21.48.26. Any party to a dispute determined by government regulation, such as a dispute that could affect the payment of a sum of money that a party owes to another party, may, on the conditions prescribed by that regulation, require that the dispute be decided by a third-person decider.

In such a case, the other party to the dispute is required to participate in the selection of a third-person decider and in the dispute settlement process before that third person; failing such participation, that selection or process may, in accordance with the rules determined by government regulation, be made or take place without the participation of that other party.

The disputes that may be submitted to a third-person decider under this section may, among other things, be determined according to their subject matter, or to the category of contracts or subcontracts from which they arise or any characteristic of those contracts or subcontracts, such as the manner in which the contract or subcontract is to be carried out.
