If, within 10 business days after the date on which the Division begins accepting applications in response to a request for applications issued pursuant to NAC 453A.304, the Division receives more than one application and the Division determines that more than one of the applications is complete and in compliance with this chapter and chapter 453A of NRS, the Division will rank the applications, within each applicable local governmental jurisdiction for any applicants which are in a jurisdiction that limits the number of a type of medical marijuana establishment and statewide for each applicant which is in a jurisdiction that does not specify a limit, in order from first to last based on compliance with the provisions of this chapter and chapter 453A of NRS and on the content of the applications as it relates to:

     (a) The ownership or authorized use of property as required by sub-subparagraph (IV) of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of subsection 3 of NRS 453A.322;

     (d) The description of the proposed organizational structure of the proposed medical marijuana establishment and information concerning each owner, officer and board member of the proposed medical marijuana establishment, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to subsections 5 and 6 of NAC 453A.306.

     2. The Division will not further evaluate an application that does not demonstrate a sufficient response to the criteria set forth in subsection 1 and will not issue a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate to that applicant.

     3. If the Division receives any findings from a report concerning the criminal history of an applicant or person who is proposed to be an owner, officer or board member of a proposed medical marijuana establishment that disqualify that person from being qualified to serve in that capacity, the Division will provide notice to the applicant and give the applicant an opportunity to revise its application. If a person who is disqualified from serving as an owner, officer or board member remains on the application as a proposed owner, officer or board member 90 days after the date on which the Division initially received the application, the Division may disqualify the application.
