During what timeframe must a licensee request a hearing following an administrative order?

A licensee must request a hearing within 30 days following an administrative order. This timeframe is essential because it establishes a clear and reasonable period for the licensee to respond to the administrative order, ensuring that due process is upheld. The 30-day window allows the individual to gather any necessary information, consult with legal representation if desired, and prepare a response to the allegations outlined in the order.

By maintaining this specific timeframe, regulatory bodies ensure that cases are handled promptly and efficiently. This helps to minimize delays in the regulatory process and reinforces the seriousness with which administrative orders are treated in the context of maintaining standards in the mortgage industry.
