Except as otherwise provided in this section and NRS 344.050 , public printing required by the various counties must be placed with a bona fide newspaper or bona fide commercial printing establishment within the county. If there is no bona fide newspaper or bona fide commercial printing establishment within the county adequately equipped to do the printing, the printing must be placed with a bona fide newspaper or bona fide commercial printing establishment in the State adequately equipped to do the printing.

If only one such newspaper or commercial printing establishment exists in the county and it fails, or has failed in the past, with regard to a specific piece of printing required by law to be printed, to perform its printing functions in accordance with the specification for the job as supplied by the governing body in any year, the specific piece of printing when required in any subsequent year may be placed with a bona fide newspaper or bona fide commercial printing establishment in the State adequately equipped to do the printing.

2. Except as otherwise authorized in subsections 4 and 5, printing required by counties must be done within the State.

As used in this subsection, “reasonable charges” means a charge not in excess of the amount necessary to be paid for similar work in other printing establishments.
