Notice.
Upon receipt of the information provided pursuant to
				  section
				  12, the Division may issue a
				  written notice to each licensee who is a support obligor who is not in
				  compliance with a support order. The notice must inform the obligor that:
1. The obligor may request an administrative
				  hearing to contest the issue of compliance;
2. A request for hearing must be made in
				  writing and must be received by the Division within 20 days of the date the
				  notice is sent;
3. If the obligor
				  requests a hearing within 20 days of receipt of the notice the Division shall
				  stay action to certify the obligor to the appropriate board for noncompliance
				  with a support order pending a decision after hearing;
4. If the obligor does not request a hearing
				  within 20 days of receipt of the notice and is not in compliance with a support
				  order the Division may certify the obligor to the appropriate board for
				  noncompliance with a support order;
5. If the Division certifies the obligor to a
				  board for noncompliance with a support order the board must refuse to renew,
				  issue or reissue a license until the obligor provides the board with a written
				  statement issued by the Division that confirms the obligor is in compliance
				  with the obligor's support order. And that a refusal by an agency or board to
				  reissue, renew or otherwise extend the obligor's license or certificate of
				  authority is deemed a final determination within the meaning of
				  5 M.R.S.A.
				  §10002; and
6.
(Not in use)
7. The obligor can come into compliance with
				  a court order of support by:
i. Paying
				  current support;
ii. Paying all
				  past-due support, or if unable to pay all past-due support and a periodic
				  payment for past-due support has not been ordered by the court, by making
				  periodic payments in accordance with a written agreement; and
iii. Meeting the obligor's health insurance
				  obligation.
The notice must include the address and telephone number of
					 the Division's support enforcement office that issues the notice and a
					 statement of the need for the obligor to obtain written confirmation of
					 compliance from the Division as provided in section
					 9. For purposes of identifying the
					 order of support, the notice must state when the order was issued. The notice
					 also must state the name of the licensing board that reported the obligor as a
					 licensee and the type of license. The Division shall send the notice to the
					 obligor at the obligor's most recent address as evidenced by the Division's
					 records. A notice sent to the obligor's address of record is deemed adequate
					 notice of the Division's action. The Division need not prove at hearing that
					 the obligor actually received the notice.
