2024 mussel aware test

[wiperhunter2]

I spoke directly with Utah Parks and Recreation today 1/2/2024.  I was told that if you registered your boat after July 1st last summer (2023) then you need the sticker for AIS.  For those of you, like myself, who's boat comes due in April 2024, I do NOT need a AIS sticker for my boat since it was registered before June 30, 2023 and the UDMV collected the money for the AIS built into the registration cost.  When any boat comes up for renewal from Jan-June 2024, then they will need to get the AIS sticker and pay UDWR the $20 and not pay UDMV the $20.  In either case you have to have the mussel awareness form on your dashboard of your launch vehicle.  They said NOTHING about displaying an AIS registration form on the launch vehicle and knew nothing about that.  They said you only need to display the AIS mussel form that we have all been doing for the last 8 years or so.  One phone call cleared everything up.  Much easier than listening to "what ifs" from arm chair warriors out there.

Since the DWR is now running the program as far as the AIS is concerned how would the parks folks know anything about what you need to display on your dash. Take the new test and pay the $20 fee, it clearly spells it out what you need before launching your boat, if you don't have both forms on your dash when you launch your boat you can get a ticket. You should know better than most of us, the different divisions don't talk to each other, so one does not know what the other one is doing.
