Under the Unemployment Compensation Law: (1) with certain exceptions, employers and employing units that employ one or more persons are required to pay contributions into the Unemployment Compensation Fund at a certain rate of the wages paid by the employer for employment; and (2) persons who have become unemployed and comply with certain requirements are eligible for benefits from the Unemployment Compensation Fund in an amount based on the person's previous wages for employment. (Chapter 612 of NRS) Existing law authorizes certain employers to elect to reimburse the Unemployment Compensation Fund for benefits paid to their former employees rather than making quarterly contributions to the Unemployment Compensation Fund. (NRS 612.553) Sections 3.3-3.7 of this bill authorize an employer or employing unit that employs only one person who owns the organization, trade or business of the employer or employing unit or employer or employing unit that employs not more than two persons who share a familial relationship within the first degree of consanguinity who own the organization, trade or business of the employer or employing unit to make such an election. Existing law requires a person who applies for a state business license or the renewal of a state business license to pay a fee of $200 or, for certain corporations, $500. (NRS 76.100, 76.130) Section 6 of this bill exempts certain persons from paying a fee for an initial application for a state business license and the first renewal of the state business license if the person: (1) does not qualify for certain existing tax abatements and partial tax abatements; or (2) attests that the business will employ a certain number of full-time employees in the county or city of the place of business by the eighth calendar quarter after the initial application fee is waived or will make a certain amount of capital investment in the State not later than 2 years after the initial application fee is waived. Upon the second renewal of a state business license, section 6 requires the Secretary of State to review the records of the business to verify that the business met such criteria and if the business did not, require the person to pay the fees that were waived. Sections 7 and 8 of this bill provide that the exemption provided in section 6 is an exception to the requirement to pay a fee for an application and renewal of a state business license. Existing law requires a land use authority with jurisdiction over an application to construct a facility for personal wireless service to establish procedures and standards for the review and approval of such an application. (NRS 707.575) Section 10 of this bill establishes requirements relating to the review of an application to modify a facility for personal wireless service by a land use authority with jurisdiction over the application. Section 11 of this bill applies certain existing definitions relating to facilities for personal wireless service to section 10. Section 12 of this bill requires that a denial of an application to modify a facility for personal wireless service be in writing.
