If the presiding officer determines that a standard pursuant to NRS 50.580 has been met, the presiding officer shall determine whether to allow a child witness to testify by an alternative method. In making this determination, the presiding officer shall consider: 1. Alternative methods reasonably available; 2. Available means for protecting the interests of or reducing emotional trauma to the child without resorting to an alternative method; 3. The nature of the case; 4. The relative rights of the parties; 5. The importance of the proposed testimony of the child; 6. The nature and degree of emotional trauma that the child may suffer if an alternative method is not used; and 7. Any other relevant factor. (Added to NRS by 2003, 989)
