Rule 481-8.3 - Child Support Certificates of Noncompliance

(1) Notice required by Iowa Code section 252J.8 will be served upon the applicant or licensee by restricted certified mail, return receipt requested; personal service in accordance with Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.305; or the acceptance of service by the applicant or licensee personally or through authorized counsel.

(2) The effective date of the denial, revocation, or suspension is 60 days following service of the notice upon the applicant or licensee.

(3) The licensing authority is authorized to prepare and serve the notice mandated by Iowa Code section 252J.8 upon the applicant or licensee.

(4) Applicants and licensees are responsible for keeping the licensing authority informed of all court actions and all child support recovery unit actions taken under or in connection with Iowa Code chapter 252J, including providing the licensing authority copies, within seven days of filing or issuance, of applications filed with the district court pursuant to Iowa Code section 252J.9, court orders entered in such actions, and withdrawals of certificates of noncompliance by the child support recovery unit.

(5) All licensing authority fees required for license application, renewal or reinstatement must be paid before a license will be issued, renewed or reinstated after proceedings under Iowa Code chapter 252J.

(6) A licensee or applicant may file an application with the district court within 30 days of service of a licensing authority notice pursuant to Iowa Code sections 252J.8 and 252J.9. The filing of the application stays the licensing authority's action until the licensing authority receives 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, revocation, or suspension, the licensing authority will 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 licensing authority will notify the applicant or licensee in writing within ten days of the effective date of the denial, suspension, or revocation of a license, and will similarly notify the applicant or licensee when the license is issued, renewed, or reinstated following the licensing authority's receipt of a withdrawal of the certificate of noncompliance.
