The Nevada Real Estate Commission issues a final order against broker Vivian, including a $10,000 civil penalty and a two-year license suspension. Vivian files a timely petition for judicial review in the district court. While the case is pending, Vivian continues to operate her brokerage. NRED seeks to enforce the suspension immediately. Under Nevada administrative law, what is the default effect of filing a petition for judicial review on the Commission's order?

Correct Answer

B) Filing a petition for judicial review does not automatically stay the Commission's order; Vivian must separately seek a stay from the district court, and operating without a valid license during this period would violate NRS Chapter 645

Under the Nevada Administrative Procedure Act (NRS 233B.140), filing a petition for judicial review does NOT automatically stay a final agency order. The petitioner must separately apply to the district court for a stay of the agency's order pending judicial review. If Vivian continues to operate her brokerage without a valid license (because her suspension is in effect), she would be engaging in unlicensed activity in violation of NRS Chapter 645, exposing her to additional penalties. She must obtain an affirmative court order staying the suspension to lawfully continue operating.

Answer Options
A
Filing a petition for judicial review automatically stays the Commission's order, so Vivian may lawfully continue operating her brokerage until the court rules
B
Filing a petition for judicial review does not automatically stay the Commission's order; Vivian must separately seek a stay from the district court, and operating without a valid license during this period would violate NRS Chapter 645
C
The Commission's order is automatically stayed for 30 days after the petition is filed, giving Vivian time to seek a court-ordered stay before enforcement begins
D
NRED may not enforce the suspension while judicial review is pending because enforcement would render the appeal moot under Nevada administrative law
