Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. The Board may hold hearings and conduct investigations pertaining to its duties imposed under this chapter and take evidence on any such matter under inquiry before the Board. For the purposes of this chapter:

(a) Any member of the Board or other person authorized by law may administer oaths; and

(b) The Secretary-Treasurer or President of the Board or a hearing officer or the presiding member of a committee investigating a complaint, but not the Executive Director acting on his or her own behalf, may issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, X-rays, medical records and any other item within the scope of Rule 45 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure. The Secretary-Treasurer, President or other officer of the Board acting on its behalf or the Executive Director must sign the subpoena.

2. If any person fails to comply with the subpoena, the Secretary-Treasurer, Executive Director or President of the Board may petition the district court for an order of the court compelling compliance with the subpoena.

3. Upon such a petition, the court shall enter an order directing the person subpoenaed to appear before the court at a time and place to be fixed by the court in its order, the time to be not more than 10 days after the date of the order, and then and there show cause why the person has not complied with the subpoena. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the person subpoenaed.

4. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued by the Board, the court shall enter an order compelling compliance with the subpoena, and upon failure to obey the order the person shall be dealt with as for contempt of court.
