      CHALLENGE OR WITHDRAWAL.
         1.  A challenge is valid if it meets the criteria in section
      48A.14, subsections 1, 2, and 3.
         2.  Upon receipt of a challenge which is not valid, the
      commissioner shall notify the challenger of the reason the challenge
      is not valid, and shall take no further action regarding the
      challenge.
         3.  Upon receipt of a valid challenge, the commissioner shall,
      within five working days, notify the challenged registrant and the
      challenger of the date, time, and place of a hearing on the matter of
      the challenge, to be held not less than twenty nor more than thirty
      days from the commissioner's receipt of the challenge.  The notice of
      a hearing shall include a copy of the challenge, and shall advise the
      challenged registrant that the registrant may personally appear at
      the hearing, or may submit to the commissioner before the hearing
      evidence, documentation, or statements refuting the challenge.
         4.  The notice prescribed by subsection 3 shall be sent by first
      class forwardable mail to the challenged registrant at the
      registrant's most recent mailing address according to the
      registration records.
         5.  If the challenge is withdrawn, the commissioner shall
      immediately notify the challenged registrant of the withdrawal, and
      shall cancel the scheduled hearing.
         6.  If the challenged registrant notifies the commissioner that
      the challenged registrant wishes to appear in person but is unable to
      do so on the date scheduled, the commissioner may reschedule the
      hearing.
