1. Except as otherwise provided in chapters 624 and 648 of NRS, a regulatory body shall develop and implement a process by which a person with a criminal history may petition the regulatory body to review the criminal history of the person to determine if the person’s criminal history will disqualify the person from obtaining a license from the regulatory body. 2. Not later than 90 days after a petition is submitted to a regulatory body pursuant to subsection 1, a regulatory body shall inform the person of the determination of the regulatory body of whether the person’s criminal history will disqualify the person from obtaining a license. A regulatory body is not bound by its determination of disqualification or qualification and may rescind such a determination at any time. 3. A regulatory body may provide instructions to a person who receives a determination of disqualification to remedy the determination of disqualification. A person may resubmit a petition pursuant to subsection 1 not earlier than 6 months after receiving instructions pursuant to this subsection if the person remedies the determination of disqualification. 4. A person with a criminal history may petition the regulatory body at any time, including, without limitation, before obtaining any education or paying any fee required to obtain a license from the regulatory body. 5. A person may submit a new petition to the regulatory body not earlier than 2 years after the final determination of the initial petition submitted to the regulatory body. 6. A regulatory body may impose a fee of up to $50 upon the person to fund the administrative costs in complying with the provisions of this section. A regulatory body may waive such fees or allow such fees to be covered by funds from a scholarship or grant. 7. A regulatory body may post on its Internet website: (a) The requirements to obtain a license from the regulatory body; and (b) A list of crimes, if any, that would disqualify a person from obtaining a license from the regulatory body. 8. A regulatory body may request the criminal history record of a person who petitions the regulatory body for a determination pursuant to subsection 1. To the extent consistent with federal law, if the regulatory body makes such a request of a person, the regulatory body shall require the person to submit his or her criminal history record which includes a report from: (a) The Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History; and (b) The Federal Bureau of Investigation. 9. A person who petitions a regulatory body for a determination pursuant to subsection 1 shall not submit false or misleading information to the regulatory body.
