For the purposes of an investigation or proceeding pursuant to this chapter, the Secretary of State or any officer or employee designated by the Secretary of State by regulation, order or written direction may conduct hearings, administer oaths and affirmations, render findings of fact and conclusions of law, subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance, take evidence and require the production, by subpoena or otherwise, of books, papers, correspondence, memoranda, agreements or other documents or records which the Secretary of State or the Secretary of State's designated officer or employee determines to be relevant or material to the investigation or proceeding. A person whom the Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee does not consider to be the subject of an investigation is entitled to reimbursement at the rate of 25 cents per page for copies of documents which he or she is required by subpoena to produce. The Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee may require or permit a person to file a statement, under oath or otherwise as the Secretary of State or a designated officer or employee determines, as to the facts and circumstances concerning the matter to be investigated.2. If the activities constituting an alleged violation for which the information is sought would be a violation of this chapter had the activities occurred in this state, the Secretary of State may issue and apply to enforce subpoenas in this state at the request of an agency or Secretary of State of another state.3.

A request for an order of compliance may be addressed to: (a) The district court in and for the county where service may be obtained on the person refusing to testify or produce the documents, if the person is subject to service of process in this state; or(b) A court of another state having jurisdiction over the person refusing to testify or produce the documents, if the person is not subject to service of process in this state.Added to NRS by 2003, 2123; A 2017, 1724(Added to NRS by 2003, Ch. 374, § 4; A 2017, Ch. 314, § 41) - (Substituted in revision for NRS 398.620)
