It has recently come to our attention the Nevada Statute NRS 179B.270 prohibits employers from using the state's Sex Offender Registry to make a hiring decision about a prospective employee. The statute reads as follows.

NRS 179B.270 Restrictions on use of information. Except as otherwise authorized pursuant to specific statute, a person shall not use information obtained from the community notification website for any purpose related to any of the following:

  1.  Insurance, including health insurance.

  3.  Credit.
  4.  Employment.
  5.  Education, scholarships or fellowships.
  6.  Housing or accommodations.
  7.  Benefits, privileges or services provided by any business establishment.
