1. After the Board has approved a real-time, stop sale system pursuant to NRS 639.430 and adopted regulations establishing the requirements for the use of the system pursuant to that section, the Board must notify each pharmacy in this State of the real-time, stop sale system that has been approved, the manner in which to establish the system in the pharmacy and the content of the regulations.
2. Once a pharmacy receives notification pursuant to subsection 1, the pharmacy shall obtain the real-time, stop sale system and consult the system in the manner prescribed before completing any sale or transfer of a product that is a precursor to methamphetamine, except when the purchaser has a valid prescription for such a product. The pharmacy shall obtain any information necessary from the person seeking the purchase or transfer of the product to receive notice from the real-time, stop sale system.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a pharmacy receives an alert from the real-time, stop sale system that the sale or transfer of a product may violate NRS 453.355 or any other law which prohibits the sale or transfer of a product that is a precursor to methamphetamine, the pharmacy must not allow the sale or transfer to be completed. The Board shall provide by regulation for exceptions to allow for the completion of a sale or transfer:
(a) Despite such an alert if the pharmacist or an employee of the pharmacy has a reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm.
(b) If a pharmacy experiences a mechanical or electronic failure of the real-time, stop sale system.
4. A pharmacy that complies with the provisions of this section is not liable in any civil action for using the real-time, stop sale system or for any act or omission resulting from the use of the system which is not the result of the negligence, recklessness or deliberate misconduct of the pharmacy.
5. Failure of a person to use the real-time, stop sale system as required pursuant to this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000.
