1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 2:
(a) Before the issuance of a permit to a seller,
the seller shall post with the Commissioner and thereafter maintain in force a
bond which complies with NRS 679B.175 and is in an amount determined by the Commissioner, which must be not less than
$50,000, or a deposit of cash or negotiable securities or a combination of cash
and negotiable securities. If a deposit is made in lieu of a bond, the deposit
must at all times have a market value not less than the amount of the bond
required by the Commissioner.
(b) The bond or deposit must be held for the benefit
of buyers of prepaid contracts, and other persons as their interests may
appear, who may be damaged by misuse or diversion of money by the seller or the
agents of the seller, or to satisfy any judgments against the seller for
failure to perform a prepaid contract. The aggregate liability of the surety
for all breaches of the conditions of the bond must not exceed the sum of the
bond.
(c) A replacement bond must meet all requirements
of this subsection for the initial bond.
(d) The Commissioner shall release the deposit
after the seller has ceased doing business as such and the Commissioner is
satisfied of the nonexistence of any obligation or liability of the seller for
which the deposit was held.
2. The Commissioner may waive the
requirements of subsection 1 if the seller agrees:
(a) To offer for sale only prepaid contracts that
are payable solely from the proceeds of a policy of life insurance; and
(b) Not to collect any money from the purchaser
of a prepaid contract.
