Section 144-351-21-2 - NOTICE

The Division may serve notice upon a support obligor who is not in compliance with a support order that informs the obligor of the Division's intention to submit the obligor to any appropriate board as a licensee who is not in compliance with a support order. The notice must inform the obligor that:

A. The obligor may request an administrative hearing to contest the issue of compliance;
B. A request for hearing must be made in writing and must be received by the Division within 20 days of service;
C. If the obligor requests a hearing within 20 days of service the Division shall stay action to certify the obligor to any board for noncompliance with a support order pending a decision after hearing;
D. If the obligor does not request a hearing within 20 days of service and is not in compliance with a support order the Division shall certify the obligor to any appropriate board for noncompliance with a support order;
E. If the Division certifies the obligor to a board for noncompliance with a support order the board must revoke the obligor's license and refuse to 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 order of support. And that a revocation by an agency or board or 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
F. The obligor can come into compliance with a court order of support by:
1. Paying current support;
2. 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 with the Division; and
3. 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. The Division shall attach a copy of the obligor's order of support to the notice.
