Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
The board shall suspend or revoke a license upon receipt of a
				certificate from the 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 of revocation
			 or suspension notice.
Notice shall be served upon the licensee by
			 restricted certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service in
			 accordance with the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure. Alternatively, the licensee
			 may accept service personally or through authorized counsel.
(2)
Effective date of revocation or
			 suspension.
The effective date of the revocation or suspension of a
			 license, as specified in the 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
			 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.
Licensees shall keep the board informed
			 of all court actions and all unit actions taken under or in connection with the
			 Act and shall provide the board copies, within seven days of filing or
			 issuance, of all applications filed with the district court pursuant to Iowa
			 Code section
			 272D.9,
			 all court orders entered in such actions, and any withdrawal certificates
			 issued by the unit.
(5)
Reinstatement following license suspension, revocation, or denial of
			 renewal.
All board fees required for license renewal or license
			 reinstatement shall be paid by the licensee and all continuing education
			 requirements shall be met before a license will be renewed or reinstated after
			 the board has suspended a license pursuant to the Act. A licensee whose license
			 to practice pharmacy has been revoked shall complete the examination components
			 as indicated in 657-subrule 2.4(1) and shall pay all required examination fees
			 pursuant to 657-subrule 2.5(3). A licensee whose registration to practice as a
			 pharmacist-intern, as a pharmacy technician, or as a pharmacy support person or
			 whose registration to handle controlled substances under Iowa Code chapter 124
			 has been revoked shall complete the appropriate application and pay all board
			 fees required for new registration.
(6)
Effect of filing in district
			 court.
In the event a licensee timely files a district court action
			 following service of a board notice pursuant to Iowa Code sections
			 272D.8
			 and
			 272D.9,
			 the board shall continue with the intended action described in the 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 of a license, 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 deems 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 when the license is reinstated following
			 the board's receipt of a withdrawal certificate.
