Hearings under this section and appeals therefrom must be conducted in the manner prescribed in NRS 482.353 and 482.354.4. If an application for a license as an operator of a salvage pool is denied, the applicant may not submit another application for at least 6 months after the date of the denial.5. The Department may refuse to review a subsequent application for licensing submitted by any person who violates any provision of NRS 487.400 to 487.510, inclusive.6. Upon the receipt of any report or complaint that an applicant or a licensee has engaged in financial misconduct or has failed to satisfy financial obligations related to the operation of a salvage pool, the Department may require the applicant or licensee to submit to the Department an authorization for the disclosure of financial records for the business as provided in NRS 239A.090. The Department may use any information obtained pursuant to such an authorization only to determine the suitability of the applicant or licensee for initial or continued licensure. Information obtained pursuant to such an authorization may be disclosed only to those employees of the Department who are authorized to issue a license to an applicant pursuant to NRS 487.400 to 487.510, inclusive, or to determine the suitability of an applicant or a licensee for such licensure.7. For the purposes of this section, the failure to adhere to the directives of the Department advising the licensee of noncompliance with any provision of NRS 487.400 to 487.510, inclusive, or regulations of the Department, within 10 days after the receipt of those directives, is prima facie evidence of willful failure to comply.Added to NRS by 1987, 1596; A 1997, 147; 2007, 3227, 3409; 2009, 1748Added to NRS by 1987, 1596; A 1997, 147; 2007, 3227, 3409; 2009, 1748
