NAC637A.130. Withdrawal of sponsor.

     1. A licensee who sponsors an apprentice may relieve himself or herself of further responsibility by returning the certificate of registration of the apprentice to the Board by registered mail, with a letter explaining fully the circumstances under which the sponsorship of the apprentice is being withdrawn. If the certificate cannot be returned, a full explanation must be included in the letter.

     2. Any apprentice whose certificate is revoked because of the withdrawal of a sponsor for reasons of misconduct may request a hearing by the Board and, if a majority of the members present find him or her blameless of the charges, he or she may seek sponsorship with the same or another licensee, and on application by a new sponsor, his or her certificate may be returned with no payment of a fee or penalty. If the Board finds him or her guilty, it may revoke or suspend the certificate for a specified time.

     3. Two official disciplinary actions within any 12-month period is cause for the Board to refuse issuance of a permanent license to an apprentice.
