NAC453A.320. Health and safety inspections of establishments.

     1. The Division may, at any time it determines an inspection is needed, conduct an investigation into the premises, facilities, qualifications of personnel, methods of operation, policies and purposes of any medical marijuana establishment and of any person proposing to engage in the operation of a medical marijuana establishment. An inspection of a facility may include, without limitation, investigation of standards for safety from fire on behalf of the Division by the local fire protection agency. If a local fire protection agency is not available, the State Fire Marshal may conduct the inspection after the medical marijuana establishment pays the appropriate fee to the State Fire Marshal for such inspection.

     2. The Division will not issue a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate until the Division completes an inspection of the medical marijuana establishment. Such an inspection may require more than one visit to the medical marijuana establishment.

     3. In addition to complying with the provisions of chapter 372A of NRS and chapter 372A of NAC governing the imposition of an excise tax on medical marijuana establishments, a medical marijuana establishment may not operate until it has been issued a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate from the Division.

     4. The Division will not issue a medical marijuana establishment registration certificate until it has received a satisfactory report of full compliance with and completion of all applicable public safety inspections required by state and local jurisdictions, including, without limitation, fire, building, health and air quality inspections, except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NAC 453A.426.
