License question

[DoeNob]

I was told somewhere else that Utah changed their law and instead of needing an active license when you apply, you now need an active license when the draw takes place (like AZ).

Can anyone confirm this for me? I have submitted my applications and want to make sure they are not in vain.

Do you have a license?
Utah Code ??? 23-19-1, 23-19-22 and 23-20-3
You must have a current Utah hunting or
combination (hunting and fishing) license
before you can apply for any big game permits,
bonus points or preference points. Licenses are
available at wildlife.utah.gov and from license
agents and Division offices.
Be sure to take a quick look at the date on
your license before you apply for any permits
or points. As long as your license is valid on the
date you submit your application, you don't
have to purchase a new license for the actual
hunt.
For example, assume that your license
expires on June 28, 2015. If you apply before
that date, you do not have to purchase a new
license for your hunt in the fall. All hunting
and combination licenses are valid for 365 days
from the date of purchase.

You only need the license at the time you apply. You need it when you buy an OTC tag as well.

You do not need a valid license any other time as far as obtaining a tag goes
