2. Unless the adverse party is present at the hearing described in NRS 33.565 to receive the date of the hearing described in NRS 33.575 in which the court will determine whether to issue an extended order, the court shall order the appropriate law enforcement agency to serve, without charge, the adverse party personally with:

If the court withholds or redacts any personal identifying information pursuant to this subsection, the court shall:
(a) Upon request of the adverse party, provide the adverse party or the adverse party’s attorney or agent with an opportunity to interview the applicant or other person whose personal identifying information was withheld or redacted in an environment that provides for protection of the applicant or other person;
