Nevada Revised Statutes Section 587.380 - Food and Other Commodities

License to inspect or classify agricultural products; regulations; compensation of licensees; suspension and revocation of licenses. [Effective on the date of the repeal of the federal law requiring each state to establish procedures for withholding, suspending and restricting the professional, occupational and recreational licenses for child support arrearages and for noncompliance with certain processes relating to paternity or child support proceedings.]

1. Upon satisfactory evidence of competency and the payment of a reasonable fee therefor, the State Quarantine Officer is authorized to license a person to inspect or classify agricultural products in accordance with such regulations as he may prescribe at such places as the volume of business may be found to warrant the furnishing of such inspection service, at the request of persons having an interest in such products, and to ascertain and to certify to such persons the grade, classification, quality or condition thereof, and such other pertinent facts as the State Quarantine Officer may require.

2. Licensed inspectors may charge and collect as compensation for such services only such fees as may be approved by the State Quarantine Officer.

3. The State Quarantine Officer may suspend or revoke any license whenever, after an opportunity for hearing has been afforded the licensee, the State Quarantine Officer shall determine that such licensee is incompetent or has knowingly or carelessly failed to certify correctly the grade, classification, quality or condition of any agricultural product, or has violated any provisions of NRS 587.290 to 587.450, inclusive, or of the regulations made thereunder.

4. Pending investigation, the State Quarantine Officer may suspend a license temporarily without a hearing.
