     (b) The applicant fails to specify or incorrectly specifies on the application the number of his or her hunting license and the year the license was issued, unless that information exists in the computer file of the Department, in which case the application must not be rejected for that reason.

     (j) Except as otherwise provided in NAC 502.4183, the applicant submits more than one application to hunt for the same species or category of species of wildlife during the same year, unless such an application is specifically authorized by the Commission.

     3. If the Department rejects an application pursuant to paragraph (h) of subsection 1 because the applicant failed to submit the fees required pursuant to NAC 502.4175 or the applicant’s bank failed to honor the check or draft for the fees specified in that paragraph, the applicant is ineligible to receive or exercise any privilege conferred upon him or her pursuant to title 45 of NRS until the Department receives:
