of Iowa and in any jurisdiction of the United States or foreign nations in
which the participant is currently licensed or in which the participant seeks

applicable monitoring program or licensing authority in any state in which the
participant is currently licensed or in which the participant seeks

communicate information about a program participant to the board in the event a
participant does not comply with the terms of the contract as set forth in rule

other appropriate action. If the board initiates disciplinary action against a
licensee for noncompliance with the terms of the contract, the board may
include in the public disciplinary documents information about a licensee's
participation in the program. The committee is also authorized to communicate
information about a participant to the board in the event that the participant
is under investigation by the board.

communicate information about a current or former program participant to the
board if reliable information held by the committee reasonably indicates that a
significant risk to the public exists. If the board initiates disciplinary
action based upon this information, the board may include in the public
disciplinary documents information about a licensee's participation if
necessary to address impairment issues related to the violations which are the
subject of the disciplinary action.
