584.584  Distributor may meet competitive prices in sale of butter, fresh dairy products, fluid milk or fluid cream; information to be filed with Commission.

      1.  The provisions of NRS 584.583 do not authorize the development of conditions of monopoly in production or distribution of fluid milk, fluid cream, butter, fresh dairy products or products made from fluid milk, and a distributor who meets in good faith a lawful competitive price is not subject to any penalty provided in NRS 584.325 to 584.670, inclusive, if the distributor files with the Commission information detailing the circumstances surrounding the lawful competitive price within 5 days after each occurrence. The information must include the name and address of the distributor and the customer involved, the competitive price, the effective date of the price or condition, and the name and address of the competing distributor.

      2.  If that information is accompanied by a written statement, signed by the customer before a notary public or two competent witnesses, that the competitive price has been offered or made available to the customer, the statement is prima facie evidence that a distributor is meeting the competitive price or condition in good faith.
