Judicial review of the actions of the department may be sought in accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure Act.
The department may revoke a bargaining agent permit upon information without hearing if the permittee fails to have sufficient bond on file with the department, or if the permittee fails to submit to inspection.

Upon revocation of a permit, any claim of a creditor shall be filed against the former permittee within one hundred twenty days after the date of revocation.
