Item 1

 
1.__For mandatory suspension.__For a violation having a minimum
statutory suspension period, a suspension is effective upon
conviction or adjudication and the license holder must surrender
the license immediately to the commissioner.__That person is not
entitled to a hearing under section 10905 if the suspension period
does not exceed the minimum period of suspension required by law.__
In addition to any suspension period ordered by the commissioner, a
person whose license is suspended for a violation having a
mandatory suspension must successfully complete an outdoor ethics
course conducted or endorsed by the department prior to being
eligible to have that license reinstated.

 
2.__For all other suspensions.__For a violation that does not
have a minimum statutory suspension period, a suspension is
effective upon written notification of suspension by the
commissioner.__That person must surrender that license to the
commissioner upon receipt of a notice of suspension and is
entitled to a hearing under section 10905.__The commissioner
shall adopt rules specifying the conditions under which a person
whose license is suspended for a violation that does not carry a
mandatory suspension is required to complete an outdoor ethics
course.__Rules adopted under this subsection are major
substantive rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter
2-A.

 
Outdoor ethics courses must be scheduled by the Bureau of
Warden Service and must be given whenever there are 10 or more
persons needing or wanting to take the course.__The fee for an
outdoor ethics course is $100, payable 10 working days prior to
the start of the course.__All fees collected under this section
are allocated to the Sport Hunter Program established in section
10108, subsection 4, paragraph B.

 
§10904.__Notice of suspension

 
A decision by the commissioner to suspend a license of a
person convicted or adjudicated of a violation that does not
carry a mandatory suspension must be made within 60 days after
that conviction.__The commissioner shall give written notice of
all suspensions immediately following a decision to suspend.__A
notice of suspension must name the license or permit that is
suspended and state the effective date and length of the
suspension and must inform the person of any applicable hearing
provisions under section 10905.
