§ 6509-b. Additional definition of professional misconduct; arrears in   payment  of  support;  limited  application.   1. The provisions of this   section shall apply in all cases of licensee or  registrant  arrears  in   payment  of child support or combined child and spousal support referred   to the board of regents by a  court  pursuant  to  the  requirements  of   section  two  hundred  forty-four-c  of  the  domestic  relations law or   pursuant to section four hundred fifty-eight-b of the family court act.2. Upon receipt of an order from the court  pursuant  to  one  of  the   foregoing  provisions  of  law,  the  board of regents, if it finds such   person to be so licensed or registered,  shall  within  thirty  days  of   receipt  of such order from the court, provide notice to the licensee or   registrant of, and cause the regents review  committee  to  initiate,  a   hearing which shall be held at least twenty days and no more than thirty   days after the sending of such notice to the licensee or registrant. The   hearing  shall  be  held  solely  for the purpose of determining whether   there exists as of the date of the hearing proof that  full  payment  of   all  arrears  of support established by the order of the court to be due   from the licensee or registrant have been paid. Proof  of  such  payment   shall  be  a certified check showing full payment of established arrears   or a notice issued by the court or by the support collection unit  where   the  order  is  payable to the support collection unit designated by the   appropriate social services district. Such notice shall state that  full   payment  of all arrears of support established by the order of the court   to be due have been paid. The licensee or registrant shall be given full   opportunity to present such proof of payment at the hearing in person or   by counsel. The only issue  to  be  determined  by  the  regents  review   committee  as  a  result of the hearing is whether the arrears have been   paid. No evidence with respect to the appropriateness of the court order   or ability of the respondent party in arrears to comply with such  order   shall be received or considered by the committee.3.  Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent provision of this article or of   any other provision of law to the contrary, the license or  registration   of  a  person  subject to the provisions of this title and/or subject to   the provisions of title two-A of article two of the  public  health  law   shall be suspended if, at the hearing provided for by subdivision two of   this  section,  the  licensee  or  registrant  fails to present proof of   payment as required by such subdivision.  Such suspension shall  not  be   lifted  unless the court or the support collection unit, where the court   order is payable to  the  support  collection  unit  designated  by  the   appropriate  social  services  district,  issues  notice  to the regents   review committee that full payment of all arrears of support established   by the order of the court to be due have been paid.4. The board of regents shall inform the court of  all  actions  taken   hereunder as required by law.5.  This  section  applies to support obligations paid pursuant to any   order of child  support  or  child  and  spousal  support  issued  under   provisions  of  article three-A or section two hundred thirty-six or two   hundred forty of the domestic relations law, or article  four,  five  or   five-A of the family court act.6.  Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent provision of this article or of   any other provision of law to  the  contrary,  the  provisions  of  this   section  shall  apply to the exclusion of any other requirements of this   article and to the exclusion of any other  requirement  of  law  to  the   contrary.
