1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a licensee shall pay a patron’s claim within 20 days after the decision of the Board or the hearing examiner directing the licensee to do so becomes final. Failure to pay within that time is grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to NRS 463.311 to 463.3145, inclusive.
2. If a licensee intends to file a petition for judicial review of the decision pursuant to NRS 463.3662 to 463.3668, inclusive, the licensee must first deposit in an interest-bearing account in a financial institution an amount equal to the amount in dispute. The licensee shall pay the full amount of the patron’s claim, including interest, within 20 days after a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction so directs.
3. The licensee may withdraw the amount deposited in the financial institution upon:
(a) Payment of the full amount of the patron’s claim, plus interest, if the licensee has given notice to the Board of the payment; or
(b) A final determination by the court that the licensee is not required to pay the claim.
