SUSPENSION OF HUNTING, FISHING OR TRAPPING LICENSE FOR FAILURE
TO PAY UNDERLYING INFRACTION PENALTY -- APPEAL. (1) The department shall
immediately suspend the hunting, fishing or trapping license and the hunting,
fishing or trapping privileges of any person upon receiving notice from any
court of the state that a person has failed to pay the penalty for a fish and
game infraction judgment. The notice may be sent to the department by any
court which shall certify that a judgment for an infraction violation has been
entered against the person and that he has failed to pay the penalty after
notice and hearing, or opportunity for hearing, as prescribed by rule of the
supreme court.
(2) The suspension of privileges under this section shall continue from
notice of suspension by the department until the penalty has been paid. The
person shall not be eligible to exercise hunting, fishing or trapping
privileges or purchase a new hunting, fishing or trapping license until the
penalty has been paid to the county in which judgment was entered. The
department shall notify the person by registered mail of the suspension of his
hunting, fishing or trapping privileges. No hearing shall be required
regarding the suspension of privileges pursuant to this section.
(3) Any person hunting, fishing or trapping while such privileges are
suspended under the provisions of this section, shall be in violation of the
provisions of title 36, Idaho Code, prohibiting hunting, fishing or trapping
without a valid license.
(4) Any person whose hunting, fishing or trapping license has been
suspended under the provisions of this section may appeal to the district
court in the county where the infraction judgment was entered within the time
and in the manner provided for criminal appeals from the magistrates division
to the district court. The appeal shall be expedited as provided by rule of
the supreme court. If the district court finds that the notice of nonpayment
of the infraction penalty should not have been sent to the department for
suspension of the hunting, fishing or trapping license, the district court
shall order the license reinstated by the department. The department upon
receipt of a copy of such order shall reinstate the person's license.
