Section 656.430 - Informal complaint: Review and investigation; production and copying of records and other evidence1. After reviewing the informal complaint and the responses filed pursuant to NAC 656.420, the staff of the Board may:(a) Investigate each allegation set forth in the informal complaint;(b) Consult with a person who is an expert in an appropriate field, including, without limitation, employing such a person for the purpose of an investigation or hearing;(c) Investigate any new information discovered or allegation made during the course of the investigation; and (d) Take any other reasonable action required to conduct or further the investigation, including, without limitation, employing or enlisting the aid of any qualified person.2. During an investigation of an informal complaint, the staff of the Board or any investigator employed by the staff may demand that the respondent produce records or other evidence for inspection or copying, with or without a subpoena. A respondent shall not deny any such demand for records or other evidence if the record or evidence is not confidential as provided by law. If a respondent is a person described in paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection 1 of NAC 656.420 and the person refuses or fails to cooperate with a request for records in violation of this section, the Board may refer the matter to the Office of the Attorney General for further action including, without limitation, possible prosecution. If any respondent continues to refuse or fails to comply with a request for records or other evidence in violation of this section, the Board may take such further action against the respondent as the Board determines necessary.3. If the staff of the Board or any investigator employed by the staff determines that a record or other evidence is required for an investigation, the staff or investigator may copy the record or evidence. If the record or other evidence can be readily copied at the location of the record or evidence, the respondent shall copy the record or evidence and submit the copy to the staff or investigator at that location. If a record or other evidence cannot be readily copied at the location of the record or evidence, the respondent shall copy the record or evidence and submit the copy to the staff or investigator within 10 business days after the staff or investigator requests the record or evidence.Nev.
