A licensee notified of a board action regarding a violation of the rules may:

• A. Request a hearing within 30 days
• B. Ignore the notice
• C. Submit a written appeal within 60 days
• D. Ask for a delay

Answer: (A)

When a board notifies a licensee about a possible violation, the licensee has the right to contest the action and present their side. The proper response is to request a hearing within the time frame stated in the notice, which is typically 30 days. This ensures due process and allows you to provide evidence and arguments before a final decision is made. Ignoring the notice forfeits your opportunity to participate and can allow the board to proceed with the action. A written appeal within a longer window is not the standard remedy here, and asking for a delay isn’t a separate option unless an official extension is granted through the board process.
