1. In lieu of the insurance against liability required by the regulations adopted pursuant to NRS 706.305 , an operator of a taxicab may deposit with the Department:
(a) Any security in the amount of $500,000; or
(b) An amount equal to 110 percent of the average annual costs of claims incurred by the operator for crashes involving motor vehicles during the immediately preceding 3 years,
Ê whichever is less, but in no event may the deposit be less than $250,000. The security deposited may be in any form authorized by NRS 706.3058 . The Department shall not accept a deposit unless it is accompanied by evidence that there are no unsatisfied judgments of any character against the depositor in the county where the depositor resides.
2. An operator of a taxicab depositing money with the Department pursuant to subsection 1, shall authorize payments from the deposit in the amounts and under the same circumstances as would be required in a contract of insurance against liability which is in compliance with the regulations adopted pursuant to NRS 706.305 .
3. Any security deposited must be used to satisfy any judgment obtained against the depositor which is final and has not been paid within 30 days after the date of the judgment, unless otherwise ordered by the court issuing the judgment. A depositor, within 24 hours after receiving notice that the security has been used to satisfy a judgment obtained against the depositor, shall deposit with the Department an amount which is necessary to maintain with the Department the amount required by subsection 1. The failure to maintain the full amount required by subsection 1 is a ground for the cancellation of the depositor’s certificate of self-insurance.
4. Any money collected by the Department pursuant to subsection 1 must be deposited with the State Treasurer for credit to a separate account in the State General Fund and used for payments authorized pursuant to subsection 2 or to refund money paid by an operator of a taxicab who is no longer participating in a program of self-insurance.
