NRS 40.695 Tolling of statutes of limitation or repose; applicability.

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, statutes of limitation or repose applicable to a claim based on a constructional defect governed by NRS 40.600 to 40.695, inclusive, are tolled from the time notice of the claim is given, until the earlier of:

(a) One year after notice of the claim is given; or

(b) Thirty days after mediation is concluded or waived in writing pursuant to NRS 40.680.

2. Statutes of limitation and repose may be tolled under this section for a period longer than 1 year after notice of the claim is given only if, in an action for a constructional defect brought by a claimant after the applicable statute of limitation or repose has expired, the claimant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the court that good cause exists to toll the statutes of limitation and repose under this section for a longer period.

3. Tolling under this section applies to a third party regardless of whether the party is required to appear in the proceeding.
