Any notice to a licensing body served pursuant to K.S.A. 23-3120, and amendments thereto, shall have attached a copy of the court order stating the findings of fact required by K.S.A. 23-3120, and amendments thereto. The notice shall advise the licensing body of the duty to comply with K.S.A. 74-146 and 74-147, and amendments thereto; shall provide the name of the licensee and information which will assist the licensing body to identify the correct person; and shall provide the name, mailing address and telephone number of the person serving the notice. If inadequate identifying information is included in the notice, the licensing body shall promptly contact the person serving the notice to request additional information.
(b) If a licensing body receives a notice pursuant to subsection (a), the licensing body shall, within 30 days after receiving the notice, notify the licensee of the licensing body's intent to suspend or to withhold issuance or renewal of the licensee's authorization to practice a profession in this state and of the licensee's rights and duties under this section. If the licensing body does not receive sufficient information with the notice to identify the correct licensee, the 30 days shall commence when sufficient identifying information is received.
(c) If the licensing body receives a notice pursuant to subsection (a), the licensing body shall provide the licensee a temporary license, authorizing the individual to practice a profession in this state, if the licensee is otherwise eligible. The temporary license shall be valid for a period of six months from the date the notice to the licensee pursuant to subsection (b) was issued. A temporary license issued under this section shall not be extended, except that the licensing body may extend the temporary license up to 30 days to prevent extreme hardship for a person being served by the licensee. If the licensee does not furnish a release pursuant to subsection (c) within the time required by the licensing body, the licensing body shall proceed to suspend, terminate, deny or refuse to renew the licensee's authority to practice a profession in this state.
(d) If an authorization to practice a profession in this state is suspended, denied or not renewed pursuant to this section, any funds paid by the licensee shall not be refunded by the licensing body.
(e) If a temporary license has been issued pursuant to subsection (c), the licensee shall obtain a release from the court that authorized the notice to the licensing body, as a condition for the issuance or renewal of the licensee's authorization to practice a profession in this state. The licensing body may require the licensee to furnish the release before the temporary license expires.
(f) In any review of the licensing body's actions pursuant to K.S.A. 74-146 and 74-147, and amendments thereto, conducted by the licensing body at the request of the licensee, the issues shall be limited to the identity of the licensee and the validity of notices pursuant to this section. The licensing body shall have no jurisdiction over issues related to the support obligation of the licensee.
(g) The licensing body shall immediately terminate any proceedings, concerning a court order for support of a child, against a licensee upon presentation by the licensee of a notice of compliance from the court that authorized the initial notice as provided in subsection (a). The court shall issue a notice of compliance to the licensee if the licensee has contacted the court and is attempting to comply with a payment plan. If the licensee's license has been suspended or not renewed, and the licensee has provided the notice of compliance from the court and otherwise qualifies for the license, the licensing body shall reinstate the license or issue the renewal license to the licensee.
