1. The Department may charge and collect a fee of $50 to review information pertaining to and provide feedback concerning a person’s qualifications for a license to teach or perform other educational functions, including, without limitation, records from a college or other educational institution and scores on examinations administered pursuant to the regulations adopted by the Commission, before the person applies for such a license. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the money received from the fee collected pursuant to this section must be deposited with the State Treasurer for credit to the appropriate account of the Department.

2. Upon submission and payment of the fee prescribed pursuant to subsection 1, the Department shall review the information submitted pursuant to that subsection and provide feedback to a person concerning whether the information submitted by the person is indicative of whether the person appears to satisfy all or some of the requirements for the issuance of a license and, if so, the kind of license for which it appears the person may satisfy the requirements.

3. The submission of information pursuant to subsection 1 or any feedback provided by the Department pursuant to subsection 2 is not a substitute for the application process prescribed by NRS 391.033 and does not confer upon any person a right to the issuance of a license.

4. If the Department determines from the information submitted pursuant to subsection 1 that the person satisfies the requirements for the issuance of a license, the fee prescribed pursuant to subsection 1 must be applied toward the fee prescribed for the initial issuance of a license by the Commission pursuant to NRS 391.040.
