1.8 	on the obligor by first class mail at the last known address or in person, and if at a hearing,
1.9 	the court finds that (1) the obligor is in arrears in court-ordered child support or maintenance

1.15 	license or licenses. Prior to utilizing this section, the court must find that other substantial 
1.16 	enforcement mechanisms have been attempted but have not resulted in compliance.
1.17 	(b) For purposes of this section, a recreational license includes all licenses, permits, and 
1.18 	stamps issued centrally by the commissioner of natural resources under sections 97B.301,

2.1 	agreements pursuant to section 518A.69.A motion to reinstate a recreational license by the

2.4 	with all written payment agreements pursuant to section 518A.69 or has paid the arrears in 
2.5 	full;
2.6 	(2) the reason for the suspension was failure to comply with a subpoena and the obligor 
2.7 	has complied with the subpoena; or
2.8 	(3) the original motion to suspend was brought by the public authority and the public 
2.9 	authority attests that the IV-D case is eligible for closure.
2.10 	Within 15 days of receipt of that proof issuance of an order to reinstate the recreational 
2.11 	license, the court shall notify the commissioner of natural resources that the obligor's 
2.12 	recreational license or licenses should no longer be suspended nor should receipt be barred.
