Amend sec. 3, page 1, line 16, after "property." by inserting:

"The basis for the computation of the assessments must be the frontage or another uniform and quantifiable basis.".

Amend the bill as a whole by renumbering sec. 8 as sec. 9 and adding a new section designated sec. 8, following sec. 7, to read as follows:

"Sec. 8. NRS 271.357 is hereby amended to read as follows:

271.357 1. The governing body of each municipality which creates an improvement district [may] shall establish a procedure to allow a person whose property will be included within the boundaries of the district to apply for a hardship determination.

2. The procedure must include the referral of applications to an appropriate social services agency within the local government for evaluation. The agency shall consider each application on the basis of ability to pay the assessments attributable to the applicant’s property and render a recommendation of approval or disapproval to the governing body.

3. The procedure must include a requirement for renewal of the hardship determination as often as the governing body deems necessary. An application for the renewal of a hardship determination must be treated in a manner that is similar to the evaluation and approval required for an initial determination.".

Amend the title of the bill by deleting the second and third lines and inserting:

"district for a street beautification project; requiring the governing body of a municipality which creates an improvement district to establish a procedure for hardship determinations; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.".
