Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 622A of NRS, in any disciplinary hearing:

Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 630A.500

  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Nolo contendere: No contest-has the same effect as a plea of guilty, as far as the criminal sentence is concerned, but may not be considered as an admission of guilt for any other purpose.
  • Plea: In a criminal case, the defendant's statement pleading "guilty" or "not guilty" in answer to the charges, a declaration made in open court.

1.  Proof of actual injury need not be established.

2.  A certified copy of the record of a court or a licensing or certifying agency showing a conviction or plea of nolo contendere or the suspension, revocation, limitation, modification, denial or surrender of a license to practice homeopathic medicine or a certificate to practice as an advanced practitioner of homeopathy or as a homeopathic assistant is conclusive evidence of its occurrence.
