1. If a district attorney in whose county a violation of this chapter or of chapter 462, 463B, 464 or 465 of NRS occurs fails to file a complaint or information for that offense or present it to a grand jury, within 15 days after the Commission or Board so requests in writing, the Commission or Board may recommend to the Attorney General that the Attorney General file a complaint or information or present the matter to a grand jury, as the facts may warrant, and thereafter proceed as appropriate to complete the prosecution.
