1. In preparing a tentative budget, the governing body of a local government, except a school district, which determines that the amount of revenue to be received from taxes ad valorem during the ensuing fiscal year will be reduced because one or more lessees or users of property which is taxable pursuant to NRS 361.157 or 361.159 will be delinquent in paying the tax, may, upon approval by the Executive Director of the Department of Taxation, reduce the estimate of revenue from taxes ad valorem by the amount of the tax expected to be delinquent.

2. In adopting a final budget, the governing body of a local government, except a school district, shall reduce the estimate of revenue from taxes ad valorem by the amount determined pursuant to subsection 1, unless the governing body has determined since the preparation of the tentative budget that some or all of the tax expected to be delinquent will be paid. The governing body shall increase the estimate of revenue from taxes ad valorem by the amount of tax no longer expected to be delinquent, if any.

3. The provisions of this section do not affect the calculation of the limitation upon revenue from taxes ad valorem pursuant to NRS 354.59811 or any estimate of assessed valuation used to distribute revenue among local governments or determine the debt limit of the State, a local government or a school district.
