How many days does a cardholder have to request a hearing after receiving a notice of intent to refuse renewal of their registration card?

A cardholder has 15 days to request a hearing after receiving a notice of intent to refuse renewal of their registration card. This timeframe is significant because it ensures that cardholders have a reasonable opportunity to respond to the notice and contest the decision regarding the renewal of their registration. The 15-day period is designed to balance the right of the individual to have their case heard while maintaining an efficient process for licensing authorities. Knowing this timeframe is crucial for private investigators who may be involved in cases related to registration and compliance matters, as it impacts how they advise their clients on effectively handling such situations.
