When the Director requests a hearing, how many days in advance must written notice be submitted?

When the Director requests a hearing, the law mandates that written notice must be submitted at least 14 days in advance. This requirement ensures that all parties involved have sufficient time to prepare for the hearing, thereby promoting fairness and transparency in the proceedings. It allows affected parties to gather information, consult with legal counsel, and develop their arguments or defenses in response to the matters being addressed. Adhering to this timeline is crucial for maintaining procedural integrity and ensuring that the hearing can be conducted effectively.
