Applicants who fail to apply for either a preference point or a license at least once during any 3 consecutive years shall lose all previously accumulated preference points. If the number of applicants within a preference category exceeds the number of Class A bear licenses available in the category, the department shall select at random the applicants to be issued licenses within the preference category. Beginning on the effective date of this paragraph .... [revisor inserts date], an applicant for a preference point must meet all of the following requirements on the first day of the bear hunting season that immediately follows the date of application:
