A business license and any license issued to a principal of the business as an applicator is suspended automatically, without action of the Director, if the proof of public liability and property damage or drift insurance filed pursuant to NRS 555.330 is cancelled, and the licenses remain suspended until the insurance is re-established. 3. If the licensee is a natural person, any licensee against whom the Director initiates disciplinary action pursuant to this section shall, within 30 days after receiving written notice of the disciplinary action from the Director and in accordance with any regulations adopted by the Department, submit to the Director any document or other information required by the Department to perform a background check of the licensee. Any document or other information submitted pursuant to this subsection must be accompanied by the appropriate fees, if any, specified in regulations adopted by the Department for performing the background check. A willful failure of a licensee to comply with the requirements of this subsection constitutes an additional ground for the revocation, suspension or modification of the license pursuant to this section.
