NRS622.360. Disciplinary proceedings: Licensee required to submit fingerprints; additional grounds for disciplinary action.

      1.  If a regulatory body initiates disciplinary proceedings against a licensee pursuant to this title, the licensee shall, within 30 days after the licensee receives notification of the initiation of the disciplinary proceedings, submit to the regulatory body a complete set of his or her fingerprints and written permission authorizing the regulatory body to forward the fingerprints to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its report.

      2.  The willful failure of the licensee to comply with the requirements of subsection 1 constitutes an additional ground for the regulatory body to take disciplinary action against the licensee, including, without limitation, suspending or revoking the license of the licensee.

      3.  A regulatory body has an additional ground for taking disciplinary action against the licensee if:

      (a) The report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation indicates that the licensee has been convicted of an unlawful act that is a ground for taking disciplinary action against the licensee pursuant to this title; and

      (b) The regulatory body has not taken any prior disciplinary action against the licensee based on that unlawful act.

      4.  To the extent possible, the provisions of this section are intended to supplement other statutory provisions governing disciplinary proceedings. If there is a conflict between such other provisions and the provisions of this section, the other provisions control to the extent that the other provisions provide more specific requirements regarding the discipline of a licensee.
