Section 116A.140 - Renewal of certificate1. A certificate must be renewed biennially. A renewed certificate becomes effective on the first day of the month immediately following the date on which the previous certificate expires.2. Except as otherwise provided by subsection 4, the Division shall renew a certificate if the applicant submits to the Division before the expiration of the certificate: (a) A completed application on a form prescribed by the Division;(b) The statement described in NRS 116A.440;(c) The fee required by NAC 116A.515 for renewal; and(d) Documentation of the successful completion by the applicant of at least 18 hours of continuing education in courses approved by the Commission within the 2 years immediately preceding the date on which the certificate expires. At least 3 hours of the continuing education must consist of instruction relating to this chapter, chapter 116 of NAC and chapters 116, 116A and 116B of NRS, with an emphasis on recent changes to those chapters.3. If the holder of a certificate fails to complete the required hours of continuing education or fails to file an application for the renewal of the certificate before it expires, the holder may not engage in the management of a common-interest community until the certificate is reinstated.4. The Division may refuse to renew a certificate if: (a) The applicant has been convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, forgery, embezzlement, obtaining money under false pretenses, larceny, extortion, conspiracy to defraud or possessing for the purpose of sale any controlled substance or any crime involving moral turpitude;(b) The applicant fails to complete, sign and submit the statement required pursuant to NRS 116A.440;(c) The Division receives a copy of a court order issued pursuant to NRS 425.540 that provides for the suspension of all professional certificates and permits issued to the applicant; or(d) The applicant has engaged in conduct which is grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to NAC 116A.355 and has been disciplined by the Division or Commission.5. If the Division, after an application to renew a certificate in proper form has been filed, accompanied by the proper fees, refuses to renew the certificate, it shall give notice of this fact to the applicant within 15 days after the ruling, order or decision. The applicant may file a written request for a hearing before the Commission pursuant to the procedures set forth in NAC 116A.135.6. If the Division refuses to renew a certificate because it receives a copy of a court order issued pursuant to NRS 425.540 that provides for the suspension of all professional certificates and permits issued to the applicant, the Division shall reinstate the certificate if the Division receives a letter issued by the district attorney or other public agency pursuant to NRS 425.550 to the person whose certificate was suspended stating that the person has complied with the subpoena or warrant or has satisfied the arrearage pursuant to NRS 425.560.Nev.
