Existing law provides that, except as otherwise provided or required by the context, “population” is defined for the entire Nevada Revised Statutes as the number of people in a specified area as determined by the last preceding national decennial census conducted by the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce pursuant to the United States Constitution and as reported by the Secretary of Commerce to the Governor of Nevada. (NRS 0.050) The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld classifications in statutes based on the population of entities if the classification is rationally related to the subject matter and purpose of the statute, applies prospectively to all such entities that might come within its designated class and does not create an odious, absurd or bizarre distinction. (County of Clark v. City of Las Vegas, 97 Nev. 260, 264 (1981)) This bill revises the classifications of populations in certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes in order to determine whether such classifications continue to meet the conditions expressed by the Nevada Supreme Court.
