Nev. Admin. Code § 284.375 - Appointing authority prohibited from appointing related persons under certain circumstances; exceptions

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 and NRS 281.210, an appointing authority shall not appoint a person to a position in the classified service on or after:

(a) October 1, 1996, if, upon his or her appointment, the person will be in the direct line of authority of:

(1) A spouse, child, parent or sibling of the person;

(2) The spouse of a child, parent or sibling of the person; or

(3) An aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparent, grandchild or first cousin of the person.

(b) September 6, 2001, if, upon his or her appointment, the person will be in the direct line of authority of a person with whom he or she is in a dating relationship.

2. An appointing authority may adopt a written policy authorizing the appointment of persons to a position or class of positions that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of subsection 1 if the appointing authority determines that, for the positions for which the policy applies, the enforcement of the provisions of subsection 1 will be impracticable and cause an undue hardship to the appointing authority. In making this determination, the appointing authority may consider, among other factors, the difficulty in recruiting applicants for the positions for which the policy applies.

3. A written policy adopted pursuant to subsection 2:

(a) Must comply with the provisions of NRS 281.210; and

(b) Is effective upon approval by the Commission.
