What is the timeframe for a licensee to respond in writing to the board after being notified of a complaint?

In Kentucky, the timeframe for a licensee to respond in writing to the board after being notified of a complaint is set at 20 days. This response period is critical as it ensures that the board receives timely communication from the licensee regarding the allegations made against them. Adhering to this 20-day period is necessary for the licensee to adequately prepare and present their case, as well as to comply with the regulatory processes established by the governing body. This timeframe reflects a balance between allowing the licensee sufficient time to formulate a response while maintaining the efficiency of the board’s investigative process.
