§ 233B.127. Licenses: Applicability of provisions governing contested cases to grant, deny or renew; expiration notice and opportunity to show compliance required before adverse action by agency; summary suspension

1. The provisions of NRS 233B.121 to 233B.150 , inclusive, do not apply to the grant, denial or renewal of a license unless notice

and opportunity for hearing are required by law to be provided to the applicant before

the grant, denial or renewal of the license. 2. When a licensee has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a

license or for a new license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature,

the existing license does not expire until the application has been finally determined

by the agency and, in case the application is denied or the terms of the new license

limited, until the last day for seeking review of the agency order or a later date

fixed by order of the reviewing court. 3. No revocation, suspension, annulment or withdrawal of any license is lawful unless,

before the institution of agency proceedings, the agency gave notice by certified

mail to the licensee of facts or conduct which warrant the intended action, and the

licensee was given an opportunity to show compliance with all lawful requirements

for the retention of the license. If the agency finds that public health, safety or welfare imperatively require emergency

action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in its order, summary suspension

of a license may be ordered pending proceedings for revocation or other action. An agency's order of summary suspension may be issued by the agency or by the Chair

of the governing body of the agency. If the order of summary suspension is issued by the Chair of the governing body

of the agency, the Chair shall not participate in any further proceedings of the agency

relating to that order. Proceedings relating to the order of summary suspension must be instituted and determined

within 45 days after the date of the order unless the agency and the licensee mutually

agree in writing to a longer period.
