REVISER’S NOTE. Pursuant to the provisions of NRS 0.024 , former NAC 618.456 contained definitions that were deemed duplicative of those set forth in NRS 618.912 and was removed from chapter 618 of NAC in accordance with ch. 56, Stats. 2009, which contains the following provision not included in NRS: “Sec. 2. The Legislative Counsel shall, in preparing supplements to the Nevada Administrative Code, appropriately change, move or remove any words and terms in the Nevada Administrative Code in a manner that the Legislative Counsel determines necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of section 1 of this act [ NRS 0.024 ].”
