Nevada § 233B.110 - Declaratory judgment to determine validity or applicability of regulation

§ 233B.110. Declaratory judgment to determine validity or applicability of regulation

1. The validity or applicability of any regulation may be determined in a proceeding

for a declaratory judgment in the district court in and for Carson City, or in and

for the county where the plaintiff resides, when it is alleged that the regulation,

or its proposed application, interferes with or impairs, or threatens to interfere

with or impair, the legal rights or privileges of the plaintiff. A declaratory judgment may be rendered after the plaintiff has first requested the

agency to pass upon the validity of the regulation in question. The court shall declare the regulation invalid if it finds that it violates constitutional

or statutory provisions or exceeds the statutory authority of the agency. The agency whose regulation is made the subject of the declaratory action shall be

made a party to the action. 2. An agency may institute an action for declaratory judgment to establish the validity

of any one or more of its own regulations. 3. Actions for declaratory judgment provided for in subsections 1 and 2 shall be in

accordance with the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act (chapter 30 of NRS), and the

Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure. In all actions under subsections 1 and 2, the plaintiff shall serve a copy of the

complaint upon the Attorney General, who is also entitled to be heard.
