1. A civil action brought pursuant to NRS 453.553 must be brought within 3 years
after the conduct in violation of the provisions of NRS 453.011 to 453.552 , inclusive, occurs.
2. Such a civil action is not barred by a
prior acquittal of the defendant in a criminal action arising out of the same
act, transaction or occurrence. A final judgment or decree rendered in favor of
the State in any criminal proceeding arising out of the same act, transaction
or occurrence estops the defendant in a subsequent civil action from denying
the essential allegations of the criminal offense.
