Existing law enacts the Nevada Administrative Procedure Act, which establishes procedural requirements for the adoption of regulations and adjudication of contested cases by certain agencies of the Executive Department of the State Government. (Chapter 233B of NRS) With certain exceptions, existing law exempts the Department of Corrections from the requirements prescribed by the Act. (NRS 233B.039) Section 1 of this bill revises this exemption and makes the Department of Corrections subject to the Act for the purpose of adopting regulations relating to fiscal policy, correspondence with inmates and visitation with inmates of the Department. Section 4 of this bill provides that the regulations currently adopted by the Department remain in effect until replaced by new regulations adopted by the Department in accordance with the Act.
