Once I apply for a
variance from a regulation, how do I know which meeting of the State Board of
Health my variance request will be heard?
|

As soon as your
application for a variance is received by the Nevada Division of Public and
Behavioral Health, your request will be assigned a Case Number and forwarded
to the appropriate bureau for investigation and processing. Most likely,
staff from the bureau will contact you for additional information regarding
your request.
Pursuant to Nevada
Administrative Code (NAC) 439.230(1), a copy of the staff report including
relevant data and a recommendation to the State Board of Health, must be
mailed to the applicant not less than 5 days before the hearing. This report
should be accompanied by a copy of the meeting agenda.
