NAC644.485. Petition to appear before the Board.

A person may petition to appear and be heard on any matter before the Board, as follows:

     1. The petitioner may use Form No. 3 or a similar form, which may be obtained from the Board. The petition must contain a brief summary of the subject matter and contain the reasons for bringing the matter before the Board.

     2. The petition must be received by the Board at least 30 business days before the meeting at which the petitioner wishes to be heard, but the Executive Director may waive this time requirement.

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

     4. If the Executive Director or member evaluates the petition as presenting a ground for a disciplinary action involving a fine, the revocation or suspension of a license, or the probation of a licensee, the petitioner must file a formal complaint, and the Executive Director shall notify the petitioner of the requirements for making the complaint.

     5. If the evaluation results in a determination that there is no possibility for a fine, the revocation or suspension of a license, or the probation of a licensee, and if the item is a subject within the jurisdiction of the Board, the matter stated in the petition will be placed on the agenda as an item of new business for discussion and action.
