When must the licensee submit a written request for a civil penalty review after receiving the notice?

The correct timeframe for a licensee to submit a written request for a civil penalty review after receiving the notice is 15 business days. This requirement is designed to ensure that the licensee has a reasonable opportunity to respond to the notice but also establishes a firm deadline within which the review request must be made.

Submitting the request within this period allows the licensing authority to consider any mitigating circumstances or arguments presented by the licensee regarding the civil penalty. This timeframe reflects a balance between providing adequate time for a response while maintaining the authority’s need to handle cases efficiently. The emphasis on "business days" specifies that weekends and public holidays are excluded, further clarifying the timeline for the licensee.

Understanding this timeline is crucial for compliance with regulatory requirements and ensuring that the licensee's rights are protected during the review process.
