If a proceeding held pursuant to NRS 432B.410 to 432B.590, inclusive, is recorded using sound recording equipment or is transcribed, the clerk of the court shall, upon request, provide to a parent or guardian of the child who is the subject of the proceeding and the attorney of the parent or guardian a copy of the sound recording or transcript of the proceeding if: (a) Such a copy is available or could be made available; and (b) The parent or guardian or the county in which the proceeding is held, as appropriate, pays the fee for the copy in accordance with subsection 2. 2. Each board of county commissioners shall adopt a sliding scale for determining the amount to be paid for a copy of a sound recording or transcript of a proceeding pursuant to subsection 1 for a proceeding that was held in a court in its county.

The court shall review each case and make a finding as to the reasonableness of the charge in relation to the ability of the parent or guardian to pay. To the extent that the court determines that a parent or guardian is unable to pay for a copy of the recording or transcript pursuant to e in relation to the ability of the parent or guardian to pay. To the extent that the court determines that a parent or guardian is unable to pay for a copy of the recording or transcript pursuant to subsection 1, the cost of providing the copy of the sound recording or transcript is a charge against the county in which the proceeding was held.
