Item 1

 
C.__If an habitual violator, as defined in section 10605,
subsection 1, is convicted or adjudicated of a violation of
any provision of this Part, the commissioner shall revoke
all licenses and permits held by that person.__A license may
not be granted to that person for a period to be determined
by the commissioner, but not less than 3 years from the date
of revocation.__A hearing for a person whose licenses and
permits have been revoked under this paragraph is governed
by the following.

 
(1)__A person whose licenses and permits have been
revoked under this paragraph may, within 30 days of the
effective date of the revocation, petition for a
hearing before the commissioner to show cause why the
licenses and permits should not have been revoked.

 
(2)__If, after the hearing, the commissioner finds that
the petitioner's record does not bring the petitioner
within the definition of an habitual violator, the
commissioner shall rescind the revocation.__If the
commissioner finds that the petitioner's record does
bring the petitioner within the definition of an
habitual violator, the revocation remains in effect.__
If the petitioner denies any of the facts contained in
the record, the petitioner has the burden of proof.

 
5.__Hunting license revocation or suspension for endangerment
or harm to another.__The commissioner may bring a complaint in
the District Court seeking to revoke or suspend the current
hunting license or the privilege to obtain a hunting license of
any person whom the commissioner reasonably believes to have
killed, wounded or recklessly endangered the safety of another
human being while hunting. The District Court shall revoke or
suspend the person's license or privilege for a period of at
least 5 years if the court finds that the person, while hunting,
has killed, wounded or recklessly endangered the safety of
another human being and the public safety will be endangered by
the person's retention of that license or privilege.__For the
purpose of this subsection, "recklessly" has the same meaning as
that set out in Title 17-A, section 35, subsection 3.

 
A.__A person whose hunting license has been revoked or
suspended or whose right to hunt or the right to obtain a
hunting license has been denied under this subsection, may,
after the expiration of one year from the date of the
revocation or suspension, petition the commissioner for
restoration of the person's privilege to procure such a
license.
