1. If the Commissioner of Financial Institutions determines, after investigation, that a represented entity of a registered agent has failed to comply with the provisions of chapter 604A or 675 of NRS, the Commissioner may issue an order to the registered agent to cease and refrain from providing all services for the represented entity other than those services set forth in NRS 77.400.
2. A registered agent who receives an order pursuant to subsection 1 shall immediately notify the represented entity. The represented entity shall be deemed to have received the order on the date that it is received by the registered agent.
3. Any contract between a registered agent, its subsidiary or affiliate and the represented entity entered into on or after July 1, 2008, shall be deemed to include a provision that provides for the termination of the contract or agreement without liability to the registered agent, its subsidiary or affiliate, upon the issuance of an order issued pursuant to this section, except for any agreement for the provision of the services set forth in NRS 77.400. Any provision of a contract which conflicts with this subsection is void. Failure to include such a provision in a contract is not a defense in an action brought to enforce or terminate the contract.
4. An order issued pursuant to subsection 1 is a final decision for the purposes of judicial review pursuant to chapter 233B of NRS. A registered agent shall comply with any such order pending judicial review.
5. If the Commissioner of Financial Institutions finds that a registered agent has failed to comply with an order issued pursuant to this section, the Commissioner may impose an administrative fine of not more than $1,000 upon the registered agent. Any fine collected pursuant to this section must be deposited with the State Treasurer for credit to the State General Fund.
