Nevada regulates telephone solicitation through several statutes. A telephone solicitor may not intentionally call a number on the state do-not-call registry (NRS 228.590), unless the person expressly requested or permitted the call or has a preexisting business relationship. Calls using an automatic dialing and announcing device must open with a natural voice stating the nature of the call and the caller's name, address and telephone number, and may not reach Nevada phones between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. Nevada's deceptive trade practice rules also cover abusive or late-night solicitation by telephone or text message and caller-ID blocking.
Nevada sets no consent requirement of its own. Enforcement is mainly public: ADAD violations carry a civil penalty of up to $10,000 each, and do-not-call and ADAD violations are deceptive trade practices. Private recovery is limited to actual damages, for example by elderly or disabled people harmed by an unlawful telephone solicitation (NRS 599B.300).
