NRS91.280. Orders: Judicial review. [Effective through December 31, 2014, and after that date unless the provisions of Senate Joint Resolution No. 14 (2011) are approved and ratified by the voters at the 2014 General Election.]

      1.  Any person aggrieved by a final order of the Administrator may obtain judicial review of the order in the District Court for the First Judicial District by filing with the court, within 60 days after the entry of the order, a written petition praying that the order be modified or set aside in whole or in part. A copy of the petition for review must be served upon the Administrator.

      2.  Upon the filing of a petition for review, unless the court orders the taking of additional evidence pursuant to subsection 5 or 6, the court has exclusive jurisdiction of the matter, and the Administrator may not modify or set aside the order, in whole or in part.

      3.  The filing of a petition for review under subsection 1 does not, unless specifically ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the Administrator’s order, and the Administrator may enforce or ask the court to enforce the order pending the outcome of the proceedings.

      4.  Upon receipt of the petition for review, the Administrator shall certify and file in the court a copy of the order and the transcript or record of the evidence upon which it was based. If the order became final by operation of law under subsection 4 of NRS 91.270, the Administrator shall certify and file in court the summary order, evidence of its source and an affidavit certifying that no hearing has been held and that the order became final pursuant to that subsection.

      5.  If either the aggrieved party or the Administrator applies to the court for leave to submit additional evidence, and shows to the satisfaction of the court that there were reasonable grounds for failure to submit the evidence in the hearing before the Administrator or other good cause, the court may order the additional evidence to be taken by the Administrator under such conditions as the court considers proper.

      6.  If new evidence is ordered taken by the court, the Administrator may modify the findings and order by reason of the additional evidence and shall file in the court the additional evidence together with any modified or new findings or order.

      7.  The court shall review the petition based upon the original record before the Administrator as amended under subsections 5 and 6. The findings of the Administrator as to the facts, if supported by competent, material and substantive evidence, are conclusive. Based upon this review, the court may affirm, modify, enforce or set aside the order, in whole or in part.

      8.  The judgment of the court is subject to review by the Supreme Court.
