1. If a person who has been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury informs the district attorney that the person intends to refuse to testify and to assert the person’s constitutional privilege against self-incrimination, the district attorney shall: (a) Move for an order of immunity pursuant to NRS 178.572; (b) Challenge the existence of a valid privilege by filing in any court of record a motion to compel the testimony of the person; or (c) Withdraw the subpoena. 2. All proceedings which are held on a motion filed pursuant to subsection 1 must be closed. 3. If the existence of the privilege is challenged, the court shall hear the evidence of both parties and determine whether or not a valid privilege exists and to which matters, if any, it extends. 4. The district attorney shall not call a person to testify before a grand jury regarding matters which have been so determined to be within the person’s constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. (Added to NRS by 1985, 554)
