Chapter 706 - Motor Carriers
NRS 706.1725 - Disclosure and confidentiality of records and other property of carriers subject to examination.

1. Any books, accounts, records, minutes, papers and property of any carrier that are subject to examination pursuant to NRS 706.1518 and 706.172, and are made available to the Authority, any officer or employee of the Authority, or any other person under the condition that the disclosure of such information to the public be withheld or otherwise limited, must not be disclosed to the public unless the Authority first determines that the disclosure is justified.

2. The Authority shall take such actions as are necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information, including, without limitation:

(a) Granting such protective orders as it deems necessary; and

(b) Holding closed hearings to receive or examine such information.

3. If the Authority closes a hearing to receive or examine such information, it shall:

(a) Restrict access to the records and transcripts of such hearings without the prior approval of the Authority or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction authorizing access to the records or transcripts; and

(b) Prohibit any participant at such a hearing from disclosing such information without the prior authorization of the Authority.

4. The Authority shall consider in an open meeting whether the information reviewed or examined in a closed hearing may be disclosed without revealing the confidential subject matter of the information. To the extent the Authority determines the information may be disclosed, the information must become a part of the records available to the public. Information that the Authority determines may not be disclosed must be kept under seal.
