41-1071. Military relief from administrative
procedures; process

At any stage, any action or proceeding before any state agency, board, commission or
administrative tribunal involving a person on active duty in the military service of the
United States or this state as a necessary party, which occurs during such period of
service or within sixty days thereafter, may be stayed in the discretion of the state
administrative entity before which it is pending, on its own motion. The state
administrative entity shall not stay an action or proceeding on its own motion if the
service member makes a written objection to the stay. Such action or proceeding shall be
stayed on application to the state administrative entity by such person or some person on
his behalf, unless in the written decision of the state administrative entity, the
ability of the service member to pursue the claim or defense in the action or proceeding
is not prejudiced by the military service.
