No policy of industrial insurance that has been in effect for at least 70 days or that has been renewed may be cancelled by the insurer before the expiration of the agreed term or 1 year after the effective date of the policy or renewal, whichever occurs first, except on any one of the following grounds: (a) A failure by the policyholder to pay a premium for the policy of industrial insurance when due, including the failure of the policyholder to remit an amount due because of an endorsement for a deductible; (b) A failure by the policyholder to: (1) Report any payroll; (2) Allow the insurer to audit any payroll in accordance with the terms of the policy or any previous policy issued by the insurer; or (3) Pay any additional premium charged because of an audit of any payroll as required by the terms of the policy or any previous policy issued by the insurer; (c) A material failure by the policyholder to comply with any federal or state order concerning safety or any written recommendation of the insurer’s designated representative for loss control; (d) A material change in ownership of the policyholder or any change in the policyholder’s business or operations that: (1) Materially increases the hazard for frequency or severity of loss; (2) Requires additional or different classifications for the calculation of premiums; or (3) Contemplates an activity that is excluded by any reinsurance treaty of the insurer; (e) A material misrepresentation made by the policyholder; or (f) A failure by the policyholder to cooperate with the insurer in conducting an investigation of a claim. 2.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an insurer shall not cancel a policy of industrial insurance pursuant to paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of subsection 1 except upon 30 days’ written notice by the insurer to the policyholder. An insurer is not required to provide a written notice to a policyholder pursuant to this subsection if the policyholder and the insurer consent to the cancellation of the policy of industrial insurance and to the reissuance of another policy of industrial insurance effective upon a material change in the ownership or operations of the insured.

If an insurer fails to provide a timely notice of nonrenewal, the insurer shall provide the insured with a policy of insurance on the identical terms as in the expiring policy. 2. This section does not apply if the policyholder has accepted replacement coverage or has requested or agreed to nonrenewal, or if the policy is expressly designated as nonrenewable by a clause approved or deemed to be approved by the Commissioner.

(Added to NRS by 1995, 1747) NRS 687B.350 Renewal with altered terms. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, an insurer shall not renew a policy on different terms, including different rates, unless the insurer notifies the insured in writing of the different terms or rates at least 30 days before the expiration of the policy. If the insurer fails to provide adequate and timely notice, the insurer shall renew the policy at the expiring terms and rates: (a) For a period that is equal to the expiring term if the agreed term is 1 year or less; or (b) For 1 year if the agreed term is more than 1 year. 2. The provisions of this section do not apply to a policy of industrial insurance. (Added to NRS by 1971, 1725; A 1995, 1747; 2003, 3314) NRS 687B.355 Information about claims paid on behalf of policyholder; regulations. 1.
