§ 36-5-707 — Effect of compliance by obligors who have been served notice

(a) When an obligor who is served notice under § 36-5-702 complies with the order of support, the department shall provide the licensing authority with written or electronic data exchange confirmation that the obligor is in compliance with the order and issue a release to the obligor. (b) (1) Upon receipt of the written confirmation of reasonable or full compliance, the licensing authority shall issue or extend the obligor's license, or withdraw any denial, revocation, restriction or suspension of the obligor's license; provided, that all other applicable licensing requirements are met by the obligor. If all other applicable licensing requirements are met by the obligor, the obligor shall not, however, be required to be retested or recertified for a license that was valid and that was held in good standing by the obligor, or for which the obligor had been determined otherwise eligible by the licensing authority to receive, prior to the revocation, restriction or suspension or denial of such license pursuant to this part, and which license was revoked, restricted, suspended or denied solely pursuant to this part. (2) If, subsequent to the revocation, restriction, suspension or denial of the license, and prior to the date on which the next periodic licensing would be due, the license is restored or issued by the licensing authority due to reasonable or full compliance, the obligor shall not be required to pay a new periodic license fee for the period remaining before the next periodic licensing fee would be due; provided, that the licensing authority may impose a reasonable reinstatement fee not to exceed five dollars ($5.00) for processing of the restoration or issuance of the license at any time.
