§ 548-b. Paternity or child support proceedings; suspension of state

professional, occupational and business licenses. (a) If the

respondent, after receiving appropriate notice, fails to comply with a

summons, subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support

proceeding, and the court has determined that the respondent is

licensed, permitted or registered by or with a board, department,

authority or office of this state or one of its political subdivisions

or instrumentalities to conduct a trade, business, profession or

occupation, the court may order such board, department, authority or

office to commence proceedings as required by law regarding the

suspension of such license, permit, registration or authority to

practice and to inform the court of the actions it has taken pursuant to

such proceeding.

(b) The court may subsequently order such board, department, authority

or office to terminate the suspension of the respondent's license,

permit, registration or authority to practice; however, the court shall

order the termination of such suspension when the court is satisfied

that the respondent has fully complied with all summons, subpoenas and

warrants relating to a paternity or child support proceeding.
