				a certificate of noncompliance from the child support recovery unit of the
				department of human services according to the procedures set forth in Iowa Code
				chapter 252J. In addition to the procedures set forth in chapter 252J, this
				rule shall apply.
(1) The notice
			 required by Iowa Code section
			 252J.8
			 shall be served upon the licensee by restricted certified mail, return receipt
			 requested, or personal service in accordance with Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure
			 1.305. Alternatively, the licensee may accept service personally or through
			 authorized counsel.

			 effective date of revocation or suspension of a license, as specified in the
			 notice required by Iowa Code section
			 252J.8,
			 shall be 60 days following service of the notice upon the licensee.
(3) The board's executive officer is
			 authorized to prepare and serve the notice required by Iowa Code section
			 252J.8
			 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 the
			 license is on suspension, the executive officer shall notify the licensee of
			 the board's intent to revoke the license.
(4) Licensees shall keep the board informed
			 of all court actions and all child support recovery unit actions taken under or
			 in connection with Iowa Code chapter 252J 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
			 252J.9,
			 all court orders entered in such actions, and withdrawals of certificates of
			 noncompliance by the child support recovery unit.
(5) All board fees for license renewal or
			 reinstatement must be paid by licensees, and all continuing education

			 after the board has suspended or revoked a license pursuant to Iowa Code
			 chapter 252J.
(6) In the event a
			 licensee files a timely district court action following service of a board
			 notice pursuant to Iowa Code sections
			 252J.8
			 and
			 252J.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 revocation or suspension 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) 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 the license, and shall similarly notify the
			 licensee or applicant when the license is issued or renewed following the
			 board's receipt of a withdrawal certificate.
