			 applicant will, as part of the license application, submit all evidence of
			 rehabilitation that the applicant wishes to be considered by the board. The
			 board may deny a license if the applicant has a disqualifying offense, unless

			 is rehabilitated pursuant to Iowa Code section
			 272C.15. An applicant with one
			 or more disqualifying offenses who has been found rehabilitated still needs to
			 satisfy all other requirements for licensure.
d.
Nonrefundable fees.
Any
			 application fees will not be refunded if the license is denied.

If a complaint alleging an act or acts in violation of Iowa
				Code chapter 103, rules adopted by the board, or any other provision of law
				deemed relevant by the board to the use of a license issued by the board is
				substantiated, the board may suspend the license for a specific period of time,
				or indefinitely, may revoke the license, or may reprimand the licensee. The
				holder of a license which is suspended or revoked will be notified of the
				suspension or revocation in writing by registered mail, return receipt
				requested, or by personal service. The notice will include a statement that the
				licensee has the right to appeal the reprimand, suspension or revocation to the
				board within 30 days of receiving the notice, and that the reprimand,
				revocation or suspension will not take effect until the time to file an appeal

				stayed until the appeal has been acted upon. The suspension of revocation
				becomes final 30 days after delivery of the notice if a timely request for an
				appeal is not received by the board.
EXCEPTION: If the board finds that a violation which is the
				basis of the suspension or revocation is such that allowing the licensee to

				threat to the safety of the public, the board may provide that the suspension
				or revocation take effect immediately upon notice being delivered to the

				engaging in work where licensure is needed by law without having such a license
				will be notified of the specific allegations and intended remedial action by
				registered mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service. A person who
				is notified by the board of an intended remedial action under this rule may

				661-503.4 (103). The intended
				remediable action becomes final 30 days after delivery of the notice if a
