218D.115 Priority and order of drafting of requests from Executive Department, local governments and other entities.
1. Upon request made within the time allowed and limits established pursuant to NRS 218D.050 to 218D.215, inclusive, the Legislative Counsel shall advise any agency or officer of the Executive Branch of the State Government, and any county, school district or city, as to the preparation of measures to be submitted to the Legislature.
2. To ensure the greatest possible equity in the handling of requests, drafting must proceed as follows:
(a) Requests for legislative measures from each agency or officer of the Executive Branch of the State Government or from a county, school district or city must, insofar as is possible, be acted upon in the order in which they are received, unless a different priority is designated by the requester.
(b) As soon as an agency or officer of the Executive Branch of the State Government has requested 10 legislative measures for any session, the Legislative Counsel may request the agency or officer to designate the priority for each succeeding request.
(c) Not later than 2 weeks before the commencement of a regular session of the Legislature, any county, school district or city which has requested the preparation of more than one legislative measure for that session shall submit to the Legislative Counsel a list which designates the order of priority for each request.
Ê The priority designated pursuant to this subsection must guide the Legislative Counsel in acting upon the requests of the respective agencies and officers of the Executive Branch of the State Government and the counties, school districts and cities to ensure each agency and officer, and each county, school district and city, as nearly as is possible, an equal rank.
