To establish a self-insurance program for providing worker's compensation, being licensed to do business in Nevada is a fundamental requirement. This ensures that the employer is compliant with state regulations and acknowledges that they are operating legally within the jurisdiction of Nevada. Licensing serves as a marker of credibility and responsibility, which is critical when it comes to managing liabilities associated with worker's compensation.

The licensing requirement highlights the legal status of the employer and the necessity for adhering to state statutes and regulations concerning worker's compensation.
