If the Registrar of Contractors issues a citation against a license, how many days does the licensee have to file a response?

When the Registrar of Contractors issues a citation against a license, the licensee is required to respond within a specific timeframe to ensure that their rights are preserved and to address the allegations made in the citation. The correct response time is 15 days, which allows the licensee an appropriate period to prepare and file their response to the citation.

This response period is important because it aligns with the procedural aspects of the enforcement and compliance process established by the Registrar. By designating this period, the regulations ensure that responses are filed in a timely manner, allowing for efficient handling of the citation and the potential for resolution before any further action is necessary.

The other options do not reflect the correct response period outlined by the relevant statutes, which has been established to balance the need for a timely response with the licensee's right to adequately prepare their case.
