  1. If the holder of a license or certificate of registration to operate a cosmetological establishment, an establishment for hair braiding or a facility in which threading is conducted or any other licensee or a holder of a certificate of registration issued pursuant to this chapter is charged with or cited for prostitution in violation of NRS 201.354 or any other sexual offense, the appropriate law enforcement agency shall report the charge or citation to the Executive Director of the Board. Upon receiving such a report, the Executive Director shall immediately forward the report to the Board or the Chair of the Board. The Board must meet as soon as practicable to consider the report. If the Board finds that the health, safety or welfare of the public imperatively require emergency action and issues a cease and desist order, the Executive Director shall immediately send the cease and desist order by certified mail to the licensee or holder of the certificate of registration. The temporary suspension of the license or certificate of registration is effective immediately after the licensee or holder of the certificate of registration receives notice of the cease and desist order and must not exceed 15 business days. The licensee or holder of the certificate of registration may file a written request for a hearing to challenge the necessity of the temporary suspension. The written request must be filed not later than 10 business days after the date on which the Executive Director mails the cease and desist order. If the licensee or holder of the certificate of registration:  (a) Files a timely written request for a hearing, the Board shall extend the temporary suspension until a hearing is held. The Board shall hold a hearing and render a final decision regarding the necessity of the temporary suspension as promptly as is practicable but not later than 15 business days after the date on which the Board receives the written request. After holding such a hearing, the Board may extend the period of the temporary suspension if the Board finds, for good cause shown, that such action is necessary to protect the health, safety or welfare of the public pending proceedings for disciplinary action.  (b) Does not file a timely written request for a hearing and the Board wants to consider extending the period of the temporary suspension, the Board shall schedule a hearing and notify the licensee or holder of the certificate of registration immediately by certified mail of the date of the hearing. The hearing must be held and a final decision rendered regarding whether to extend the period of the temporary suspension as promptly as is practicable but not later than 15 business days after the date on which the Executive Director mails the cease and desist order. After holding such a hearing, the Board may extend the period of the temporary suspension if the Board finds, for good cause shown, that such action is necessary to protect the health, safety or welfare of the public pending proceedings for disciplinary action.  2. For purposes of this section, a person is deemed to have notice of a temporary suspension of his or her license or certificate of registration:  (a) On the date on which the notice is personally delivered to the person; or  (b) If the notice is mailed, 3 days after the date on which the notice is mailed by certified mail to the last known business or residential address of the person.
