§ 4554

Procedure on failure to appear; notice If a defendant fails to appear or answer an information or summons served upon him or her, the court shall immediately report the name of the defendant and other pertinent facts to the Commissioner. The Commissioner shall mail a notice to the defendant at the address stated in the information notifying the defendant that his or her failure to appear has resulted in the suspension or revocation of his or her hunting, fishing, and trapping license and his or her privilege to take wild animals in this State. Nothing in this subchapter shall prevent the court from issuing an arrest warrant or punishing the defendant for contempt. (Added 1977, No. 229 (Adj. Sess.); amended 1981, No. 85, § 6, eff.
