Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
Revocations due to state tax delinquency are handled differently from other types of revocations. Under the authority of Wis. Stat. § 48.715(7), BECR must revoke a child care or day camp license if the Department of Revenue certifies under Wis. Stat. § 73.0301 that the licensee is liable for delinquent taxes. An action taken under this subsection is subject to review only as provided under Wis. Stat. § 73.0301(5) and not as provided in Wis. Stat. § 48.72.
Once BECR initiates a revocation based on a certified tax delinquency, the licensee may file a written request with the Department of Revenue to have the certification of tax delinquency on which the revocation is based reviewed at a hearing under Wis. Stat. § 73.0301(5)(a). Such a hearing, conducted by the Department of Revenue, is limited to questions of mistaken identity of the licensee and of prior payment of the delinquent taxes for which the Department of Revenue certified that the licensee is liable. A licensee’s request for a hearing must be filed with the Department of Revenue within thirty days from the date of BECR’s Notice of Revocation.
For more information regarding revocations resulting from state tax delinquencies, see the section titled Tax Delinquency Denial and Revocation.
