County inspectors: Employment; compensation; license required; allocation of inspection fees.
1. The board of county commissioners of any county may employ one or more inspectors to assist in carrying out the provisions of NRS 587.290 to 587.450, inclusive, upon a salary or on a per diem basis, for such a period as the board and the State Quarantine Officer deem necessary, but no inspector may be so employed who is not licensed by the State Quarantine Officer, who shall direct all of the inspector’s official activities.
2. Any inspector so employed by any county shall collect all inspection fees fixed and established by the State Quarantine Officer for any inspections and certifications performed by him, and promptly forward the fees to the State Quarantine Officer. The State Quarantine Officer shall forward any portion of the fees due any federal agency to that agency. Ten percent of the inspection fees collected must be remitted to the Department for use in the plant industry program, and the balance must be reimbursed to the counties where the fees were collected.
