  v.

 

(Name of defendant)

  DEFENDANT.

 

GUILTY PLEA AGREEMENT

  I hereby agree to plead guilty to: (List charges to which defendant is pleading guilty), as more fully alleged in the charging document attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

  My decision to plead guilty is based upon the plea agreement in this case which is as follows:

  (State the terms of the agreement.)

 


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

κ2001 Statutes of Nevada, Page 37 (Chapter 10, SB 29)κ

 

CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLEA

  I understand that by pleading guilty I admit the facts which support all the elements of the offenses to which I now plead as set forth in Exhibit 1.

  I understand that as a consequence of my plea of guilty I may be imprisoned for a period of not more than (maximum term of imprisonment) and that I (may or will) be fined up to (maximum amount of fine). I understand that the law requires me to pay an administrative assessment fee.

  I understand that, if appropriate, I will be ordered to make restitution to the victim of the offenses to which I am pleading guilty and to the victim of any related offense which is being dismissed or not prosecuted pursuant to this agreement. I will also be ordered to reimburse the State of Nevada for expenses related to my extradition, if any.

  I understand that I (am or am not) eligible for probation for the offense to which I am pleading guilty. (I understand that, except as otherwise provided by statute, the question of whether I receive probation is in the discretion of the sentencing judge, or I understand that I must serve a mandatory minimum term of (term of imprisonment) or pay a minimum mandatory fine of (amount of fine) or serve a mandatory minimum term (term of imprisonment) and pay a minimum mandatory fine of (amount of fine).)

  I understand that if more than one sentence of imprisonment is imposed and I am eligible to serve the sentences concurrently, the sentencing judge has the discretion to order the sentences served concurrently or consecutively.

  I understand that information regarding charges not filed, dismissed charges or charges to be dismissed pursuant to this agreement may be considered by the judge at sentencing.

  I have not been promised or guaranteed any particular sentence by anyone. I know that my sentence is to be determined by the court within the limits prescribed by statute. I understand that if my attorney or the State of Nevada or both recommend any specific punishment to the court, the court is not obligated to accept the recommendation.

  I understand that the division of parole and probation of the department of motor vehicles and public safety may or will prepare a report for the sentencing judge before sentencing. This report will include matters relevant to the issue of sentencing, including my criminal history. I understand that this report may contain hearsay information regarding my background and criminal history. My attorney (if represented by counsel) and I will each have the opportunity to comment on the information contained in the report at the time of sentencing.

 

WAIVER OF RIGHTS

  By entering my plea of guilty, I understand that I have waived the following rights and privileges:

  1.  The constitutional privilege against self-incrimination, including the right to refuse to testify at trial, in which event the prosecution would not be allowed to comment to the jury about my refusal to testify.

  2.  The constitutional right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, free of excessive pretrial publicity prejudicial to the defense, at which trial I would be entitled to the assistance of an attorney, either appointed or retained. At trial, the state would bear the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the offense charged.


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

κ2001 Statutes of Nevada, Page 38 (Chapter 10, SB 29)κ

 

  3.  The constitutional right to confront and cross-examine any witnesses who would testify against me.

  4.  The constitutional right to subpoena witnesses to testify on my behalf.

  5.  The constitutional right to testify in my own defense.

  6.  The right to appeal the conviction, with the assistance of an attorney, either appointed or retained, unless the appeal is based upon reasonable constitutional, jurisdictional or other grounds that challenge the legality of the proceedings and except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NRS 174.035.

 

VOLUNTARINESS OF PLEA

  I have discussed the elements of all the original charges against me with my attorney (if represented by counsel) and I understand the nature of these charges against me.

  I understand that the state would have to prove each element of the charge against me at trial.

  I have discussed with my attorney (if represented by counsel) any possible defenses and circumstances which might be in my favor.

  All of the foregoing elements, consequences, rights and waiver of rights have been thoroughly explained to me by my attorney (if represented by counsel).

  I believe that pleading guilty and accepting this plea bargain is in my best interest and that a trial would be contrary to my best interest.

  I am signing this agreement voluntarily, after consultation with my attorney (if represented by counsel) and I am not acting under duress or coercion or by virtue of any promises of leniency, except for those set forth in this agreement.

  I am not now under the influence of intoxicating liquor, a controlled substance or other drug which would in any manner impair my ability to comprehend or understand this agreement or the proceedings surrounding my entry of this plea.

  My attorney (if represented by counsel) has answered all my questions regarding this guilty plea agreement and its consequences to my satisfaction and I am satisfied with the services provided by my attorney.

  2.  The executive director shall establish a base monthly allocation for each local government, special district and enterprise district by dividing the amount determined pursuant to NRS 360.680 for each local government, special district and enterprise district by 12 and the state treasurer shall, except as otherwise provided in subsections 3, 4 and 5, remit monthly that amount to each local government, special district and enterprise district.

  3.  If, after making the allocation to each enterprise district for the month, the executive director determines there is not sufficient money available in the county’s subaccount in the account to allocate to each local government and special district the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2, he shall prorate the money in the county’s subaccount and allocate to each local government and special district an amount equal to the percentage of the amount that the local government or special district received from the total amount which was distributed to all local governments and special districts within the county for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made. The state treasurer shall remit that amount to the local government or special district.

  4.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if the executive director determines that there is money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account after the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 has been allocated to each local government, special district and enterprise district, he shall immediately determine and allocate each:


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

κ2001 Statutes of Nevada, Page 71 (Chapter 10, SB 29)κ

 

  (a) Local government’s share of the remaining money by:

      (1) Multiplying one-twelfth of the amount allocated pursuant to NRS 360.680 by one plus the sum of the:

           (I) Percentage change in the population of the local government for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made, as certified by the governor pursuant to NRS 360.285 except as otherwise provided in subsection 6; and

           (II) Average percentage of change in the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the local government, [except any] including assessed valuation attributable to a redevelopment agency but excluding the portion attributable to the net proceeds of minerals, over the year in which the allocation is made, as projected by the department pursuant to NRS 361.390, and the 4 fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made; and

      (2) Using the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) to calculate and allocate to each local government an amount equal to the proportion that the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) bears to the total amount of the figures calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this paragraph and subparagraph (1) of paragraph (b), respectively, for the local governments and special districts located in the same county multiplied by the total amount available in the subaccount; and

  (b) Special district’s share of the remaining money by:

      (2) Using the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) to calculate and allocate to each special district an amount equal to the proportion that the figure calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) bears to the total amount of the figures calculated pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this paragraph and subparagraph (1) of paragraph (a), respectively, for the local governments and special districts located in the same county multiplied by the total amount available in the subaccount.

The state treasurer shall remit the amount allocated to each local government or special district pursuant to this subsection.

If the amounts distributed to the local governments and special districts in the county for the preceding months of the fiscal year in which the allocation is to be made were less than the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 and the executive director determines there is money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account after the distribution for the month has been made, he shall:


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

κ2001 Statutes of Nevada, Page 72 (Chapter 10, SB 29)κ

 

  (a) Determine the amount by which the base monthly allocations determined pursuant to subsection 2 for each local government and special district in the county for the preceding months of the fiscal year in which the allocation is to be made exceeds the amounts actually received by the local governments and special districts in the county for the same period; and

  (b) Compare the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (a) to the amount of money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account to determine which amount is greater.

If the executive director determines that the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (a) is greater, he shall allocate the money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account pursuant to the provisions of subsection 3. If the executive director determines that the amount of money remaining in the county’s subaccount in the account is greater, he shall first allocate the money necessary for each local government and special district to receive the base monthly allocation determined pursuant to subsection 2 and the state treasurer shall remit that money so allocated. The executive director shall allocate any additional money in the county’s subaccount in the account pursuant to the provisions of subsection 4.

  6.  The percentage change calculated pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 4 must:

  (a) If the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce issues population totals that conflict with the totals certified by the governor pursuant to NRS 360.285, be an estimate of the change in population for the calendar year, based upon the population totals issued by the Bureau of the Census.

  (b) If a new method of determining population is established pursuant to NRS 360.283, be adjusted in a manner that will result in the percentage change being based on population determined pursuant to the new method for both the fiscal year in which the allocation is made and the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the allocation is made.

  7.  On or before February 15 of each year, the executive director shall provide to each local government, special district and enterprise district a preliminary estimate of the revenue it will receive from the account for that fiscal year.

  8.  On or before March 15 of each year, the executive director shall:

  (b) Provide to each local government, special district and enterprise district an estimate of the amount that local government, special district or enterprise district would receive based upon the estimate made pursuant to paragraph (a) and calculated pursuant to the provisions of this section.

  9.  A local government, special district or enterprise district may use the estimate provided by the executive director pursuant to subsection 8 in the preparation of its budget.

If more than one local government, special district or enterprise district assumes the functions, the Nevada tax commission shall determine the appropriate amounts calculated pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) of paragraph (a).

  2.  If a city disincorporates, the board of county commissioners of the county in which the city is located must determine the amount the unincorporated town created by the disincorporation will receive pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360.600 to 360.740, inclusive.
