     148.32 Licenses; denial, revocation, refusal. 

    All licenses to practice midwifery heretofore or hereafter 
 issued by the board of medical practice must be renewed and a 
 fee paid for each renewal as set by the board.  Licenses may be 
 revoked, suspended, conditioned, limited, qualified or 
 restricted, or renewals refused by the board for unprofessional 
 or dishonorable conduct, or neglect to make proper returns to 
 agents of a board of health as authorized under section 145A.04 
 of births, deaths, puerperal fever, and other contagious 
 diseases. 

    A license to practice midwifery is suspended if (1) a 
 guardian of the person of a licensee is appointed by order of a 
 court pursuant to sections 525.54 to 525.61, for reasons other 
 than the minority of the licensee; or (2) the licensee is 
 committed by order of a court pursuant to chapter 253B.  The 
 license remains suspended until the licensee is restored to 
 capacity by a court and, upon petition by the licensee, the 
 suspension is terminated by the board after a hearing.
