Following an administrative hearing regarding a complaint against a license, how many days does the administrative law judge have to issue a recommendation to the ROC?

After an administrative hearing concerning a complaint against a contractor's license, the administrative law judge is required to issue a recommendation to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) within a specific timeframe, which is 20 days. This timeframe ensures that the process remains timely and efficient, allowing all parties involved to move forward based on the judge's findings. The 20-day requirement is established to maintain a balance between thoroughness in reviewing the case and the necessity for prompt resolution to uphold standards in contractor licensing and regulation. This structured timeline helps the ROC to effectively manage licensing complaints and enforce regulations within the industry.
