2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 428 - Indigent Persons|NRS 428.050 - Levy of tax ad valorem; establishment of maximum rate; limitations on expenditures and transfers.

  1. In addition to the tax levied pursuant to NRS 428.185 and 428.285 and any tax levied pursuant to NRS 450.425, the board of county commissioners of a county shall, at the time provided for the adoption of its final budget, levy an ad valorem tax to provide aid and relief to those persons coming within the purview of this chapter. In a county whose population is 700,000 or more, this levy must not exceed that adopted for the purposes of this chapter for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971, diminished by 12.3 cents for each $100 of assessed valuation. In a county whose population is less than 700,000 the rate of the tax must be calculated to produce not more than the amount of money allocated pursuant to NRS 428.295.  2. The board of county commissioners of any county in which there was no levy adopted for the purposes of this chapter for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971, may request that the Nevada Tax Commission establish a maximum rate for the levy of taxes ad valorem by the county to provide aid and relief pursuant to this chapter.  3. No county may expend or contract to expend for that aid and relief a sum in excess of that provided by the maximum ad valorem levy set forth in subsection 1 of this section and NRS 428.185, 428.285 and 450.425, or established pursuant to subsection 2, together with such outside resources as it may receive from third persons, including, but not limited to, expense reimbursements, grants-in-aid or donations lawfully attributable to the county indigent fund.  4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no interfund transfer, medium-term obligation procedure or contingency transfer may be made by the board of county commissioners to provide resources or appropriations to a county indigent fund in excess of those which may be otherwise lawfully provided pursuant to subsections 1, 2 and 3 of this section and NRS 428.185, 428.285 and 450.425. If the health of indigent persons in the county is placed in jeopardy and there is a lack of money to provide necessary medical care under this chapter, the board of county commissioners may declare an emergency and provide additional money for medical care from whatever sources may be available.

  1. If it appears to the satisfaction of the board of county commissioners that the county of residence of an indigent person applying for relief is another county in this State, the board shall provide temporary relief for the indigent person in accordance with the policies and standards established and approved by the board of county commissioners and within the limits of money which may be lawfully appropriated thereby for this purpose pursuant to NRS 428.050, 428.285 and 450.425, and shall notify immediately the board of county commissioners of the county of residence of the indigent person.  2. The notice must be in writing, attested by the clerk of the board of county commissioners, and deposited in the post office, addressed to the board of county commissioners of the other county.  3. The board of county commissioners receiving the notice may cause the indigent person to be removed immediately to that county, and shall pay a reasonable compensation for the temporary relief afforded. If the board of county commissioners chooses not to remove the indigent person, the county affording relief has a legal claim against any money lawfully available in that county for the relief necessarily furnished, and may recover it in a suit at law.

A recipient of aid under the provisions of NRS 428.030 who later acquires sufficient financial ability so to do shall reimburse the county which extended county hospitalization to the recipient for any unpaid portion of the aid granted. Action against the relatives of such person is not a condition precedent to action against the person.  4. The father, mother or child of sufficient financial ability, as appropriate, shall pay to the county the amount the county paid for the burial, entombment or cremation of a natural child or a natural parent.  5. The board of county commissioners shall advise the Attorney General of the failure of a responsible person to pay such amount and the Attorney General shall cause appropriate legal action to be taken to enforce the collection of all or part of such amount. If suit is filed to enforce the collection, the court shall determine the question of the sufficiency of the financial ability of the person against whom such action is filed, but the board of county commissioners shall determine the responsible person to be sued, and failure of an action against one such person shall not preclude subsequent or concurrent actions against others.  6. In determining the amount to be ordered for support pursuant to subsections 2 and 4, the court shall consider the circumstances of each party, including:  (a) The earning capacity and needs of each party;  (b) The obligations and assets of each party;  (c) The age and health of each party;  (d) The relationship between the parties; and  (e) Any other factor which the court deems just and equitable.
