HB 2596 Defaults on educational loans; occupational license suspension.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Defaults on certain educational loans; occupational license suspension. Authorizes an obligee to petition for the suspension of any state-issued authority to engage in a business, trade, or occupation when an obligor is delinquent or in default in the payment of a federal or state guaranteed educational loan or work-conditional scholarship. Thirty days' notice must be given prior to filing the petition. The circuit court in the jurisdiction in which the obligor resides may order reinstatement of the license upon compliance with payment terms by the obligor.
Similar to the current statutes governing suspension for delinquency in child support payments, this measure addresses the licenses and certificates of insurance agents and brokers, commercial drivers, teachers, attorneys, accountants, architects, barbers, geologists, real estate appraisers, opticians, doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, social workers, veterinarians, and certain other occupations.
