1. The Department shall create and maintain on its Internet website and otherwise make available for public inspection a directory that lists, except as otherwise provided in NRS 370.600 to 370.705, inclusive, all manufacturers of tobacco products that have provided current and accurate certifications conforming to the requirements of NRS 370.600 to 370.705, inclusive, and all brand families and styles of cigarettes that are listed in those certifications. The Department:

(a) Shall not include or retain in the directory the name or brand families of any nonparticipating manufacturer that has failed to provide the required certification or whose certification the Department determines is not in compliance with NRS 370.600 to 370.705, inclusive, unless the Department has determined that the violation has been cured to its satisfaction.

(b) Shall not include or retain in the directory a manufacturer of tobacco products or brand family if the Department concludes, for a nonparticipating manufacturer, that:

(1) Any escrow payment required pursuant to chapter 370A of NRS for any period for any brand family, whether or not listed by the nonparticipating manufacturer, has not been fully paid into a qualified escrow fund governed by a qualified escrow agreement which has been approved by the Attorney General; or

(2) Any outstanding final judgment, including any interest thereon, for a violation of chapter 370A of NRS has not been fully satisfied for that manufacturer or brand family.

2. The Department shall update the directory as necessary to correct mistakes and to add or remove a manufacturer of tobacco products, brand family or style of cigarettes to keep the directory in conformity with the requirements of NRS 370.600 to 370.705, inclusive.

3. Any determination of the Department not to include in or to remove from the directory a manufacturer of tobacco products, brand family or style of cigarettes is a final decision for the purposes of judicial review.
