§ 241.021. Public comments: Requirements

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, comments by the general public must

be taken by a public body: (a) At the beginning of the meeting before any items on which action may be taken

are heard by the public body and again before the adjournment of the meeting; or (b) After each item on the agenda on which action may be taken is discussed by the

public body, but before the public body takes action on the item. 2. Regardless of whether a public body takes comments from the general public pursuant

to paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 1, the public body must allow the general public

to comment on any matter that is not specifically included on the agenda as an action

item at some time before adjournment of the meeting. No action may be taken upon a matter raised during a period devoted to comments

by the general public until the matter itself has been specifically included on an

agenda as an item upon which action may be taken pursuant to subparagraph (2) of paragraph

(d) of subsection 3 of NRS 241.020 . 3. The provisions of subsections 1 and 2 do not prohibit a public body from taking

comments by the general public in addition to what is required pursuant to subsection

1 or 2. 4. If the agenda for a meeting authorizes the continuation of the meeting of a public

body to one or more other calendar days, the public body must have a period devoted

to comments by the general public: (a) At the beginning of each day that the meeting is held before any item on which

action may be taken is heard by the public body and again before the meeting recesses

for the day or the adjournment of the meeting; or (b) After each item on the agenda on which action may be taken is discussed by the

public body, but before the public body takes action on the item.
