Which of the following statements is correct about an applicant whose producer license has been...

An applicant whose New Jersey producer license has been denied is entitled to request a hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act, and if the Department still determines the applicant is not qualified after review, the matter is transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law for hearing. New Jersey Administrative Code Section 11:17-2.14 states that the Department must advise the applicant in writing that the license is denied, specify the reason for denial, and advise the applicant of the right to request a hearing. If the denial remains after review, the Department treats the matter as a contested case and sends it to the Office of Administrative Law. Option A is wrong because there is no peer-committee hearing requirement. Option C invents a three-application limit. Option D confuses denial with separate waiting-period rules that may apply to revocation or other disciplinary statuses. For license denial, the key protection is administrative due process through the OAL hearing process.
