This article on construction defect's repair process in Nevada came out yesterday...
Homeowners, contractors and subcontractors gave state lawmakers varying viewpoints on Nevada's law governing construction defects, though most were of the opinion that the law needs to be adjusted.
"I think there is a little tweaking that is going to have to be done," said state Sen. Maurice Washington, R-Sparks, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that received the testimony during a hearing about construction defect laws and Chapter 40 of state law.
"The Chapter 40 process is slow, expensive and isn't working," said Josh Griffin, representing the MGM Mirage that is building a

Steve Hill, chairman of the Construction Coalition, agreed.
"Chapter 40 is such a convoluted process; it does more harm than good," he said.
