The letter is hitting mailboxes across Utah.
“This notice is to inform you that according to records maintained by the Office of Recovery Services (ORS), you currently have child support arrears over $2,500.00,” it reads, then warns that under a new Utah law “you may not apply for, obtain, or attempt to obtain a license, permit, or tag for hunting or fishing...”
A law passed by the Utah State Legislature last year is going into effect on July 1 and thousands of people who are delinquent on child support could be denied a hunting or fishing license because they owe more than $2,500 in unpaid child support.
“These children need their child support,” said Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, who sponsored the law. |

The state is trying to notify people before they show up to purchase a hunting or fishing license and get rejected.
“We want people to know about this before it goes into effect so they can try to rectify it,” said Faith Heaton Jolley, a spokesperson for Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources.
Utah’s Office of Recovery Services is sending out the letters this week to 19,062 people who have been identified as being behind on child support. Of those, 9,454 people have been found to be in both agencies’ databases, meaning they have purchased a hunting or fishing license in the past. |
