SALT LAKE CITY —The law was designed to get people’s attention and it appears to be working.

Figures provided to FOX 13 News show a surge in court-ordered child support payments in the year since a law went into effect, blocking people from obtaining hunting and fishing licenses if they owe.

“This has been very successful. In the child support world, it’s very hard to move the needle on collections,” said Liesa Stockdale, the director of Utah’s Office of Recovery Services (a division of the Department of Health & Human Services) which is tasked with collecting child support.
