A contractor receives a Notice of Hearing from the ROC for alleged license violations. How many days does the contractor have to request a hearing?
Correct Answer
A) 20 days
Under Arizona administrative procedures, contractors have 20 days from receipt of a Notice of Hearing to request a formal hearing.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under Arizona administrative procedures governing the Registrar of Contractors (ROC), a licensee who receives a Notice of Hearing has 20 days from receipt to formally request a hearing. Missing this deadline can result in a default order against the contractor.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: 10 days
10 days is too short. While some administrative notices carry a 10-day window, the ROC hearing request period is 20 days.
Option C: 15 days
15 days is not the correct ROC hearing request deadline. The Arizona administrative code specifies 20 days.
Option D: 30 days
30 days is longer than the actual 20-day window and would incorrectly suggest contractors have more time than the law allows.
Memory Technique
ROC = 20 days. Think 'R-O-C = 20' — three letters, and 20 is the third multiple of the number of letters (3 letters × ~7 = 20). Or simply: 'ROC gives you 20 days to Rock the hearing.'
