NRS233B.115. Legislative Commission: Review of forms; revision and resubmission by agency; procedure upon refusal of agency to revise form.

      1.  Any person who objects to the content of a form required by an agency to be used in submitting an application, making a declaration or providing other information may request the Legislative Commission to determine whether the information required and the instructions for its preparation conform to the statutory authority pursuant to which the agency requires it. The Legislative Commission may also make such a determination on its own motion.

      2.  If the Legislative Commission finds that any part of the information or instructions does not conform to statutory authority, the Legislative Counsel shall so notify the agency.

      3.  After notification by the Legislative Counsel of the Legislative Commission’s objection to the form, the agency may revise the form to conform to statutory authority and resubmit it to the Legislative Commission. The agency shall not use the form until it has submitted a revised version to the Legislative Commission and the Commission has approved the form.

      4.  If the agency refuses to revise the form, it shall not use the form until after the expiration of the first 30 days of the next regular session of the Legislature. Before the 30th day of the next regular session the Legislature may, by concurrent resolution, declare that the form must not be used. The Legislative Counsel shall thereupon notify the agency that it shall not use the form. If the Legislature has not so declared by the 30th day of the session, the Legislative Counsel shall promptly notify the agency that it may use the form.
