an accommodations facilitator that facilitates the rental of a residential unit in

the county or a room within such a residential unit for the purposes of transient

lodging to submit a quarterly report to an agency of the county of the information

required by subsection 2 that is collected by the accommodations facilitator. (b) In a county whose population is less than 700,000 may adopt an ordinance requiring

an accommodations facilitator that facilitates the rental of a residential unit in

the county or a room within such a residential unit for the purposes of transient

lodging to submit a quarterly report to an agency of the county of the information

required by subsection 2 that is collected by the accommodations facilitator. (c) May adopt an ordinance requiring an owner or lessee which uses an accommodations

facilitator that facilitates the rental of a residential unit in the county or a room

within such a residential unit for the purposes of transient lodging to submit a quarterly

report to an agency of the county of any information required by subsection 2 regarding

the rental that is not collected by the accommodations facilitator. 2. The report required by subsection 1 must state, for the quarter: (a) The number of bookings, listings, owners and lessees for the county; (b) The average number of bookings per listing for the county; (c) Current year-to-date booking value for the county; (d) Current year-to-date revenue collected from all rentals through the accommodations

facilitator in the county, disaggregated by owner or lessee; and (e) The average length of a rental in the county. 3. An accommodations facilitator that submits the report required by subsection 1

shall provide a copy of the report to the Department of Taxation on a quarterly basis. 4. An ordinance adopted pursuant to subsection 1 must authorize an agency of the county

to issue subpoenas for the production of documents, records or materials relevant

for determining whether a residential unit in the county or a room within such a residential

unit has been rented in violation of any law of this State or an ordinance adopted

by the board of county commissioners of the county. The ordinance must provide that such a subpoena may be issued only if: (a) There is evidence sufficient to support a reasonable belief that a residential

unit in the county or a room within such a residential unit has been rented or is

being rented in violation of any law of this State or an ordinance adopted by the

board of county commissioners of the county; and (b) The subpoena identifies the rental alleged to be in violation of any law of this

State or an ordinance adopted by the board of county commissioners of the county and

the provision of law or ordinance allegedly violated. A subpoena issued pursuant to the ordinance must be mailed by regular and certified

mail to the accommodations facilitator or, if applicable, the owner or lessee who

was required to file a quarterly report regarding the rental pursuant to the ordinance. 5. An ordinance adopted pursuant to subsection 1 must require: (a) An accommodations facilitator to whom a subpoena has been issued pursuant to the

ordinance to: (1) Provide notice of the subpoena to the user of the accommodations facilitator who

provided the rental identified in the subpoena. (2) Produce any subpoenaed books, papers or documents not later than 21 days after

providing the notice required by subparagraph (1) unless otherwise ordered by a court. (b) An owner or lessee of a rental to whom a subpoena has been issued pursuant to

the ordinance to produce any subpoenaed books, papers or documents not later than

21 days after the issuance of the subpoena, unless otherwise ordered by a court. 6. If a person to whom a subpoena has been issued pursuant to an ordinance adopted

pursuant to subsection 1 refuses to produce any document, record or material that

the subpoena requires, the agency of the county issuing the subpoena may apply to

the district court for the judicial district in which the county is located for the

enforcement of the subpoena in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of a

subpoena in a civil action. 7. As used in this section: (a) “ Accommodations facilitator ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 244.35352 . (b) “ Hosting platform ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 244.35353 . (c) “ Residential unit ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 244.353535 .
