3: What publications should we send? What publications should we not send?
The Nevada statute offers three tests for determining if your publication fits the parameters of a state publication:
-
Is it produced pursuant to the authority of or at the total or partial expense of a state agency or local government?
-
Is it required by law to be distributed by a state agency or local government?
-
Is it distributed publicly by a state agency or local government outside that state agency or local government?
