Current through October 31, 2024
Section 22-20-21-105

The Commission may suspend or revoke regulatory program requirements established by the Commission, such as but not limited to, endorsements, lags, permits, or similar provisions for violations related to that particular program in accordance with the Following schedule:

For 1st offenses, a suspension for up to 3 months;

For 2nd offenses, a suspension for up to 6 months;

For 3rd offenses, a suspension of up to 1 year:

For 4th and subsequent offenses, a suspension for up to 2 years or revocation.

Suspensions shall be scheduled for a time period coinciding with the particular fishing season in which the offense is related.

If the violation is deemed to be so egregious to warrant a suspension outside of the penalty matrix, the Commission, by unanimous vote, may impose a suspension outside of the above matrix by skipping to the next level. (For example, if it's a offense that is deemed to be so egregious to warrant a suspension outside of the penalty matrix staled above, the Commission, by unanimous vote, may impose a suspension for up to 6 months as allowed under the 2 offense tier.)

In the event that a violator does not pay the administrative penalty assessed by the Commission in full within twenty-four (24) months, the Commission may, by majority vole, indefinitely suspend the endorsement, tag, permit or similar regulatory program requirement related to the violation until such time as the penalty is paid in Full.
