This section of the Michigan Penal Code outlines the reporting process and the penalties associated with hunting while intoxicated.
- Reporting the Conviction: A court that convicts a person under section 167a, which deals with hunting while intoxicated, has to report the conviction to the Department of Natural Resources. This report is made using forms provided by the Department.
- Sharing the Conviction List: The Department of Natural Resources is responsible for sharing a list of such convictions with all its agents who are authorized to issue hunting licenses.
- License Issuance Prohibition: Agents must not knowingly issue a hunting license to anyone whose name is on the list of convictions from the Department of Natural Resources for the period specified under section 167a. This is generally a period of 3 years from the date of conviction.
- Violation by the Licensing Agent: If a licensing agent violates this provision by issuing a license to a person on the Department's list during their prohibited period, this could be grounds for the Department to suspend or revoke the agent's authority to issue hunting licenses.
