The 2006 Florida Legislature authorized Florida to become a member of the interstate Wildlife Violator Compact in Chapter 2006-304, Laws of Florida. The compact creates a uniform system which allows member states to recognize suspensions of hunting and fishing licenses from other member states. The legislation also made the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission the enforcer of the compact. The purpose of this rule is to administer the provisions of the Wildlife Violator Compact. The compact has a list of violations for which licenses are typically suspended. All violations which result in a suspension are entered into the compact’s computerized data system and are filed under one of the violation codes. Each compact member state must decide which violation codes will be recognized in their state. This rule lists the violations which resulted in a suspension that Florida will recognize and for which Florida will suspend a license. The rule also gives clarity as to how the suspensions will be recognized so that residents and non-residents will know how they are affected by the compact.
