     3.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2, a board of county commissioners, by a vote of the majority of the board, may set the annual salary for the county commissioners of that county at a rate higher than the salary provided pursuant to subsection 2. A board of county commissioners is not limited in the number of times that it may raise the salary of the county commissioners for that county.”.

     Amend the bill as a whole by deleting sections 2 through 6 and adding new sections designated sections 2 through 5, following section 1, to read as follows:

     “Sec. 2. Except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this act, each county shall commence payment of the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table of annual salaries contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, on July 1, 2003.

     Sec. 3.  1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a board of county commissioners may apply to the Committee on Local Government Finance for a waiver from the requirement to increase the annual salaries of elected officers of the county to the annual salaries set forth in the table contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, if the board determines that the financial resources of the county are insufficient to pay those increased annual salaries in Fiscal Year 2003-2004. The Committee on Local Government Finance shall grant such a waiver if it finds that the financial resources of the county are insufficient to pay those increased annual salaries in Fiscal Year 2003-2004.

     2.  A board of county commissioners that has been granted a waiver for a fiscal year may apply to the Committee on Local Government Finance for an additional waiver for the next consecutive fiscal year if it finds that the financial resources of the county continue to be insufficient to pay the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act. There is no limitation on the number of waivers for consecutive fiscal years that the board of county commissioners may be granted if the board of county commissioners finds that the financial resources of the county continue to be insufficient to pay the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, in that fiscal year.

     3.  After commencing payment of the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, a board of county commissioners may not apply for a waiver in any subsequent fiscal year.

     4.  The increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in subsection 2 of NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, must not be paid retroactively for a period to which a waiver granted pursuant to subsection 1 is applicable.

     Sec. 4.  The provisions of subsection 1 of NRS 354.599 do not apply to any additional expenses of a local government that are related to the provisions of this act.

     Sec. 5.  This act becomes effective upon July 1, 2003.”.

     Amend the title of the bill, second line, by deleting:

“district attorneys and sheriffs;” and inserting:

“certain elected county officers; providing that a board of county commissioners may vote to raise the annual salary for a county commissioner of that county;”.

     Amend the summary of the bill to read as follows:

“SUMMARY—Increases compensation of certain elected county officers. (BDR 20‑163)”.
