shall deliver the approved or revised text of the regulation within

30 days after it is submitted to the Legislative Counsel. If the proposed or revised text of a regulation is changed before adoption, the

agency shall submit the changed text to the Legislative Counsel, who shall examine

and revise it if appropriate pursuant to the standards of subsection 1. Unless it is submitted between July 1 of an even-numbered year and July 1 of the

succeeding odd-numbered year, the Legislative Counsel shall return it with any appropriate

revisions within 30 days. If the agency is a licensing board as defined in NRS 439B.225 and the proposed regulation relates to standards for the issuance or renewal of licenses,

permits or certificates of registration issued to a person or facility regulated by

the agency, the Legislative Counsel shall also deliver one copy of the approved or

revised text of the regulation to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Health and

Human Services. 3. An agency may adopt a temporary regulation between August 1 of an even-numbered

year and July 1 of the succeeding odd-numbered year without following the procedure

required by this section and NRS 233B.064 , but any such regulation expires by limitation on November 1 of the odd-numbered

year. A substantively identical permanent regulation may be subsequently adopted. 4. An agency may amend or suspend a permanent regulation between August 1 of an even-numbered

year and July 1 of the succeeding odd-numbered year by adopting a temporary regulation

in the same manner and subject to the same provisions as prescribed in subsection

3.
