Renewal of certificate; continuing education or training; suspension of certificate; reinstatement. [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. To renew a certificate of registration a court reporter must:
(a) Apply to the Board for renewal;
(b) Pay the annual renewal fee prescribed by the Board; and
(c) Submit evidence to the Board of his completion of the requirements for continuing education established by the Board.
2. The Board shall adopt regulations requiring court reporters to participate in continuing education or training as a prerequisite to the renewal or restoration of a certificate. If a court reporter fails to comply with the requirements, the Board may suspend or revoke his certificate.
3. The failure of any court reporter to pay in advance the annual renewal fee which may be fixed by the Board as necessary to defray the expense of administering the provisions of this chapter results in the suspension of the reporter’s right to engage in the practice of court reporting. The suspension must not be terminated until all delinquent fees have been paid.
4. A court reporter whose certificate of registration has been suspended because of his failure to pay the renewal fee:
(a) May within 2 years thereafter have his certificate reinstated without examination upon payment of the fees set forth in paragraph (e) of subsection 1 of NRS 656.220.
(b) While he was on active military duty or in training before induction, may have his certificate renewed without payment of any fee if he files an application for renewal and an affidavit of such service with the Board within 2 years after the termination of the service.
