Deadbeat dad enforcement from Idaho DHW tightening. Hunting privileges may be lost.

Edit- I'm bowing out as we were warned a week or so ago about getting off track with this stuff. Good luck.

The way most states handle this is to just take away the deadbeat’s right to buy the license. I’ve worked on some systems for a few states to do this. You just build a database of deadbeats and keep it updated, then other state systems such as the licensing systems are required to check it before issuing any licenses. This is actually a pretty common thing, and ID is late to the game doing it.

It appears, by reading the OP article, they are increasing the price of the F&G license(?).
Or... It's adding the price to outstanding debt(?). My impression, it appears to be the former moreso than the latter.
It doesn't appear to directly deny those a license who have have outstanding child support debt, unless the f&g cost is on top of the total debt owed.

I’m entitled to my opinion, and this particular issue has to do with hunting and policies… I’m sorry I’m not in the echo chamber

And I'll admit I wasn't too surprised
The day I come home and found my suitcase
Sittin' out on the porch
Well, I tried to get in, she'd changed the lock
Then I found this note stuck on the mailbox
It said, "Goodbye, turkey
My Attorney will be in touch"
So I decided right then and there
I was gonna do what's right,
Give her her fair share, but, brother,
I didn't assay it was gonna be that much
She got the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
I got the shaft (I got the shaft)
They split it right down the middle
And then they gave her the better half
Well it all sounds sort o' funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the goldmine
And I got the shaft
Now listen, you ain't heard nothin' yet
Why, they gave her the colour television set
Then they gave her the house
The kids and both o' the cars
See, well then they start talkin' 'bout child support
Alimony and the cost o' the Court
It didn't take me long to figure out
How fond of attorneys I was
I'm tellin' ya they have made a mistake
'Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes
Besides, everything I ever had worth takin'
They've already took
While she's livin' like a queen on alimony
I'm workin' two shifts,
Eatin' baloney,

Been this way in South Dakota for quite awhile. If you are not current with Child Support you are ineligible for a license. Not sure how long ago it was implemented. I have no idea if it works or not.

In NY....where my child support case for my older boys went through....if you're behind they take your hunting and fishing priveleges, driver's license, then put you in jail.

The jail part and taking your drivers license are counter intuitive, tough to pay for your kids when you don't have a job sitting in the slam. Also pretty tough to get to work if you can't drive a car.

No doubt the brilliant idea pushed by the privatized, for profit prison system. Can't turn a profit with empty cells.

Wage garnishment is the preferred and most effective method of collection. But it only works if the person is getting a paycheck.

That’s not how I read it. This statement “The department will accomplish this by raising minimum child support payments required to maintain hunting and fishing privileges when a parent owes past due child support” says to me that if you’re delinquent by a certain $ or amount or time period, then you lose you hunting and fishing privileges. If you get current, then you get them back. I didn’t see anything that referenced changing the price if the license itself.
