(1) The obligor's application for the issuance, renewal or reinstatement of a license has been denied;
(2) The obligor's current license has been suspended or revoked because the obligor's name has been certified by the department as an obligor who is not in compliance with an order of support; or
(3) The obligor's current driver license has been revoked because the obligor's name has been certified by the department as an obligor who is not in compliance with an order of support but eligible for a restricted license. The notice shall include information on the process for obtaining a restricted license and paying any restricted license fee required by the department of human services.
(c) A notice of suspension must specify the reason and statutory grounds for the suspension and the effective date of the suspension and may include any other notices prescribed by the licensing authority.
