Can the time limit for responses to investigations be extended?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Depends on case

Answer: (B)

When a licensing board notifies you of an investigation, the response deadline is fixed and non-extendable. The purpose is to keep investigations moving promptly and to protect the public by preventing undue delays. Because extensions aren’t provided as a routine option, you should plan to gather your information and respond within the stated timeframe. If you miss the deadline, the board may move forward with the investigation using the information available and may take disciplinary action or other steps as appropriate. So, the time limit cannot be extended.
