The director shall notify a person not registered with the division and provide that person with 10 days to comply with that registration requirement.

b. (1) If the State tax compliance review of any license holder discloses a State tax indebtedness of that person reduced to judgment by the filing of a certificate of debt by the director or a State tax indebtedness finally determined after the exhaustion of remedies provided pursuant to the “State Uniform Tax Procedure Law,” R.S.54:48-1 et seq., or following the failure of a person to exercise available remedies, then the director shall notify the person of the intent to demand the suspension of the person's license by the State agency. No additional right to protest or appeal the State tax indebtedness shall be available to any person pursuant to this paragraph.

(2) If the State tax compliance review discloses a State tax indebtedness that (a) is not a certificate of debt, (b) is not a State tax indebtedness that has been finally determined after the exhaustion of remedies provided pursuant to the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law, R.S.54:48-1 et seq., or (c) is not a State tax indebtedness that has followed the failure of a person to exercise available remedies, the director shall forward a notice of tax delinquency or tax deficiency, or both, and the person may remit the State tax indebtedness to the director or contest the State tax indebtedness in accordance with the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law, R.S.54:48-1 et seq. The director shall not seek to suspend a license during the time available to contest the notice of tax delinquency or tax deficiency.
