A. 1. In addition to any other penalties provided for in the

Wildlife Bail Procedure Act or any other applicable law, when a

person fails to comply with a wildlife citation or a sentence for a

violation of wildlife laws or rules, the district court which has

jurisdiction of the citation or which issued the sentence shall mail

a notice to the person informing them that if they do not appear in

the district court or pay all fines, court costs, assessments or

fees, and any penalties imposed within thirty (30) days from the

date of mailing, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation

shall be notified to begin procedures to forfeit or suspend any

license, permit, stamp or other issue of the Department held by the

person.

2. Upon receipt of a report from a district court of a failure

to comply with a wildlife citation or sentence as set forth in

paragraph 1 of this subsection the Department shall suspend or

forfeit the license, permit, stamp or other issue of the Department

held by the person until satisfactory evidence of compliance with

the wildlife citation or sentence of the district court is furnished

to the Department by the district court. Upon receipt of

notification of compliance from the district court, the Department

shall terminate the suspension action, unless the suspension is

otherwise required.

B. Except as provided for in subsection C of this section, when

the district court notifies the Department of Wildlife Conservation

of a failure to comply with a wildlife citation or failure to comply

with a sentence of the district, the court shall assess a

reinstatement fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each charge or

sentence on which the person failed to make satisfaction, regardless

of the disposition of the charge for which the citation was

originally issued. The reinstatement fee shall be in addition to

any fine, court costs and other assessments, fees or penalties. The

district court shall remit all reinstatement fees to the Department

in accordance with the provisions of state law. The Department

shall deposit the entire amount of each reinstatement fee in the

Wildlife General Fund.

C. The district court shall waive the reinstatement fee

provided for in subsection B of this section if the failure to

comply with a wildlife citation was the result of the person

enlisting in or being drafted into the armed services of the United

States of America, being called into service as a member of a

reserve component of the military service of the United States of

America, volunteering for active duty or being called into service

as a member of the Oklahoma National Guard or volunteering for

active duty and being absent from Oklahoma because of military

service.

D. A person whose privileges have been suspended as provided

for in this section and who hunts, traps or fishes in this state,

who applies for or purchases any license or permit 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 deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less

than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) or more than Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00).
