The three Nevada State Commissioners, acting jointly: 1. Shall: (a) Choose from among Nevada residents who apply for a program administered by the

Nevada Office, and have at least 1 year's residence in this state immediately before

applying for the program, those most qualified to participate in a program administered

by the Nevada Office. (b) Compile a list of Nevada applicants for programs administered by the office of

the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education established pursuant to Article

7 of the Compact and transmit the list to that office. 2. May enter into any reciprocity agreement, including, without limitation, the State

Authorization Reciprocity Agreement as implemented by the Western Interstate Commission

for Higher Education, for the purpose of authorizing a postsecondary educational institution

that is located in another state or territory of the United States to provide distance

education to residents of this State if the requirements contained in the agreement

for authorizing a postsecondary educational institution that is located in another

state or territory of the United States to provide distance education to residents

of this State are substantially similar to the requirements for licensure of a postsecondary

educational institution by the Commission on Postsecondary Education pursuant to NRS 394.383 to 394.560 , inclusive. As used in this subsection, “postsecondary educational institution” has the meaning

ascribed to it in NRS 394.099 .
