Every contractor for improvements, construction or maintenance shall execute a bond as heretofore provided herein, and in addition to the conditions heretofore provided such bond shall provide and secure payment for all material, provisions, provender, and supplies, teams, trucks, and other means of transportation used in, or upon, or about, or for the performance of the work contracted to be done, and for any work or labor done thereon, and providing in addition to all other conditions, that if the contractor, or his or its subcontractor or subcontractors fail to duly pay for labor, materials, team hire, sustenance, provender or other supplies used or consumed by such contractor or his or its subcontractor in performance of the work contracted to be done, the surety will pay the same in an amount not exceeding the sum specified in the bond, together with interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum. Unless such bond is executed, delivered and filed as herein provided, no claim in favor of the contractor arising under such contract shall be audited, allowed or paid. Any person, copartnership, association of persons, company or corporation that has furnished labor, materials, team hire, sustenance, provisions, provender or other supplies, used or consumed by such contractor, or his or its subcontractor, in or about the performance of the work contracted to be done, and whose claim therefor has not been paid by the contractor or subcontractor, and desiring to be protected under said bond shall file a claim within thirty days from the completion of the said contract with the department of highways, which claim shall be verified and contain a statement that the same has not been paid. And any such person or corporation so filing a claim may at any time within six months thereafter commence an action against the surety or sureties on the bond for the recovery of the amount of the claim. Failure to commence the action upon such claim against the bond and the sureties thereon within six months will bar any right of action against such surety or sureties. The state highway engineer shall, before making final payment on any contract as herein provided, cause to be published for a period of at least two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county wherein the work was contracted for, and wherein such work was performed, and for a period of at least ten days in one newspaper of general circulation throughout the State of Nevada, a notice of the final acceptance of the said contract, and no final settlement of such contract shall be made until thirty days after such acceptance of the contract. |

If and when the county commissioners shall decide to make any contribution or extend any cooperation for such aid, they shall pass a resolution to that effect and thereafter cause to be published a notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation published in that county for a period of two weeks, that is to say, published twice with a one-week interval elapsing between publications.

(e) Use, as a verb, means receive into any receptacle on a motor vehicle, fuel consumed in propelling such motor vehicle on the highways of this state, except that if such fuel is received into such receptacle outside this state, use, as a verb, means consume in propelling such motor vehicle on the highways of this state; use, as a noun, means the act of using. (f) User means any person who uses fuel. (g) Commission means the Nevada tax commission, as defined in the Statutes of Nevada relating to the creation thereof, and its duly authorized agents. Sec. 3. To partially compensate this state for the use of its highways, an excise tax is hereby imposed at the rate of five (5) cents per gallon on the use of fuel by any user thereof on and after July 1, 1939. Sec. 4. After July 1, 1939, it shall be unlawful for any person to use fuel within this state unless such person shall have obtained a use fuel tax permit. Applications for such permits must be made to the commission upon forms prescribed by the commission. On receipt of such application, the commission shall issue to the applicant a use fuel tax permit authorizing such person to use fuel within this state. Such permit shall be valid until revoked. Sec. 5. The commission shall have power to revoke the permit issued under the provisions of section 4 hereof to any person refusing or neglecting to comply with the provisions of this act.

Sec. 7.

The original of such report shall be filed with the commission. The duplicate of such report shall be filed with the state treasurer and shall be accompanied by a remittance, payable to the state treasurer, for the amount of excise tax due thereunder. Sec. 8. Any person failing to pay any excise tax, except taxes assessed under the provisions of sections 16 and 17 hereof, within the time prescribed by this act shall pay in addition to such tax a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount thereof, plus interest on the amount of such tax at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or fraction thereof, from the date such tax became finally due and payable until the date of payment. Sec. 9. For the purposes of the proper administration of this act and to prevent evasion of the excise tax hereby imposed, it shall be presumed, until the contrary is established under such reasonable rules as the commission may adopt, that all fuel received into any receptacle on a motor vehicle from which receptacle fuel is supplied to propel such motor vehicle is consumed in propelling such motor vehicle on the highways of this state. Sec. 10. Before registering any motor vehicle, the motor vehicle department of the office of secretary of state shall ascertain from the applicant for such registration whether or not the motor vehicle sought to be registered is propelled by a fuel the use of which is subject to the excise tax hereby imposed.

may be, shall immediately notify the commission and shall not complete such registration or issue such license, as the case may be, until the applicant therefor has obtained a use fuel tax permit as required by section 4 hereof. Sec. 11. The excise tax, including any penalty or interest hereby imposed, shall constitute a lien upon and shall have the effect of an execution duly levied against, any motor vehicle in connection with which the taxable use is made, attaching at the time of such use. Such lien shall not be removed until such excise tax is paid or the motor vehicle subject to said lien is sold in payment of such excise tax, and shall be paramount to all private liens or encumbrances of whatever character upon such motor vehicle and to the rights of any conditional vendor or any other holder of the legal title in or to such motor vehicle. Sec. 12. In the event the ownership of a motor vehicle subject to the lien provided for by section 11 hereof is transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise, no certificate of registration or certificate of ownership with respect to such motor vehicle shall be issued by the motor vehicle department of the office of secretary of state to the transferee, or person otherwise entitled thereto, until after the commission has issued a certificate that such lien has been removed. No license issued under chapter 165 Statutes of Nevada 1933, as heretofore or hereafter amended, with respect to a motor vehicle which becomes subject to the lien provided for by section 11 hereof, shall be transferred until after the commission has issued a certificate that such lien has been removed. Sec. 13. In the event that any user is delinquent in the payment of any obligation imposed hereunder, the commission may give notice of the amount of such delinquency by registered mail to all persons having in their possession or under their control any credits or other personal property belonging to such user, or owing any debts to such user, at the time of the receipt by them of such notice, and thereafter any person so notified shall neither transfer nor make other disposition of such credits, personal property or debts until the commission shall have consented to a transfer or disposition or until twenty days shall have elapsed from and after the receipt of such notice. All persons so notified must, within five days after the receipt of such notice, advise the commission of any and all such credits, personal property or debts, in their possession, under their control or owing by them, as the case may be. Sec. 14. Whenever any user shall be delinquent in the payment of any obligation imposed hereunder, the commission may transmit notice of such delinquency to the attorney-general or the district attorney of the proper county who shall at once proceed to collect all sums due the state from such user by appropriate legal action. |
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 197 (CHAPTER 149, SB 83)κ

shall at once proceed to collect all sums due the state from such user by appropriate legal action. In any suit brought to enforce the rights of the state hereunder, a verified claim by the commission showing the delinquency shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of such obligation; of such delinquency and of compliance by the commission with all provisions of this act relating to such obligation. In such action a writ of attachment may issue, and no bond or affidavit previous to the issuing of said attachment shall be required. Sec. 15. The foregoing remedies of the state shall be cumulative and no action taken by the commission shall be construed to be an election on the part of the state or any of its officers to pursue any remedy hereunder to the exclusion of any other remedy for which provision is made in this act. Sec. 16. If the commission is not satisfied with the report filed or amount of excise tax paid to the state by any user, it is hereby authorized and empowered to make an additional assessment of excise tax due from such user based upon any information available to it. Every such additional assessment shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or fraction thereof, from the twenty-fifth day after the close of the month or months, as the case may be, for which the additional assessment is imposed until paid. If any part of the deficiency for which the additional assessment is imposed is found to have been occasioned by negligence or intentional disregard of this act or rules and regulations adopted hereunder, a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the additional assessment shall be added thereto. If any part of the deficiency for which the additional assessment is imposed is found to have been occasioned by fraud or an intent to evade this act or rules and regulations adopted hereunder, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the additional assessment shall be added thereto. The commission shall give to the user written notice of such additional assessment. Such notice may be served personally or by mail; if by mail, service shall be made in the manner prescribed by section 8920 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, and addressed to the user at his address as the same appears in the records of the commission. Sec. 17. If any user neglects or refuses to make a report as required by this act, the commission shall make an estimate, based upon any information available to it, for the month or months in respect to which such user failed to make a report of the amount of fuel used by such user and, upon the basis of such estimate, compute and assess the excise tax due from such user hereunder, adding to the sum thus determined a penalty equal to twenty-five percent (25%) thereof. |

Every such assessment shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or fraction thereof, from the twenty-fifth day after the close of the month or months, as the case may be, for which such assessment is imposed until paid. The commission shall give to such user written notice of such assessment, the notice to be served personally or by mail in the same manner as prescribed for service of notice by the provisions of section 16 hereof. Sec. 18. Any user against whom an assessment is made under the provisions of sections 16 and 17 hereof may petition for a reassessment thereof within fifteen days after service upon such user of notice thereof. If a petition for reassessment is not filed within said fifteen-day period, the assessment shall become final at the expiration thereof. If a petition for reassessment is filed within said fifteen-day period, the commission shall reconsider the assessment, and if such user has so requested in his petition, shall grant such user an oral hearing and shall give such user ten days notice of the time and place thereof. The commission shall have the power to continue the hearing from time to time as may be necessary. The order or decision of the commission upon a petition for reassessment shall become final fifteen days after service of notice thereof. Every remittance in payment of an assessment or reassessment shall be payable to the state treasurer. If any assessment or reassessment is not paid on or before the date it becomes final, there shall be added thereto, in addition to any other penalty herein provided, a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the tax. Sec. 19. Except in the case of a fraudulent report, or neglect or refusal to make a report, every notice of additional excise tax proposed to be assessed hereunder shall be served on the user within two years after the claimed erroneous report was filed. Sec. 20. If the commission determines that any excise tax, penalty or interest has been paid more than once, or has been erroneously or illegally collected or computed, the commission shall set forth that fact in its records and shall certify to the state board of examiners the amount collected in excess of what was legally due, from whom it was collected, or by whom paid to the state, and if the state board of examiners approves, such excess shall be credited on any amounts then due from such user under this act and the balance shall be refunded to such user, or his successors, administrators, executors or assigns, but no such credit or refund shall be allowed after two years from the date of overpayment, unless the user shall have filed with the commission a claim for such credit or refund within two years from the date of overpayment. |
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 199 (CHAPTER 149, SB 83)κ

such credit or refund within two years from the date of overpayment. Every such claim must be in writing and must state the specific grounds upon which it is founded. Sec. 21. In the event that any amount has been illegally or erroneously assessed against any user, the commission shall certify such fact to the state board of examiners, and if the state board of examiners approves, it shall authorize the cancelation of such amount upon the records of the commission; provided, however, claim must be made within two years, as provided in section 20 hereof. Sec. 22. No injunction or writ of mandate or other legal or equitable process shall issue in any suit, action or proceeding in any court against this state, or against any officer thereof, to prevent or enjoin the collection under this act of any excise tax or other amount herein required to be collected; but after payment of any such excise tax or any such other amount under protest, duly verified and setting forth the grounds of objection to the legality thereof, filed with the tax commission at the time of payment of the tax protested, the user making the payment may bring an action against the state treasurer in the district court of the county of Ormsby for the recovery of the amount so paid under protest. No such action may be instituted more than ninety days after such payment under protest has been made and failure to bring suit within said ninety days shall constitute waiver of any and all demands against the state on account of alleged overpayments hereunder. No grounds of illegality shall be considered by the court other than those set forth in the protest filed at the time of such payment. If in any such action judgment is rendered for the plaintiff, the amount of the judgment shall first be credited on any excise tax or other amount due from the plaintiff under this act, and the balance of the judgment shall be refunded to the plaintiff. In any such judgment, interest shall be allowed at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum upon the amount found to have been illegally collected from the date of payment of such amount to the date of allowance of credit on account of such judgment or to a date preceding the date of the refund warrant by not more than thirty days, such date to be determined by the commission. In no case shall any judgment be rendered in favor of the plaintiff in any action brought against the state treasurer to recover any amount paid hereunder, when such action is brought by or in the name of an assignee of the user paying such amount. Sec. 23. Every user in this state shall keep such records, receipts, invoices and other pertinent papers in such form as the commission may require. |

receipts, invoices and other pertinent papers in such form as the commission may require. The commission, or its duly authorized agents, is hereby empowered to examine the books, papers, records and equipment of any user or person dealing in, transporting or storing fuel and to investigate the character of the disposition which any such user or person makes of such fuel in order to ascertain and determine whether all excise taxes due hereunder are being properly reported and paid. The commission is hereby charged with the enforcement of the provisions of this act and is hereby authorized and empowered to prescribe, adopt and enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration and enforcement hereof. The commission may employ such accountants, auditors, investigators, assistants and clerks as it may deem necessary for the efficient administration of this act and may fix their compensation and provide for their necessary expenses; provided, however, that no expenditure shall be made or obligation incurred under this section in excess of five percent (5%) of the amount collected under this act. Sec. 24. It shall be unlawful for the commission, or any person having an administrative duty under this act, to divulge or to make known in any manner whatever the business affairs, operations, or information obtained by an investigation of records and equipment of any user or other person visited or examined in the discharge of official duty, or the amount or source of income, profits, losses, expenditures or any particular thereof set forth or disclosed in any report, or to permit any report or copy thereof or any book containing any abstract or particulars thereof to be seen or examined by any person except as provided by law; provided, however, that the governor may authorize examination of such reports by other state officers, by tax officers of another state, or the federal government, if a reciprocal arrangement exists, or by any other persons the governor may so authorize. Any violations of the provisions of this section shall be a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion of the court. Sec. 25. In addition to any other penalties provided for herein, any person who shall refuse or neglect to make any report required by the provisions of this act, or who shall knowingly make, or aid, or assist any other person in making, a false statement in any such report, or in connection with any claim for refund filed under section 20 hereof, or who shall knowingly collect, or attempt to collect or cause to be repaid to himself or to any other person, any refund of any amount paid to the state hereunder without being entitled to the same, or who shall use fuel within this state without being the holder of an unrevoked use fuel tax permit, or who shall otherwise violate any of the provisions of this act, shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than thirty days and not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. |

any amount paid to the state hereunder without being entitled to the same, or who shall use fuel within this state without being the holder of an unrevoked use fuel tax permit, or who shall otherwise violate any of the provisions of this act, shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than thirty days and not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day or part thereof during which any person shall use fuel within this state without being the holder of an unrevoked use fuel tax permit shall constitute a separate offense within the meaning of this section. Sec. 26. It shall be unlawful for any person to deliver fuel which is to be consumed in propelling a motor vehicle on the highways of this state into, or place such fuel into, or cause such fuel to be delivered into, or placed into, any receptacle on such motor vehicle from which receptacle such fuel is supplied to propel such motor vehicle, knowing that the owner of such motor vehicle does not hold an unrevoked use fuel tax permit. Sec. 27. All money received by the state treasurer pursuant to the provisions of this act shall be placed to the credit of the Nevada state highway fund. All costs of administration of this act, including amounts refunded under section 20 hereof, shall be paid from the Nevada state highway fund on claims presented by the commission, approved by the state board of examiners, and allowed and paid as other claims against the state are allowed and paid; provided, however, the amount of such claims shall not exceed, as aforesaid, five percent (5%) of the amount collected under this act. Sec. 28. The tax herein imposed shall be in lieu of the tax imposed by chapter 74 Statutes of Nevada 1935, or any amendments thereto, in connection with fuel as herein defined; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall in any way affect any obligation which accrued under said chapter 74 Statutes of Nevada 1935, or any amendments thereto, prior to the effective date hereof; provided further, that in the event this act is repealed, and from the date of such repeal, the tax imposed by said chapter 74 Statutes of Nevada 1935, or any amendments thereto in connection with fuel shall be in full force and effect. Sec. 29. If any section, subsection, sentence, phrase, or clause of this act shall for any reason be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this act. The legislature hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this act irrespective of the fact that any such section, subsection, sentence, phrase, or clause of this act be adjudged invalid. |

Procedure
Contract carrier permits |
(b) When a complaint has been filed with the commission alleging that any vehicle is being operated without a certificate of convenience and necessity as required by this act, or when the commission has reason to believe that this act is being violated, it shall be the duty of the commission to investigate such operations and the commission shall have power after a hearing to make its order requiring the owner or operator of such vehicle to cease and desist from any operation in violation of this act; and it shall be the duty of the commission to enforce compliance with such order under the powers vested in the commission by this act or law. Sec. 4. The above-entitled act is hereby amended by the addition thereto of a new section to be designated as section 9 1/2. Section 9 1/2. It shall be unlawful for any contract carrier of passengers or property to act as such within this state in intrastate commerce without first having obtained a permit therefor; provided, that if any such carrier or predecessor in interest has secured on or before the effective date of this act, from the public service commission of Nevada, a license to act as a contract carrier of passengers for the year 1939, the commission shall issue such permit without further proceedings, if application for such permit is made on or prior to November 1, 1939, upon forms to be furnished by the commission. Pending determination of any such application, the continuance of such operation shall be lawful. Applications for such permits for new operations as a contract carrier shall be made to the commission, in writing, shall be verified under oath, and shall be in such form and be accompanied by such information as the commission may require. A permit shall be issued to any qualified applicant therefor, authorizing in whole, or in part, the operation covered by the application, if it appears from the application or from any hearing held thereon that the applicant is fit, willing and able properly to perform the service of a contract carrier by motor vehicle and to conform to all provisions of this act and the lawful requirements and regulations thereunder, and that the proposed operation will be consistent with the public interests, otherwise the application shall be denied; provided further, that no terms, conditions, or limitations shall restrict the right of the carrier to substitute or add contracts within the scope of the permit, or to add to his or its equipment and facilities, within the scope of the permit, as the development of business and the demands of the public may require. Sec. 5. Section 12 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 12. All motor carriers coming within the terms of this act, operating either in intrastate or interstate commerce, except such carriers as are specifically exempted in section 3 of this act, and motor convoy carriers, shall, on or before the 20th day of each month, |

|
of this act, operating either in intrastate or interstate commerce, except such carriers as are specifically exempted in section 3 of this act, and motor convoy carriers, shall, on or before the 20th day of each month, file with the public service commission of Nevada on forms to be prescribed by it, a sworn statement of the name and address of the owners of the motor vehicles operated over the public highways of this state by such carrier, the motor and/or serial number of each vehicle, the manufacturers rated capacity of each vehicle, the unladened weight of each vehicle as shown by a public weighmasters certificate, the number of miles of public highway in this state over which such motor vehicle or vehicles shall have operated during the preceding month, the tonnage carried during the preceding month, and such information as the public service commission may require. Any carrier who shall willfully fail or refuse to fill out and return the required forms shall be subject to the penalty as prescribed in section 15 of this act. The public service commission of Nevada is hereby authorized to adopt rules covering the procedure, regulation and administration of the provisions of this act, and shall prescribe forms for all applications, certificates, permits, licenses and license plates for the use of prospective applicants, and shall make regulations for the filing thereof. Sec. 6. Section 13 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 13. All motor carriers coming within the terms of this act, except such carriers and/or persons mentioned in section 3 of this act, to whom shall have been issued the certificate, permit, and/or licenses provided by this act, may transfer or assign such certificates, permits, and/or licenses to another qualified under this act, but no such transfer and/or assignment shall be valid for any purpose unless and until application for permit to make such transfer shall be made to the public service commission by the transferer, accompanied by an application of the transferee to be substituted for said transferer of said certificates, permits, and/or licenses subject of such transfer. The commission, in its discretion, may direct that a hearing be had in the matter of such transfer, which hearing may be noticed and conducted in like manner with other hearings before the commission. If the commission shall determine that a transfer and/or assignment of any certificate, permit, and/or license, permitted herein to be transferred or assigned, will not operate to defeat the purposes of this act and/or deny to the State of Nevada reasonable compensation for the use of its highways as in this act provided, the commission shall order such transfer to be made when it is satisfied that the purposes of this act will not be defeated by the transfer of the certificate, permit, and/or license; provided, no transfer shall be valid beyond the life of the certificate, permit, and/or license transferred; provided, however, the commission may, under such rules and regulations it may deem advisable, permit the transfer of a license from one motor vehicle to another by the owner thereof in cases where a vehicle is discarded and/or removed from service on the public highways; provided, new license plates be secured from the commission and a fee of two ($2) dollars be paid for each set of plates so secured. |

Upon application for refund to the public service commission by any person who has heretofore paid the required license fees, as prescribed in this act, claiming that the license fees so paid have unlawfully been collected, the commission will immediately commence an investigation to determine if the application for refund is justified, and may in its discretion conduct a hearing in the same manner as other hearings are conducted. If, after investigation or hearing, the commission finds that the refund as claimed is justified in whole or in part, it shall authorize the state controller to draw his warrant for the sum of said refund and the state treasurer is hereby authorized to pay the said warrant of the said state controller. The said refund shall be taken and paid from the state highway fund then remaining in the state treasury. Sec. 7. Section 14 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 14. No certificate of convenience and necessity, permit, and/or license issued in accordance with the terms of this act shall be construed to be either a franchise or irrevocable. The commission may at any time, for good cause shown, suspend, and upon at least five days notice to the grantee of any certificate, permit, and/or license and upon a hearing had therefor, revoke such certificate, permit, and/or license; provided, any person aggrieved by the order of the commission revoking such permit may within thirty days commence an action in the district court of Ormsby County against said commission to vacate and set aside such order on the ground that such order is unlawful or unreasonable. The proceedings thereafter shall be governed by the provisions of section 33 of the public service commission act, i. e., section 6133 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929. Sec. 8. Section 15 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 15. Any person who shall operate any carrier to which this act applies without first obtaining a certificate, permit, and/or license or in violation of the terms thereof, or who fails to make any return or report required by this act or by the commission under the terms of this act, or every person who violates or procures, aids or abets in the violating of any provision of this act, or who fails to obey any order, decision or regulation of the commission, or who procures or aids or abets any person in this failure to obey such order, |

Fish and game Lake Mead; preamble |
[Assembly Bill No. 243Mr. Sloan]
Chap. 175An Act relating to and providing for the regulation of fishing in Lake Mead and that portion of the Colorado river below Boulder dam where it forms the boundary between the States of Arizona and Nevada; supplementing the general fish and game laws of the State of Nevada in that regard; authorizing a visitors special fishing license and a uniform open season and other uniform regulations for fishing in and upon the waters of said lake and that portion of said river; and providing for reciprocal recognition by each of said two states of fishing licenses issued to residents of the other in fishing in and upon said waters, and other matters relating thereto.
[Approved March 25, 1939]
Whereas, The boundary line between the States of Arizona and Nevada in Lake Mead and in that portion of the Colorado river below Boulder dam where it forms the boundary between the States of Arizona and Nevada is now and has been ever since January 18, 1867 (14 U. S. Statutes at large, 45, and 1867 Statutes of Nevada, 145) the middle of the Colorado river as it existed at that time, but said boundary line is not marked on the surface of the waters of said lake and portion of said river so that fishermen fishing there may observe the position thereof, and it is, therefore, impossible for either resident or nonresident fishermen fishing in and upon said waters, or for even the law enforcement officers there, to know or determine in which of said states such fishermen are fishing at almost any given place, or to know the state whose laws should and do govern them and, therefore, what laws they are expected to obey, except when they are on or very near the banks of said lake or river; and Whereas, The fishing laws and regulations which exist in the State of Arizona are very different in many respects from those which exist in the State of Nevada, particularly with reference to the open and closed seasons of the year, |
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 259 (CHAPTER 175, AB 243)κ
|
from those which exist in the State of Nevada, particularly with reference to the open and closed seasons of the year, the limit of the catch of fish, the hours of fishing, the kind of fishing tackle or equipment permitted, and probably in many other particulars, for the reason that such matters are generally governed in Nevada by firm and express statutory provisions while the laws of the State of Arizona do not expressly set forth such matters of regulation, but quite generally leave them to the discretion and determination of the Arizona fish and game commission and/or the fish and game warden of that state, and such rules and regulations are often changed by them for various reasons; and, therefore, the fishermen, both resident and nonresident, who fish in and upon said waters, are thereby often subjected to the danger of arrest and punishment for violating the fishing laws of the particular state in which they happen to be fishing at the time and for which they have no fishing licenses, although they may not know they are in that particular state at the time and have no intention of violating its laws; and Whereas, Said differences in the fishing laws of the States of Arizona and Nevada often result in a closed fishing season and a consequent prohibition of fishing on the Nevada side of said boundary line while the fishing season is open and fishing lawfully permitted on the Arizona side thereof, and a consequent discrimination against and disadvantage and injury to Nevada resident fishermen, and others who desire to fish on the Nevada side of said boundary line, and said condition tends to discourage fishing in and upon said waters on both sides of said boundary line and to prevent tourists and visitors from visiting that portion of the State of Nevada at and in the vicinity of Boulder dam and to decrease the amount of tourist traffic in that portion of the State of Nevada; and Whereas, Said conditions do not exist in any other portion of the State of Nevada, and it is desired by this act to remedy said conditions and to provide a method by which the fishing laws and regulations in said waters in said two states may be made uniform, or as nearly so as reasonably possible; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. In addition to the classes of fishing licenses now provided for by law, there shall be a visitors special fishing license. Such licenses shall be issued only to nonresidents of the State of Nevada and shall entitle the holder thereof to fish only in and upon the waters of Lake Mead and that portion of the Colorado river below Boulder dam where it forms the boundary line between the States of Arizona and Nevada. |
Preamble

Issuance |
Arizona and Nevada. Such license shall be valid for a period of fifteen days only from the date of its issuance. The fee for each of such licenses so issued in this state shall be $1. Sec. 2. Said licenses shall be issued and delivered for fishing in said waters only during the season or seasons of the year as fixed by the state board of fish and game commissioners of the State of Nevada as hereinafter authorized, by the officers and persons and in the manner provided for by the laws of this state, upon application therefor made in the manner prescribed by said state board, and without any remuneration to compensate said officers or persons for their services in so issuing and delivering such licenses unless otherwise provided by law; provided, however, that said state board, or its secretary, or any other officer of this state or of Clark County, Nevada, authorized by any law of this state at that time to issue and deliver other fishing licenses for use in fishing in said Clark County, Nevada, are hereby authorized and empowered also to appoint, by written appointment, a copy of which shall be filed in the office of said state board at Reno, Nevada, residents of either the State of Nevada or of the State of Arizona as agents to issue and deliver, upon such application therefor, to visitors and tourists who are visiting or contemplate visiting and fishing at and in the vicinity of said Lake Mead and said portion of said Colorado river, upon such remuneration to compensate said agents for their services in so doing as may be fixed by said state board, not exceeding ten cents (10’) for each such license so issued, delivered and collected for by such agents. Each of such agents shall report directly to the officer so appointing him and remit to such officer the license fees, or portion thereof lawfully payable at the times and in the manner provided for in the general fish and game laws of this state in force and effect at the time of such report. Sec. 3. Said visitors special fishing license, with stubs, shall be printed in the form prescribed by said state board of fish and game commissioners and in substantially the following language, with such additions thereto as said state board may prescribe:

Said state board of fish and game commissioners is hereby authorized to require, in or in connection with said license, such language as it may prescribe in addition to the language hereinbefore specified. In the interest of uniformity with the State of Arizona, said licenses may be printed and issued separately or attached to and as a part of similar licenses issued under authority of the State of Arizona for fishing on the Arizona side of Lake Mead and of said portion of said Colorado river. It shall be unlawful, however, for any person to use such special Nevada license without also having in his possession such similar special Arizona license. Sec. 4. All moneys derived from the sale of such licenses shall be paid and transmitted promptly to the state and county treasuries, respectively, at the times and in the manner and proportions provided for by the laws of the State of Nevada in force and effect at the time of any such payment or transmission of such moneys. Sec. 5. Said state board of fish and game commissioners is hereby authorized and directed, in the interest of uniformity of fishing regulations of the two States of Nevada and Arizona, for fishing in and upon the said waters of Lake Mead and of said portion of said Colorado river so situated in the State of Nevada, to adopt and promulgate written rules and regulations fixing the season or seasons of the year during which fishing in and upon said waters shall be lawfully permitted and licensed and the season or seasons of the year in which such fishing is prohibited in said waters on the Nevada side of said boundary line, and to change said seasons from time to time, so that and to the end that the open season during which fishing is permitted in said waters of Lake Mead and said portion of said Colorado river situated in the State of Nevada shall be the same as the open season during which fishing shall be permitted in the said waters of Lake Mead and said portion of said Colorado river situated in the State of Arizona, and that the closed season in each of said states shall be the same; and also to so fix the limit of the catch of fish, the hours of fishing, the kind of fishing tackle or equipment, and other regulations so that each thereof shall be the same in and upon the portion of said waters so situated in the State of Nevada as they shall be in the portion thereof so situated in the State of Arizona, to the end that all fishing regulations shall be the same on the portion of said waters so situated in Nevada as they shall be on the portion thereof so situated in the State of Arizona. |

Sec. 6. Residents of the State of Arizona holding current regular resident fishing licenses issued under the authority of the general fish and game laws of that state shall be lawfully entitled to fish in and upon the waters of said Lake Mead and of said portion of said Colorado river so situated in the State of Nevada to the same extent as residents of the State of Nevada holding current regular resident fishing licenses issued pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada are lawfully entitled to fish, and are permitted to fish, in said waters of said Lake Mead and said Colorado river so situated in the State of Arizona, to the end that there may be reciprocity in fishing rights among the holders of regular resident fishing licenses, in date, of the said two states, and that the holders of such resident fishing licenses of the State of Arizona shall be accorded the same rights and privileges to fish in said Nevada waters as are accorded the holders of regular resident fishing licenses of the State of Nevada to fish in said waters in the State of Arizona. Sec. 7. This act is supplementary to the general fish and game laws of the State of Nevada and applies only to said waters of Lake Mead and Colorado river so situated in the State of Nevada and is not intended as a repeal of any of the provisions of said general fish and game laws, except as they may be in irreconcilable conflict with the provisions of this act so applying to said waters of Lake Mead and Colorado river so situated in the State of Nevada. Sec. 8. To preserve the public peace, health, and safety it is hereby declared to be necessary that this act shall become immediately operative. It is, therefore, declared to be an emergency measure, and shall take effect and be in full force and effect immediately upon its passage and approval. |

Sec. 6.

Waters, underground
Definitions |
[Assembly Bill No. 215Clark County Delegation]
Chap. 178An Act to provide for the conservation and distribution of underground waters, providing for the designation of artesian well basins and defining such wells and providing the method of appropriating the waters thereof; defining the powers and duties of the state engineer in the administration hereof; providing for the casing and capping of artesian wells and for the prevention of waste of water therefrom; prescribing penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act, and repealing certain acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith.
[Approved March 25, 1939]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. All underground waters within the boundaries of the state belong to the public, and subject to all existing rights to the use thereof, are subject to appropriation for beneficial use only under the laws of the state relating to the appropriation and use of water and not otherwise, therefore it is the intention of the legislature, by this act, to prevent the waste of underground waters and pollution and contamination thereof and provide for the administration of the provisions hereof by the state engineer, who is hereby empowered to make such rules and regulations within the terms of this act as may be necessary for the proper execution of the provisions of this act. Sec. 2. The word person as used herein shall be interpreted to mean any firm, partnership, association, company, or corporation, municipal corporation, power district, political subdivision of this or any state or government agency. The word aquifer as used herein means a geological formation or structure that transmits water. The words artesian well as used herein mean a well tapping an aquifer underlying an impervious material in which the static water level in said well stands above where it is first encountered in said aquifer. The word waste as used herein is defined as causing, suffering or permitting any artesian water to reach any previous stratum above the confining strata before coming to the surface of the ground, or suffering or permitting any artesian well to discharge water unnecessarily upon the surface of the ground so that the waters thereof are lost for beneficial use or in any canal or ditch conveying water from a well where the loss of water in transit is more than 20% of the amount of water discharged from said well, or in any event where over 20% of the water discharging from a well is lost from beneficial use. Sec. 3. This act shall not apply to the developing and use of underground water for domestic purposes where the draught does not exceed two gallons per minute and where the water developed is not from an artesian well. |
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 275 (CHAPTER 178, AB 215)κ
|
use of underground water for domestic purposes where the draught does not exceed two gallons per minute and where the water developed is not from an artesian well. Sec. 4. Upon receipt by the state engineer of a petition requesting him to administer the provisions of this act, signed by not less than ten percent of the owners of wells, in any particular basin, having a legal right to appropriate underground water therefrom, as evidenced by the records in the state engineers office, he shall designate such area by basin, or by sub-basin, or by townships, and proceed with the administration of this act on all wells that were drilled subsequent to March 22, 1913, save and excepting those wells coming under the provisions of section 2 of this act. On wells drilled prior to March 22, 1913, no supervision over the distribution of waters therefrom as against rights acquired subsequent to March 22, 1913, can be maintained by the state engineer until the existing rights thereof are determined by a court decree in appropriate adjudication proceedings, save and except where water therefrom is being flagrantly wasted. Sec. 5. Upon the initiation of the administration of this act in any particular artesian basin, and where the investigations of the state engineer have shown the necessity for the supervision over the waters in such basin, and upon recommendation of the state engineer, the county commissioners of the county within which such artesian basin is situated may employ, with the consent and approval of the state engineer, an artesian well supervisor and whatever other assistants deemed necessary, who shall execute the duties as provided in this act under the direction of the state engineer. The salary of such artesian well supervisor and his assistants shall be fixed by the board of county commissioners, who shall levy a special tax upon all taxable property situated within the confines of the area designated by the state engineer to come under the provisions of this act; provided, however, that at no time shall such tax levy produce a revenue in any one year of more than two thousand dollars ($2,000). It shall be the duty of the proper officers of the county to levy and collect such special tax as other special taxes are levied and collected, and such tax shall be a lien upon the said property. The tax herein provided for, when collected, shall be deposited with the state treasurer of Nevada in a fund in the state treasury which shall be designated as the.......................basin,..................county artesian well fund. All claims against said fund in the state treasury shall be certified by the state engineer and approved by the state board of examiners; the state controller is authorized to draw his warrant therefor against such artesian well fund and the state treasurer shall pay the same. Sec. 6. Every person desiring to sink or bore a well in any proven artesian basin, or any basin or sub-basin in the state designated by the state engineer, shall first make application to the state engineer in accordance with the provisions of the general water law of this state for a permit to appropriate such water before performing any work in connection with the boring or sinking of said well. |

any proven artesian basin, or any basin or sub-basin in the state designated by the state engineer, shall first make application to the state engineer in accordance with the provisions of the general water law of this state for a permit to appropriate such water before performing any work in connection with the boring or sinking of said well. In other basins or sub-basins which have not been designated by the state engineer as aforesaid where the water sought to be appropriated is underground water existing in unconfined aquifers and not being under any hydrostatic (artesian) pressure, no application or permit to appropriate such water is necessary until after the well is sunk or bored and water developed. Before any legal diversion of water can be made from said well the appropriator must make application to the state engineer in accordance with the provisions of the general water law of this state for a permit to appropriate such water. Sec. 7. During the sinking or boring of a well in any proven artesian basin the permittee shall cause to be placed in such well a proper and sufficient casing, approved by the state engineer, so arranged as to prevent the caving in of such well and to prevent the escape of water therefrom through any intervening sand or gravel stratum, and must be of sufficient length to reach the deepest aquifer encountered during the sinking or boring of said well. The number, size, type and distribution of perforations is optional with the permittee, excepting that no perforations must be made in a pipe tapping confined (artesian) water above the confining impervious materials. The permittee shall provide the necessary valves, plugs or other appliances to prevent or control the flow of water from such well and prevent the loss of underground water above or below the ground surface. Said permittee shall cause to be kept a log of the depth, thickness and character of the different strata penetrated, together with the data pertaining to the work, when begun, when finished, the length, size and weight of casing, and how placed, size of drilled hole, where sealed and the type of seal, the name of the well driller and the type of machine used, the number of cubic feet per second or gallons per minute of flow from such well when finished and the pressure in pounds per square inch if same be a flowing well, and if nonflowing, the static water level. If the well is tested by pumping immediately following the completion thereof, the report must include the drawdown in respect to the amount of water pumped and such other information required by the state engineer, all of which shall be verified under oath on forms prescribed by the state engineer, and must be furnished to the state engineer within thirty days following the completion of said well; such record and data shall be filed in and become a permanent record in the state engineers office. |
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 277 (CHAPTER 178, AB 215)κ
|
shall be filed in and become a permanent record in the state engineers office. Sec. 8. No person controlling an artesian well shall suffer the waters therefrom to flow to waste, unless, and as far as reasonably necessary in the judgment of the state engineer, to prevent the obstruction thereof, or to flow or be taken therefrom any water except for beneficial purposes. The owner of any artesian well from which water is being unnecessarily wasted shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, if upon fifteen days written notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, the owner fails to abate or refuses to abate such waste, the state engineer or his assistants or authorized agents, may, without further notice, take such steps as may be necessary to abate such waste, such as fitting the well with the proper valves or other necessary devices to the end that such waste is prevented. The cost thereof, including labor and material, shall be a lien on the land on which said well is located and also any other land owned by him to which the water from said well is appurtenant; provided, that the state engineer, his assistants or authorized agents, as the case may be, shall file an itemized and sworn statement, setting forth the date when such work was done and the nature of the labor so performed, with the county recorder of the county wherein said well is situated, within thirty days from the time of completion of such work, and when so filed it shall constitute a valid lien against the interest of such owner or owners in default, and which said lien may be enforced in the same manner as provided by law for the enforcement of mechanics liens. The county recorder shall make no charge for filing the claim of lien, and no costs shall be taxed against the state engineer, his assistants or authorized agents, in any suit or proceeding on account of such lien. Sec. 9. A legal right to appropriate underground water for beneficial use by means of a well, tunnel or otherwise that was drilled, bored or otherwise constructed subsequent to March 22, 1913, can only be acquired by complying with the provisions of the general water law of this state pertaining to the appropriation of water. In an area within which the state engineer is supervising distribution of waters from an underground source as in this act provided, the state engineer may, upon written notice sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, advise the owner of a well who is using water therefrom without a lawful permit to cease using such water until he has complied with the laws pertaining to the appropriation of water. If said owner fails to initiate proceedings to secure such permit within thirty days from the date of such notice he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The date of priority of all appropriations of water from an underground source, mentioned in this section, is the date when application is made in proper form and filed in the office of the state engineer pursuant to the general water laws of this state. |

water from an underground source, mentioned in this section, is the date when application is made in proper form and filed in the office of the state engineer pursuant to the general water laws of this state. Sec. 10. The state engineer shall administer this act and shall prescribe all necessary rules and regulations within the terms of this act for such administration. The state engineer may require periodical statements of water elevations, water used and acreage on which water was used from all holders of permits and claimants of vested rights; may upon his own initiation conduct pumping tests to determine if over-pumping is indicated, to determine the specific capacity of the aquifers and to determine permeability characteristics; he shall determine if there is unappropriated water in the area affected and shall issue permits only if such determination is affirmative. The state engineer at any time may hold a hearing on his own motion, or upon petition signed by a representative body of users of underground water in any area or subarea, to determine whether the water supply within such area or subarea is adequate for the needs of all permittees and all vested-right claimants, and if the determination is negative the state engineer shall order that withdrawals be restricted to conform to priority rights during the period of shortage. Sec. 11. The state engineer, his assistants or authorized agents and the artesian well supervisor, or his assistants, shall have the right to enter the premises of any owner or proprietor where any well mentioned in this act is situated at any reasonable hour of the day for the purpose of investigating and carrying out his or their duties in the administration of this act. Sec. 12. Any person violating any of the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum of not less than ten ($10) dollars nor more than two hundred fifty ($250) dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding three months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Sec. 13. Each section of this act and every part of each section is hereby declared to be an independent section, or a part of a section, and the holding of any section or part thereof to be void or ineffective from any cause shall not be deemed to affect any other section or any part thereof.

[Assembly Bill No. 193Committee on Education]
Chap. 181An Act relating to the establishment of district high schools in counties having a duly established county high school or county high schools, providing the powers and duties of boards of county commissioners with respect thereto, providing a county tax and a school district tax for the support of such schools, defining the powers and duties of county boards of education in relation thereto, providing for transportation of students, and repealing certain acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith.
[Approved March 25, 1939]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. A district high school within the meaning of this act shall be a school in which subjects above the eighth grade are taught. A district high school differs from a regular county high school only in extent of territory, in plan of organization and in means of support, and as used in this act shall be deemed to mean a high school established in a county which has a duly established county high school or county high schools. Sec. 2. Upon the presentation of a petition signed by at least three-fifths (3/5) of the taxpayers of any elementary school district calling for a district high school, the board of county commissioners, upon the recommendation of the deputy superintendent of public instruction for the district in which said elementary school district is established, may establish a high school in said school district, provided that the petition shall show the following precedent conditions:
|
κ1939 Statutes of Nevada, Page 289 (CHAPTER 181, AB 193)κ

in which said elementary school district is established, may establish a high school in said school district, provided that the petition shall show the following precedent conditions: 1. That there are at least ten (10) actual resident students of high school grade not over the age of twenty (20) years in said school district who are in need of and are desirous of having high school instruction and who propose to attend such district high school if and when established. 2. That the proposed district high school is situated forty (40) miles or more from a county high school or branch county high school or other district high school, in the same or any county; provided, that any district high school established prior to the passage and approval of this act, although within the forty (40) mile limit from another high school, shall come within the purview of this act and its establishment is hereby validated; provided further, that the board of county commissioners may, upon recommendation of the state board of education, authorize the establishment of a district high school within forty miles of another district or county high school when the transportation of students is found not to be feasible to said other high school and the cost thereof is found to be excessive. Sec. 3. A district high school established in any school district under the provisions of this act shall be governed by the already existing board of school trustees of said elementary school district in which said district high school is established. Sec. 4. In counties having one or more regularly established county high schools, the board of school trustees of a district in which a district high school has been established shall direct that a special tax of twenty-five (25’) cents be levied on each one hundred ($100) dollars of assessed valuation of said school district, the returns of said special tax levy to be used for elementary or high school purposes as needed; and, in addition to the twenty-five (25’) cent tax levy as above required, the board of school trustees shall direct that a special levy of fifteen (15’) cents be levied on each one hundred ($100) dollars of assessed valuation of the district for the support of said district high school, if such levy is needed to help provide for the expenses of said district high school. A levy of twenty-five (25’) cent special tax and said fifteen (15’) cent special tax must be provided for before any county tax is levied for the support of said district high school. Sec. 5. If the special tax levies provided for in section 4 of this act, together with any funds which may be derived from state and county apportionments and any other source, are insufficient for the support of said elementary and district high school, then the county board of education of the county in which said schools shall exist shall provide, by special county high school tax levy, funds for the aid of such school district when the following precedent conditions in any year of the required aid exist:

county in which said schools shall exist shall provide, by special county high school tax levy, funds for the aid of such school district when the following precedent conditions in any year of the required aid exist: 1. That the said district high school is already established and is complying with the legal requirements of the state for such high school. 2. That the tax levies provided in section 4 of this act are insufficient to provide necessary funds for the support of said district high school and the elementary school. 3. That, in the case of a newly organized district high school, there shall be at least ten (10) actual resident students of high school grade needing or desiring high school training and proposing to attend such district high school when established, or, in the case of a district high school already established and in operation, the deputy superintendent of public instruction shall certify to the county board of education that the prospects are that there will be at least eight (8) actual resident students of high school grade in attendance at said district high school for the ensuing school year. 4. That, on or before February 10 of each year, the board of school trustees of said school district shall have submitted to the county board of education the regular school budgets for said elementary and high schools, together with a supplemental statement showing the amount of money required to be raised by county tax for the district high school. When the board of school trustees of the district in which said district high school shall exist shall have met the above requirements of sections 4 and 5 of this act, then the county board of education of that county shall fix the county high school tax at a figure which will provide not to exceed one hundred ($100) dollars per high school student as shown in the petition for the newly established district high school in the event that the high school has not been operating for one school year, or in average daily attendance for the last preceding school year in the event that said district high school has been operating for one school year. If the board of school trustees of any district in which a district high school shall exist shall have authorized, and there shall have been levied, a total special tax of fifty (50’) cents instead of forty (40’) cents on the one hundred ($100) dollars of assessed valuation of the district for the support of the schools of said school district, then the county board of education shall fix the county high school tax at a figure which will provide not to exceed two hundred ($200) dollars per high school student, as shown by the petition for a newly established district, or in average daily attendance for the last preceding school year in the event that said district high school has been operating for one school year; provided, however, that in no case shall the amount which the county board of education shall provide for the district high school be in excess of the amount shown by the budget submitted by the board of school trustees to be necessary for the support of said district high school for the year or years for which said budget is made. |

however, that in no case shall the amount which the county board of education shall provide for the district high school be in excess of the amount shown by the budget submitted by the board of school trustees to be necessary for the support of said district high school for the year or years for which said budget is made. Any district high school receiving county aid under the provisions of this act shall admit, without charge, all qualified high school students from adjacent school districts in the same county which do not have high schools of their own. Sec. 6. The county board of education shall include in its budget to be submitted to the board of county commissioners an estimate of the amount required to aid the district high school or district high schools in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Sec. 7. All high schools receiving county aid under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the usual requirements as to courses of study and supervision, and the state board of education shall have authority to regulate the work done in such school so as to keep the high school work up to proper standard and in harmony with the high school work maintained in the county high school or county high schools of the county. Sec. 8. The board of trustees of the high school district, with the approval of the board of county commissioners and upon petition of at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the qualified electors of any county, as shown by the vote cast at the preceding election for member of Congress, requesting such action, may include in its annual budget the cost of transporting high school pupils to and from a district high school at the expense of the county, and when the amount of such cost shall be so certified to the board of county commissioners it shall be the duty of the latter board to add to the next county tax such tax as may be necessary to provide such funds, and the board of education shall use the money collected from such tax for the purchase or use of motor vehicles and other necessary equipment, for the employment of drivers and other necessary employees, and in arranging for such transportation by contract or otherwise. In cases where pupils attending any other school situated in the same city or town as the district high school are transported at the expense of the public, the district board of education and the board of trustees of such other school district may enter into equitable agreements for the joint use of transportation facilities, so as to avoid a duplication of service and secure the maximum benefits from the moneys expended for transportation purposes.

Sec. 5. In counties not having a regularly established county high school, if the special district tax levy of not less than twenty-five (25’) cents, referred to in subparagraph 3 of section 4 hereof, together with any funds derived from state and county apportionments and any other source, are insufficient for the support of the schools of a district having a district high school, it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners to include in its annual tax levy the amount estimated as required to be needed from county aid for each district high school by the boards of trustees of the various district high schools in that county who have complied with the conditions set forth in subparagraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 of section 4 of this act, and such amounts when collected and paid into the county treasury shall be known as the County Aid to District High School Fund; provided, that not to exceed one hundred ($100) dollars per high school student, as shown in the petition for the newly established district high school, or in average daily attendance for the last preceding school year in a district high school already established, as the case may be, be provided by the county commissioners in the county levy for any district high school of a district which has a total special district tax of twenty-five (25’) cents on the one hundred ($100) dollars of property valuation of the district for the support of the schools of said school district; provided further, that not to exceed four ($4) dollars additional per each such high school student for each cent of the special district tax over and above twenty-five (25’) cents may be provided by the county commissioners in the county levy for any such district high school. The county aid for each district high school shall be segregated in this fund and may be drawn therefrom for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the district high school concerned, in the manner provided by law for drawing money from the county treasury by school trustees. It is hereby provided that the money so provided for each district high school shall be used for high school purposes and no other purpose. Sec. 6. All high schools receiving county aid under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the usual requirements as to courses of study and supervision, and the state board of education shall have authority to regulate the work done in such high school so as to keep the high school work up to proper standard and in harmony with the high school work maintained in the state. |

The board of trustees of the high school district, with the approval of the board of county commissioners and upon petition of at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the qualified electors of any county, as shown by the vote cast at the preceding election for member of Congress, requesting such action, may include in its annual budget the cost of transporting high school pupils to and from a district high school at the expense of the county, and when the amount of such cost shall be so certified to the board of county commissioners it shall be the duty of the latter board to add to the next county tax such tax as may be necessary to provide such funds, and the board of education shall use the money collected from such tax for the purchase or use of motor vehicles and other necessary equipment, for the employment of drivers and other necessary employees, and in arranging for such transportation by contract or otherwise; and in cases where pupils attending any other school situated in the same city or town as the district high school are transported at the expense of the public, the district board of education and the board of trustees of such other school district may enter into equitable agreements for the joint use of transportation facilities, so as to avoid a duplication of service and secure the maximum benefits from the moneys expended for transportation purposes.

Chap. 185An Act relating to foster homes for children; providing a license therefor; providing a penalty for the violation thereof; and other matters properly relating thereto.
[Approved March 25, 1939]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Any family home in which one or more children under 16 years of age not related by blood, adoption or marriage to the person or persons maintaining the home are received, cared for, and maintained for compensation or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a foster home for children. No person shall conduct a foster home so defined without receiving an annual license to do so from the state welfare department. Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the state welfare department, in cooperation with the state board of health, to establish reasonable minimum standards for foster homes and to prescribe rules for their regulation to which all licensed foster homes must conform. No license shall be issued to a foster home until an investigation of the home and its standards of care has been made by the state welfare department. Any foster home that conforms to the established standards of care and prescribed rules shall receive a license from the state welfare department, which shall be in force for one year from the date of issuance and, on reconsideration of the standards maintained, may be renewed annually. The license shall show the name of the persons licensed to conduct the foster home, its exact location and the number of children that may be received and cared for at one time, and no foster home can receive for care more children than are specified in the license. The division of child welfare services or its authorized agent shall visit every licensed foster home as often as is necessary to assure that proper care is given to the children. Sec. 3. No person other than the parents or guardian of a child and no agency or institution in this state or from any other state may place any child in the control or care of any person, or place such child for adoption without sending notice of the pending placement and receiving approval of the placement from the state welfare department. |

any other state may place any child in the control or care of any person, or place such child for adoption without sending notice of the pending placement and receiving approval of the placement from the state welfare department. Sec. 4. Except in proceedings for adoption no parent may voluntarily assign or otherwise transfer to another its rights and duties with respect to the permanent care, custody, and control of a child under 16 years of age, unless parental rights and duties have been terminated by order of the juvenile court. Sec. 5. Whenever the state welfare department shall be advised or shall have had reason to believe that any person is conducting or maintaining a foster home for children without a license, as required by this act, it shall have an investigation made, and if the person is conducting a foster home it shall either issue a license or take action to prevent continued operation of the foster home. If at any time the division of child welfare services shall find that a child in a foster home is subject to undesirable influences or lacks proper or wise care and management, it shall notify any agency or institution that has placed the child in the home to remove it from the home, or if the child is in a foster home where it has been placed by its parents, relatives, or other persons independently of an agency, it shall take necessary action to remove the child and arrange for its care; provided, however, that this act shall not apply to homes in which children are placed by their own parents or legal guardians, and where the total cost of care is provided by said parents or guardians. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this act is guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction is punishable by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Industrial insurance act
Individual rates |
Section 22. (a) Whenever an establishment or work is dangerous in comparison with other like establishments or works, the Nevada industrial commission may advance its classification of risk and premium rates in proportion to the hazard. Such advancement of classification of risks and premium rates may be made without previous notice. (b) When, during the first full fiscal year, after June 30, 1938, that any employer is a contributor to the state insurance fund, the total amount paid out of the state insurance fund, or set apart therefrom, as hereinafter provided, on account of injuries sustained by his workmen, together with all costs incidental to such claims, is less than fifty percent of the contribution to said fund by such employer during the period since the employer became subject to this act, the rate of contribution of such employer during the following fiscal year shall be reduced or increased in accordance with the following table:
All accounts that show a loss ratio in excess of 170% shall be considered extra hazardous, and the premium rate shall be increased as the commission may deem necessary under the provisions of the Nevada industrial insurance act. If an employer has neither operated under nor been subject to this act, as an employer, for the period of one full fiscal year, and again becomes subject to this act as an employer, he shall be considered, for experience rating purposes, the same as a new employer, and shall resume at base rate; otherwise, the rate of contribution of an employer for each succeeding fiscal year shall be determined, as herein provided, from the time such employer first became subject to this act subsequent to June 30, 1938, but for not more than the preceding five fiscal years. If, during the time for which the experience rating is determined, the contribution of any employer averages less than $50 per fiscal year after June 30, 1938, during which the employer operated subject to this act, the contribution for such employer for the ensuing fiscal year shall be at the base rate.

Chap. 196An Act to amend section 25 of an act entitled An act providing a general corporation law, approved March 21, 1925.
[Approved March 25, 1939]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section 25 of the above-entitled act, being section 1624 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, as amended by chapter 224 Statutes of Nevada 1931, is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 25. Any corporation incorporated or reincorporated under this act may from time to time reduce its capital at any time in the manner hereinafter provided; provided, that no reduction shall be made unless immediately after the reduction and adjustment of the outstanding shares in the manner hereinafter provided the capital of the corporation as reduced shall be at least equal to the sum of the aggregate par value of all shares of stock having par value remaining outstanding and the aggregate amount of capital as computed under section 24 of this act, or, if the same shall have been reduced, then the aggregate amount of the capital, as reduced, represented by those shares of stock without par value remaining outstanding. Such reduction of the capital and an adjustment of the outstanding shares to correspond with the capital as reduced may be affected (1) by retiring or reducing the number of the outstanding shares of any class; or (2) by drawing the necessary number of the outstanding shares of any class by lot for retirement; or (3) by causing the exchange by the holders of outstanding shares of any class or classes of their shares for a decreased number of shares of the same or a different class, which may include the exchange of shares having par value for shares without par value, or shares without par value for shares with par value; provided, that in the latter case the capital represented by each of the shares without par value so issued shall be determined in the resolutions authorizing such reduction of capital; or (4) by reducing the par value of the shares of any class or classes having par value, or the amount of capital represented by shares having no par value; or (5) by purchasing shares for retirement, either pro rata from all holders of shares of any class or classes or by purchasing the required number of shares from time to time in the open market, or at a private sale, in both cases at not exceeding such price or prices as may be fixed in the resolutions authorizing the said reduction of capital; or (6) by redeeming or purchasing preferred or special shares, subject to redemption, at not exceeding the price or prices at which the same may be redeemed; or (7) by retiring shares owned by the corporation, redeemed or purchased out of surplus. |

at which the same may be redeemed; or (7) by retiring shares owned by the corporation, redeemed or purchased out of surplus. If shares having a par value are retired, an amount not exceeding the aggregate par value of such shares, or if the shares be preference stock, the redemption price thereof, including dividends necessary to be paid upon redemption, may be charged against or paid out of the capital surplus or other surplus of the corporation in respect of such shares having a par value and, if shares having no par value are retired, an amount not exceeding that part of the capital of the corporation represented by such shares as computed under section 24 of this act, or, if the same shall have been reduced, then an amount not exceeding that part of the aggregate amount of the capital, as reduced, represented by such shares, or if the shares be preference stock, the redemption price thereof, including dividends necessary to be paid upon redemption, may be charged against or paid out of the capital surplus or other surplus of the corporation in respect of such shares having no par value. If such adjustment is made by the purchase, redemption or retirement of shares, the capital of the corporation shall be reduced by the amount of the capital then representing the shares so purchased, redeemed or retired. If, after the adjustment of the outstanding shares, there will exist an excess of the net assets of the corporation over the amount to which the capital is reduced, such excess may be transferred to surplus and be treated as such for all purposes, or it may immediately be distributed among the stockholders in any lawful manner. Except when preferred or special shares, subject to redemption, are purchased or redeemed, the reduction in capital shall not be effective, nor any distribution shall be made until the proposed method of effecting the reduction and disposition of any such excess shall be authorized and approved in the manner provided by section 7 of this act for the amendment of the certificate of incorporation, and a certificate of such action specifically setting forth the proposed method of effecting the reduction, and in the event there is to be a distribution to stockholders of any part of the excess created by such reduction, the amount so to be distributed, executed, authenticated and filed by the president or vice president and the secretary or assistant secretary in the same manner as provided in said section 7 of this act for a certificate of amendment of the certificate or articles of incorporation. Whenever any special or preferred shares subject to redemption are purchased or redeemed, the reduction in capital shall not be effective until a certificate of such action setting forth the action taken and stating that such action was taken under the authority of the board of directors shall be executed, authenticated and filed by the president or vice president and secretary or assistant secretary, in the same manner as provided in the preceding paragraph of this section 25 of this act. |

president or vice president and secretary or assistant secretary, in the same manner as provided in the preceding paragraph of this section 25 of this act. No reduction shall be made in the capital of the corporation unless the assets of the corporation remaining after such reduction are sufficient to pay any debts, the payment of which shall not have been otherwise provided for, and the certificate of reduction shall so state. No distribution shall be made to the stockholders of one class in violation of the equal or prior rights of another class as determined by the certificate of incorporation or amendments thereof. No such decrease of capital shall release the liabilities of any stockholder whose shares have not been fully paid. Unless otherwise provided in the resolutions authorizing the reduction of capital and the adjustment of shares, or in the certificate of incorporation as then amended, no action taken by any corporation under the provisions of this section shall operate as a reduction of the number of shares of such corporation which such corporation is authorized to have outstanding, and other shares may be issued in lieu of the shares so purchased, redeemed or retired; provided, that the maximum number of shares authorized in the certificate of incorporation as then amended shall not be exceeded; provided further, that the issuance of said shares shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of sections 12 and 13 of this act.

Sec. 6. The revenues provided for by the terms of this act to be paid into such fund shall, on all occasions, be applied for the purposes of redemption and interest payments on bonds; and in the event that any bonds may become due for redemption or any interest thereon becomes due when there shall be an insufficient sum of money in the fund hereby created, then, and in that event, any such deficiency shall be forthwith appropriated from and paid out of the general fund of the State of Nevada. In the event of the necessity for the appropriation of any such fund from the general fund of the State of Nevada, there shall, at the next levy, be made such an increase therein as to provide for any such sum that shall have been paid from the general fund, and the revenue so provided by said increased rate shall be repaid into the state treasury so as to make the same whole on account of such deficiency. Sec. 7. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed; provided, that it is not intended by the provisions of this act to repeal, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of the State of Nevada, nor the faith thereof, for the redemption of bonds and interest that have been or may hereafter be issued pursuant to any act of the legislature of this state. |
