§ 241.037. Action by Attorney General or person denied right conferred by chapter; limitation on actions

1. The Attorney General may sue in any court of competent jurisdiction to have an

action taken by a public body declared void or for an injunction against any public

body or person to require compliance with or prevent violations of the provisions

of this chapter. The injunction: (a) May be issued without proof of actual damage or other irreparable harm sustained

by any person. (b) Does not relieve any person from criminal prosecution for the same violation. 2. Any person denied a right conferred by this chapter may sue in the district court

of the district in which the public body ordinarily holds its meetings or in which

the plaintiff resides. A suit may seek to have an action taken by the public body declared void, to require

compliance with or prevent violations of this chapter or to determine the applicability

of this chapter to discussions or decisions of the public body. The court may order payment of reasonable attorney's fees and court costs to a successful

plaintiff in a suit brought under this subsection. 3. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 241.0365 : (a) Any suit brought against a public body pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 to require

compliance with the provisions of this chapter must be commenced within 120 days after

the action objected to was taken by that public body in violation of this chapter. (b) Any such suit brought to have an action declared void must be commenced within

60 days after the action objected to was taken.
