Rule 653-15.3 - Suspension or revocation of a license

The board shall suspend or revoke a license upon the receipt of a certificate from the child support unit according to the procedures set forth in the Act. This rule shall apply in addition to the procedures set forth in the Act.

(1)Service or revocation or suspension notice. Revocation or suspension notice shall be served upon the licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested; by personal service; or through authorized counsel.

(2)Effective date of revocation or suspension. The effective date of the suspension or revocation of a license, as specified in the revocation or suspension notice, shall be 60 days following service of the notice upon the licensee.

(3)Preparation and service of revocation or suspension notice. The executive director of the board is authorized to prepare and serve the revocation or suspension notice upon the licensee and is directed to notify the licensee that the license will be suspended unless the license is already suspended on other grounds. In the event that the license is on suspension, the executive director shall notify the licensee of the board's intention to revoke the license.

(4)Licensee responsible to inform board. The licensee shall keep the board informed of all court actions and all child support recovery unit action taken under or in connection with the Act. Licensees shall also provide the board copies, within seven days of filing or issuance, of all applications filed with the district court pursuant to the Act, all court orders entered in such actions, and any withdrawal certificates issued by the child support unit.

(5)Reinstatement following license suspension or revocation. A licensee shall pay all board fees required for license renewal or license reinstatement before a license will be reinstated after the board has suspended a license pursuant to the Act.

(6)Effect of filing in district court. In the event a licensee files a timely district court action pursuant to the Act and following service of a revocation or suspension notice, the board shall continue with the intended action described in the revocation or suspension notice upon the receipt of a court order lifting the stay, dismissing the action, or otherwise directing the board to proceed. For purposes of determining the effective date of the suspension or revocation, the board shall count the number of days before the action was filed and the number of days after the action was disposed of by the court.

(7)Final notification. The board shall notify the licensee in writing through regular first-class mail, or such other means as the board determines appropriate in the circumstances, within ten days of the effective date of the suspension or revocation of a license, and shall similarly notify the licensee if the license is reinstated following the board's receipt of a withdrawal certificate.
