        261.126  REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES OF LICENSING
      AUTHORITY.
         1.  A licensing authority shall maintain records of licensees by
      name, current known address, and social security number.
         2.  In addition to other grounds for suspension, revocation, or
      denial of issuance or renewal of a license, a licensing authority
      shall include in rules adopted by the licensing authority as grounds
      for suspension, revocation, or denial of issuance or renewal of a
      license, the receipt of a certificate of noncompliance from the
      commission.
         3.  The supreme court shall prescribe rules for admission of
      persons to practice as attorneys and counselors pursuant to chapter
      602, article 10, which include provisions, as specified in this
      chapter, for the denial, suspension, or revocation of the admission
      for failure to repay an obligation owed to or collected by the
      commission.
         4.  A licensing authority that is issued a certificate of
      noncompliance shall initiate procedures for the suspension,
      revocation, or denial of issuance or renewal of licensure to an
      individual.  The licensing authority shall utilize existing rules and
      procedures for suspension, revocation, or denial of the issuance or
      renewal of a license.
         In addition, the licensing authority shall provide notice to the
      individual of the licensing authority's intent to suspend, revoke, or
      deny issuance or renewal of a license under this chapter.  The
      suspension, revocation, or denial shall be effective no sooner than
      thirty days following provision of notice to the individual.  The
      notice shall state all of the following:
         a.  The licensing authority intends to suspend, revoke, or
      deny issuance or renewal of an individual's license due to the
      receipt of a certificate of noncompliance from the commission.
         b.  The individual must contact the commission to schedule a
      conference or to otherwise obtain a withdrawal of a certificate of
      noncompliance.
         c.  Unless the commission furnishes a withdrawal of a
      certificate of noncompliance to the licensing authority within thirty
      days of the issuance of the notice under this section, the
      individual's license shall be revoked, suspended, or denied.
         d.  If the licensing authority's rules and procedures conflict
      with the additional requirements of this section, the requirements of
      this section shall apply.  Notwithstanding section 17A.18, the
      individual does not have a right to a hearing before the licensing
      authority to contest the authority's actions under this chapter, but
      may request a court hearing pursuant to section 261.127 within thirty
      days of the provision of notice under this section.
         5.  If the licensing authority receives a withdrawal of a
      certificate of noncompliance from the commission, the licensing
      authority shall immediately reinstate, renew, or issue a license if
      the individual is otherwise in compliance with licensing requirements
      established by the licensing authority.
