Section 444.00937 - Grounds for suspension or revocation of permit; opportunity for hearing; request for reinspection; reinstatement of permit; permanent revocation; conduct of hearing

1. The health authority may suspend a permit for failure of the permit holder or invasive body decoration operator to comply with any provision of NAC 444.00701 to 444.00939, inclusive.

2. If a permit holder or invasive body decoration operator has failed to comply with any notice issued under the provisions of NAC 444.00701 to 444.00939, inclusive, the permit holder or operator must be notified in writing that the permit is, upon service of the notice, immediately suspended. The notice issued pursuant to this subsection must contain a statement informing the permit holder or operator that an opportunity for a hearing will be provided if a written request for a hearing is filed by the permit holder or operator with the health authority.

3. A permit may be revoked without notice if the health authority determines that a substantial and immediate hazard to the public health exists.

4. Any person whose permit has been suspended may, at any time, submit a written request for a reinspection of the establishment. Within 10 days after receipt of a written request, including a statement signed by the applicant that in his or her opinion the conditions causing suspension of the permit have been corrected, the health authority must reinspect the establishment. If the health authority finds that the establishment is in compliance with the requirements of NAC 444.00701 to 444.00939, inclusive, the permit must be reinstated

5. For serious or repeated violations of any of the requirements of NAC 444.00701 to 444.00939, inclusive, or for interference with a representative of the health authority in the performance of his or her duties, a permit may be permanently revoked after an opportunity for a hearing has been provided by the health authority. Before taking such an action, the health authority shall notify the permit holder in writing, stating the reasons for which the permit is subject to revocation and advising the permit holder of the requirements for filing a request for a hearing. A permit may be suspended for cause pending a revocation hearing

6. A hearing conducted pursuant to this section must be conducted by the health authority at a time and place designated by the health authority. Based upon the record of the hearing, the health authority shall make a finding and may sustain, modify or rescind any official notice or order considered in the hearing. A written report of the decision of the health authority must be furnished to the permit holder by the health authority.
