Each recipient of a scholarship loan under the provisions of this article shall enter into a contract with the Board of Optometric Scholarship Awards whereby he/she agrees to repay the scholarship loan in a manner prescribed by the board not inconsistent with any provisions of this article. Breach of contract by the recipient shall make him/her immediately liable for the unpaid balance of the loan and shall constitute a ground for the revocation of his/her certificate or license to practice optometry in the State of Alabama. In the event of death or total and permanent disability of the recipient to engage in the practice of optometry, repayment of the loan may be excused by the board. The Attorney General of Alabama, upon request of the Board of Optometric Scholarship Awards, shall institute proceedings in the name of the state for the purpose of recovering any amount due the state under the provisions of this article. The proceedings to have such optometrists' certificate or license revoked shall be commenced upon the written complaint of the Board of Optometric Scholarship Awards to the State Board of Optometric Examiners. The proceedings shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Alabama law pertaining to the revocation of licenses to practice optometry.
