1. The grand jury shall submit a draft of the report that it wishes to make to the court which impaneled it.
2. The court shall review its contents and, if it contains any material which violates paragraph (a) of subsection 2 of NRS 172.267, require the grand jury to expunge that material from the draft.
3. The court shall send to any person identified in the draft in violation of paragraph (b) of subsection 2 of NRS 172.267 the pertinent part of the draft and notify the person that the person has been identified in the draft of the report of the grand jury in connection with possible criminal conduct. The person may, within 5 days after receiving the notice and the portion of the draft, submit a written request to the court for a hearing in chambers to consider a motion to expunge that portion of the draft from the final report.
4. The court shall rule on any such motion to expunge material within 20 days after the completion of the hearing on the motion.
5. If the court determines that the draft:
(a) Violates in its entirety a provision of NRS 172.267; or
(b) After the removal of a portion pursuant to NRS 172.267, is so incomplete that it is meaningless,
it shall not file the report with the clerk of the district court but shall file instead a written statement describing, generally, its action and the basis for it.
6. The court shall file either the draft, the draft as corrected or the statement with the clerk of the district court within 60 days after receiving the draft from the grand jury. Upon filing, the draft becomes the final report of the grand jury.
7. Within 5 days after the report is filed, the clerk shall mail a copy of the pertinent portion of the report to each person or governmental entity mentioned in the report.
