1. The persons in a proceeding pending before a tribunal may sign a collaborative
law participation agreement to seek to resolve a collaborative matter related to the
proceeding. The parties to the collaborative law participation agreement shall file promptly
with the tribunal a notice of the agreement after it is signed. Subject to subsection 3 and NRS 38.500 and 38.505 , the filing operates as an application for a stay of the proceeding. 2. The parties shall file promptly with the tribunal notice in a record when a collaborative

and collaborative lawyers to provide a status report on the collaborative law process
and the proceeding. A status report must include only information on whether the process is ongoing
or concluded. It must not include a report, assessment, evaluation, recommendation, finding or
other communication regarding a collaborative law process or collaborative law matter. 4. A tribunal may not consider a communication made in violation of subsection 3. 5. A tribunal shall provide the parties with notice and an opportunity to be heard
before dismissing a proceeding in which a notice of collaborative law process is filed
based on delay or failure to prosecute.
