2. Licensure under, and compliance with the provisions of, this chapter shall not exempt any attorney from discipline by the Iowa supreme court in its capacity as regulatory authority over attorneys licensed to practice in this state, nor from discipline by the regulatory authorities over attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions.

If a complaint is filed with the administrator against a closing agent affiliated with an attorney licensed to practice in this state, the administrator shall promptly give notice of the complaint to the Iowa supreme court or its designee, and cooperate in any disciplinary investigation which the court initiates against the attorney.
