Criminal exposure note

Knowingly and willfully engaging in this deceptive trade practice is a misdemeanor under NRS 598.0999(3)(e), because NRS 228.620 deems a violation a deceptive trade practice for the purposes of NRS 598.0903 to 598.0999, inclusive.

Who enforces it

Enforcement body

The Attorney General may institute a civil proceeding under NRS 228.610; a violation is deemed a deceptive trade practice for the purposes of the Attorney General's enforcement powers under NRS 598.0903 to 598.0999, but this chapter names no private civil action.

A telephone solicitor may not intentionally make an unsolicited telephone call for the sale of goods or services to a number on the currently effective version of the list of telephone numbers in the Attorney General's telephone solicitation registry, which may be the part of the national do-not-call database that relates to Nevada.

An unsolicited telephone call for the sale of goods or services covers a call to rent, lease, sell, exchange, promote or gift a good or service, to seek a donation, or to gather information for either, but not a call on behalf of a charitable, religious or political organization.

The prohibition does not reach a solicitor with a preexisting business relationship with the person called, meaning a purchase or other financial transaction directly with the solicitor, not an affiliate, within the preceding 18 months, if the solicitor keeps an internal do-not-call registry and sends each such customer an annual written notice explaining how to join it.

A violation is deemed a deceptive trade practice for the purposes of the Attorney General's enforcement powers under NRS 598.0903 to 598.0999, and the Attorney General may bring proceedings against a violator.
