Sec. 14. NRS 281.477 is hereby amended to read as follows:

281.477 1. If a request for an opinion is filed with the commission pursuant to NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346, the commission shall conduct a public hearing on the request. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, the hearing must be held as expeditiously as possible, but not later than 15 days after the receipt of the request for the opinion.

2. Such a request must be accompanied by all evidence and arguments to be offered by the requester concerning the issues related to the request. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if such evidence and arguments are not submitted with the request, the commission may:

(a) Draw any conclusions it deems appropriate from the failure of the person or group of persons requesting the opinion to submit the evidence and arguments, other than a conclusion that a person alleged to have violated NRS 294A.345 acted with actual malice; and

(b) Decline to render an opinion.

The provisions of this subsection do not prohibit the commission from considering evidence or arguments presented by the requester after submission of the request for an opinion if the commission determines that consideration of such evidence or arguments is in the interest of justice.

3. The commission shall immediately notify any person alleged to have violated NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 that such an opinion has been requested by the most expedient means possible. If notice is given orally by telephone or in any other manner, a second notice must be given in writing [no] not later than the next calendar day by facsimile machine or overnight mail. The notice must include the time and place of the commission’s hearing on the matter.

4. A person notified pursuant to subsection 3 shall submit a response to the commission [no] not later than [at] the close of business on the second business day following the receipt of the notice. The response must be accompanied by any evidence concerning the issues related to the request that the person has in his possession or may obtain without undue financial hardship. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if such evidence is not submitted within that time, the commission may:

(a) Draw any conclusions it deems appropriate from the failure of that person to submit the evidence and argument; and

(b) Prohibit that person from responding and presenting evidence at the hearing.

The provisions of this subsection do not prohibit the commission from allowing that person to respond and present evidence or arguments, or both, after the close of business on the second business day if the commission determines that consideration of such evidence or arguments is in the interest of justice.

5. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the commission shall allow any person alleged to have violated NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 to:

(a) Be represented by counsel; and

(b) Hear the evidence presented to the commission and respond and present evidence on his own behalf.

6. At the request of:

(a) The person or group of persons that filed the request for the opinion pursuant to NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346; or

(b) The person alleged to have violated the provisions of NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346,

the commission may grant a continuance of a hearing held pursuant to the provisions of this section upon a showing of the existence of extraordinary circumstances that would prohibit the commission from rendering a fair and impartial opinion. A continuance may be granted for not more than 15 days. Not more than one continuance may be granted by the commission pursuant to this subsection.

7. The person or group of persons that filed the request for the opinion pursuant to NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 has the burden of proving the elements of the offense, including that a person alleged to have violated NRS 294A.345 acted with actual malice. The existence of actual malice may not be presumed. A final opinion of the commission rendered pursuant to this section must be supported by clear and convincing evidence. In addition to the other requirements for issuing an opinion pursuant to this subsection, the commission shall not render a final opinion determining that a person has violated NRS 294A.345 unless the commission makes specific findings that:

(a) The person caused to be published a false statement of fact concerning a candidate;

(b) The person acted with actual malice in causing the false statement to be published;

(c) The person acted with the intent to impede the success of the campaign of the candidate in causing the false statement to be published; and

(d) The publication of the false statement did in fact impede the success of the campaign of the candidate.

8. The commission shall render its opinion, or decline to render an opinion, as expeditiously as possible, but not later than 3 days after the date of the hearing. If additional time is required to determine the state of mind or the intent of the person alleged to have violated the provisions of NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 or to determine the amount of any civil penalty that may be imposed pursuant to NRS 281.551, the commission may continue its jurisdiction to investigate those issues but shall render its opinion as to the truth or falsity of the statement made concerning the candidate or the ballot question or its opinion as to whether the person impeded the success of the campaign or induced another person to impede the success of the campaign. If the commission continues its jurisdiction pursuant to this subsection, it may render a final opinion after the time set forth in this subsection.

9. A final opinion of the commission rendered pursuant to this section is subject to judicial review pursuant to NRS 233B.130. The district court shall give a petition for judicial review of a final opinion of the commission priority over other civil matters that are not expressly given priority by law. Notwithstanding the provisions of NRS 233B.130, the court may provide for such expedited review of the final opinion, including shortened periods for filing documents, as it deems appropriate for the circumstances.

10. Each request for an opinion filed pursuant to NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346, each opinion rendered by the commission pursuant thereto and any motion, evidence or record of a hearing relating to the request are public and must be open to inspection pursuant to NRS 239.010.

11. For the purposes of NRS 41.032, the members of the commission and its employees shall be deemed to be exercising or performing a discretionary function or duty when taking any action related to the rendering of an opinion pursuant to this section.

12. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a meeting or hearing held by the commission to carry out the provisions of this section and the commission’s deliberations on the information or evidence are not subject to any provision of chapter 241 of NRS.

13. As used in this section:

(a) “Actual malice” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 294A.345.

(b) “Publish” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 294A.345.

Sec. 15. NRS 281.551 is hereby amended to read as follows:

281.551 1. In addition to any other penalty provided by law, the commission may impose on a public officer or employee or former public officer or employee civil penalties not to exceed $5,000 for a willful violation of this chapter.

2. In addition to other penalties provided by law, the commission may impose a civil penalty not to exceed $5,000 and assess an amount equal to the amount of attorney’s fees and costs actually and reasonably incurred by the person about whom an opinion was requested pursuant to NRS 281.511, against a person who:

(a) Submits to the commission, in bad faith or with a vexatious purpose, an accusation or information that is false;

(b) Submits to the commission, in connection with a request for an opinion that the commission determines to be without merit, an accusation or information that is false; or

(c) Prevents, interferes with or attempts to prevent or interfere with the discovery or investigation of a violation of this chapter.

3. If the commission finds that a violation of a provision of this chapter by a public officer or employee or former public officer or employee has resulted in the realization by another person of a financial benefit, the commission may, in addition to other penalties provided by law, require the current or former public officer or employee to pay a civil penalty of not more than twice the amount so realized.

4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, and in addition to any other penalty provided by law, the commission may impose on any person who violates any provision of NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000. [If] Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if the commission finds that a violation of NRS 294A.345 or 294A.346 occurred within 10 days before an election, including any recall or special election, the commission may impose on the person who committed such a violation a civil penalty not to exceed $30,000. The commission shall not impose a civil penalty for a violation of NRS 294A.345 unless the commission has made the specific findings required pursuant to subsection 7 of NRS 281.477.

5. If the commission finds that a violation of this chapter has been committed by a public officer removable from office by impeachment only, it shall file a report with the appropriate person responsible for commencing impeachment proceedings as to its finding. The report must contain a statement of the facts alleged to constitute the violation.

6. An action taken by a public officer or employee or former public officer or employee relating to NRS 281.481, 281.491, 281.501 or 281.505 is not a willful violation of a provision of those sections if the public officer or employee:

(a) Relied in good faith upon the advice of the legal counsel retained by the public body which the public officer represents or by the employer of the public employee;

(b) Was unable, through no fault of his own, to obtain an opinion from the commission before the action was taken; and

7. In addition to other penalties provided by law, a public employee who willfully violates a provision of NRS 281.481, 281.491, 281.501 or 281.505 is subject to disciplinary proceedings by his employer and must be referred for action in accordance to the applicable provisions governing his employment.

8. NRS 281.481 to 281.541, inclusive, do not abrogate or decrease the effect of the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes which define crimes or prescribe punishments with respect to the conduct of public officers or employees.

9. The imposition of a civil penalty pursuant to subsections 1 to 4, inclusive, is a final decision for the purposes of judicial review.

10. In determining for the purposes of this section whether a person submitted an accusation or information in bad faith or with a vexatious purpose, the commission may consider various factors, including, without limitation:

(a) When the accusation or information was filed with or provided to the commission;

(b) Whether and, if applicable, in what manner the person who submitted the accusation or information publicly disseminated the accusation or information before the commission determined whether there was just and sufficient cause to render an opinion in the matter;

(d) Whether the accusation or information or the conduct of the person who submitted the accusation or information:

(1) Would be perceived as annoying or harassing by a reasonable person; or

(2) Demonstrates conscious disregard for the process and procedures established by the commission.

Assembly Bill No. 368.

Bill read third time.

The following amendment was proposed by the Committee on Ways and Means:

Amendment No. 1194.

Amend the bill as a whole by deleting sec. 2, renumbering sec. 3 as sec. 4 and adding new sections designated sections 2 and 3, following section 1, to read as follows:

“Sec. 2. Chapter 393 of NRS is hereby amended by adding thereto a new section to read as follows:

A school district that has more than 150,000 pupils enrolled shall develop and adopt a policy concerning the renovation or reconstruction of older buildings for schools or related facilities. As part of the policy, consideration must be given to the relative advantages and disadvantages of the renovation or reconstruction of older buildings for schools or related facilities as compared to the design, construction or purchase of new buildings for schools or related facilities. The policy must include, without limitation, guidelines for use by the board of trustees in determining whether older buildings should be renovated or reconstructed or whether new buildings to replace those older buildings should be constructed or purchased.

Sec. 3. 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that:

(a) The deterioration of school facilities has become a grave concern in this state;

(b) The local governments in the various portions of the state are currently faced with unique financial problems resulting from a variety of situations because in some local governments the population is rapidly increasing whereas in others the population is generally declining;

(c) Some local governments are still attempting to rehabilitate schools that were built around the turn of the last century and others cannot build new schools quickly enough to meet the needs of the children in the district; and

(d) Because of the unique variety of problems facing the local governments of this state a general law cannot be made applicable to ensure that children in more densely populated urban areas are provided with a safe environment which encourages learning.

2. The board of trustees of the Clark County School District shall establish a pilot program to replace schools. The school district may use an amount not to exceed $15 million from the proceeds of the bonds issued pursuant to subsection 3 or 4 of NRS 350.020 to:

(a) Evaluate older schools within the district to determine the need for renovation or reconstruction of those schools in furtherance of section 2 of this act; and

(b) Reconstruct one existing elementary school designated by the board of trustees from among the three schools analyzed in 1998 by the board of trustees in the study entitled “Rehab vs. Replacement Study/Phase Analysis.” The board of trustees, upon designating the school to be reconstructed, shall with all deliberate speed commence the reconstruction of the designated school with a planned completion date of July 1, 2001.

3. The purpose of this section is to provide authority to expend the proceeds of the bonds issued pursuant to subsection 3 or 4 of NRS 350.020 for reconstruction that is additional to and does not replace, repeal or limit any existing authority to so expend such proceeds.

4. On or before February 1, 2001, the Clark County School District shall submit to the director of the legislative counsel bureau for transmission to the 71st session of the Nevada legislature an interim report regarding the pilot program to replace schools. The report must include, without limitation, the progress of the effort to evaluate the older schools conducted pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 2 of this section and the progress of the reconstruction of the designated elementary school.”.

Amend the title of the bill to read as follows:

“AN ACT relating to education; requiring that the annual audit of certain school districts include an audit of expenditures relating to the design, construction, acquisition and renovation of school facilities and grounds; requiring certain school districts to develop and adopt a policy to renovate or reconstruct certain school facilities; requiring a certain school district to establish a pilot program for replacing schools; authorizing the use of certain proceeds of bonds for the pilot program; requiring the submission of an interim report concerning the progress of the pilot program; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.”.

Amend the summary of the bill to read as follows:

“SUMMARY—Requires annual audit of certain expenditures by certain school districts and development of policy to renovate or reconstruct certain school facilities by certain school districts. (BDR 31‑179)”.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wanted to note that there will be a letter of intent clarifying that the meetings would be an open, public meeting rather than just the “may” which is in there. Rather than taking drafting time, this will be accommodated through the letter. Also, through testimony, the issue regarding employees is addressed. It was urged they include faculty and students in the study as well. I just wanted to note that for the record.
