NRS463.168. Suitability of certain persons providing transmission services in association with licensee; termination of association.

      1.  The Commission, upon recommendation by the Board, may require a natural person or an entity providing services in connection with the transmission of live broadcasts to file an application for a finding of suitability.

      2.  If the Commission determines that the person or entity is unsuitable to provide transmission services, any association or agreement between the provider and a licensee must be terminated, unless otherwise provided by the Commission.

      3.  An agreement between such a person or entity and a licensee shall be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the licensee upon a finding by the Commission that the provider is unsuitable to be associated with a licensee. Failure to include that condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action brought concerning the termination of an agreement pursuant to this section.

      4.  If an application for a finding of suitability is not submitted to the Board within 30 days after the Commission so requests, the Commission may pursue any remedy or combination of remedies provided in this chapter.

      5.  Failure of a licensee to terminate any association or agreement with a person or entity providing services in connection with the transmission of live broadcasts after receiving notice of a determination of unsuitability, or the failure of the provider to file a timely application for a finding of suitability, is an unsuitable method of operation.
