§ 23:13-3.
a. When the Division of Fish and Wildlife receives notice of the suspension of the
hunting, fishing, or trapping privileges of a person by a participating state, the
division shall determine whether the violation leading to the suspension could lead
to the suspension of privileges under State law, rule, or regulation. If the division determines that the suspension of privileges in the issuing state
would initiate the suspension of a person's privileges according to State law, rule,
or regulation, the division may suspend the license privileges of that person to hunt,
fish, or trap in New Jersey for the same period imposed by the issuing state not to
exceed the time period prescribed by corresponding State law, rule, or regulation. The division shall provide written notification to the person of the suspension
of their privileges to take or possess wildlife in New Jersey and the reason for the
suspension. b. When the Division of Fish and Wildlife receives notification of the conviction
of a New Jersey resident from a licensing authority of a participating state, the
division may suspend the resident's hunting, fishing, or trapping privileges, or other
privileges to take or possess wildlife, if the conviction can be treated as if the
violation had occurred in this State. The division shall determine if the conviction from a participating state would
satisfy the suspension requirements of the resident's hunting, fishing, or trapping
privileges, or other privileges to take or possess wildlife in New Jersey pursuant
to Title 23, Title 50, and chapter 24 of Title 58 of the Revised Statutes and any
rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. When the division determines the violation is a violation which can be considered
for a suspension in New Jersey by (1) pre-requisite of an accumulation of violations,
or (2) cause of collateral consequence, a suspension due to the nature of the violation
corresponding with prescribed penalties of Title 23, Title 50, and chapter 24 of Title
58 of the Revised Statutes and any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto,
the division may suspend the resident's privileges to hunt, fish, or trap in this
State for the same period imposed by the issuing state, not to exceed the time period
prescribed by corresponding State law, rule, or regulation. The division shall provide written notification to the person of their suspension
of privileges to take or possess wildlife in New Jersey in compliance with this act. c. When notice of suspension is sent to a person, the person shall immediately surrender
any current New Jersey wildlife licenses to the division. d. A person whose privileges have been suspended and who hunts, fishes, or traps in
this State, who applies for or purchases any license or permit to hunt, fish, or trap
in this State, or who refuses to surrender any current hunting, fishing, or trapping
license as required, shall be subject to penalties and sanctions prescribed in Title
23, Title 50, and chapter 24 of Title 58 of the Revised Statutes, and any rules and
regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
