Iowa Admin. Code r. 193-7.30 - [Effective until 8/14/2024] Final decisions, publication and client notification
(1)
Final
decision. When a quorum of the board presides over the reception of
evidence at the hearing, the decision is a final decision. The final decision
of the board shall be filed with the executive officer. A copy of the final
decision and order shall immediately be sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the licensee's or other respondent's last-known U.S. Postal
Service address or may be served as in the manner of original notices. A
party's attorney may waive formal service and accept service in writing for the
party. Copies shall be mailed by interoffice mail or first-class mail to the
prosecutor and counsel of record.
(2)
Publication of
decisions. Final decisions of the board, including consent agreements
and consent orders, are public documents, are available to the public and may
be disseminated as provided in Iowa Code chapter 22 by the board or others.
Final decisions relating to licensee discipline shall be published in the
professional licensing and regulation bureau's newsletter, may be published on
the bureau's Web site, and may be transmitted to the appropriate professional
association(s), national associations, other states, and news media, or
otherwise disseminated. The board may, in its discretion, issue a formal press
release.
(3)
Notification
of clients. Within 15 days (or such other time period specifically
ordered by the board) of the licensee's receipt of a final decision of the
board, whether entered by consent or following hearing, which suspends or
revokes a license or accepts a voluntary surrender of a license to resolve a
disciplinary case, the licensee shall notify in writing all current clients of
the fact that the license has been suspended, revoked or voluntarily
surrendered. Such notice shall advise clients to obtain alternative
professional services. Within 30 days of receipt of the board's final order,
the licensee shall file with the board copies of the notices sent. Compliance
with this requirement shall be a condition for an application for
reinstatement.
