NRS 482.38279 - Determination that charitable organization failed to comply with certain provisions or standards; organization may request hearing; Commission on Special License Plates to issue decision; authority of Commission to order Department to suspend collection of additional fees or production of design of special license plate.

1. If the Commission on Special License Plates determines that a charitable organization has failed to comply with one or more of the provisions of NRS 482.38277 or if, in a report provided to the Commission by the Legislative Auditor pursuant to NRS 482.38278, the Legislative Auditor determines that a charitable organization has committed improper practices of financial administration, has filed with the Commission or the Department forms or records that are inadequate or inaccurate, or has failed to use adequate methods and procedures to ensure that all money received in the form of additional fees is expended solely for the benefit of the intended recipient, the Commission shall notify the charitable organization of that determination.

2. A charitable organization may request in writing a hearing, within 20 days after receiving notification pursuant to subsection 1, to respond to the determinations of the Commission or Legislative Auditor. The hearing must be held not later than 30 days after the receipt of the request for a hearing unless the parties, by written stipulation, agree to extend the time.

3. The Commission shall issue a decision, immediately after the hearing, on whether to uphold the original determination of the Commission or the Legislative Auditor or to overturn that determination. The decision of the Commission pursuant to this subsection is a final decision for purposes of judicial review.

4. If the Commission upholds its own determination that a charitable organization has failed to comply with one or more of the provisions of NRS 482.38277 or upholds the determination of the Legislative Auditor that the organization has committed improper practices of financial administration, has filed with the Commission or the Department forms or records that are inadequate or inaccurate, or has failed to use adequate methods and procedures to ensure that all money received in the form of additional fees is expended solely for the benefit of the intended recipient, the Commission may require that the Department:

(a) Suspend the collection of all additional fees collected on behalf of the charitable organization; and

(b) Suspend production of the particular design of special license plates from which the charitable organization receives additional fees, if the Department is still producing that design.
