NRS 274.120 - Administrator: Adoption of regulations exempting certain businesses from state regulations.


1. No later than January 1, 1985, and from time to time as necessary, the Administrator shall, except as provided in NRS 274.140, adopt regulations exempting businesses within specially benefited zones from those state regulations contained in the list published pursuant to NRS 274.110, for which the Administrator finds that incentives for the creation of jobs or for business development within specially benefited zones engendered by the exemption outweigh the need and justification for the regulation. In making such findings, the Administrator shall consider all information, data and opinions submitted by the public and the state agencies, and any other information otherwise available. These regulations must be in the form of amendments to the existing state regulations to be affected, and are subject to the provisions of chapter 233B of NRS.
2. Upon its effective date, any regulation of the Administrator adopted under subsection 1 supersedes the exempted state regulation in accordance with the terms of the exemption. An exemption applies only to businesses within specially benefited zones during the effective term of the respective zones. State agencies may not adopt emergency regulations to circumvent an exemption granted by the Administrator. Any such emergency regulation is not effective within the specially benefited zones to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of the exemption.
