Nevada Revised Statutes Title 39. Mental Health § 435.520. Expenses of returning consumer to legal residence

1. All expenses incurred for the purpose of returning a consumer to the state in which the consumer has a legal residence shall be paid from the moneys of the consumer or by the relatives or other persons responsible for the consumer's care and treatment under his or her commitment or admission.

2. In the case of indigent consumers whose relatives cannot pay the costs and expenses of returning such consumers to the state in which they have residence, the costs may be assumed by the State. These costs must be advanced from moneys appropriated for the general support of the division facility wherein the consumer was receiving care, treatment or training, if such consumer was committed to a division facility at the time of the transfer, and must be paid out on claims as other claims against the State are paid.
