1. If a district attorney in whose county a violation of this chapter or of chapter 462, 463B, 464 or 465 of NRS occurs fails to file a complaint or information for that offense or present it to a grand jury, within 15 days after the Commission or Board so requests in writing, the Commission or Board may recommend to the Attorney General that the Attorney General file a complaint or information or present the matter to a grand jury, as the facts may warrant, and thereafter proceed as appropriate to complete the prosecution. Upon a written recommendation to prosecute from the Commission or Board, the Attorney General may so file the matter without leave of court and has exclusive charge of the prosecution.
2. If a district attorney declines to prosecute such a violation after receiving a written request to do so from the Commission or Board, the district attorney may respond in writing to the Commission or Board within the 15-day period specified in subsection 1 and state the reasons why the district attorney declines.
