§ 228.540. National database of telephone numbers of persons requesting not to receive unsolicited telephone calls for sale of goods or services: Attorney General findings; effect on registry

1. If a federal agency establishes a single national database of telephone numbers

of persons who request not to receive unsolicited telephone calls for the sale of

goods or services, the Attorney General shall, to the extent consistent with federal

law, examine that database and the federal law relating to that database for the purposes

of NRS 228.500 to 228.640 , inclusive. Based upon this examination and his or her analysis of the applicable needs of this

State, the Attorney General may issue a finding that: (a) The part of the single national database that relates to this State is adequate

to serve as the registry for the purposes of NRS 228.500 to 228.640 , inclusive; and (b) It is in the best interests of this State for the Attorney General to use the

part of the single national database that relates to this State as the registry for

the purposes of NRS 228.500 to NRS 228.640 , inclusive. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, if the Attorney General issues the

finding described in subsection 1: (a) The part of the single national database that relates to this State shall be deemed

to be the registry for the purposes of NRS 228.500 to 228.640 , inclusive; (b) The Attorney General shall forward the applicable information in the registry

established pursuant to NRS 228.550 , if any, to the federal agency or other appropriate person who maintains the single

national database; (c) The provisions of NRS 228.550 and 228.580 do not apply; (d) The provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of subsection 1 of NRS 228.560 do not apply; and (e) The provisions of subsection 3 of NRS 228.590 do not apply. 3. Not less than biennially, the Attorney General shall reexamine the single national

database and the federal law relating to that database for the purposes of NRS 228.500 to 228.640 , inclusive. Based upon this reexamination and his or her analysis of the applicable needs of

this State, the Attorney General may rescind the finding issued pursuant to subsection

1. If the Attorney General rescinds the finding: (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d), 1 month after the Attorney General

rescinds the finding, the provisions of NRS 228.550 apply; (b) Five months after the Attorney General rescinds the finding, the provisions of NRS 228.580 apply; (c) Six months after the Attorney General rescinds the finding: (1) The provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of subsection 1 of NRS 228.560 apply; (2) The provisions of subsection 3 of NRS 228.590 apply; and (3) The part of the single national database that relates to this State shall cease

to be deemed to be the registry for the purposes of NRS 228.500 to 228.640 , inclusive; and (d) Three years after the Attorney General rescinds the finding, the provisions of

paragraph (d) of subsection 1 of NRS 228.550 apply. 4. At any time after rescinding a finding pursuant to subsection 3, the Attorney General
