1. The board of county commissioners of any county may, in accordance with chapter 308 of NRS, create one or more weed control districts in that portion of the county which lies outside any incorporated city. Creation of such a district may be initiated by the board of county commissioners or by a petition which:
(a) Designates the area to be included in the weed control district, either as the entire unincorporated area of the county or by sections or parts of sections with appropriate township and range references; and
(b) Is signed by an owner of land within the proposed weed control district.
2. Lands proposed for inclusion in a weed control district need not be contiguous.
3. Before creating a weed control district, the board of county commissioners shall:
(a) Hold at least one public hearing pursuant to NRS 308.070. At this hearing, the board of county commissioners shall entertain applications for the exclusion of lands, designated by sections or parts of sections as prescribed in subsection 1, from the proposed district, if any such application is made. The board of county commissioners shall exclude any such lands as to which it is shown to their satisfaction that any weeds which exist on that land do not render substantially more difficult the control of weeds on other lands in the proposed district.
(b) Provide for the hearing of protests against the establishment of the district in the manner set forth in NRS 318.065 and 318.070.
4. The board of trustees of a general improvement district may, in accordance with NRS 318.077, add to the basic powers of the district the control of noxious weeds.
