NAC445B.471. Test station: Advertising; provision by Department of certain informational material for public.

     1. A test station shall not intentionally publish, display or circulate any advertising which is misleading or inaccurate in any material manner or misrepresent any of the services rendered to the public.

     2. A test station shall not deceive a member of the public by misrepresenting the cost for any service rendered. Any advertisement, promotional material or coupon published by or on behalf of a test station that contains any reference to price or waiver of charges must clearly set forth the total dollar amount to be paid by the customer in print that is comparable in size and style to all other print in the advertisement, promotional material or coupon where price or waiver of charges is discussed. If a test station offers any service for no charge, it must specify, in print that is comparable in size and style and is located immediately adjacent to the print which states there is no charge, whether any costs will be incurred by the customer and for what reason. A test station may not use abbreviations of terms peculiar to the emissions industry in its advertising. The Department will consider advertising to be deceptive if an ordinary and reasonable customer with no experience in the control of emissions could not understand the advertisement.

     3. The Department will provide a pamphlet for distribution to the general public, and may also provide informational material available by electronic media, which will explain the reasons and methods for the emission control inspection.
