Order to cease activities conducted without permit

  • hearing
  • agreement in lieu of order.

1.

The Administrator may issue an order directing a developer to cease engaging in activities for which the developer has not received a permit under this chapter or conducting activities in a manner not in compliance with the terms of his or her permit.

2.

The order to cease must be in writing and must state that, in the opinion of the Administrator, the developer has not been issued a permit for the activity or the terms of the permit do not allow the developer to conduct the activity in that manner. The developer shall not engage in any activity regulated by this chapter after the developer receives such an order.

3.

Within 30 days after receiving such an order, a developer may file a verified petition with the Administrator for a hearing. The Administrator shall hold a hearing within 30 days after the petition is filed. If the Administrator fails to hold a hearing within 30 days, or does not render a written decision within 45 days after the final hearing, the order to cease is rescinded.

4.

If the decision of the Administrator after a hearing is against the person ordered to cease, the person may obtain judicial review from that decision by filing, within 30 days after the date on which the decision was issued, a petition in the district court for the county in which the person conducted the activity. The burden of proof is on the petitioner. The court shall consider the decision of the Administrator which is being reviewed and shall consider and determine solely whether there has been an abuse of discretion on the part of the Administrator in making the decision.

5.

In lieu of the issuance of an order to cease such activities, the Administrator may enter into an agreement with the developer in which the developer agrees to:

(a)

Discontinue the activities that are not in compliance with this chapter;

(b)

Pay all costs incurred by the Administrator in investigating the developer’s activities and conducting any necessary hearings; and

(c)

Return to the purchasers any money or property which the developer acquired through such violations.
Ê Except as otherwise provided in NRS 239.0115, the terms of such an agreement are confidential unless violated by the developer.
