Denial, suspension or revocation of license or imposition of sanctions: Notice; appeal; adoption of regulations.
1. When the Health Division intends to deny, suspend or revoke a license, or impose any sanction prescribed by NRS 449.163, it shall give reasonable notice to all parties by certified mail.

2. If a person wants to contest the action of the Health Division, he must file an appeal pursuant to regulations adopted by the Board.
3. Upon receiving notice of an appeal, the Health Division shall hold a hearing pursuant to regulations adopted by the Board.
