§315.45. Suspension of license; notice of suspension from licensing authority
A. Within thirty days after receipt of a certification of noncompliance from the department, the licensing authority shall suspend the license of all licensees named therein and notify each licensee that his license has been suspended because of noncompliance with an order of support.
B. The licensing authority shall specify a date of suspension, which date shall be within thirty days from the licensing authority's receipt of the order of suspension and shall promptly issue a notice of suspension informing the licensee of all of the following:
(1) His license has been suspended by administrative order for noncompliance with an order of support, including a copy of the certification of nonsupport. However, the office of motor vehicles is not required to include a copy of the certification of nonsupport in its notice of suspension.
(2) The effective date of the suspension.
(3) To apply for reinstatement, the obligor must obtain a compliance release from the department.
(4) Any other information prescribed by the licensing authority.
C.(1) When the license to be suspended is for the operation of a motor vehicle, except for a Class A, Class B, or Class C license, the department may recommend that the suspension be restricted to specific time periods to allow the obligor to travel to and from his place of employment. Upon receipt of such a recommendation with the certification of noncompliance, the office of motor vehicles shall suspend the license for the specific time periods recommended, as provided in Subsection B of this Section.
(2) When the suspension involves the registration or license plate of a motor vehicle, the licensing authority shall suspend the registration or seize the license plate, in the same manner as suspensions under R.S. 32:863 et seq.
D.(1) In cases wherein the obligor is an attorney licensed to practice law in this state, a judgment or order indicating noncompliance with an order of support shall be mailed to the state supreme court and the Louisiana State Bar Association.
(2) The legislature hereby recognizes the judicial power vested in the state supreme court pursuant to Article V, Section 1 of the Constitution of Louisiana and, accordingly, urges and requests the supreme court to adopt rules and regulations affecting the suspension of licenses to practice law consistent with the provisions of this Chapter.
