      1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, if the Board suspends or revokes a license, has probable cause to believe that a person has violated NRS 624.720 or imposes an administrative fine pursuant to NRS 624.710, the Board shall hold a hearing. The time and place for the hearing must be fixed by the Board, and notice of the time and place of the hearing must be personally served on the applicant or accused or mailed to the last known address of the applicant or accused at least 21 days before the date fixed for the hearing.

      2.  The testimony taken pursuant to NRS 624.170 to 624.210, inclusive, must be considered a part of the record of the hearing before the Board.

      3.  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 622.320, the hearing must be public if a request is made therefor.

      4.  The Board may suspend the license of a contractor without a hearing if the Board finds, based upon evidence in its possession, that the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires summary suspension of the license of the contractor and incorporates that finding in its order. If the Board summarily suspends the license of the contractor, the Board must notify the contractor by certified mail. A hearing must be held within 60 days after the suspension if the contractor submits a written request for a hearing to the Board within 20 days after the Board summarily suspends the license.
