Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
The licensing authority shall deny the issuance or renewal of a
				license upon the receipt of a certificate of noncompliance from the centralized
				collection unit. This rule shall apply in addition to the procedures set forth
				in Iowa Code chapter 272D.
(1)
Service of denial notice.
Notice shall be served upon the
			 applicant or licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested; by personal
			 service; or through authorized counsel.
(2)
Effective date of
			 denial.
The effective date of the denial of the issuance or renewal of
			 a license, as specified in the denial notice, shall be 60 days following
			 service of the denial notice upon the applicant or licensee.
(3)
Preparation and service of denial
			 notice.
The licensing authority is authorized to prepare and serve the
			 denial notice upon the applicant or licensee.
(4)
Licensees and applicants
			 responsible to inform licensing authority.
Licensees and applicants
			 shall keep the licensing authority informed of all court actions and all
			 centralized collection unit actions taken under or in connection with Iowa Code
			 chapter 272D. Licensees and applicants shall also provide the licensing
			 authority copies, within seven days of filing or issuance, of all applications
			 filed with the district court pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 272D, all court
			 orders entered in such actions, and any withdrawals of certificates issued by
			 the centralized collection unit.
(5)
Reinstatement following license
			 denial.
All licensing authority fees required for application, license
			 renewal, or license reinstatement must be paid by applicants or licensees
			 before a license will be issued, renewed, or reinstated after the licensing
			 authority has denied the issuance or renewal of a license pursuant to Iowa Code
			 chapter 272D.
(6)
Effect of
			 filing in district court.
In the event an applicant or a licensee
			 files a timely district court action following service of a denial notice by a
			 licensing authority, the licensing authority shall continue with the intended
			 action described in the denial notice upon the receipt of a court order lifting
			 the stay, dismissing the action, or otherwise directing the licensing authority
			 to proceed. For purposes of determining the effective date of the denial of the
			 issuance or renewal of a license, the licensing authority 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
			 licensing authority shall notify the applicant or licensee in writing through
			 regular first-class mail, or by such other means as the licensing authority
			 determines appropriate in the circumstances, within ten days of the effective
			 date of the denial of the issuance or renewal of a license, and shall similarly
			 notify the applicant or licensee if the license is issued or renewed following
			 the licensing authority's receipt of a withdrawal certificate.
