  1. A guardian shall not restrict the right of a protected person to communicate, visit or interact with a relative or person of natural affection, including, without limitation, by telephone, mail or electronic communication, unless:  (a) The protected person expresses to the guardian and at least one other independent witness who is not affiliated with or related to the guardian or the protected person that the protected person does not wish to communicate, visit or interact with the relative or person of natural affection;  (b) There is currently an investigation of the relative or person of natural affection by law enforcement or a court proceeding concerning the alleged abuse of the protected person and the guardian determines that it is in the best interests of the protected person to restrict the communication, visitation or interaction between the protected person and the relative or person of natural affection because of such an investigation or court proceeding;   (c) The restriction on the communication, visitation or interaction with the relative or person of natural affection is authorized by a court order;  (d) Subject to the provisions of subsection 2, the guardian determines that the protected person is being physically, emotionally or mentally harmed by the relative or person of natural affection; or  (e) Subject to the provisions of subsection 3, a determination is made that, as a result of the findings in a plan for the care or treatment of the protected person, visitation, communication or interaction between the protected person and the relative or person of natural affection is detrimental to the health and well-being of the protected person.  2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a guardian restricts communication, visitation or interaction between a protected person and a relative or person of natural affection pursuant to paragraph (d) of subsection 1, the guardian shall file a petition pursuant to NRS 159.333 not later than 10 days after restricting such communication, visitation or interaction. A guardian is not required to file such a petition if the relative or person of natural affection is the subject of an investigation or court proceeding pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 or a pending petition filed pursuant to NRS 159.333.  3. A guardian may consent to restricting the communication, visitation or interaction between a protected person and a relative or person of natural affection pursuant to paragraph (e) of subsection 1 if the guardian determines that such a restriction is in the best interests of the protected person. If a guardian makes such a determination, the guardian shall file a notice with the court that specifies the restriction on communication, visitation or interaction not later than 10 days after the guardian is informed of the findings in the plan for the care or treatment of the protected person. The guardian shall serve the notice on the protected person, the attorney of the protected person and any person who is the subject of the restriction on communication, visitation or interaction.
