Section 246-72-050. Cooperation with investigation.

(1) The secretary will notify an applicant or credential holder upon receipt of a complaint, except when the notification would impede an effective investigation. Upon request by the secretary, the applicant or credential holder shall submit a written statement about that complaint.

(2) An applicant or certificate holder must produce documents, records, or other items that are within his or her possession or control within twenty-one calendar days of service of a request by the secretary. If the twenty-one calendar day limit results in a hardship upon the applicant or credential holder, he or she may request, for good cause, an extension not to exceed thirty additional calendar days.

(3) Failure to submit a full and complete written statement explaining the matter contained in a complaint pursuant to subsection (1) of this section or to comply with a request made pursuant to subsection (2) of this section may result in action by the secretary to refuse the application or revoke or suspend the certificate.
