Upon receipt of a report from a district court of a failure to comply with a wildlife citation or sentence as set forth in paragraph 1 of this subsection the Department shall suspend or forfeit the license, permit, stamp or other issue of the Department held by the person until satisfactory evidence of compliance with the wildlife citation or sentence of the district court is furnished to the Department by the district court. Upon receipt of notification of compliance from the district court, the Department shall terminate the suspension action, unless the suspension is otherwise required. B.
