      1.  To renew a certificate of registration a court reporter must:

      (a) Apply to the Board for renewal;

      (b) Pay the annual renewal fee prescribed by the Board;

      (c) Submit evidence to the Board of completion of the requirements for continuing education established by the Board; and

      (d) Submit all information required to complete the renewal.

      2.  The Board shall adopt regulations requiring court reporters to participate in continuing education or training as a prerequisite to the renewal or restoration of a certificate. If a court reporter fails to comply with the requirements, the Board may suspend or revoke his or her certificate.

      3.  The failure of any court reporter to submit all information required to complete the renewal or pay in advance the annual renewal fee which may be fixed by the Board as necessary to defray the expense of administering the provisions of this chapter results in the suspension of the reporter’s right to engage in the practice of court reporting. The suspension must not be terminated until all required information has been submitted and all delinquent fees have been paid.

      4.  A court reporter whose certificate of registration has been suspended because of failure to submit all required information or pay the renewal fee:

      (a) May within 2 years thereafter have the certificate reinstated without examination upon submission of all required information and payment of the fees set forth in paragraph (e) of subsection 1 of NRS 656.220.

      (b) While he or she was on active military duty or in training before induction, may have the certificate renewed without payment of any fee if he or she files an application for renewal, an affidavit of such service with the Board within 2 years after the termination of the service and all information required to complete the renewal.
