NRS 370.379 Suspension or revocation of license; reinstatement of license.

1. The Department may suspend or revoke the license of a retail or wholesale dealer who violates the provisions of NRS 370.371 to 370.379, inclusive, or any regulation adopted thereunder, after notice to the licensee and a hearing as prescribed by the Department.

2. The Department, upon a finding that the licensee has failed to comply with any provision of NRS 370.371 to 370.379, inclusive, or any regulation adopted by the Executive Director, shall, in the case of a first offender, suspend the license of the licensee for not less than 5 nor more than 20 consecutive business days. If the Department finds the offender has been guilty of willful and persistent violations, it may suspend for not more than 6 months or revoke the person's license.

3. A person whose license has been revoked may apply to the Department at the end of 1 year for a reinstatement of the license. The Department may reinstate the license if the Department determines that the licensee will comply within the provisions of this chapter and the regulations adopted by the Department.

4. A person whose license has been suspended or revoked shall not sell cigarettes or permit cigarettes to be sold during the period of suspension or revocation on the premises occupied by the person or upon other premises controlled by the person. The expiration, transfer, surrender, continuance, renewal or extension of a license issued pursuant to this chapter does not bar or abate any disciplinary proceedings or action.
