described in NRS 573.033 , the applicant
may deliver to the Director the receipt of a bank, credit union or trust company
doing business in this state showing the deposit with that bank, credit union
or trust company of cash or of securities endorsed in blank by the owner
thereof and, except as otherwise provided in NRS
573.025 , of a market value equal at least to the required principal amount
of the bond, the cash or securities to be deposited in escrow under an
agreement conditioned as in the case of a bond. A receipt must be accompanied
by evidence that there are no unsatisfied judgments against the applicant of
record in the county where the applicant resides.
2. An action for recovery against any such
deposit may be brought in the same manner as in the case of an action for

3. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 573.025 , if any licensed operator of a
public livestock auction or holder of a limited license to conduct an annual
sale of livestock for any reason ceases to operate the auction or sale, the
amount of money or securities deposited in lieu of a bond must be retained by
the Department for 1 year. If 1 year after the cessation of the operation, no
legal action has been commenced to recover against the money or securities, the
amount thereof must be delivered to the owner thereof. If a legal action has
been commenced within that period, all such money and securities must be held
by the Director subject to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
