Nevada § 463.3145 - Written decision and order of Commission; rehearing

§ 463.3145. Written decision and order of Commission; rehearing

1. After the hearing of a contested matter, the Commission shall render a written

decision on the merits which must contain findings of fact, a determination of the

issues presented and the penalty to be imposed, if any. The Commission shall thereafter make and enter its written order in conformity to

its decision. No member of the Commission who did not hear the evidence may vote on the decision.

The affirmative votes of a majority of the whole Commission are required to impose

any penalty. Copies of the decision and order must be served on the parties personally or sent

to them by registered or certified mail. The decision is effective upon such service, unless the Commission orders otherwise. 2. The Commission may, upon motion made within 10 days after service of a decision

and order, order a rehearing before the Commission upon such terms and conditions

as it may deem just and proper if a petition for judicial review of the decision and

order has not been filed. The motion must not be granted except upon a showing that there is additional evidence

which is material and necessary and reasonably calculated to change the decision of

the Commission, and that sufficient reason existed for failure to present the evidence

at the hearing of the Commission. The motion must be supported by an affidavit of the moving party or his or her counsel

showing with particularity the materiality and necessity of the additional evidence

and the reason why it was not introduced at the hearing. Upon rehearing, rebuttal evidence to the additional evidence must be permitted. After rehearing, the Commission may modify its decision and order as the additional

evidence may warrant.
