The Board shall adopt regulations establishing the criteria for the imposition of each sanction prescribed by NRS 449.163. These regulations must:
1. Prescribe the circumstances and manner in which each sanction applies;
2. Minimize the time between identification of a violation and the imposition of a sanction;
3. Provide for the imposition of incrementally more severe sanctions for repeated or uncorrected violations;
4. Provide for less severe sanctions for lesser violations of applicable state statutes, conditions, standards or regulations; and
5. Establish an administrative penalty to be imposed if a violation by a medical facility, facility for the dependent or a facility which is required by the regulations adopted by the Board pursuant to NRS 449.0303 to be licensed causes harm or the risk of harm to more than one person.
