The court may withhold or suspend any certificate, permit, or license issued by lottery, tag, electronically, or over the counter by the director of the game and fish department which the judgment debtor is required to obtain before engaging in a recreational activity. Following a decision to withhold or suspend a judgment debtor's certificate, permit, or license for failure to repay a state guaranteed student loan, the court shall notify the judgment debtor that the decision becomes final thirty days after the notification unless the judgment debtor satisfies or makes arrangements to pay the entire outstanding payment due or makes regular payment on the judgment in a manner and at times satisfactory to the court. The court shall notify the director of the game and fish department of the court's decision to withhold or suspend a debtor's certificate, permit, or license.

An appeal by a debtor who has had a certificate, permit, or license suspended or withheld under this section is an appeal from the court's order and may not be appealed to the director of the game and fish department.Amended by S.L. 2017, ch. 39 (SB 2014),§ 18, eff. 7/1/2017.
