1. Before a vote is taken by a committee of the Assembly or the Senate on any bill or joint resolution which the Legislative Counsel, in consultation with the Fiscal Analysis Division, determines may reduce the revenues or increase the expenditures of a local government, the Fiscal Analysis Division shall prepare a fiscal note pursuant to NRS 218D.400 to 218D.495, inclusive.
2. Before preparing a fiscal note pursuant to this section, the Fiscal Analysis Division shall:
(a) Provide to the appropriate local governments a copy of the bill or joint resolution for which the fiscal note is required; and
(b) Request that the local governments review the bill or joint resolution and, if required, prepare a fiscal note pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2 of NRS 218D.475.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a fiscal note is not required if the only impact on a local government is that a bill or joint resolution increases or newly provides for a term of imprisonment in a county or city jail or detention facility, or makes release on probation therefrom less likely. The Fiscal Analysis Division shall prepare a fiscal note for a bill or joint resolution for which a fiscal note is not otherwise required pursuant to this subsection if, within 8 working days after the bill or joint resolution is introduced:
(a) A local government prepares a fiscal note for the bill or joint resolution and submits it to the Fiscal Analysis Division; and
(b) The fiscal note complies with requirements set forth in NRS 218D.470.
