The Nevada State Contractors Board Special Investigations Unit issued 14 citations for unlicensed contracting. The violations included engaging in business without a license and unlawful advertising.

Investigators focused on unlicensed contractors who advertised their services in the classified section of local newspapers, circulated business cards or fliers. Among those cited were painters, landscapers and masonry and tile contractors.

Those cited will appear in justice court for a hearing within the next 60 days. The first offense for contracting without a license is a misdemeanor, a gross misdemeanor for the second offense and a Class E felony for the third offense.

The Nevada State Contractors Board did not provide the names of people and/or companies that were cited.
