1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 425.540, the procedure set forth in this section and NRS 645C.510 and 645C.520 must be followed before the Commission revokes, suspends or denies the renewal of a certificate, license or registration card.

2. Upon the initiation of a complaint by the Administrator, the Administrator shall set the matter for a hearing and schedule a date for the hearing before the Commission. The appraiser or intern is entitled to appear at the hearing in person and to be represented by counsel.

3. The Commission shall hold the hearing within 90 days after the filing of a complaint by the Administrator. The hearing may be continued by the Commission upon its own motion, or at the discretion of the Commission upon the written request of the Division, appraiser or intern, for good cause shown.

4. The Division shall give written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing, together with a copy of the complaint and copies of all communications, reports, affidavits or depositions in the possession of the Division relevant to the complaint, to the appraiser or intern not less than 30 days before the hearing. The Division may present evidence it obtains after the notice was given only if it shows that the evidence was not available upon diligent investigation before the notice was given and that the evidence was given or communicated to the appraiser or intern immediately after it was obtained.

5. Notice pursuant to this section is deemed to be given upon personal delivery to the appraiser or intern, or upon mailing by certified mail to his or her last known address. If the complaint is against an intern, the Division shall also notify the appraiser with whom the intern is associated by mailing an exact statement of the charges, and the date, time and place of the hearing, by certified mail to the last known address of the appraiser.
