(b) Proof of the employment of the applicant at the time the application is filed. An applicant for a license as a responsible managing employee shall submit proof of 2 years’ experience within the previous 4 years in the business in which the applicant is seeking to be licensed as a responsible managing employee.

(c) Proof of the applicant’s good character and reputation and of his fitness to act as a salesman or responsible managing employee.

(d) A complete set of his fingerprints and written permission authorizing the Administrator to forward those fingerprints to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its report.

2. Within 60 days after receipt of a complete application, the Division shall issue or deny the license.

3. The Administrator may issue a provisional license pending receipt of the report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Upon receipt of the report and a determination by the Administrator that the applicant is qualified, the Administrator shall issue to the applicant a license as a salesman or a responsible managing employee. The license must contain the licensee’s name and the address of his employer’s place of business.

4. Each license is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance and may be renewed for like consecutive periods upon application to and approval by the Division.

6. A license issued pursuant to this section may be transferred to another licensed employer upon application and the payment of a transfer fee of $10. When a salesman or responsible managing employee holding a current license leaves the employment of one dealer, rebuilder, serviceman or installer for that of another, the new employer may employ the salesman or responsible managing employee pending the transfer of the license if the transfer is completed within 10 days.

7. A license issued pursuant to this section must be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises of the employer for whom the holder of the license is licensed.

8. If a salesman or responsible managing employee ceases to be employed by a licensed dealer, rebuilder, serviceman or installer, his license to act as a salesman or responsible managing employee is automatically suspended and his right to act in that capacity immediately ceases, and he shall not engage in such an activity until reemployed by a licensed dealer, rebuilder, serviceman or installer. Every licensed salesman and responsible managing employee shall report in writing to the Division every change in his place of employment or termination of employment within 5 days of the date of making the change.
