      1.  Upon satisfactory evidence of competency, submission of the statement required pursuant to NRS 587.382 and the payment of a reasonable fee for a license, the State Quarantine Officer may license a person to inspect or classify agricultural products in accordance with such regulations as the State Quarantine Officer may prescribe at such places as the volume of business may be found to warrant the furnishing of such inspection service, at the request of persons having an interest in such products, and to ascertain and to certify to such persons the grade, classification, quality or condition thereof, and such other pertinent facts as the State Quarantine Officer may require.

      2.  Licensed inspectors may charge and collect as compensation for such services only such fees as may be approved by the State Quarantine Officer.

      3.  Except as otherwise required in subsection 4, the State Quarantine Officer may suspend or revoke any license if, after an opportunity for hearing has been afforded the licensee, the State Quarantine Officer determines that the licensee is incompetent or has knowingly or carelessly failed to certify correctly the grade, classification, quality or condition of any agricultural product, or has violated any provisions of NRS 587.290 to 587.450, inclusive, or of the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

      4.  Pending investigation, the State Quarantine Officer may suspend a license temporarily without a hearing.
