1. The Commissioner may hold a hearing, without request by others, to determine whether an insurer or an employee of an insurer has engaged in unsuitable conduct and for any other purpose within the scope of this Code.
2. The Commissioner shall hold a hearing:
(a) If required by any other provision of this Code; or
(b) Upon written application for a hearing by a person aggrieved by any act, threatened act, or failure of the Commissioner to act, or by any report, rule, regulation or order of the Commissioner, other than an order for the holding of a hearing, or an order issued on a hearing of which the person had notice. The application must be filed in the Division within 60 days after the person knew or reasonably should have known of the act, threatened act, failure, report, rule, regulation or order, unless a different period is provided for by any other law applicable to the particular matter, in which case the other law governs.
3. Any such application for a hearing must briefly state the respects in which the applicant is so aggrieved, together with the grounds to be relied upon as a basis for the relief to be sought at the hearing.
4. If the Commissioner finds that the application is made in good faith, that the applicant would be so aggrieved if his or her grounds are established and that the grounds otherwise justify the hearing, the Commissioner shall hold the hearing within 30 days after the filing of the application, unless postponed by mutual consent. Failure to hold the hearing upon application therefor of a person entitled thereto as provided in this section constitutes a denial of the relief sought, and is the equivalent of a final order of the Commissioner on hearing for the purpose of an appeal pursuant to NRS 679B.370.
5. Pending the hearing and decision thereon, the Commissioner may suspend or postpone the effective date of the previous action of the Commissioner.
