If a mediator selected pursuant to NRS 288.570 determines that his or her services are no longer helpful or if the parties do not reach a collective bargaining agreement through mediation within 21 days after the appointment of the mediator or on or before any later date set by agreement of the parties, the mediator shall discontinue mediation and the parties shall attempt to agree upon an impartial arbitrator. Any proposal that conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with any provision of state law, other than the provisions of chapters 284 and 287 of NRS, shall be considered withdrawn by the proposing party when mediation is discontinued.

2.

If the parties do not agree upon an impartial arbitrator within 5 days after the date on which mediation is discontinued pursuant to subsection 1 or on or before any later date set by agreement of the parties, the parties shall request from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service a list of seven potential arbitrators. The parties shall select an arbitrator from this list by alternately striking one name until the name of only one arbitrator remains, and that arbitrator must hear the dispute in question. The party who will strike the first name must be determined by a coin toss.

The arbitrator shall begin arbitration proceedings on or before March 1 or any later date set by agreement of the parties.

4.

The arbitrator and the parties shall apply and follow the procedures for arbitration that are prescribed by any rules adopted by the Board pursuant to NRS 288.110. During arbitration, the parties retain their respective duties to negotiate in good faith.

5.

The arbitrator may administer oaths or affirmations, take testimony and issue and seek enforcement of a subpoena in the same manner as the Board pursuant to NRS 288.120, and, except as otherwise provided in subsection 7, the provisions of NRS 288.120 apply to any subpoena issued by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall render a decision on or before March 15 or any later date set by agreement of the parties.
