Nevada AB264 revises procedures for applicants denied professional or occupational licenses based on moral character or criminal history.

Nevada AB264 revises provisions relating to the issuance of professional and occupational licenses. It requires licensing agencies to provide written notice within 10 days if they deny an application based on moral character or criminal history. The applicant can then petition the district court for judicial review within 30 days. The licensing agency must prove by clear and convincing evidence that issuing the license would pose a risk to public health or safety. If the agency fails to meet this burden, the court must order the agency to issue the license.
