3. A board of county commissioners must not cause or allow any portion of the Complete Streets Fund created pursuant to NRS 244.2645 to be used for a purpose other than those set forth in this section.
4. As used in this section, “Complete Streets Program” means a program for the retrofitting of roads that are under the jurisdiction of the board of county commissioners for the primary purpose of adding or significantly repairing facilities which provide road access considering all users of all ages and abilities, including, without limitation, pedestrians, bicycle riders, movers of commercial goods, persons with disabilities, vehicles for public transportation and their passengers, older adults, children and motorists.
