1. Except where a different period is expressly provided, the Commissioner shall give written notice of the hearing not less than 20 days in advance. The notice shall state the date, time and place of the hearing and specify the matters to be considered thereat.

2. If any person is entitled to a hearing by any provision of this Code before any proposed action is taken, the notice of the hearing may be in the form of a notice to show cause, stating that the proposed action may be taken unless such person shows cause at a hearing to be held as specified in the notice why the proposed action should not be taken, and stating the basis of the proposed action.

3. If any such hearing is to be held for consideration of rules and regulations of the Commissioner, or of other matters which, under subsection 1, would otherwise require separate notices to more than 30 persons, in lieu of other notice the Commissioner may give notice of the hearing by publication thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in this state, at least once each week during the fourth and second weeks next preceding the week in which the hearing is to be held; but the Commissioner shall mail such notice to all persons who had requested the same in writing in advance and had paid to the Commissioner the reasonable amount fixed by the Commissioner to cover the cost thereof.

4. All such notices, other than published notices, shall be given as provided in NRS 679B.140.
