Nevada § 453.241 - Administrative proceedings to deny, suspend or revoke registration

§ 453.241. Administrative proceedings to deny, suspend or revoke registration

1. Administrative proceedings by the Board to deny, suspend or revoke a registration

must be initiated, conducted and concluded pursuant to the provisions of NRS 639.241 to 639.257 , inclusive, without regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding, but instead

of the methods of discipline provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of subsection 1 of NRS 639.255 , the Board shall: (a) Suspend the right of the registrant to use his or her registration or a schedule

thereof; or (b) Revoke the registration or a schedule thereof. 2. Proceedings to refuse renewal of registration do not abate the existing registration,

which remains in effect pending the outcome of the administrative hearing. 3. The Board may suspend, before the hearing, any registration with the institution

of proceedings under NRS 453.236 , or where renewal of registration is refused, if it finds that there is an imminent

danger to the public health or safety which warrants this action. The suspension continues in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including

judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the Board or dissolved by a court

of competent jurisdiction. In the event of such a suspension the Board shall conduct a hearing at the earliest

possible date, but in any event, the hearing must be conducted no later than 15 days

after the date of suspension unless a continuance is requested by the registrant or

the registrant otherwise prevents the holding of the hearing.
