Si eres un contratista en Nevada y eres condenado por un crimen, estás sujeto a acciones disciplinarias por parte de la Junta de Contratistas del Estado de Nevada (NSCB). Por lo tanto, es importante contratar a un abogado de defensa criminal lo antes posible después de tu arresto para luchar contra los cargos.
Buena conducta moral
La ley de Nevada requiere que los contratistas con licencia “posean buena conducta”. La NSCB puede establecer falta de conducta cuando has sido condenado en Nevada o en otro estado por un crimen que demuestre falta de aptitud para actuar como contratista. Estos incluyen cualquier:
- delito grave o
- crimen que involucre mala conducta moral (como delitos de violencia, fraude o robo).
Las faltas menores no deberían amenazar tu licencia de contratista.
Acciones disciplinarias
Dependiendo de la gravedad de tu condena criminal, la NSCB puede imponer acciones disciplinarias como:
- revocar tu licencia
- suspender tu licencia
- negar la renovación de tu licencia
- emitir una reprimenda pública
- aumentar la cantidad de fianza o depósito en efectivo en tu licencia
- imponer límites en el campo, alcance y límite monetario de tu licencia
- imponer el pago de una multa
- imponer el pago de una restitución
- ordenarte tomar medidas correctivas
Luchar contra las acciones disciplinarias
Como contratista en Nevada, tienes derecho a una audiencia administrativa si la NSCB está considerando suspender o revocar tu licencia. Estas audiencias son como un mini juicio donde tú o tu abogado pueden presentar pruebas en tu defensa y argumentar por qué no deberías ser disciplinado.
Tenga en cuenta que para que el NSCB tome medidas disciplinarias, su condena debe haber sido confirmada en apelación o debe haber transcurrido el tiempo para apelar.
Contratar sin licencia
Si su licencia de contratista es suspendida o revocada en Nevada, debe detener el trabajo hasta obtener una nueva licencia. Es un delito según NRS 624.700 continuar contratando, como lo ilustra esta tabla:
Contratar sin licencia | Sanciones de Nevada |
Primera infracción | Delito menor:
|
Segunda infracción | Delito mayor:
|
Infracción posterior | Delito grave de categoría E:
|
Además, ser condenado por contratar sin licencia probablemente le impedirá obtener una licencia de contratista en Nevada en el futuro.
