     2.  Before preparing a fiscal note pursuant to this section, the Fiscal Analysis Division shall:

     (b) Request that the local governments review the bill or joint resolution and, if required, prepare a fiscal note pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2 of NRS 218.2752.

     3.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a fiscal note is not required if the only impact on a local government is that a bill or joint resolution increases or newly provides for a term of imprisonment in a county or city jail or detention facility, or makes release on probation therefrom less likely. The Fiscal Analysis Division shall prepare a fiscal note for a bill or joint resolution for which a fiscal note is not otherwise required pursuant to this subsection if, within 8 working days after the bill or joint resolution is introduced:

     “Sec. 6.5.  NRS 218.2751 is hereby amended to read as follows:

     218.2751  The fiscal note must be factual and concise in nature, and must provide a reliable estimate of the dollar amount of effect the bill or joint resolution will have. If the agency or local government concludes that no dollar amount can be estimated, the note must so state with reasons for such a conclusion.”.

     Amend the bill as a whole by deleting sec. 17 and adding new sections designated sections 17 and 17.5, following sec. 16, to read as follows:

     2.  Release to the public the name of any lobbyist who fails to file any activity report within 14 days after the date it is required to be filed.

     3.  Revoke the registration of any lobbyist who fails to file any activity report within 30 days after the date it is required to be filed [.] or fails to file two or more activity reports within the time required.

     Sec. 17.5.  NRS 218.940 is hereby amended to read as follows:

     218.940  1.  [Any] Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a registrant who files an activity report after the time provided in NRS 218.926 shall pay to the Director a fee for late filing of $10 for each day that it was late, but the Director may reduce or waive this fee upon a finding of just cause. The Legislative Commission may by regulation exempt a classification of lobbyist from the fee for late filing.

     2.  An activity report with respect to which a late filing fee has been paid by the registrant or waived by the Director shall be deemed timely filed, and the late filing is not a public offense.”.
