1. If the district attorney fails to attend any session of the district court, or for any reason is disqualified from acting in any matter coming before the court, the court may appoint some other person to perform the duties of the district attorney, who is entitled to receive the same compensation and expenses from the county as provided in NRS 7.125 and 7.135 for an attorney who is appointed to represent a person charged with a crime.

2. If the district attorney willfully neglects to attend any session of the district court the amount so paid must be deducted by the board of county commissioners from the salary allowed to the district attorney.
