(a) Pay its share of the annual assessment levied pursuant to NRS 704.033 to the Commission and the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of the Attorney General;

(b) Pay any other tax, fee or assessment that would be due a governmental entity had the eligible customer continued to purchase energy, capacity or ancillary services from the electric utility; and

2. Each person or entity that is responsible for billing an eligible customer shall ensure that the amount which the eligible customer must pay pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 is set forth as a separate item or entry on each bill submitted to the eligible customer.

3. If an eligible customer to whom an order is issued pursuant to subsection 1 thereafter purchases energy, capacity or ancillary services from an alternative provider pursuant to NRS 704B.325 without obtaining the approval of the Commission, the order issued pursuant to subsection 1 continues to apply to the eligible customer.

Upon petition by a governmental entity to which a tax, fee or assessment must be remitted pursuant to this section, the Commission may limit, suspend or revoke any order issued to an eligible customer by the Commission pursuant to NRS 704B.310 and 704B.320 if the Commission, after providing an appropriate notice and hearing, determines that the eligible customer has failed to pay the tax, fee or assessment.
