In a county whose population is less than 100,000 and for all or part of which a streets and highways plan has been adopted as a part of the master plan by the county or regional planning commission pursuant to NRS 278.150, the board may by ordinance impose a tax on special fuel that consists of diesel fuel sold in the county in an amount not to exceed 5 cents per gallon.

2.

A board may not adopt an ordinance authorized by this section unless:

(a)

The ordinance is approved by at least a two-thirds majority of the members of the board; or

(b)

A question concerning the imposition of the tax pursuant to this section is first approved by a majority of the registered voters of the county voting upon the question, which the board may submit to the voters at any general election. The Committee on Local Government Finance shall annually provide to each city clerk, county clerk and district attorney in a county whose population is less than 100,000 forms for submitting a question to the registered voters of a county pursuant to this paragraph. Any question submitted to the registered voters of a county pursuant to this paragraph must be in the form most recently provided by the Committee on Local Government Finance.

3.

A tax imposed pursuant to this section is in addition to other special fuel taxes imposed pursuant to the provisions of chapters 366 and 445C of NRS.

4.

If an ordinance adopted pursuant to this section imposes the tax in an amount that is less than 5 cents per gallon, any increase in the amount of the tax must be approved in the manner set forth in subsection 2. Any such increase must not cause the amount of the tax authorized by this section to exceed 5 cents per gallon.

5.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, any ordinance enacted pursuant to this section must provide that the tax authorized by this section, or any change in the amount of the tax, will become effective on the first day of the second calendar month following enactment of the ordinance imposing, or changing the amount of, the tax. An ordinance adopted pursuant to this section to impose the tax authorized by this section may not become effective earlier than January 1, 2020.

6.

Any tax imposed pursuant to the provisions of this section does not apply to any sales or uses described in NRS 366.200, except to any sales or uses described in subsection 1 of that section of any diesel fuel to which dye has not been added pursuant to federal law or the law of this State, of a type which is lawfully sold in this State both:
