Nevada Revised Statutes Title 56. Regulation of Cannabis § 678A.590. Hearings: Written decision and order of Board; rehearings

1. Within 60 days after the hearing of a contested matter, the Board shall render a written decision on the merits. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5 of NRS 233B.121, the written decision must contain findings of fact and conclusions of law which are separately stated, a determination of the issues presented and the penalty to be imposed, if any. If the Board determines that the licensee or registrant has violated any provision of this title or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the written decision must set forth the determination of the Board as to whether any of the mitigating circumstances required to be considered by the Board pursuant to NRS 678A.600 exist and, if so, the weight given to each mitigating circumstance in determining the appropriate action to be taken pursuant to that section. The Board shall thereafter make and enter its written order in conformity to its decision. No member of the Board who did not hear the evidence may vote on the decision. The affirmative votes of a majority of the whole Board are required to impose any penalty. Copies of the decision and order must be served on the parties personally or sent to them by registered or certified mail. The decision is effective upon such service, unless the Board orders otherwise.

2. The Board may, upon motion made within 15 days after service of a decision and order, order a rehearing before the Board upon such terms and conditions as it may deem just and proper if a petition for judicial review of the decision and order has not been filed. The motion must not be granted except upon a showing that there is additional evidence which is material and necessary and reasonably calculated to change the decision of the Board, and that sufficient reason existed for failure to present the evidence at the hearing of the Board. The motion must be supported by an affidavit of the moving party or his or her counsel showing with particularity the materiality and necessity of the additional evidence and the reason why it was not introduced at the hearing. Upon rehearing, rebuttal evidence to the additional evidence must be permitted. After rehearing, the Board may modify its decision and order as the additional evidence may warrant.
