1. If a court orders a parent to obtain health insurance for the parent’s child and the parent fails to enroll the child and provide written proof to the enforcing authority, the enforcing authority shall mail to the parent's employer or labor organization by first-class mail, a notice requiring the employer or organization to enroll the child in the plan of health insurance provided for the employer’s employees or the organization’s members. The Division of Welfare and Supportive Services shall, by regulation, prescribe the content of the notice and establish procedures for providing the notice to ensure compliance with federal law.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, upon receipt of a notice to enroll, mailed pursuant to subsection 1, the employer or labor organization shall enroll the child named in the notice in the plan of health insurance provided for the employer’s employees or the organization’s members. The child must be enrolled without regard to any restrictions upon periods for enrollment. If more than one plan is offered by the employer or labor organization, and each plan may be extended to cover the child, the child must be enrolled in the parent's plan. If the parent's plan cannot be extended to cover the child, the child must be enrolled in a plan that provides coverage for a dependent that is otherwise available to the parent, subject to the eligibility requirements of that plan. An employer, labor organization, health maintenance organization or other insurer is not required to enroll the child in a plan of health insurance if the child is not otherwise eligible to be enrolled in that plan. If the child is not eligible to be enrolled in the parent's plan of health insurance, the employer or labor organization shall notify the enforcing authority.

3. The employer or labor organization shall transfer the notice to enroll to the administrator that provides coverage pursuant to the plan of health insurance for which the child is eligible within 20 business days after the date of the notice to enroll. The administrator shall fully complete and return the response form to the enforcing authority within 40 business days after the date of the notice.

4. After the child is enrolled in a plan of health insurance, the premiums required to be paid by the parent for the child's coverage must be deducted from the parent's wages. If the parent's wages are not sufficient to pay for those premiums, the employer or labor organization shall notify the enforcing authority. A parent may contest the withholding pursuant to NRS 31A.050 .

5. A notice to enroll sent pursuant to subsection 1 has the same effect as an enrollment application signed by the parent. No employer or labor organization may refuse to enroll a child because a parent has not signed an enrollment application.

6. An employer or labor organization shall, without liability to the parent, provide to the enforcing authority, upon request, information about the name of the insurer and the number of the parent's policy of health insurance.

7. The enforcing authority may withhold wages or other income and require withholding of state tax refunds whenever the responsible parent has received payment from the third party and not used the payment to reimburse the other parent or provider to the extent necessary to reimburse the Medicaid agency.

8. The enforcing authority shall promptly notify the employer or labor organization when there is no longer a current order for medical support in effect for which the enforcing authority is responsible.

9. The employer shall notify the enforcing authority when the parent subject to the notice to enroll terminates the parent’s employment, and provide the last known address of the parent and the name of any new employer of the parent, if known.

10. If an employer or labor organization wrongfully refuses to enroll a child in a plan of health insurance as required in this section, or knowingly misrepresents that health insurance is not available, the employer or labor organization may be held liable for punitive damages and all unreimbursed medical expenses incurred during the period in which insurance was not in effect.

11. An employer, labor organization or enforcing authority who complies with a notice to enroll that is regular on its face may not be held liable in any civil action for any conduct taken in compliance with the notice.

3. A lien on receivership property which is extinguished by a transfer under subsection 2 attaches to the proceeds of the transfer with the same validity, perfection and priority the lien had on the property immediately before the transfer, even if the proceeds are not sufficient to satisfy all obligations secured by the lien.

4. A transfer under subsection 2 may occur by means other than a public auction sale.

5. A reversal or modification of an order approving a transfer under subsection 2 does not affect the validity of the transfer to a person that acquired the property in good faith or revive against the person any lien extinguished by the transfer, whether the person knew before the transfer of the request for reversal or modification, unless the court stayed the order before the transfer.

6. As used in this section, “ good faith ” means honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.

Plaintiff shall give property owner a copy of all appraisals before obtaining possession; motion by plaintiff for order permitting occupancy pending entry of judgment; notice; determination of public use at hearing; proof; bond or deposit in court; defendant may be restrained
Status: in_force

1. Before the plaintiff obtains possession of the property, the plaintiff shall give to the owner of the property a copy of all appraisals of the property obtained by the plaintiff.

2. The plaintiff may move the court or a judge thereof at any time after the commencement of suit, on notice for such time as the court or judge may direct to the defendant if the defendant is a resident of the county or has appeared in the action, otherwise by serving a notice directed to the defendant on the clerk of the court, for an order permitting the plaintiff to occupy the premises sought to be condemned, pending the entry of judgment, and to do such work thereon as may be required for the easement, fee or property rights sought, according to its nature.

3. At the occupancy hearing, the court shall make a separate and distinct determination as to whether the property is being taken for a public use pursuant to NRS 37.010 , if the defendant requests such a determination.

4. If the defendant does not request a determination pursuant to subsection 3 or if the court determines that the property is being taken for a public use pursuant to NRS 37.010 , the court or judge shall take proof, by affidavit or otherwise, of the value of the premises sought to be condemned, the damages which will accrue from the condemnation and the reasons for requiring a speedy occupation, and shall grant or refuse the motion according to the equity of the case and the relative damages which may accrue to the parties.

Upon application of the defendant and upon notice to all parties, the court or judge may order the money deposited with the clerk of the court or any part thereof to be paid to the defendant. If the amount of the compensation awarded upon judgment is less than the sum deposited and paid to the defendant, the court shall enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant for the amount of the excess. Application by the defendant to the court for withdrawal of part or all of the money deposited and the payment of that money to the defendant does not prejudice the right of the defendant to contest the amount of compensation to be finally awarded. The receipt by the defendant of a part or all of the money deposited must be conditioned upon the waiver of all defenses except those relating to the amount of compensation.

7. The amount of the penal bond or the deposit is for the purpose of the motion only and is not admissible in evidence on final hearing.

8. The court or judge may also restrain the defendant from hindering or interfering with the occupation of the premises and the doing thereon of the work required for the easement, fee or property rights.

The provisions of this subsection do not prevent the State of Nevada from depositing, in lieu of a pledge of the public faith and credit, with the clerk of the court a sum equal to the value of the premises plus any damages as appraised by the State.
