BACKGROUND:
On September 21, 2021, the Board approved an Interlocal with the UNLV to provide funding to the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law Immigration Clinic, to assist with immigration defense services for children and detained adults. The Nevada Legislature, through AB 376 (2021), appropriated State of Nevada funds for the purpose of providing pro bono legal services relating to immigration law. The County matched that appropriation.
This interlocal provided that the County will provide an amount up to $250,000 from gross revenue fees relating to marijuana licenses imposed by the Clark County Code to the Immigration Clinic during the fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23 (for a total of up to $500,00) to be solely used for legal services for immigration defense of children and detained adults. The agreement also requires that UNLV provide a quarterly report documenting the expenditure of funds.
On November 7, 2023, the Board approved the first amendment to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2024.
This amendment will increase the allocation of marijuana license revenue by $250,000 (for a total of up to $750,000) and will extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2025.
The District Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the First Amendment to the interlocal agreement as to form.
