1. Except as limited in subsection 3, any employee who has been hired outside of this State and his or her employer are exempted from the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, and chapter 617 of NRS while the employee is temporarily within this State doing work for the employer if the employer has furnished industrial insurance pursuant to the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act or similar laws of a state other than Nevada so as to cover the employee’s employment while in this State if:
(a) The extraterritorial provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, and chapter 617 of NRS are recognized in the other state; and
(b) Employers and employees who are covered in this State are likewise exempted from the application of the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act or similar laws of the other state.
The benefits provided in the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act or similar laws of the other state are the exclusive remedy against the employer for any injury, whether resulting in death or not, received by the employee while working for the employer in this State.
2. A certificate from the Administrator or similar officer of another state certifying that the employer of the other state is insured therein and has provided extraterritorial coverage insuring employees of the employer while working within this State is prima facie evidence that the employer carried the industrial insurance.
3. The exemption provided for in this section does not apply to the employees of a contractor, as defined in NRS 624.020, operating within the scope of the license of the contractor.
4. An employer is not required to maintain coverage for industrial insurance in this State for an employee who has been hired or is regularly employed in this State, but who is performing work exclusively in another state, if the other state requires the employer to provide coverage for the employee in the other state. If the employee receives personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his or her employment, any claim for compensation must be filed in the state in which the accident occurred, and such compensation is the exclusive remedy of the employee or the dependents of the employee. This subsection does not prevent an employer from maintaining coverage for the employee pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, and chapter 617 of NRS.
