Nevada cannabis board authorizes attorney general to serve disciplinary complaint

The Nevada Cannabis Control Board on a voice vote authorized the executive director and the attorney general to serve a proposed disciplinary complaint and proceed with enforcement against an unnamed respondent.

Executive Director Michael Miles summarized the matter for the board, saying the attorney general had investigated suspected regulatory violations and drafted a complaint under NRS 678.510. He told members the proposed complaint arises from regulatory actions in 2025 and includes multiple alleged violations across two counts. "The attorney general's office has recommended civil penalties up to $15,000 for count 1 and up to $45,000 for count 2 along with certain license conditions," Miles said.

Miles outlined the board's options under the statute: authorize the action to proceed, authorize settlement negotiations only, or decline to proceed. Chair Andre Berry moved to authorize the executive director and the attorney general's office to serve the complaint and proceed with disciplinary action; the motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice vote.

The board did not identify the respondent on the record; Miles said the proposed complaint does not contain the respondent's name or license number so as not to infringe due-process protections before a formal service. Miles also told the board the parties may settle after service, or, if no settlement is reached, the matter would proceed to a contested hearing before an administrative law judge.

The board did not provide a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript; the motion was recorded as passed. The executive director said the attorney general had recommended specific penalty ranges and license conditions but did not present a final order; any final penalties would follow further process or settlement.

The board moved on to the next agenda item after the vote.
