1. A person whose certificate, license,
registration or permit has been suspended by the Board in accordance with NRS 639.211 may petition the Board for
reinstatement of the certificate, license, registration or permit after
restoration or declaration of sanity or mental competence.
2. The Board shall not restore any
suspended certificate, license, registration or permit until it has found, in a
hearing held for that purpose, that with due regard for the public interest the
petitioners right to practice, or to perform the duties and conduct the
business covered by the certificate, license, registration or permit, may be
safely reinstated.
3. In any such hearing the Board may
consider the results of its own investigation as well as evidence pertaining to
the petitioners restoration to sanity or mental competence. The affirmative
vote of a majority of Board members is necessary to restore the certificate,
license, registration or permit. The Board may require, before reinstatement,
the petitioner to pass an examination, either oral or written, to determine the
petitioners present fitness to resume his or her practice or conduct his or
her business in the public interest.
4. In any hearing, conducted for the
purpose of reinstating any certificate, license, registration or permit, the
Board may employ expert witnesses considered necessary in order to determine
the competency and ability of the petitioner.
5. The Board may grant or deny, without a
hearing or argument, any petition for reinstatement filed pursuant to this
section, where the petitioner has been afforded a hearing upon any petition
filed pursuant to this section within a period of 2 years immediately preceding
the filing of the new petition.
