Administrator determines that disciplinary action is necessary, the Administrator
may take disciplinary action.

Administrators discretion the violation warrants disciplinary action, the
Administrator may take disciplinary action without seeking correction or satisfaction.

section and NRS 239.0115 , a complaint
filed with the Division, all documents and other information filed with the

investigation conducted to determine whether to initiate disciplinary action
against a licensee or other person who assumes to act in the capacity of a
licensee are confidential.

Administrator to initiate disciplinary action pursuant to this chapter and all
documents and information considered by the Administrator or a hearing officer
when determining whether to impose discipline are public records.

the findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting that order are public
records.

feasible, communicate or cooperate with or provide any documents or other
information to any other licensing board or any other agency that is
