1. If a provider of Internet service knows or has reasonable cause to believe that a subscriber resides within this State, the provider shall make available to the subscriber a product or service which enables the subscriber to regulate a child’s use of the Internet service provided to the subscriber if such a product or service is reasonably and commercially available for the technology utilized by the subscriber to access the Internet service.

(b) Block access to specific websites or domains disapproved by the subscriber;
(c) Restrict access exclusively to specific websites or domains approved by the subscriber; and
(d) Allow the subscriber to monitor a child’s use of the Internet service by providing a report to the subscriber of the specific websites or domains that the child has visited or has attempted to visit but could not access because the websites or domains were blocked or restricted by the subscriber.
2. For the purposes of subsection 1, a provider of Internet service shall be deemed to know that a subscriber resides within this State if the subscriber identifies Nevada as his or her place of residence at the time of subscription.
3. If a product or service described in subsection 1 is reasonably and commercially available for the technology utilized by the subscriber to access the Internet service, the provider of Internet service:
(a) Shall provide to the subscriber, at the time of subscription, notice of the availability of the product or service described in subsection 1. The notice must be provided to the subscriber by electronic mail or in a written form through another reasonable means.
(b) May make the product or service described in subsection 1 available to the subscriber either directly or through a third-party vendor. The provider or third-party vendor may charge the subscriber a fee for the product or service.
