§ 485.191. Right to hearing; notice; request for hearing; waiver

1. Any operator or owner of a motor vehicle who was involved in a crash and who is

not exempt from the requirements of depositing security by the provisions of NRS 485.200 , is entitled to a hearing before the Director or a representative of the Director

before a determination of the amount of security required pursuant to NRS 485.190 , and before the suspension of his or her operator's license or registration as provided

in subsection 2 of NRS 485.190 . The hearing must be held in the county of residence of the operator. If the operator and owner reside in different counties and the hearing would involve

both of them, the hearing must be held in the county which will be the most convenient

for the summoning of witnesses. 2. The owner or operator must be given at least 30 days' notice of the hearing in

writing with a brief explanation of the proceedings to be taken against the owner

or operator and the possible consequences of a determination adverse to the owner

or operator. 3. If the operator or owner desires a hearing, the owner or operator shall, within

15 days, notify the Department in writing of such intention. If the owner or operator does not send this notice within the 15 days, he or she

waives his or her right to a hearing, except that, the Director may for good cause

shown permit the owner a later opportunity for a hearing.
