[edit] Opening public records

"Trying to check out a contractor in Nevada can be difficult. The law prohibits the Nevada State Contractors Board from telling the public about any pending complaints against contractors.

That means if the board is investigating complaints of a contractor running a scam, it cannot tell anyone until it takes action against the contractor, no matter how much evidence it has against him. That leaves consumers vulnerable to fraud."
