(a) Upon receipt of a report from the licensing authority of the issuing state reporting the failure of a violator to comply with the terms of a citation, the licensing authority shall notify the violator and shall initiate a suspension action. The licensing authority shall suspend the violator’s license privileges, in accordance with the requirements of due process, until satisfactory evidence of compliance with the terms of the wildlife citation has been furnished to the licensing authority.
(b) Upon receipt of a report of conviction from the licensing authority of the issuing state, the licensing authority of the home state may enter that conviction in its records and may treat the conviction as though it occurred in the home state for the purposes of the suspension of license privileges, if the violation that resulted in the conviction would constitute a wildlife violation in the home state.
(c) The licensing authority of the home state shall maintain a record of actions taken and shall make reports to issuing states as provided in the compact manual.
