NCPE at NV Legislature - 2007 Proposals
NCPE 2007 Ethics Legislation Proposals
2. NRS 281.501: Editorial Revision :
Rationale:
At NRS 281.501, #2 is about what to do after disclosing (as at our proposal #8 above), but then 281.501, #3 is about disclosing. It makes more sense to put disclosure first, and follow that with what to do after disclosure.
