§ 12152 Hunting Prohibition Reporting Requirements

This law says that when a court bans someone from hunting or trapping birds or mammals, the court must send a report about it to the state wildlife department, and the department must keep a list of all those bans and share it with hunting license officials and district attorneys.

Key Takeaways

  • •The court must report any hunting ban to the state wildlife department.
  • •The report must include the date, location, and names/addresses of the people involved.
  • •The department keeps a record of all bans and sends copies to licensing officials and district attorneys.

Example

A hunter is caught illegally shooting a protected deer and a judge orders the hunter not to hunt any more deer for two years.

The judge’s court has to send a report to the wildlife department with the date, place, the hunter’s name and address, and details about the deer. The department then adds the hunter’s ban to its records and sends copies of that list to the people who give out hunting licenses and to the local district attorney.
