NRS644.440. Notice and hearing for denial of license; citation for violation of regulation concerning sanitation or health; grounds for immediate suspension and automatic revocation.

      1.  The Board may refuse to issue or renew any license only upon 20 days’ notice in writing to the interested parties. The notice must contain a brief statement of the reasons for the contemplated action of the Board and designate a proper time and place for the hearing of all interested parties before any final action is taken.

      2.  Notice, within the provisions of subsection 1, shall be deemed to have been given when the Board deposits with the United States Postal Service a copy of the notice, addressed to the designated or last known residence of the applicant or licensee.

      3.  Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 622A of NRS, violations of any regulation of the Board for sanitation or of any statute or regulation of the State Board of Health or any county regulation concerning health may be corrected by any inspector of the Board by giving notice in the form of a citation. Any licensee receiving a citation shall immediately correct the violation or shall show that corrections have commenced. Failure to correct or to commence corrections within 72 hours after receipt of the citation subjects the license to immediate suspension. The Board may then give 20 days’ notice for hearing to show cause why the license should not be permanently revoked.

      4.  Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 622A of NRS, the closure of any establishment or school by the State Board of Health acts as an automatic revocation of the license.
