s. 71.91 (8).
440.08(4)(b)3.
3. If the certification of tax delinquency that is the basis of a denial of a credential renewal application under
subd. 1. is reviewed at a hearing under
s. 71.91 (8) and the department of revenue informs the department of regulation and licensing that, as a result of the hearing, the department of revenue affirmed its certification that the applicant is liable for delinquent taxes, the department of regulation and licensing shall affirm its denial under

ch. 227 in the circuit court for Dane County of an affirmation by the department of regulation and licensing of a denial under

440.08(4)(b)4.
4. If the department of regulation and licensing denies a credential renewal application under
subd. 1. or affirms the denial of a credential renewal application under
