NAC228.130. On-site inspection; annual renewal.

     1. The Committee may, each year, conduct an on-site inspection of each program to determine whether the organization that operates the program is in compliance with the provisions of NAC 228.010 to 228.225, inclusive. If the Committee finds a violation of NAC 228.010 to 228.225, inclusive, during the on-site inspection of the program, the Committee may require the organization that operates the program to complete a plan detailing the action necessary to remedy the violation within 45 days after the date the organization is notified of the violation. The Committee will review the plan to determine compliance at the first subsequent meeting of the Committee after the plan is completed and will determine whether to approve the plan.

     2. An organization that has obtained a certificate for a program pursuant to NAC 228.100 must renew its certification within 1 year after obtaining the certificate. If the organization was issued a provisional certificate pursuant to NAC 228.102 before it obtained a certificate for a program pursuant to NAC 228.100, the certificate obtained pursuant to NAC 228.100 expires 1 year after the Committee first issued the provisional certificate.

     3. An organization that wishes to renew its certification must submit a completed application for renewal to the Committee at least 60 days before the certificate expires.

     4. The certificate will be renewed if the Committee determines that:

     (a) The application for renewal is complete;

     (b) The organization which operates the program has satisfied the requirements of subsection 3 of NAC 228.100;

     (c) The program has passed the inspection of the Committee conducted pursuant to subsection 1, if one is conducted; and

     (d) The organization which operates the program has submitted:

          (1) Proof of completion of the hours of continuing education required by NAC 228.210; and

          (2) The annual reports required by NAC 228.115.

     5. If a completed application and the documents described in paragraph (d) of subsection 4 are received by the Committee on or before the expiration date of the certificate, the certificate remains in effect after the expiration date of the certificate unless the Committee provides notice to the organization in the manner prescribed by NAC 228.150.

     6. If a completed application and the documents described in paragraph (d) of subsection 4 are not received by the Committee on or before the expiration date of the certificate, the certificate becomes delinquent and the Committee will, within 30 days after the certificate becomes delinquent, send a notice to that effect by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the organization as indicated in the records of the Committee.

     7. If a completed application or a document described in paragraph (d) of subsection 4 is deposited with the United States Postal Service, it shall be deemed received by the Committee on the date indicated on the post office cancellation mark stamped upon the envelope containing the document if:

     (a) The envelope is properly addressed to the Committee; and

     (b) That date is earlier than the actual receipt of that document.

     8. The organization may renew the certificate within 90 days after the certificate becomes delinquent if the organization complies with the requirements set forth in subsection 4.

     9. If a certificate is not renewed within 90 days after the certificate becomes delinquent, the certificate expires without further notice or a hearing and the Committee will remove the program from the list of programs that it provides to the courts of this State.

     10. If a certificate expires pursuant to subsection 9, the organization which operated the program may reapply for certification of the program pursuant to NAC 228.100.
