Debt Collection Program

NRS 353C.195 Authorizes the State Controller to "if requested by any state agency, act as the collection agent for that agency".  Agencies wishing to refer debt to the Controller's Office must first have an Intrastate Interlocal Contract Between Public Agencies with the Controller's Office.  If the contract is on file and "the agency determines the assignment is likely to generate more net revenue than equivalent efforts by the agency to collect the debt, "the agency may turn over the debt for collection to the Controller's Office.  The agency must also notify the debtor in writing that the debt will be turned over to the Controller's Office, who will refer the account to a private collection company.
