501.1814  System of assessing demerit points for wildlife convictions: Establishment and administration of system; assessment and deletion of points.

      1.  The Commission shall establish and the Department shall administer and enforce a system of assessing demerit points for wildlife convictions. The system must be uniform in its operation.

      2.  Pursuant to the schedule of demerit points established by regulation of the Commission for each wildlife conviction occurring within this State affecting any holder of a license, permit or privilege issued pursuant to this title, the Department shall assess demerit points for the 60-month period preceding a person’s most recent wildlife conviction. Sixty months after the date of the conviction, the demerit points for that conviction must be deleted from the total demerit points accumulated by that person. The date of the conviction shall be deemed the date on which accumulated demerit points must be assessed. If a conviction of two or more wildlife violations committed at a single event is obtained, demerit points must be assessed for the offense having the greater number of demerit points.
