NAC644.535. Informal hearings; agreement of licensee to formal hearing if mediation is not successful.

     1. The Board may hold an informal hearing to:

     (a) Mediate a problem;

     (b) Discuss a factual or legal question concerning the propriety of certain conduct;

     (c) Warn a licensee that certain conduct would be in violation of the law or regulations of the Board; or

     (d) Determine the appropriateness of holding a formal hearing on any matter.

     2. The Board will not engage in mediation in any matter unless the licensee agrees in advance that, if the mediation is not successful, the Board may hold a formal hearing on the matter and may decide the case. By agreeing to mediation, the licensee waives any right to object to the future participation of any Board member in the matter based on the Board member’s prior knowledge of the matter gained through the mediation or the Board member’s statements or actions in the mediation.
