Nevada Revised Statutes Title 58. Energy; Public Utilities and Similar Entities § 703.370. Enforcement of subpoenas issued by Commission

1. The district court for the county in which any investigation or hearing is being conducted by the Commission pursuant to the provisions of this title may compel the attendance of witnesses, the giving of testimony and the production of books and papers as required by any subpoena issued by the Commission.

2. If any witness refuses to attend or testify or produce any papers required by a subpoena the Commission may report to the district court for the county in which the investigation or hearing is pending by petition, setting forth:

and asking an order of the court compelling the witness to attend and testify or produce the books or papers before the Commission.

3. The court, upon petition of the Commission, shall enter an order directing the witness to appear before the court at a time and place to be fixed by the court in its order, not more than 10 days from the date of the order, and show cause why the witness has not attended or testified or produced the books or papers before the Commission. A certified copy of the order must be served upon the witness. If it appears to the court that the subpoena was regularly issued by the Commission, the court shall thereupon enter an order that the witness appear before the Commission at the time and place fixed in the order and testify or produce the required books or papers, and upon failure to obey the order the witness must be dealt with as if in contempt of court.
