§ 32644. Answer.
Currentness
(a) The respondent shall file with the Board an answer to the complaint within 20 days or at a time set by the Board agent following the date of service of the complaint. Service and proof of service of the answer pursuant to Section 32140 are required. If a formal hearing is set less than 20 days after the complaint is served, the answer shall be filed no later than the date of hearing stated in the notice of hearing or as otherwise directed by the Board agent. Amended complaints served after the answer is filed shall be deemed denied, except for those matters which were admitted in the answer and which have not been changed in the amended complaint.
(b) The answer shall be in writing, signed by the party or its agent and contain the following information:
(1) The case number appearing on the complaint;
(2) The name of the charging party;
(3) The name, address, telephone number and any affiliation of the respondent;
(4) The name, address, telephone number and capacity of any agent of the respondent to be contacted;
(5) A specific admission or denial of each allegation contained in the complaint. If the respondent does not have knowledge of information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of a particular allegation, the respondent shall so state and such statement shall operate as a denial of the allegation;
(6) A statement of any affirmative defense;
(7) Notwithstanding the Code of Civil Procedure Section 446, a declaration under penalty of perjury that the answer is true and complete to the best of the respondent's knowledge and belief.
(c) If the respondent fails to file an answer as provided in this section, the Board may find such failure constitutes an admission of the truth of the material facts alleged in the charge and a waiver of respondent's right to a hearing.
