1. On or before January 15 of each year, the Administrator shall prepare and furnish to the Council a report that shows all debts owed to the Division that became or remained delinquent during the preceding year. The Administrator shall include in the report the amount of any delinquent debt that the Division determines is impossible or impractical to collect.

2. For any amount of debt the Division determines is impossible or impractical to collect, the Council shall request the State Board of Examiners to designate such amount as a bad debt. The State Board of Examiners, by an affirmative vote of the majority of the members of the Board, may designate the debt as bad debt if the Board is satisfied that the collection of the debt is impossible or impractical. If the amount of the debt is not more than $50, the State Board of Examiners may delegate to its Clerk the authority to designate the debt as a bad debt. The Council may appeal to the State Board of Examiners a denial by the Clerk of a request to designate a debt as a bad debt.

3. Upon the designation of a debt as a bad debt pursuant to this section, the State Board of Examiners or its Clerk shall immediately notify the State Controller thereof. Upon receiving the notification, the State Controller shall direct the removal of the bad debt from the books of account of the State of Nevada. A bad debt that is removed pursuant to this section remains a legal and binding obligation owed by the debtor to the State of Nevada.

4. The State Controller shall keep a master file of all debts that are designated as bad debts pursuant to this section. For each such debt, the State Controller shall record the name of the debtor, the amount of the debt, the date on which the debt was incurred and the date on which it was removed from the records and books of account of the State of Nevada, and any other information concerning the debt that the State Controller determines is necessary.
