There are many statutes that are to be used only in unique or special circumstances. Even lawyers and judges have the capacity, at least on occasion, to use common sense. The same is true for most police, though some become a little confused at times.
The foresightful town council of Elko used this common sense and now have the perfect enforcement mechanism for the publics's safety. As I said, it is just one of many examples of our forward thinking in NV.
As for necessities, worker safety comes first, even if there is an increased perception of need due to isolation and high stress. Adequate protection of the "independent contractors" would make the utilization of their services rather pointless. What is terribly unfair, however, is that these hard working people are ineligible for unemployment benefits unlike those who work in cabarets providing only temptations. A solution is being considered.
