2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 233B - Nevada Administrative Procedure Act|NRS 233B.0633 - Temporary regulation: Review by Legislative Commission or Subcommittee to Review Regulations; approval of or objection by Commission or Subcommittee; revision and resubmission by agency.

  1. Upon the request of a Legislator, the Legislative Commission may examine a temporary regulation adopted by an agency that is not yet effective pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 233B.070 to determine whether the temporary regulation conforms to the statutory authority pursuant to which it was adopted and whether the temporary regulation carries out the intent of the Legislature in granting that authority.   2. If a temporary regulation that the Legislative Commission is requested to examine pursuant to subsection 1 was required to be adopted by the agency pursuant to a federal statute or regulation and the temporary regulation exceeds the specific statutory authority of the agency or sets forth requirements that are more stringent than a statute of this State, the agency shall submit a statement to the Legislative Commission that adoption of the temporary regulation was required by a federal statute or regulation. The statement must include the specific citation of the federal statute or regulation requiring such adoption.  3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the Legislative Commission shall:  (a) Review the temporary regulation at its next regularly scheduled meeting if the request for examination of the temporary regulation is received more than 10 working days before the meeting; or  (b) Refer the temporary regulation for review to the Subcommittee to Review Regulations appointed pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 233B.067.  4. If an agency determines that an emergency exists which requires a temporary regulation of the agency for which a Legislator requested an examination pursuant to subsection 1 to become effective before the next meeting of the Legislative Commission is scheduled to be held, the agency may notify the Legislative Counsel in writing of the emergency. Upon receipt of such a notice, the Legislative Counsel shall refer the temporary regulation for review by the Subcommittee to Review Regulations as soon as practicable.  5. If the Legislative Commission, or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations if the temporary regulation was referred, approves the temporary regulation, the Legislative Counsel shall notify the agency that the agency may file the temporary regulation with the Secretary of State. If the Commission or the Subcommittee objects to the temporary regulation after determining that:   (a) If subsection 2 is applicable, the temporary regulation is not required pursuant to a federal statute or regulation;  (b) The temporary regulation does not conform to statutory authority; or  (c) The temporary regulation does not carry out legislative intent,  the Legislative Counsel shall attach to the temporary regulation a written notice of the objection, including, if practicable, a statement of the reasons for the objection, and shall promptly return the temporary regulation to the agency.  6. If the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations has objected to a temporary regulation, the agency that adopted the temporary regulation shall revise the temporary regulation to conform to the statutory authority pursuant to which it was adopted and to carry out the intent of the Legislature in granting that authority and return it to the Legislative Counsel within 60 days after the agency received the written notice of the objection to the temporary regulation pursuant to subsection 5. Upon receipt of the revised temporary regulation, the Legislative Counsel shall resubmit the temporary regulation to the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee for review. If the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee approves the revised temporary regulation, the Legislative Counsel shall notify the agency that the agency may file the revised temporary regulation with the Secretary of State.  7. If the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations objects to the revised temporary regulation, the Legislative Counsel shall attach to the revised temporary regulation a written notice of the objection, including, if practicable, a statement of the reasons for the objection, and shall promptly return the revised temporary regulation to the agency. The agency shall continue to revise it and resubmit it to the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee within 30 days after the agency received the written notice of the objection to the revised temporary regulation.
