(2) If the person is licensed pursuant to NRS 618.795, revoke his or her license and require the person to fulfill certain training or educational requirements to have the license reinstated.
Any penalty imposed pursuant to this section does not relieve the person from criminal prosecution for engaging in the control of asbestos without a license, nor from the imposition of a penalty pursuant to NRS 445B.640.
2. If the license of a contractor for projects for the control of asbestos is revoked pursuant to this section and the owner of a building or structure upon which the contractor is engaged in a project employs another licensed contractor to complete the project, the original contractor may not bring an action against the owner of the building or structure for breach of contract or damages based on the employment of another contractor.
