Section 240.470 - Failure to appear

1. If a party fails to appear at a hearing scheduled by the Secretary of State in a show cause order and no continuance has been requested or granted, the Secretary of State may hear the evidence of such witnesses as may have appeared and the Secretary of State may proceed to consider the matter and dispose of it on the basis of the evidence before him or her in the manner required by NAC 240.400 to 240.540, inclusive.

2. Where, because of accident, sickness or other reasonable cause, a person fails to appear for a hearing scheduled by the Secretary of State or fails to request a continuance, the person may, within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 15 days, apply to the Secretary of State to reopen the proceedings, and the Secretary of State upon finding such cause sufficient and reasonable will immediately fix a time and place for hearing and give the person notice of the hearing. At the time and place fixed, a hearing must be held at which the person may testify in his or her own behalf or present such other evidence as may be beneficial to his or her cause. Witnesses who have previously testified are not required to appear at the second hearing unless so directed by the Secretary of State.
