Can the Board suspend or deny a license renewal if there is a final order regarding child support?

The reason the correct answer is that the Board can indeed suspend or deny a license renewal if there is a final order regarding child support is based on legal obligations surrounding child support enforcement. Many state laws allow licensing boards to take action against a professional's license when there is a failure to comply with child support orders. This measure is put in place to ensure that individuals uphold their responsibilities to support their children financially.

When there is a final order for child support, and an individual is not compliant with that order, licensing boards are often empowered to impose sanctions, including suspension or denial of renewal of a professional license. This serves both to enforce compliance with child support laws and to protect the integrity of the professional licensing system.

Options that suggest there is no ability to suspend or deny based on child support issues or that this is limited to certain circumstances (like the duration of delinquency or the request of the licensee) underestimate the legal framework established to enforce child support. The Board's authority in these matters is generally comprehensive and focused on ensuring compliance with the law.
