Latest version.
  • (a)    If   the
      respondent,  after  receiving appropriate notice, fails to comply with a
      summons, subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity  or  child  support
      proceeding,  and  the  court  has  determined  that  the  respondent  is
      licensed, permitted or  registered  by  or  with  a  board,  department,
      authority  or  office of this state or one of its political subdivisions
      or  instrumentalities  to  conduct  a  trade,  business,  profession  or
      occupation,  the  court  may  order such board, department, authority or
      office  to  commence  proceedings  as  required  by  law  regarding  the
      suspension  of  such  license,  permit,  registration  or  authority  to
      practice and to inform the court of the actions it has taken pursuant to
      such proceeding.
        (b) The court may subsequently order such board, department, authority
      or office to terminate  the  suspension  of  the  respondent's  license,
      permit,  registration or authority to practice; however, the court shall
      order the termination of such suspension when  the  court  is  satisfied
      that  the  respondent has fully complied with all summons, subpoenas and
      warrants relating to a paternity or child support proceeding.
