What happens if you contest a citation through a written request?

When you contest a citation through a written request, the process involves scheduling a hearing to discuss the citation's validity. According to California Chiropractic Law, a hearing must be held within a specified timeframe to ensure that the rights of practitioners are recognized and that they have an opportunity to present their case. Typically, this hearing is arranged within 30 days of the contesting request.

This process is designed to provide due process to the practitioner and allows them to argue their position regarding the citation. It emphasizes the importance of fairness in administrative procedures and ensures that any penalties or corrections are well-founded and justified after consideration and examination during the hearing.
