(a) Shall require the review of each claim submitted pursuant to any contract or other agreement made with the governing body to provide any financing or reimbursement pursuant to NRS 271A.120, by an independent auditor.
(b) Shall not:
(1) With respect to any district created on or after July 1, 2011, provide any financing or reimbursement pursuant to NRS 271A.120 for:

(II) Any project that includes the relocation on or after July 1, 2011, to the district of any retail facilities of a retailer from another location outside of and within 3 miles of the boundary of the district. Each pledge of money pursuant to NRS 271A.070 shall be deemed to exclude any amounts attributable to any tangible personal property sold at retail, or stored, used or otherwise consumed, in the district during a fiscal year by a retailer who, on or after July 1, 2011, relocates any of its retail facilities to the district from another location outside of and within 3 miles of the boundary of the district.
(2) Provide any financing or reimbursement pursuant to NRS 271A.120 from the proceeds of the taxes described in subparagraph (2) of paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 271A.070 that are collected from any retail facilities of a retailer which, on or after July 1, 2013, locates within the boundary of a district.
2. The provisions of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (b) of subsection 1 do not apply to the governing body of a municipality with respect to any district created before July 1, 2013, if:
(a) The district is a district in which, during the first 5 full fiscal years after the creation of the district, the amount of the money pledged pursuant to NRS 271A.070 and received by the municipality with respect to the district is equal to zero:
(1) For the period consisting of the first 20 full fiscal years after the creation of the district; and
(2) For the period consisting of the 5 full fiscal years immediately following the period described in subparagraph (1), except that the governing body of the municipality may provide financing or reimbursement pursuant to NRS 271A.120 from not more than 0.5625 percent of the amount of the proceeds of the taxes described in subparagraph (2) of paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 271A.070 that are collected during the period described in this subparagraph from any retail facilities of a retailer which, on or after July 1, 2013, locates within the boundary of a district; or
(b) The governing body obtains an opinion from independent bond counsel stating that the applicability of those provisions would impair an existing contract for the sale of bonds that were issued before July 1, 2013.
3. The owner of a project shall, upon request, provide to the Department of Taxation information that identifies the retail facilities that open or close within the project.
