1.

If a person who holds:

(a)

A license, tag or permit issued by the Department to engage in any activity authorized or regulated by this title or by a regulation adopted pursuant thereto; or

(b)

A certificate of number issued by the Department,
Ê violates a written promise to appear pursuant to a citation that was prepared manually or electronically for a violation of a provision of this title, chapter 488 of NRS or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the clerk of the court shall immediately notify the Department on a form approved by the Department.

2.

Upon receipt of notice from a court in this State of a failure to appear, the Department shall notify the person by certified mail that the person’s license, tag, permit or certificate of number is subject to suspension and allow the person 30 days after the date of mailing the notice to:

(a)

Appear in court and obtain a dismissal of the citation or complaint as provided by law;

(b)

Appear in court and, if permitted by the court, make an arrangement acceptable to the court to satisfy a judgment of conviction; or

(c)

Make a written request to the Department for a hearing.

3.

If notified by a court within 30 days after the notice of a failure to appear that a person has been allowed to make an arrangement for the satisfaction of a judgment of conviction, the Department shall remove the suspension from the record of the person. If the person subsequently defaults on his or her arrangement with the court, the court shall notify the Department which shall immediately suspend the license, tag, permit or certificate of number until the court notifies the Department that the suspension may be removed.

4.

The Department shall suspend the license, tag, permit or certificate of number of a person 31 days after the Department mails the person the notice provided for in subsection 2, unless within that period the Department receives a written request for a hearing from the person or notice from the court on a form approved by the Department that the person has appeared or the citation or complaint has been dismissed. A license, tag, permit or certificate of number so suspended remains suspended until further notice is received from the court that the person has appeared or that the case has been otherwise disposed of as provided by law.
