Sec. 3. Except as otherwise provided in section 4 of this act, each county shall:
1. Commence payment of the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table of annual salaries contained in NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 of this act, on July 1, 2003.
2. Commence payment of the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table of annual salaries contained in NRS 245.043, as amended by section 2 of this act, on July 1, 2004.
Sec. 4. 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:
(a) The requirement to increase the annual salaries of elected officers of the county to the annual salaries set forth in the table contained in 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.
(b) The requirement to increase the annual salaries of elected officers of the county to the annual salaries set forth in the table contained in NRS 245.043, as amended by section 2 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 2004-2005.
FLUSH
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 the applicable fiscal year.
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 NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 or 2 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 NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 or 2 of this act, in that fiscal year.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, after commencing payment of the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 or 2 of this act, a board of county commissioners may not apply for a waiver in any subsequent fiscal year. The fact that a board of county commissioners has, in Fiscal Year 2003-2004, paid the annual salaries set forth in the table contained in NRS 245.043 as amended by section 1 of this act, does not preclude the board of county commissioners from applying for and being granted a waiver from paying the annual salaries set forth in the table contained in NRS 245.043 as amended by section 2 of this act in Fiscal Year 2004-2005 or in any consecutive year if the Committee on Local Government Finance determines that the financial resources of the county are insufficient to pay the increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county.
4. The increased annual salaries of the elected officers of the county set forth in the table contained in NRS 245.043, as amended by section 1 or 2 of this act, must not be paid retroactively for a period to which a waiver granted pursuant to subsection 1 is applicable.
Sec. 5. The provisions 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. 6. 1. This section and sections 1, 3, 4 and 5 of this act become effective on July 1, 2003.
2. Section 1 of this act expires by limitation on June 30, 2004.
3. Section 2 of this act becomes effective on July 1, 2004.”.
Amend the title of the bill to read as follows:
“AN ACT relating to public officers; increasing the compensation of district attorneys and sheriffs; authorizing a county to request and receive a waiver from the increases in compensation in the event of insufficient financial resources; providing that a waiver may not be applied for in certain circumstances; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.”.
