Chapter 353 - State Financial Administration
NRS 353.276 - Requests for grants and loans: Action by Interim Finance Committee; limitation.

1. The State Board of Examiners shall submit a recommendation for each request for a grant or loan made pursuant to NRS 353.2755 to the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. Upon receipt of the recommendation, the Director shall notify the Chair of the Interim Finance Committee of that recommendation. The Chair shall call a meeting of the Committee to consider the recommendation.
2. The Interim Finance Committee may reject any recommendation of the State Board of Examiners and independently evaluate and act upon any request submitted pursuant to NRS 353.2755.
3. If the Interim Finance Committee finds that a grant or loan from the Account is appropriate and may be made in accordance with the provisions of NRS 353.2705 to 353.2771, inclusive, it shall, by resolution:
(a) Establish the amount and purpose of the grant or loan.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, provide for the transfer of that amount from the Account to the appropriate state agency or local government. If the request is for a grant, the Interim Finance Committee shall authorize disbursement of the grant from the Account on the basis of reimbursement for costs unless it determines that disbursement in that manner would cause severe financial hardship to the state agency or local government. If the Interim Finance Committee determines that disbursement on the basis of reimbursement of costs would cause severe financial hardship, the Interim Finance Committee may authorize an advance of money to the state agency or local government in an amount not to exceed 25 percent of the total estimated cost of the projects for which the grant is requested.
4. No grant or loan from the Account may be made by the Interim Finance Committee to increase the salaries of any officers or employees of the State or a local government.
