Section 624.600 - Examinations1. If the Board requires an applicant or his or her qualified employee to take an examination, he or she must take and pass an examination administered by an independent testing service.2. The Board will waive the examination if the applicant or his or her qualified employee: (a) Has taken and passed an examination for licensing contractors that is:(1) Offered by an endorsing state and approved by the Board pursuant to section 1; or(2) Accredited by the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies, if the Board determines that the examination for licensing contractors that is accredited by the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies is substantially equivalent to the examination required pursuant to subsection 1; and(b) Provides a completed application pursuant to NAC 624.590 on the form provided by the Board that includes, without limitation: (1) The endorsing state verifying on a form provided by the Board that the applicant or his or her qualified employee has taken and passed an examination that is approved by the Board pursuant to section 1; or(2) The transcript of an examination that is accredited by the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies which shows that the applicant or his or her qualified employee has taken and passed such an examination.3. The Board may waive the examination if it is satisfied that the experience and qualifications of the applicant or qualified employee justify granting the license without examination.4. Following any waiting period established by the independent testing service, an applicant or the qualified employee may retake the examination. If the applicant or qualified employee fails a second examination, he or she may take it a third time. The person qualifying for the applicant must take and pass the examination within 6 months after the filing of the application. If he or she fails the third examination, the application becomes void. The applicant may apply again with a new application and fee 30 days or more after the date of the last examination.5. As used in this section, "endorsing state" means any state or territory in the United States, or the District of Columbia, that the Board determines to have requirements for licensing contractors which are substantially equivalent to the requirements for licensing contractors in this State pursuant to section 1 of this regulation.Nev.
