Amend the bill as a whole by adding a new section designated sec. 57.5, following sec. 57, to read as follows:
“Sec. 57.5. NRS 360.690 is hereby amended to read as follows:
360.690 1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 360.730, the executive director shall estimate monthly the amount each local government, special district and enterprise district will receive from the account pursuant to the provisions of this section.
2. The executive director shall establish a base monthly allocation for each local government, special district and enterprise district by dividing the amount determined pursuant to NRS 360.680 for each local government, special district and enterprise district by 12 and the state treasurer shall, except as otherwise provided in subsections 3, 4 and 5, remit monthly that amount to each local government, special district and enterprise district.
3. If, after making the allocation to each enterprise district for the month, the executive director determines there is not sufficient money available in the county’s subaccount in the account to allocate to each local government and special district the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2, he shall prorate the money in the county’s subaccount and allocate to each local government and special district an amount equal to the percentage of the amount that the local government or special district received from the total amount which was distributed to all local governments and special districts within the county for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made. The state treasurer shall remit that amount to the local government or special district.
4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if the executive director determines that there is money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account after the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 has been allocated to each local government, special district and enterprise district, he shall immediately determine and allocate each:
(a) Local government’s share of the remaining money by:
(1) Multiplying one-twelfth of the amount allocated pursuant to NRS 360.680 by one plus the sum of the:
(I) Percentage change in the population of the local government for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made, as certified by the governor pursuant to NRS 360.285 except as otherwise provided in subsection 6; and
(II) Average percentage of change in the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the local government, including assessed valuation attributable to a redevelopment agency but excluding the portion attributable to the net proceeds of minerals, over the year in which the allocation is made, as projected by the department pursuant to NRS 361.390, and the 4 fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made; and
(2) Using the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) to calculate and allocate to each local government an amount equal to the proportion that the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) bears to the total amount of the figures calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this paragraph and subparagraph (1) of paragraph (b), respectively, for the local governments and special districts located in the same county multiplied by the total amount available in the subaccount; and
(b) Special district’s share of the remaining money by:
(1) Multiplying one-twelfth of the amount allocated pursuant to NRS 360.680 by one plus the average change in the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the special district, including assessed valuation attributable to a redevelopment agency but excluding the portion attributable to the net proceeds of minerals, over the 5 fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made; and
(2) Using the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) to calculate and allocate to each special district an amount equal to the proportion that the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) bears to the total amount of the figures calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this paragraph and subparagraph (1) of paragraph (a), respectively, for the local governments and special districts located in the same county multiplied by the total amount available in the subaccount.
FLUSH
The state treasurer shall remit the amount allocated to each
local government or special district pursuant to this subsection.
5. The executive director shall not allocate any amount to a local government or special district pursuant to subsection 4, unless the amount distributed and allocated to each of the local governments and special districts in the county in each preceding month of the fiscal year in which the allocation is to be made was at least equal to the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2. If the amounts distributed to the local governments and special districts in the county for the preceding months of the fiscal year in which the allocation is to be made were less than the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 and the executive director determines there is money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account after the distribution for the month has been made, he shall:
(a) Determine the amount by which the base monthly allocations determined pursuant to subsection 2 for each local government and special district in the county for the preceding months of the fiscal year in which the allocation is to be made exceeds the amounts actually received by the local governments and special districts in the county for the same period; and
(b) Compare the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (a) to the amount of money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account to determine which amount is greater.
FLUSH
If the executive director determines that the amount
determined pursuant to paragraph (a) is greater, he shall allocate the money
remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account pursuant to the provisions
of subsection 3. If the executive director determines that the amount of money
remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account is greater, he shall first
allocate the money necessary for each local government and special district to
receive the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 and the
state treasurer shall remit that money so allocated. The executive director
shall allocate any additional money in the county’s subaccount in the account
pursuant to the provisions of subsection 4.
6. The percentage change calculated pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 4 must:
(a) [If] Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), if the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce issues population totals that conflict with the totals certified by the governor pursuant to NRS 360.285, be an estimate of the change in population for the calendar year, based upon the population totals issued by the Bureau of the Census.
(b) If a new method of determining population is established pursuant to NRS 360.283, be adjusted in a manner that will result in the percentage change being based on population determined pursuant to the new method for both the fiscal year in which the allocation is made and the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made.
(c) If a local government files a formal appeal with the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce concerning the population total of the local government issued by the Bureau of the Census, be calculated using the population total certified by the governor pursuant to NRS 360.285 until the appeal is resolved. If additional money is allocated to the local government because the population total certified by the governor is greater than the population total issued by the Bureau of the Census, the state treasurer shall deposit that additional money in a separate interest-bearing account. Upon resolution of the appeal, if the population total finally determined pursuant to the appeal is:
(1) Equal to or less than the population total initially issued by the Bureau of the Census, the state treasurer shall transfer the total amount in the separate interest-bearing account, including interest but excluding any administrative fees, to the local government tax distribution account for allocation among the local governments in the county pursuant to subsection 4.
(2) Greater than the population total initially issued by the Bureau of the Census, the executive director shall calculate the amount that would have been allocated to the local government pursuant to subsection 4 if the population total finally determined pursuant to the appeal had been used and the state treasurer shall remit to the local government an amount equal to the difference between the amount actually distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to this subparagraph or the total amount in the separate interest-bearing account, including interest but excluding any administrative fees, whichever is less.
7. On or before February 15 of each year, the executive director shall provide to each local government, special district and enterprise district a preliminary estimate of the revenue it will receive from the account for that fiscal year.
8. On or before March 15 of each year, the executive director shall:
(a) Make an estimate of the receipts from each tax included in the account on an accrual basis for the next fiscal year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including an estimate for each county of the receipts from each tax included in the account; and
(b) Provide to each local government, special district and enterprise district an estimate of the amount that local government, special district or enterprise district would receive based upon the estimate made pursuant to paragraph (a) and calculated pursuant to the provisions of this section.
9. A local government, special district or enterprise district may use the estimate provided by the executive director pursuant to subsection 8 in the preparation of its budget.”.
