items on which action may be taken are heard by the public body and again
before the adjournment of the meeting; or

may be taken is discussed by the public body, but before the public body takes
action on the item.
2. Regardless of whether a public body
takes comments from the general public pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of
subsection 1, the public body must allow the general public to comment on any
matter that is not specifically included on the agenda as an action item at
some time before adjournment of the meeting. No action may be taken upon a
matter raised during a period devoted to comments by the general public until

which action may be taken pursuant to subparagraph (2) of paragraph (d) of
subsection 3 of NRS 241.020 .
3. The provisions of subsections 1 and 2
do not prohibit a public body from taking comments by the general public in
addition to what is required pursuant to subsection 1 or 2.

the continuation of the meeting of a public body to one or more other calendar
days, the public body must have a period devoted to comments by the general
public:
(a) At the beginning of each day that the meeting
is held before any item on which action may be taken is heard by the public
body and again before the meeting recesses for the day or the adjournment of
the meeting; or

may be taken is discussed by the public body, but before the public body takes
action on the item.
