What are the two options to contest a citation?

The correct response identifies the appropriate processes for contesting a citation. In the context of California Chiropractic Law, the two established options to challenge a citation are submitting a written request for a hearing and requesting an informal hearing.

A written request for a hearing is a formal method where the individual formally contests the citation and seeks a legal avenue to present their case. This process allows for a structured approach where evidence and arguments can be presented before a judge or governing board.

An informal hearing, on the other hand, offers a more flexible and less formal setting where the individual has the opportunity to discuss the citation with the relevant authorities. This process can sometimes lead to a resolution without the need for a more formalized legal process and often encourages dialogue and settlement.

Both options allow individuals to actively pursue remedy against a citation, ensuring due process and an opportunity for their voice to be heard in a professional context. Understanding these options is crucial for anyone practicing chiropractic in California to effectively navigate potential legal challenges.
