Every common carrier by special permit shall have with his or its agent or servant in immediate charge, or in the records of the carrier, of every shipment of liquor into this state, a statement or freight bill showing the names of consignor, consignee, and carrier, the date when and place where the shipment was received, the destination, the number identifying the railroad car, truck, or other conveyance used, and the quantity and kind of liquor in the shipment as the case may be according to the designation of kind and quantity of liquor appearing on the shipment. The commission may make rules requiring the carrier to cause the consignee to sign a statement or a postcard, which statement or postcard shall be furnished by the commission to the carrier without expense, for receipt of each such shipment before the carrier permits the consignee to remove any such shipment from the point of destination or possession of the carrier, and to cause the carrier to forward such statement or postcard to the commission after having been so signed by the consignee. No liquor shall be imported into this state except by common carrier, contract carrier regularly operating as such, or carrier having a special permit so to do in the case of each shipment. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section or any of the rules made by the commission in respect thereto shall, on conviction, be punished as for a misdemeanor. In addition, any shipment of liquor transported into or within Nevada by an unauthorized carrier shall be confiscated and sold at auction to the highest bidder among the licensed importers in this state. If there is no such bidder, the liquor shall be either destroyed or disposed of as the commission may see fit. The proceeds of all such sales shall be classed as revenues derived from this act. The commission may by special permit authorize the transportation of liquor within this state by means of a conveyance owned and operated by a licensed importer, or a conveyance owned and operated by another, not being a common carrier or a regularly operating contract carrier, and as a condition of such permit may require that a sign be carried on such conveyance in letters at least three inches high, stating that such conveyance is carrying wholesale liquor by special permit. Such carriers by special permit shall be governed by the same rules, as to reports respecting and deliveries of import liquors, as in the case of common carriers and regularly operating contract carriers. Sec. 9. Section 19 of the above-entitled act, being section 3690.19 N. C. L. 1931-1941 Supplement, as amended by chapter 216, Statutes of Nevada 1945, page 379, is further amended to read as follows: Section 19.

of liquor in this state shall, for the privilege of importing, possessing, storing, or selling liquors, pay the excise tax herein imposed and established. If, after such tax is paid on any such liquor, satisfactory evidence is presented to the commission that not less than thirty-five (35%) percent of such imports have been actually exported and sold outside this state not in conflict with the law of the place of sale, the commission shall direct that a refund or credit of not more than thirty-five (35%) percent of the tax so paid shall be made to the taxpayer. The taxpayer shall report all such exports and report all such imports, and pay the tax on such imports, monthly, on forms and subject to regulations prescribed by the commission. (b) The commission shall make rules and regulations for determining the type and quantity of liquor actually imported and received by the importer and actually used by the importer, so as to relieve the importer from taxation on any shipments lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, and may require all claims in connection therewith to be sworn to and make ratable tax adjustments, credits, or refunds in the premises to effectuate the purpose of this act. It is hereby declared to be the intent of this act that no excise tax shall be imposed on liquor sold to permissible persons as herein defined, and the commission in computing the excise tax to be paid on liquor shall make rules for refunds or credits to be allowed to any importer making a satisfactory showing therefor. (c) An excise tax is hereby levied and shall be collected respecting all liquor and upon the privilege of importing, possessing, storing, or selling liquor, according to the following rates and classifications: On liquor containing more than twenty-two (22%) percent of alcohol by volume, 80 cents per wine gallon or proportionate part thereof. On liquor containing more than fourteen (14%) percent and including twenty-two (22%) percent of alcohol by volume, 25 cents per wine gallon or proportionate part thereof.

On all malt beverage liquor brewed or fermented and bottled in or outside this state, 3 cents per gallon. (d) Each licensed importer shall furnish a bond to the State of Nevada conditioned for the payment of all excise taxes due or to become due from him under the provisions of this act in a principal sum as the greatest excise tax paid by him in any quarter of the preceding year, or if such standard be not available, then in a sum required from a licensee operating under conditions deemed comparable by the commission, but in no case less than one thousand dollars. |

The commission on application and a satisfactory showing therefor may from time to time increase or decrease the amount of bond required, having consideration for the amount of importations made by the importer. The bond or undertaking shall be acceptable to and approved by the commission, and a deposit of cash or negotiable United States government bonds may be accepted in lieu of an undertaking. The commission shall deposit all bonds and deposits with the state treasurer as custodian thereof. (e) The commission shall make all necessary and convenient rules prescribing the form of reports and claims made by taxpayers; the time for making such reports and settlements thereon, and including rules respecting permissible persons as well as other importers. Sec. 10. The above-entitled act is further amended by adding thereto a new section to be known as 19.1, which shall immediately follow section 19, and which section 19.1 shall read as follows: Section 19.1. Whenever, after July 1, 1947, and before December 31, 1947, an importer desires to export liquors which he has imported, the salability of which has been impaired by competition in respect of changing prevailing standards of price and quality, and he presents a verified application to the commission for that privilege, the commission shall grant such privilege if it be satisfied that the application is true. Thereafter, if the applicant furnishes proof of the exportation of such liquor and of the excise taxes which he paid on the same when he imported them, the commission shall issue to him a credit memorandum or coupons good to their face value for the payment of excise taxes on liquors imported not later than December 31, 1947. Importers desiring to export liquors may proceed under subdivision (2) of section 19 of this act, or under this section 19.1, but not under both. Sec. 11. Section 23 of the above-entitled act, being section 3690.23 N. C. L. 1931-1941 Supplement, as amended by chapter 216, Statutes of Nevada 1945, page 381, is further amended to read as follows: Section 23. Each importer and wholesaler of liquor shall keep on hand at a fixed place of business in Nevada, at all times, liquor of a wholesale value of at least one thousand ($1,000) dollars, and shall also keep therein a record in such form as may be recommended by the commission of all liquor received into the State of Nevada, together with copies of invoices and a monthly inventory of all liquor on hand on the last day of each month, if requested to do so by the Nevada tax commission. |

[Approved March 31, 1947]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. As used in this act, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) Airport means any area of land or water designed and set aside for the landing and taking-off of aircraft and utilized in the interest of the public for such purposes. (2) Airport hazard means any structure or tree or use of land which obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft in landing or taking-off at any airport, or is otherwise hazardous to such landing or taking-off of aircraft. (3) Airport hazard area means any area of land or water upon which an airport hazard might be established if not prevented as provided in this act. (4) Political subdivision means any municipality, city, town, village, borough, or county. (5) Person means any individual, firm, copartnership, corporation, company, association, joint stock association, or body politic, and includes any trustee, receiver, assignee, or other similar representative thereof. (6) Structure means any object constructed or installed by man, including, but without limitation, buildings, towers, smokestacks, and overhead wires and other line. (7) Tree means any object of natural growth. Sec. 2. It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, take-off and maneuvering of aircraft and the public investment therein, accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the community served by the airport in question; (b) that it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented; and (c) that this should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by exercise of the police power, without compensation. |

It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and extend public funds and acquire land or property interests therein. Sec. 3. In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards, every political subdivision having an airport hazard area within its territorial limits may adopt, administer, and enforce, under the police power and in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter prescribed, airport zoning regulations for such airport hazard area, which regulations may divide such area into zones, and, within such zones, specify the land uses permitted and regulate and restrict the height to which structures and trees may be erected or allowed to grow. Sec. 4. Where an airport is owned or controlled by a political subdivision and any airport hazard area appertaining to such airport is located outside the territorial limits of said political subdivision, within or without the state, the political subdivision owning or controlling the airport and the political subdivision within which the airport hazard area is located may, by ordinance or resolution duly adopted, create a joint airport zoning board, which board shall have the same power to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning regulations applicable to the airport hazard area in question as that vested by section (3) in the political subdivision within which such area is located. Each such joint board shall have as members two representatives appointed by each political subdivision participating in its creation, and in addition a chairman elected by a majority of the members so appointed. Sec. 5. In the event that a political subdivision has adopted, or hereafter adopts, a comprehensive zoning ordinance regulating, among other things, the height of buildings, any airport zoning regulations applicable to the same area or portion thereof, may be incorporated in and made a part of such comprehensive zoning regulations, and be administered and enforced in connection therewith. Sec. 6. In the event of conflict between any airport zoning regulations adopted under this act and any other regulations applicable to the same area, whether the conflict be with respect to the height of structures or trees, the use of land, or any other matter, the more stringent limitation or requirement shall govern and prevail. |
κ1947 Statutes of Nevada, Page 685 (CHAPTER 205, AB 166)κ
|
use of land, or any other matter, the more stringent limitation or requirement shall govern and prevail. Sec. 7. No airport zoning regulations shall be adopted, amended, or changed under this act except by action of the joint board provided for in section 4, after a public hearing in relation thereto, at which public utilities owning facilities in the area involved, other parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least 15 days notice of the hearing shall be given to all public utilities, whether publicly or privately owned, owning facilities in the area involved, and at least fifteen days notice of the hearing shall be published in an official paper, or a paper of general circulation, in the political subdivision or subdivisions in which is located the airport hazard to be zoned. Sec. 8. Prior to the initial zoning of any airport hazard area under this act, the political subdivision or joint airport zoning board may adopt the regulations, and may appoint a commission, to be known as the airport zoning commission, and may recommend the boundaries of the various zones to be established, and the regulations to be adopted therefor. Such commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings thereon before submitting its final report, and the legislative body of the political subdivision or the joint airport zoning board shall not hold its public hearings or take other action until it has received the final report of such commission. Where a city plan commission or comprehensive zoning commission already exists, it may be appointed as the airport zoning commission. At least fifteen days notice of each such public hearing by such commission shall be given to all such public utilities owning facilities in the area involved. Sec. 9. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall be reasonable, and none shall impose any requirement or restriction which is not reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. In determining what regulations it may adopt, each political subdivision and joint airport zoning board shall consider, among other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be conducted at the airport, the nature of the terrain within the airport hazard area, the character of the neighborhood, and the uses to which the property to be zoned is put and adaptable. Sec. 10. No airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations when adopted or amended, or otherwise interfere with the continuance of any nonconforming use, except as provided in section 13. |

Sec. 11.

In any event, however, all such regulations shall provide that before any nonconforming structure or tree may be replaced, substantially altered, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher, or replanted, a permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorized to administer and enforce the regulations, authorizing such replacement or change. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming structure or tree or nonconforming use to be made or become higher or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was when the applicable regulation was adopted or than it is when the application for a permit is made. Except as provided herein, all applications for permits shall be granted. Sec. 12. Any person desiring to erect any structure, or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use his property in violation of airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, may apply to the board of adjustment for a variance from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest, but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of the regulations and this act; provided, that any variance may be allowed subject to any reasonable conditions that the board of adjustment may deem necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. Sec. 13. In granting any permit or variance under this section, the administrative agency or board of adjustment may, if it deems such action advisable to effectuate the purposes of this act and reasonable in the circumstances, so condition such permit or variance as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the political subdivision, at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard. The political subdivision may, with the permission of the owner and at its own expense, install, operate, and maintain, upon nonconforming structures existing at the time the particular zoning regulation is adopted or amended, such markers or lights as may be necessary. |

Any person aggrieved by any decision of an administrative agency made in its administration of airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, or any governing body of a political subdivision, or any joint airport zoning board, which is of the opinion that a decision of such an administrative agency is an improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern to such governing body or board, may appeal to the board of adjustment authorized to hear and decide appeals from the decisions of such administrative agency. Sec. 15. All appeals taken under this section must be taken within a reasonable time, as provided by the rules of the board, by filing with the agency from which the appeal is taken and with the board, a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The agency from which the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. Sec. 16. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the agency from which the appeal is taken certifies to the board, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in its opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such cases proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by order of the board on notice to the agency from which the appeal is taken and on due cause shown. The board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give public notice and due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney. The board may, in conformity with the provisions of this act, reverse, affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from, and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the powers of the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken. Sec. 17. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall provide for the administration and enforcement of such regulations by an administrative agency, which may be an agency created by such regulations or any official, board, or other existing agency of the political subdivision adopting the regulations, or of one of the political subdivisions which participated in the creation of the joint airport zoning board adopting the regulations, if satisfactory to that political subdivision, but in no case shall such administrative agency be or include any member of the board of adjustment. |

The duties of any administrative agency designated pursuant to this act shall include that of hearing and deciding all permits under section 11, but such agency shall not have or exercise any of the powers herein delegated to the board of adjustment. Sec. 18. All airport zoning regulations adopted under this act shall provide for a board of adjustment to have and exercise the following powers: (1) To hear and decide appeals from any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by the administrative agency in the enforcement of the airport zoning regulations, as provided in section 14. (2) To hear and decide any special exceptions to the terms of the airport zoning regulations upon which such board may be required to pass under such regulations. (3) To hear and decide specific variances under section 11. Sec. 19. Where a zoning board of appeals or adjustment already exists, it may be appointed as the board of adjustment. Otherwise, the board of adjustment shall consist of five members, each to be appointed for a term of three years by the authority adopting the regulations, and to be removable by the appointing authority for cause, upon written charges and after public hearing. Sec. 20. The concurring vote of a majority of the members of the board of adjustment shall be sufficient to reverse any order, requirement, decision, or determination of the administrative agency, or to decide in favor of the applicant on any matter upon which it is required to pass under the airport zoning regulations, or to effect any variation in such regulations. Sec. 21. The board shall adopt rules in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance or resolution by which it was created. Meetings of the board shall be held at the call of the chairman and at such other times as the board may determine. The chairman, or in his absence the acting chairman, may administer oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses. All hearings of the board shall be public. The board shall keep minutes of its proceedings, showing the vote of each member upon each question, or, if absent or failing to vote, indicating such fact, and shall keep records of its examinations and other official actions, all of which shall immediately be filed in the office of the board and shall be a public record. Sec. 22. Any person aggrieved, or taxpayer affected, by any decision of a board of adjustment, or any governing body of a political subdivision, or any joint airport zoning board which is of the opinion that a decision of a board of adjustment is illegal, may present to the district court a verified petition setting forth that the decision is illegal, in whole or in part, and specifying the grounds of the illegality. |

board which is of the opinion that a decision of a board of adjustment is illegal, may present to the district court a verified petition setting forth that the decision is illegal, in whole or in part, and specifying the grounds of the illegality. Such petition shall be presented to the court within 30 days after the decision is filed in the office of the board. Upon presentation of such petition the court may allow a writ of certiorari directed to the board of adjustment to review such decision of the board. The allowance of the writ shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, on application, on notice to the board and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order. The board of adjustment shall not be required to return the original papers acted upon by it, but it shall be sufficient to return certified or sworn copies thereof, or of such portions thereof as may be called for by the writ. The return shall concisely set forth such other facts as may be pertinent and material to show the grounds of the decision appealed from and shall be verified. Sec. 23. The court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm, modify, or set aside the decision brought up for review, in whole or in part, and if need be, to order further proceedings by the board of adjustment. The findings of fact of the board, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be accepted by the court as conclusive, and no objection to a decision of the board shall be considered by the court unless such objection shall have been urged before the board, or, if it was not so urged, unless there were reasonable grounds for failure to do so. Cost shall not be allowed against the board of adjustment unless it appears to the court that it acted with gross negligence, in bad faith, or with malice, in making the decision appealed from. Sec. 24. In any case in which airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, although generally reasonable, are held by a court to interfere with the use or enjoyment of a particular structure or parcel of land to such an extent, or to be so onerous in their application to such a structure or parcel of land, as to constitute a taking or deprivation of that property in violation of the constitution of this state or the constitution of the United States, such holding shall not affect the application of such regulations to other structures and parcels of land. Sec. 25. Each violation of this act or of any regulations, orders, or rulings promulgated or made pursuant to this act, shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment for not more than ninety days, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and each day a violation continues to exist shall constitute a separate offense. |

each day a violation continues to exist shall constitute a separate offense. In addition, the political subdivision or agency adopting zoning regulations under this act may institute in any court of competent jurisdiction, an action to prevent, restrain, correct, or abate any violation of this act, or of airport zoning regulations adopted under this act, or of any order or ruling made in connection with their administration or enforcement, and the court shall adjudge to the plaintiff such relief, by way of injunction (which may be mandatory) or otherwise, as may be proper under all the facts and circumstances of the case, in order fully to effectuate the purposes of this act and of the regulations adopted and orders and rulings made pursuant thereto. Sec. 26. In any case in which: (1) it is desired to remove, lower, or otherwise terminate a nonconforming structure, tree or use; or (2) the approach protection necessary cannot, because of constitutional limitations, be provided by airport zoning regulations under this act; or (3) it appears advisable that the necessary approach protection be provided by acquisition of property rights rather than by airport zoning regulations, the political subdivision within which the property or nonconforming use is located, or the political subdivision owning the airport or served by it may acquire, by purchase, grant, or condemnation in the manner provided by the law under which political subdivisions are authorized to acquire property for public purposes, such air right, avigation easement, or other estate or interest in the property or nonconforming structure or use in question as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. In the case of the purchase of any property or any easement or estate or interest therein, or the acquisition of the same by condemnation, the political subdivision making such purchase or exercising such power shall, in addition to the damages for the taking, injury or destruction of property, also pay the cost of the removal and relocation of any structure or equipment of any such public utility which is required to be moved to a new location. Sec. 27. If any provision of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the provisions or applications of the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are declared to be severable. Sec. 28. This act shall be known and may be cited as the Airport Zoning Act. Sec. 29. All acts or parts of acts which are inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 30.

Section 1. Section III of the above-entitled act, being 1929 N. C. L. 1941 Supp., section 7719.02, is hereby amended to read as follows:
SECTION III
(1) A trust receipt transaction within the meaning of this act is any transaction to which an entruster and a trustee are parties, for one of the purposes set forth in subdivision (3) of this section, whereby (a) The entruster or any third person delivers to the trustee goods, documents or instruments in which the entruster (i) prior to the transaction has, or for new value (ii) by the transaction acquires, or (iii) as the result thereof is to acquire promptly, a security interest; or (b) The entruster gives a new value in reliance upon the transfer by the trustee to such entruster of a security interest in instruments or documents which are actually exhibited to such entruster, or to his agent in that behalf, at a place of business of either entruster or agent, possession of which is retained by the trustee; provided, that the delivery under paragraph (a) or the giving of new value under paragraph (b) either (i) Be against the signing and delivery by the trustee of a writing designating the goods, documents, or instruments concerned, and reciting that a security interest therein remains in or will remain in, or has passed to or will pass to, the entruster; or (ii) Be pursuant to a prior or concurrent written and signed agreement of the trustee to give such a writing. The security interest of the entruster may be derived from the trustee or from any other person, and by pledge or by transfer of title or otherwise. If the trustees rights in the goods, documents, or instruments are subject to a prior trust receipt transaction, or to a prior equitable pledge, section V-(E) and section IV, respectively, of this act, determine the priorities. (2) A writing such as is described in subdivision (1), paragraph (i), of this section signed by the trustee, and given in or pursuant to such a transaction, is designated in this act as a trust receipt.

(3) A transaction shall not be deemed a trust receipt transaction unless the possession of the trustee thereunder is for a purpose substantially equivalent to any one of the following: (a) In the case of goods, documents or instruments, for the purpose of selling or exchanging them, or of procuring their sale or exchange; or (b) In the case of goods or documents, for the purpose of manufacturing or processing the goods delivered or covered by the documents, with the purpose of ultimate sale, or for the purpose of loading, unloading, storing, shipping, transshipping, or otherwise dealing with them in a manner preliminary to or necessary to their sale; or (c) In the case of instruments, for the purpose of delivering them to a principal, under whom the trustee is holding them, or for consummation of some transaction involving delivery to a depositary or registrar, or for their presentation, collection, or renewal. (4) A trust receipt transaction is also one in which, pursuant to a trust receipt, a dealer as trustee obtains new value from an entruster upon the transfer to the latter of a security interest in goods whether or not such goods are owned or possessed by the trustee prior or subsequent to the execution of the trust receipt document, and whether or not such goods are thereafter retained in the trustees possession. |

being supplied by private enterprise, and that exercise of the powers of housing authorities for housing of such persons is necessary during the existence of such temporary shortage; and Whereas, Upon the termination of such shortage of housing for such persons such housing should be utilized for the need of veterans and other persons of low income; now, therefore,
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. This act may be referred to as the Housing Authorities Law. Sec. 2.

or any funds not required for immediate disbursement, liquid securities in which savings banks may legally invest funds subject to their control. (f) To exercise all or any part or combination of powers herein granted. No provision of law with respect to the acquisition, operation, or disposition of property by other public bodies shall be applicable to an authority unless the legislature shall specifically so state. Sec. 8. It is hereby declared to be the policy of this state that each authority shall manage and operate its housing projects in an efficient manner so as to enable it to fix the rentals or payments for dwelling accommodations at low rates consistent with its providing decent, safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations for persons of low income, and that no authority shall construct or operate any housing project for profit, or as a source of revenue to the city, town, or the county. To this end an authority shall fix the rentals or payments for dwellings in its housing projects at no higher rates than it shall find to be necessary in order to produce revenues which (together with all other available moneys, revenues, income and receipts of the authority from whatever sources derived) will be sufficient (a) to pay, as the same become due, the principal and interest on the bonds of the authority; (b) to create and maintain such reserves as may be required to assure the payment of principal and interest as it becomes due on its bonds; (c) to meet the cost of, and to provide for, maintaining and operating the housing projects (including necessary reserves therefor and the cost of any insurance) and the administrative expenses of the authority; and (d) to make such payments in lieu of taxes as it determines are consistent with the maintenance of the low-rent character of the housing projects. Sec. 9. In the operation or management of housing projects an authority shall at all times observe the following duties with respect to rentals and tenant admissions: (a) It may rent or lease the dwelling accommodations therein only to veterans and other persons of low income, with preference to veterans and servicemen and families of deceased persons who served in the armed forces, and at rentals within the financial reach of such persons; (b) it may rent or lease to a tenant dwelling accommodations consisting of the number of rooms (but no greater number) which it deems necessary to provide safe and sanitary accommodations to the proposed occupants thereof, without overcrowding; and (c) an authority shall not accept any person or persons as tenants in any housing project if the person or persons who occupy the dwelling accommodations have an aggregate annual net income in excess of five times the annual rental of the quarters to be furnished such person or persons, except that in the case of persons with three or more minor dependents, such ratio shall not exceed six to one. |

|
income in excess of five times the annual rental of the quarters to be furnished such person or persons, except that in the case of persons with three or more minor dependents, such ratio shall not exceed six to one. In computing the rental for this purpose of admitting tenants, there shall be included in the rental the average annual cost (as determined by the authority) to occupants of heat, water, electricity, gas, cooking fuel, and other necessary services or facilities, whether or not the charge for such services and facilities is included in the rental. Nothing contained in this or the preceding section shall be construed as limiting the power of an authority to vest in an obligee the right, in the event of a default by the authority, to take possession thereof or cause the appointment of a receiver thereof, free from all the restrictions imposed by this or the preceding section. Sec. 10. Any authority or authorities may join or cooperate with another in the exercise, either jointly or otherwise, of any of their powers for the purpose of financing, including the issuance of bonds, notes, or other obligations and the giving of security therefor, planning, undertaking, owning, constructing, operating, or contracting with respect to a housing project or projects located within the area within which one or more of such authorities are authorized to exercise their powers. For such purpose any cooperating authority may, by resolution, prescribe and authorize any authority so joining and cooperating with it to act in its behalf in the exercise of any of such powers or the cooperating authorities may, by resolution, appoint from among the commissioners of such authorities an executive committee with full powers to act on behalf of such authorities with respect to any of their powers as prescribed by resolution of such authority. Sec. 11. An authority shall agree to make such payments in lieu of taxes to the city, town, county, and the state, or any political subdivision thereof, as it finds consistent with the maintenance of the low-rent character of housing projects or the achievement of the purposes of this act. Sec. 12. An authority shall have power to issue bonds from time to time, in its discretion, for any of its corporate purposes. An authority shall also have power to issue refunding bonds for the purpose of paying or retiring bonds previously issued by it. An authority may issue such types of bonds as it may determine, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) bonds on which the principal and interest are payable: (a) exclusively from the income and revenues of the housing project financed with the proceeds of such bonds; (b) exclusively from the income and revenues of certain designated housing projects whether or not they are financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of such bonds; or (c) from its revenues generally. |

revenues of certain designated housing projects whether or not they are financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of such bonds; or (c) from its revenues generally. Any such bonds may be additionally secured by a pledge of any grant or contributions from the federal government or other source, or a pledge of any income or revenues of the authority, or a mortgage of any housing project, projects or other property of the authority. Neither the commissioners of an authority nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds by reason of the issuance thereof. The bonds and other obligations of an authority (and such bonds and obligations shall so state on their face) shall not be a debt of the city, the county, the state, or any political subdivision thereof, and neither the city, the county, the state, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be liable thereon, nor in any event shall such bonds or obligations be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of said authority. The bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Sec. 13. Bonds of an authority shall be authorized by its resolution and may be issued in one or more series and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, bear interest at such rate or rates, not exceeding six per centum (6%) per annum, be in such denomination or denominations, be in such form either coupon or registered, carry such conversion or registration privileges, have such rank or priority, be executed in such manner, be payable in such medium of payment, at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption (with or without premium) as such resolution, its trust indenture or mortgage may provide. The bonds may be sold at public or private sale at not less than par. In case any of the commissioners or officers of the authority whose signatures appear on any bonds or coupons shall cease to be such commissioners or officers before the delivery of such bonds, such signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such commissioners or officers had remained in office until such delivery. Any provision of any law to the contrary notwithstanding, any bonds issued pursuant to this act shall be fully negotiable. In any suit, action, or proceedings involving the validity or enforceability of any bond of an authority or the security therefor, any such bond reciting in substance that it has been issued by the authority to aid in financing a housing project, as herein defined, shall be conclusively deemed to have been issued for such purpose and such project shall be conclusively deemed to have been planned, located, and carried out in accordance with the purposes and provisions of this act. |

The examination, both written and oral, shall be in English, and its scope shall be such as is hereafter prescribed; provided, however, no applicant shall be entitled to take an examination unless: 1. He is a graduate from an approved course in engineering of four years or more in a school or college approved by the board as of satisfactory standing, and has a specific record of an additional four years or more of active practice in engineering work of a character satisfactory to the board, and indicating that the applicant is competent to be placed in responsible charge of such work; or 2. In lieu of the requirements contained in subsection 1 of this section, he has a specific record of eight (8) years or more of active practice in engineering work of a character satisfactory to the board, and indicating that the applicant is competent to be placed in responsible charge of such work. No person shall be eligible for registration as a professional engineer who is not of good character and reputation. The satisfactory completion of each year of approved courses in engineering in a school or college approved by the board as of satisfactory standing, without graduation, shall be considered as equivalent to a year of active practice. Graduation in a course other than engineering from a college or university of recognized standing shall be considered as equivalent to two years of active practice; provided, however, that no applicant shall receive credit for more than four (4) years of active practice because of educational qualifications. The mere execution as a contractor of work designed by a professional engineer, or the supervision of the construction of such work as a foreman or superintendent shall not be deemed to be active practice in engineering work. Any person having the necessary qualifications prescribed in this act to entitle him to registration shall be eligible for such registration, though he may not be practicing his profession at the time of making his application. 3. The written examinations for registration as a professional engineer will consist of a two-day test (four four-hour periods) divided into two parts; part one will cover the subject matter of a general engineering education or training. If the applicant is a graduate from an engineering school which the board in its discretion may approve, part one may be waived. |

one may be waived. Part two will cover that branch of engineering in the practice of which the applicant is engaged, as indicated by his experience record. Where possible, the usually recognized branches of engineering will be considered in the preparation of the examination; the board reserves the right to conform the nature and extent of the examination to the particular qualifications of the applicant. To qualify for registration the applicant must receive a grade of not less than 70% on his examination. Free use of notes, texts, and reference books will be allowed. 4. Oral examinations shall be given in the manner prescribed by the board. Sec. 6. Section 6 of the above-entitled act, being section 2875 N. C. L. 1941 Supp., is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 6. Any person who shall practice or offer to practice the profession of engineering in this state without being registered, or exempt in accordance with the provisions of this act, or any registered professional engineer who shall practice or offer to practice a branch of professional engineering in which the board has not qualified him, or any person presenting or attempting to use as his own the certificate of registration or the seal of another, or any person who shall give any false or forged evidence of any kind to the board, or any member thereof in obtaining a certificate of registration, or any person who shall falsely impersonate any other registrant of like or different name, or any person who shall attempt to use an expired or revoked certificate of registration, or any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceeding three months, or both. Sec. 7. Section 7 of the above-entitled act, being section 2875.01 N. C. L. 1941 Supp., is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 7. The board shall issue a certificate of registration upon payment of registration fee as provided for in this act, to any applicant who, in the opinion of the board, has satisfactorily met all the requirements of this act. In case of a registered engineer, the certificate shall authorize the practice of professional engineering, followed by the branch or branches for which he is qualified. Certificates of registration shall show the full name of the registrant, shall have a serial number, and shall be signed by the chairman and the secretary of the board under seal of the board. The issuance of a certificate of registration by this board shall be evidence that the person named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a registered professional engineer while the said certificate remains unrevoked or unexpired. |

An oral examination shall be required of such persons during a session of the board at which a quorum is present and a written examination may be required, at the discretion of the board. Sec. 11.

Sec. 15. Board May Accredit Nursing Schools. Any institution desiring to conduct a school of nursing in this state shall submit to the board evidence that it is prepared to give a thirty-six-month course of theoretical instruction and practical experience in nursing, embracing a curriculum prescribed by the board, and that it is prepared to meet such other standards as may be established by the board from time to time. No school of nursing shall be accredited by the board until the board has caused a thorough survey of the facilities of such school to be made. No such survey shall be deemed complete for the purposes of this section until a full and complete written report shall have been made to the board, and until such written report shall have received the full consideration of the whole board. In the event that any school of nursing making application for accreditation shall indicate that one or more of the courses required by the prescribed curriculum is or are to be offered by an institution or institutions affiliated with such applicant, the board shall cause a survey of the facilities of such affiliated institution or institutions to be made, and the written report thereon shall receive the full consideration of the board before accreditation. From time to time and not less than once each year it shall be the duty of the board to cause to be surveyed all accredited schools of nursing in this state. Full and complete written reports of such surveys shall be submitted to and considered by the full board. If, after consideration of such reports, the board determines that any such school of nursing is not maintaining the standards required by this act, and by the board, notice thereof in writing specifying the defect or defects shall immediately be given to such school. The board shall revoke the accreditation of any school of nursing which fails to remedy such defect or defects within a reasonable time after receiving written notice thereof. Sec. 16. Disciplinary Proceedings. The board shall have power to deny, revoke, or suspend any license to practice nursing as a registered nurse applied for or issued under this act, or otherwise to discipline a licensee upon proof that he or she: (1) Is guilty of fraud or deceit in procuring or attempting to procure a license to practice nursing as a registered nurse. (2) Is guilty of a crime or gross immorality. (3) Is unfit or incompetent by reason of negligence, habits, or other causes. (4) Is habitually intemperate or is addicted to the use of habit-forming drugs. |

(5) Is mentally incompetent. (6) Is guilty of unprofessional conduct. (7) Has willfully or repeatedly violated this act. The board shall have jurisdiction to hear all charges brought against any licensee under the provisions of this section, and upon such hearing shall determine said charges upon their merits. Upon the filing of a verified complaint with the board, charging any licensee with having been guilty of any of the actions specified above as grounds for disciplinary action, the president of the board shall appoint a committee of three board members to investigate such complaint. If such a committee believes a hearing to be necessary the secretary of the board shall fix a time and place for hearing before the whole board and shall cause a copy of the charges, together with a notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing, to be served on the accused or his or her counsel at least ten days prior thereto. If, after twenty (20) days, personal service cannot be effected, the secretary of the board shall send by registered mail notice of the time and place of said hearing, together with a copy of the charges preferred, to the accused at his or her last-known address. The hearing shall not be held less than thirty (30) days after notice thereof has been mailed to the accused. At the hearing the accused shall have the right to appear either personally or by counsel, or both, to produce witnesses and evidence on his or her own behalf, to cross-examine witnesses and to have subpenas issued by the board. If, upon the conclusions of the hearing, the accused is found guilty of the charges, or of any of them, the board may suspend or revoke his or her license in accordance with its bylaws and regulations. But any revocation of license, suspension thereof for a fixed period, reprimand, censure, or other disciplinary action shall only be by unanimous vote of the members of the board. If the accused is found not guilty the board shall issue an order dismissing all charges. The board shall not be bound by strict rules of procedure or by the laws of evidence in the conduct of its proceedings; but its findings and decision in every case shall be based upon competent legal evidence. Any person aggrieved by the action of the board in suspending or revoking his or her license may appeal to the district court in the county in which he or she resides, within thirty (30) days after written notice of such action. The board, by unanimous action, in accordance with its bylaws and regulations, may reissue a license to a person whose license has been suspended or revoked under the provisions of this section; provided, however, that in case of revocation of license an interval of one year shall have elapsed since the date of such revocation. |

Sec. 8. At least one day before the time of the apprehension a copy of the petition and order for detention shall be personally delivered to the person or his representative and, unless the petition is filed by such a relative, to the wife, husband, father, mother, or other nearest relative of the person alleged to be mentally ill, if any such relative is known to be within the county; if no such relative is known to be within the county, a copy of the petition and order for detention shall be personally delivered to the person with whom such alleged mentally ill person resides or at whose home he is, or in the absence of that person, to a friend of the alleged mentally ill person. However, where it is affirmatively shown that the mentally ill person requires emergency apprehension for his own protection, or the protection of the person or the property of others, the judge of the district court, upon verified petition, may issue an order for the immediate apprehension and detention of the person pending hearing. Sec. 9. If the court in which the petition is filed is satisfied from any statement contained in the papers in the proceeding, or from inquiry, that personal service of the petition, of the order of detention, and of notice on the alleged mentally ill person would be ineffective or detrimental to such person, the court may dispense with such service, and the court shall dispense with such service, if two medical examiners state in writing under oath that personal service upon the alleged mentally ill person would in their opinion be detrimental to such person. |
κ1947 Statutes of Nevada, Page 821 (CHAPTER 257, AB 206)κ
|
examiners state in writing under oath that personal service upon the alleged mentally ill person would in their opinion be detrimental to such person. Sec. 10. If a request is made for a hearing on behalf of the alleged mentally ill person, the judge shall, or he may upon his own motion, by order fix such time and place for the hearing and examination as will give reasonable opportunity for the production and examination of witnesses. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given each person upon whom the petition was served and such other persons as the court may order; such notice may be sent by registered mail with return receipt requested to the last-known address of each such person. The order shall be entered at length in the minute book of the court or shall be signed by the judge and filed. Sec. 11. Upon sufficient showing that the interest of the patient as to his mental and physical condition would best be subserved thereby, the court may continue the hearing. Upon demand made at any time during the continuance by the patient or any of his relatives, friends, counsel, or representative, the court shall set the hearing at a date not more than five days from the time the demand was made. Sec. 12. The judge of the district court may, for any hearing, order the clerk of the court to issue subpenas and compel the attendance of witnesses from any place within the boundaries of this state; but no person is obliged to attend as a witness in such a hearing out of the county where he resides or is served unless the judge, upon affidavit to the effect that affiant believes that the evidence of the witness is material and his attendance at the hearing necessary, endorses on the subpena an order for the attendance of the witness. The judge shall require the attendance of at least two medical examiners, who shall hear the testimony of all witnesses, make a personal examination of the alleged mentally ill person, and testify before the judge as to the result of the examination, and to any other pertinent facts within their knowledge. The judge shall also cause to be examined before him, as a witness, any other person who he has reason to believe has any knowledge of the mental condition of the alleged mentally ill person or of his financial condition or that of the persons liable for his maintenance. Sec. 13. The alleged mentally ill person shall be present at the hearing, and if he has no attorney, the judge may appoint an attorney to represent him. Sec. 14. The provisions of this act shall be liberally construed so that persons who are mentally disordered and bordering on mental illness, but not dangerously mentally ill, may, without being committed as an insane person, be by order of the court placed in the care and custody of the resident physician of the Nevada hospital for mental diseases to receive humane care and be restored to normal mental condition as rapidly as possible. |

may, without being committed as an insane person, be by order of the court placed in the care and custody of the resident physician of the Nevada hospital for mental diseases to receive humane care and be restored to normal mental condition as rapidly as possible. Sec. 15. The reasonable cost of maintenance of a person committed under the provisions of this act, in a sum to be fixed by the court at the time of the commitment, shall be defrayed out of the estate of the patient so committed or shall be a charge upon his relatives liable for his maintenance. If, however, the patient is found to be an indigent and bona fide resident of the county for a period of one year, and without funds or relatives responsible for his maintenance able to pay such charge, then the expense of his maintenance shall be a charge upon the county in which the court has jurisdiction, and shall be paid out of the county treasury upon a written order of the judge of the district court of the county, directing the county auditor to draw his warrant upon the county treasurer specifying the amount of such expense. All funds expended by the county for the maintenance of such patient, or such maintenance in a sum or rate per day or per month fixed by the commissioners of the state hospital, shall be a charge against such patient or against his husband, wife, father, mother, or children, in the order named, and the county shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor. If such patient has property or acquires any the county shall have a claim against him or his estate, if deceased, to the amount of expense incurred, and said claim shall be enforced, if necessary, by action against him or his estate, if deceased, upon order of the board of commissioners of the county incurring such expense. If the patient has such husband, wife, father, mother, or children liable to him for his maintenance, the county shall have a claim against such relatives, or any of them, in the order named, to the amount of expense incurred, and said claim shall be enforced, if necessary, by action against such relatives, or any of them, upon order of the board of commissioners of the county incurring such expense. If the indigent patient is a nonresident of the county or if a relative or a friend of the patient is found outside the county, of whose ability and willingness to assume the responsibility and the expense of the proper care of the patient the court is satisfied, the court may release the patient to the custody of such relative or friend, and the cost and expense of transporting the patient to the home of the relative or friend or to the county or state where the patient has a legal residence shall be a charge upon the county in which the court has jurisdiction, and shall be paid in the manner prescribed in this section for the payment of other expenses for the care of such patients. |

a legal residence shall be a charge upon the county in which the court has jurisdiction, and shall be paid in the manner prescribed in this section for the payment of other expenses for the care of such patients. Where the county has incurred expense upon order of court or is likely to incur such expense for the maintenance of such patient and he has estate for which no guardian has been appointed out of which the county is or may be entitled to reimbursement, the district attorney shall apply to the proper court for the appointment of a guardian of the estate of such patient. It shall be competent for a county employee to act as such guardian. Where such county employee is appointed and acts as such guardian he shall act without guardianship fees being charged or received from said estate, and the board of county commissioners may order that expenses necessary in the conduct of the guardianship and the necessary premiums on the bonds of the guardian be advanced by the county, and if so ordered by said board such expenses shall be a charge against the county, but the county shall be reimbursed therefor out of any funds or property of the estate of such patient by said guardian. Any such guardian may sell or encumber the property of the estate of such patient under the provisions of the general law in relation to guardians and from the proceeds of any such sale or encumbrance or from any other funds of the estate which may come into his possession, he shall pay to the county the expense incurred by it for the maintenance of such patient and shall pay, when available, the expense subsequently incurred by the county for any such maintenance. No fee shall be charged or received by the county clerk for the filing of any such guardianship petition nor for any official service performed by him in the course of the guardianship proceedings. Sec. 16. Pursuant to rules and regulations established by the board of commissioners, the resident physician of the Nevada hospital for mental diseases may receive and detain in such hospital, as a boarder and patient, any person who is a suitable person for care and treatment in such hospital, upon receipt of a written application for the admission of the person into the hospital for care and treatment made in accordance with the following requirements: (a) In the case of an adult person, the application shall be made voluntarily by the person, at a time when such person is in such condition of mind as to render such person competent to make it or in the case of a minor person, the application shall be made by his parent or by the parent, guardian, or to the person entitled to the custody. |

(b) The application shall be made to the board of commissioners and approved by the resident physician as to the suitability of the person for care and treatment at the hospital. Any such person received and detained at the hospital shall be deemed a voluntary patient. Sec. 17. Upon the admission of a voluntary patient to the hospital, the resident physician shall immediately forward to the board of commissioners the record of such voluntary patient, showing the name, residence, age, sex, place of birth, occupation, date of admission, and such other information as is required by the rules and regulations of the department. Sec. 18. The weekly or monthly rate for the care, support and maintenance of such voluntary patients shall be determined by the resident physician of the hospital, with the approval of the board, and shall be payable in advance. In cases where there has been an advance payment under this section, and such advances or any part thereof should be refunded because of the death or discharge of the patient, such amount shall be paid by the board to the person who made payment, upon demand, and the amount refunded shall be itemized and the aggregate deducted from the amount to be paid into the state treasury from pay patients as provided by law. Sec. 19. No person received into the hospital under such voluntary application shall be detained therein for more than seven (7) days after having given notice, in writing, to the board of commissioners or resident physician of such persons desire to leave the hospital. Sec. 20. The board of commissioners of the hospital shall establish such rules and regulations as are necessary properly to carry out the provisions of this act. Sec. 21.

The commission, and its members, officers and employees in the performance of their functions, may enter upon any land and make examinations and surveys and place and maintain necessary monuments and marks thereon. In general, the commission shall have such power as may be necessary to enable it to fulfill its functions and carry out the purposes of this act. Sec. 7.

Such parts shall thereupon be indorsed and certified as master plans thus adopted for the territory covered, and are hereby declared to be established to conserve and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. Before adopting any such plan or part thereof, the governing body shall hold at least one public hearing hereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the city or counties at least ten days before the day of such hearing.

Failure of the planning commission so to report within forty days, or such longer period as may be designated by the governing body after such reference, shall be deemed to be approval of the proposed change or addition. Whenever the governing body of any city or county shall have adopted a master plan or part thereof for such city or county, or for any major section or district thereof, it shall be the duty of such governing body, upon recommendation of the planning commission, to determine upon reasonable and practical means for putting into effect such master plan or part thereof, in order that the same will serve as a pattern and guide for the orderly physical growth and development of such city or county and as a basis for the efficient expenditure of funds thereof relating to the subjects of such master plan. |
