If the Governor endorses the statement of the emergency by written endorsement at the end of the full text of the statement of emergency on the original copy of a proposed regulation, the regulation may be adopted and become effective immediately upon its being filed in the Office of the Secretary of State pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 233B.070. The statement of the emergency endorsed by the Governor must be included as a part of the regulation for all purposes.

(a) Providing a copy of the proposed emergency regulation to a member of the public upon request; and
(b) Making a copy of the proposed emergency regulation available on its website on the Internet, if any.
