A. When the Department of Wildlife Conservation receives notice of the suspension of the hunting, trapping, or fishing privileges of a person by a participating issuing state as set forth in the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, the Department shall determine whether the violation leading to the suspension could have led to the forfeiture of privileges under the law of this state. If the Department determines that the privileges of the person could have been forfeited, the Department may suspend the privileges to hunt, trap, or fish in this state of the person for the same period as imposed by the participating state not to exceed the maximum limits allowed by state law.
B. When the Department receives notice of a conviction of a state resident from the licensing authority of the participating issuing state, the Department may treat the conviction as if it had occurred in this state and shall determine whether the conviction could have led to the forfeiture of the hunting, trapping, or fishing privileges of the resident under state law. If the Department determines that the privileges of the resident could have been forfeited, the Department may suspend the privileges of the resident to hunt, trap, or fish in this state for the same period as the issuing state, not to exceed the limit that could have been imposed under state law.
C. Notice of the suspension shall be sent to the person, who shall surrender any current Oklahoma hunting, trapping, or fishing licenses to the Department within ten (10) days.
D. A person whose privileges have been suspended and who hunts, traps, or fishes in this state, who applies for or purchases any licenses or permits to hunt, trap, or fish in this state, or who refuses to surrender any current hunting, trapping, or fishing licenses as required pursuant to this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) or more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).
