to expend more than $25,000: (a) May be submitted to the Attorney General, who shall determine whether it is in
proper form and compatible with the laws of this State. The Attorney General shall set forth in detail, in writing, addressed to the governing
bodies of the public agencies concerned, any specific respects in which he or she
finds that the proposed agreement fails to comply with the requirements of law. Any failure by the Attorney General to disapprove an agreement submitted under the
provisions of this section within 30 days after its submission shall be deemed to
constitute his or her approval. (b) Must be recorded with the county recorder of each county in which a participating
political subdivision of this State is located and filed with the Secretary of State. 2. The Attorney General may charge the cost of performing any determination made pursuant
to subsection 1 to the public agency that submits the agreement to the Attorney General
for review, but only if the determination is made within 30 days after the date on
which the Attorney General receives the agreement. Any such costs must be charged in a manner that is substantially similar to the
manner for charging state agencies for services, as set forth in NRS 228.113 .
