Short Summary
This legal document, governed by the Nevada Administrative Code and NRS 458A.110, outlines the duties of the Department, Director, and Advisory Committee in ensuring the fair and equitable distribution of money in the Account for programs and services related to the prevention and treatment of problem gambling. The Department is responsible for prescribing the process for applying for grants of money or contracts for services from the Account. It also distributes the money from the Account in accordance with the provisions of the chapter and the terms of the grant or contract. Additionally, the Department is required to publish a request for applications or other accepted method of obtaining proposals or bids for programs and services every two years. It provides staff support to the Advisory Committee and prepares and submits an annual written report to the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau. The Director is responsible for preparing a notice indicating the available money in the Account and making it available to relevant entities, publishing it in newspapers, and posting it on the Department’s website. The Department is tasked with publishing the process and instructions for applying for grants or contracts from the Account, conducting technical reviews of applications, and scoring them using a weighted scoring matrix approved by the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee reviews and approves the scoring matrix, as well as reviews all applications and makes recommendations for the Director’s consideration in a public meeting. To be eligible for a grant of money or a contract for services from the Account, a program or service must meet certain criteria related to problem gambling counseling, workforce development and training, research and evaluation, public education, data collection and reporting, or technical assistance. When determining whether to award a grant or contract, the Director considers factors such as the program’s alignment with the Department’s needs and priorities, the criteria established by the Advisory Committee, the qualifications and experience of the applicant, and the ability to achieve proposed outcomes within the available funding. Grantees and contractors are required to submit progress reports and financial status reports on a quarterly basis. The Department establishes systems for reporting progress and financial status for each grant or contract. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in this document.
