§ 795. Licenses or governmental contracts
- (a) As used in this section: (1) “Agency” means any unit of state government, including agencies, departments, boards,
commissions, authorities, or public corporations. (2) “License” means any license, certification, or registration issued by an agency to
conduct a trade or business, including a license to practice a profession or occupation,
or a license required to engage in recreational activities, including the license
to hunt, fish, or trap. (3) “Contract” means a contract for the provision of goods, services or real estate space. (b) Every applicant for a license shall sign a statement that the applicant is not subject
to a child support order, or if subject to a child support order is in good standing
with respect to the order or in full compliance with a plan to pay any and all child
support payable under a support order as of the date the application is filed. A license
may not be issued or renewed without such a statement. (c) No agency shall enter into, extend, or renew any contract unless the person submits
a statement that the person is not under an obligation to pay child support or is
in good standing with respect to or in full compliance with a plan to pay any and
all child support payable under a support order as of the date the contract is made. (d) For the purposes of this section, a person is in good standing with respect to any
and all support payable if: (1) less than one-twelfth of the annual support obligation is overdue; or (2) liability for any support payable is being contested in a judicial or quasi-judicial
proceeding; or (3) the person is in compliance with a repayment plan approved by the office of child
support or agreed to by the parties; or (4) in the case of a licensee, the licensing agency finds that requiring immediate payment
of support due and payable would impose an unreasonable hardship. (Added 1989, No. 220 (Adj. Sess.), § 29; amended 1997, No. 63, § 16, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
