Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 463A.140 — Hearing: Contempt, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 463A.140. Hearing: Contempt
If any person in proceedings before the Commission disobeys or resists any lawful
order or refuses to respond to a subpoena, or refuses to take the oath or affirmation
as a witness or thereafter refuses to be examined, or is guilty of misconduct during
the hearing or so near the place thereof as to obstruct the proceeding, the Commission
may certify the facts to the district court in and for the county where the proceedings
are held. The court shall thereupon issue an order directing the person to appear before the
court and show cause why the person should not be punished as for contempt. The court order and a copy of the statement of the Commission shall be served on the
person cited to appear. Thereafter the court has jurisdiction of the matter, and the same proceedings shall
be had, the same penalties may be imposed and the person charged may purge the contempt
in the same way as in the case of a person who has committed a contempt in the trial
of a civil action before a district court.
