(a) The department is entitled to rely on the mailing
and electronic mail address currently on file for all purposes relating
to notification. The failure to maintain a current mailing and electronic
mail address with the department is not a defense to any action based
on the registrant's, statutory agent's, or applicant's failure to
respond.
(b) Service upon the registrant, applicant or statutory
agents of notice is complete and receipt is presumed upon the date
the notice is sent, if sent before 5:00 p.m. by facsimile or electronic
mail, and the department receives confirmation of the transmission.
If the notice is received after 5:00 p.m. or on a weekend or holiday,
it is considered received on the next business day. Receipt is presumed
three (3) days following the date sent, if by regular United States
mail.
(c) The department shall notify the applicant of the
denial of an application for a certificate of registration or renewal
application for a certificate of registration and the registrant or
statutory agent of advisory letters, reprimands, suspensions, or revocations
of certificates of registration by certified mail, return receipt
requested.
