When posted, the agency must include notice that the regulation that is posted on the Internet website of the agency 3 working days before the hearing will be the regulation considered. The agency shall ensure that the regulation to be considered at the hearing is posted on the Internet website of the agency 3 working days before the hearing.

             (2) If it is the second or subsequent hearing on the regulation, including, without limitation, a subsequent hearing on an adopted regulation that has not been approved by the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations pursuant to NRS 233B.067, in order to approve a revision to the regulation, give at least 3 working days’ notice of its intended action.

      (b) A temporary regulation, the agency must give at least 30 days’ notice of its intended action, unless a shorter period of notice is specifically permitted by statute.

      2.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, if an agency has adopted a temporary regulation after notice and the opportunity for a hearing as provided in this chapter, it may adopt, after providing a second notice and the opportunity for a hearing, a permanent regulation, but the language of the permanent regulation must first be approved or revised by the Legislative Counsel and the adopted regulation must be approved by the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations appointed pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 233B.067.

      3.  If the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada has adopted a temporary regulation after notice and the opportunity for a hearing as provided in this chapter, it may adopt a substantively equivalent permanent regulation without further notice or hearing, but the language of the permanent regulation must first be approved or revised by the Legislative Counsel and the adopted regulation must be approved by the Legislative Commission or the Subcommittee to Review Regulations.
