Homes in southern and northern Nevada whose room rates are not in statute: the Director recommends a schedule each April and the State Board of Examiners sets it, and is not bound by the recommendation. Each home has a licensed nursing facility administrator, and gift accounts fed by donated tax exemptions sit alongside the operating account.
Admission criteria are in departmental rules and policies, not in the statute. NRS 417.147, subsection 1(b) directs the Director to establish and implement rules, policies and procedures for management, maintenance and operation. The section states no service, discharge, disability or residency test for admission.
A Guard member injured on state active duty is covered by the state workers’ compensation act rather than by a separate military scheme. The chapter also gives immunity for acts within lawful orders, privilege from arrest on civil process while under orders, and treats a member as a New Hampshire resident for state benefits regardless of where they live.
A National Guard member serving on state active duty, in or out of the state. RSA 110-B:66, I. The provision covers a member who sustains an injury or personal injury as defined in RSA 281-A while serving on state active duty, within or without the state.
