§ 30-3-175 — Reinstatement of Withheld, Etc., License; Obtaining New License After Revocation

(a) When, following the withholding, restricted use, or suspension of a license, the department or its agent determines that the support debt or support obligation has been paid in full or a satisfactory payment plan has been negotiated, or the obligor has complied with subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support proceedings, the department or its agent, at the request of the obligor, shall send notice requesting reinstatement of the license to the licensing authority and the obligor. Notice to the licensing authority to reinstate the license shall not limit the ability of the department or its agent to issue a new decision and notice in the event of another delinquency.
(b) When a license has been revoked pursuant to Section 30-3-173, the obligor may obtain a new license only if the department, upon request of the obligor, makes a determination and notifies the licensing authority that the obligation has been paid in full or a satisfactory payment plan is in place and the obligor is complying with the plan or the obligor has complied with subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support proceedings. Upon receipt of the notification, the licensing authority may issue a new license pursuant to the statutes or regulations governing the reissuance of a license by the licensing authority.
