(1) If a license
is issued for less than the period of time specified in the table above, the
fee will be prorated according to the number of months for which the license is
issued.
(2) A licensee who is on
active military deployment for 91 or more consecutive calendar days during the
term of a license may have the license period tolled as follows. "Tolled" means
that the expiration date of the license will be delayed for that period of
time.
a. A licensee who is on active military
deployment for 91 or more consecutive calendar days during a licensing period
may have the license terms tolled for one year.
b. A licensee who is on active military
deployment for 366 or more consecutive calendar days during a licensing period
may have the license terms tolled for two years.
c. A licensee who is on active military
deployment for 91 or more consecutive calendar days but fewer than 366
consecutive calendar days may petition the board to have the license tolled for
two years upon a showing of a special hardship which would not be alleviated by
tolling the license term for only one year.
d. A licensee who requests that the term of a
license be tolled pursuant to this subrule will provide a copy of military
orders showing the beginning and ending dates of the deployment or deployments
which are the basis for the request.
(3) A licensee may obtain a replacement
license for a license that has been lost. To order a replacement license, the
licensee will notify the board office in writing that the license has been lost
and will provide any information needed by the board office, which may include,
but is not limited to, the license number, the name of the licensee, and a
description of the circumstances of the loss, if known. The fee for issuance of
a replacement license is $15.
EXCEPTION: If a licensee who is located in an area covered by a
disaster emergency proclamation issued by the governor pursuant to Iowa Code
section 29C.6 which is currently in
force or has been in force within the previous 90 days certifies to the board
that the license was lost as a direct result of conditions which relate to the
issuance of the disaster emergency proclamation, the fee for replacement of the
license can be waived.
(4)
Refunds of license fees can be made under the following circumstances:
a. If an error on the part of the staff or
the applicant or licensee has resulted in an overpayment of fees, the refund
can be in the amount of overpayment and can be made if the overpayment is
discovered by staff of the board or if the overpayment is discovered by the
applicant or licensee and the applicant or licensee requests a
refund.
b. If an applicant for an
initial license or a renewal license dies prior to the effective date of a
license for which the applicant has applied and paid the applicable fee, the
license fee can be refunded to the estate of the applicant upon receipt of a
request from the estate of the applicant, accompanied by a certified copy of
the death certificate.
(5) The fee for submitting a petition for
eligibility determination as defined in subrule 502.8(2) is $25.
(6) The board will waive any fee charged to
an applicant for a license if the applicant's household income does not exceed
200 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines and the applicant is
applying for the license for the first time in this state.
