NAC637.490. Petition for hearing.

A person may petition to appear before the Board and be heard on a matter within the Board’s jurisdiction, as follows:

     1. The petition must be submitted to the Board on a form prescribed by the Board and must contain a brief summary of the subject matter and a statement of the petitioner’s reasons for wishing to bring the matter before the Board.

     2. The petition must be received by the Board at least 45 days before the meeting at which the petitioner wishes to be heard but the Board may waive this time requirement.

     3. Upon receipt of the petition, any member of the Board may make an initial evaluation to determine whether the subject of the petition is a proper item for the agenda of a formal hearing and, if so, whether a special meeting of the Board must be called for the hearing.

     4. If a member of the Board evaluates the petition as presenting a cause for a disciplinary action involving a revocation, suspension or probation, the petitioner must file a formal complaint and the Board will notify the petitioner of the requirements for making the complaint.

     5. If the evaluation of the petition is that it does not present a cause for a disciplinary action involving a revocation, suspension or probation and if the subject matter of the petition is within the jurisdiction of the Board, the petition will be placed on the agenda as an item of new business for discussion.
