NAC284.317. Investigations of applicants; minimum age requirement.

     1. To determine whether an applicant meets the minimum qualifications established for the class or position and other necessary criteria, the Division of Human Resource Management may require evidence of United States citizenship, alien status, discharge under honorable circumstances from the Armed Forces of the United States, possession of valid licenses for various purposes, educational transcripts or other evidence of identification and qualification. Except as otherwise provided in NAC 284.325 with respect to a request for a veteran’s preference, any required information which is not received by the time of certification will be cause for the Administrator to decline to certify the applicant.

     2. A reasonable minimum age requirement may be established for any position that involves public safety, supervision or care of wards of the State of Nevada, hazardous working conditions or other unusual circumstances. If such a minimum age requirement is established, it must be specified in the approved class specification or the publicized job announcement and an applicant shall, upon request, submit appropriate proof of age to the Division of Human Resource Management.

     3. The Division of Human Resource Management or employing agency may investigate an applicant’s character, past employment, education, experience and, as allowed by specific statute, criminal background.
