Summary
The California Board of Naturopathic Medicine announces statutory requirements under AB 1424 to deny licensure applications and suspend licenses of applicants and licensees appearing on Franchise Tax Board (FTB) or Board of Equalization (BOE) certified lists of top 500 tax delinquencies over $100,000. Affected individuals have 90 days from preliminary notice to satisfy outstanding tax obligations or enter a payment installment program with FTB or BOE. The board cannot refund any fees paid for license issuance or renewal when denied or suspended under this law.
What changed
Effective July 1, 2012, AB 1424 requires the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine to deny licensure applications and suspend existing licenses of applicants and licensees who owe outstanding taxes to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) or Board of Equalization (BOE) and appear on certified lists of top 500 tax delinquencies over $100,000. The board must act once it determines an individual is on a certified list.
Affected naturopathic doctors and applicants have 90 days from issuance of a preliminary notice of suspension to either satisfy all outstanding tax obligations or enter into a payment installment program with FTB or BOE. Those who fail to come into compliance will have their license denied or suspended until the board receives a release from FTB or BOE. The law prohibits the board from refunding any fees paid for license issuance or renewal when denied or suspended under AB 1424. Licensees concerned about erroneous inclusion on tax delinquency lists should contact FTB directly.

ALERT - POTENTIAL LICENSE DENIAL OR SUSPENSION FOR FAILURE TO PAY TAXES:
Effective July 1, 2012, the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine is required to deny an application for licensure and to suspend the license/certificate/registration of any applicant or licensee who has outstanding tax obligations due to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) or the State Board of Equalization (BOE) and appears on either the FTB or BOE's certified lists of top 500 tax delinquencies over $100,000. (AB 1424, Perea, Chapter 455, Statutes of 2011)
Once it has been determined that an applicant or a licensee is on a certified list, the applicant or licensee has 90 days from the issuance of a preliminary notice of suspension to either satisfy all outstanding tax obligations or enter into a payment installment program with the FTB or BOE. Any such person who fails to come into compliance will have his/her license denied or suspended until the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine receives a release from the FTB or BOE. The form for requesting a release will be included with the preliminary notice of suspension.
The law prohibits the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine from refunding any money paid for the issuance or renewal of a license where the license is denied or suspended as required by AB 1424.
The FTB and BOE are currently expanding the certified lists from 250 to 500, but you can check if you are currently on the FTB's certified list at: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/top-500-past-due-balances/index.html. If you believe you are on either list in error, please call the FTB at (888) 426-8555
