NRS277.140. Authority of public agency to submit certain agreements to Attorney General for approval; failure to disapprove such agreements within certain period to be deemed approval; recording and filing of such agreements; authority of Attorney General to charge cost of timely performing determinations related to such agreements.

      1.  Any agreement made pursuant to NRS 277.080 to 277.170, inclusive, for which it is reasonably foreseeable that a public agency will be required 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.
