1. Upon receipt of notification by the Board of the Public Employees’ Benefits Program pursuant to NRS 287.0434 that a local government is delinquent by more than 90 days on an amount due to the Public Employees’ Benefits Program pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 4 of NRS 287.023, the Executive Director shall notify the governing body that the presence of a representative of the governing body is required at the next practicable scheduled meeting of the Committee to explain the reason that the payment has not been made. The notice must be transmitted to the governing body at least 5 days before the date on which the meeting will be held.

2. If an explanation satisfactory to the Committee is not provided at the meeting as requested in the notice and an arrangement is not made for the submission of the payment, the Committee may instruct the Executive Director to request that the State Treasurer withhold from the local government an amount equal to the amount of the delinquent payment from the next distribution from the Local Government Tax Distribution Account, if the local government is otherwise entitled to receive such a distribution, the local school support tax if the local government is a school district or any other property taxes, taxes on the net proceeds of minerals or grants to which the local government may otherwise be entitled as a distribution from the State. Upon receipt of such a request, the State Treasurer shall withhold that amount from the payment or any future payment as necessary until the State Treasurer is notified by the Executive Director that the delinquent payment has been received by the Department, except that the State Treasurer shall not withhold any payment necessary for the local government to make a timely payment that is due and owing to a holder. The Department shall transmit the delinquent payment to the Public Employees’ Benefits Program upon receipt.
