§ 7.09.150. Revocation, suspension, limitation or nonrenewal of bathhouse licenses—Appeal.

Any license issued under this chapter is subject to suspension, revocation, limitation, or nonrenewal by the board, after notice and hearing, which notice and hearing shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 8.08 of the Clark County Code, if the board finds any of the following:

The licensee has violated any provision of this chapter or this code in its entirety;

(b)

Any grounds exist which would have warranted the denial or issuance of such license upon original application or renewal as listed in Section 7.09.130;

(c)

The business has been conducted in an unlawful manner as defined in the Clark County Code and/or the Nevada Revised Statutes or Nevada Administrative Code;

(d)

The licensee has been convicted of acts which would constitute a crime involving moral turpitude, prostitution or other sex crimes, or involving any federal, state or local law or regulation relating to the same or a similar business within the past fifteen years;

(e)

The conduct or activities of the licensee under the license constitutes a detriment to the public safety, morals, health or general welfare;

(f)

The licensee is guilty of identifying himself or herself as or implying that he or she is a member of a branch of the healing arts unless so registered in Nevada by the regulatory agency or board governing that particular profession;

(g)

The licensee has allowed their business license to be displayed in a place of business other than the business location for which it was issued or has allowed another person to use the business license;

(h)

The licensee is engaged in the business under a false or assumed name, or is impersonating another practitioner of a like or different name;

(i)

The licensee has employed any bathhouse manager, or attendant/employee who does not have a valid unexpired work card in his/her possession as required in this code;

(j)

There has been the commission of an "infamous crime against nature" as defined in NRS 201.190; or sexual conduct as defined in NRS 201.295 on the licensed premises;

(k)

The bathhouse has become disorderly or a nuisance; or

(l)

The licensee, principal, manager, or employee has failed to allow inspection by LVMPD, or any county official or has not abided by a lawful order of the Clark County health district's chief health officer or his/her designee.

Each licensee shall be responsible for the acts of their employees committed during the cause and scope of employment or affiliation. In any license suspension, limitation, revocation, or nonrenewal proceedings, the fact that the licensee did not have actual knowledge of the events complained of shall be no defense.

An appeal of any license revocation, suspension, limitation, or nonrenewal may only be made to a court of competent jurisdiction.
