Section R13-11-108. Hearings

A.      Absent good cause, if the applicant fails to appear at a hearing, the Board may deny the good cause exception application or central registry exception application for failure to appear at the hearing. An applicant demonstrates good cause by show- ing that the applicant could not have been present at the hear- ing or requested that the hearing be rescheduled pursuant to R13-11-106, using reasonable diligence. An applicant’s failure to inform the Board of a change in address shall not constitute grounds for good cause. The Board shall determine whether good cause exists.

B.       The Board shall grant or deny a good cause exception or cen- tral registry exception within 80 days of the hearing.
