§ 624.341. Administrative citation; order to take corrective action; penalty

1. If the Board or its designee, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, has reason

to believe that a person has: (a) Acted as a contractor without an active license of the proper classification issued

pursuant to this chapter, the Board or its designee, as appropriate, shall issue or

authorize the issuance of a written administrative citation to the person. For the purposes of this section, a person shall be deemed to have an active license

of the proper classification if the person has an active license and is performing

work in conformity with the requirements of subsection 4 of NRS 624.220 . (b) Committed any other act which constitutes a violation of this chapter or the regulations

of the Board, the Board or its designee, as appropriate, may issue or authorize the

issuance of a written administrative citation to the person. 2. A citation issued pursuant to this section may include, without limitation: (a) An order to take action to correct a condition resulting from an act that constitutes

a violation of this chapter or the regulations of the Board, at the person's cost; (b) An order to pay an administrative fine not to exceed $50,000, except as otherwise

provided in subsection 1 of NRS 624.300 ; and (c) An order to reimburse the Board for the amount of the expenses incurred to investigate

the complaint. 3. If a written citation issued pursuant to this section includes an order to take

action to correct a condition resulting from an act that constitutes a violation of

this chapter or the regulations of the Board, the citation must state the time permitted

for compliance, which must be not less than 15 business days after the date the person

receives the citation, and specifically describe the action required to be taken. 4. The sanctions authorized by this section are separate from, and in addition to,

any other remedy, civil or criminal, authorized by this chapter. 5. The failure of an unlicensed person to comply with a citation or order after it

is final is a misdemeanor. If an unlicensed person does not pay an administrative fine imposed pursuant to

this section within 60 days after the order of the Board becomes final, the order

may be executed upon in the same manner as a judgment issued by a court.
