29.03(1)(a)(a) The participating states find all of the following:
29.03(1)(a)1. 1. Wildlife resources are managed by the respective states for the benefit of all residents and visitors.
29.03(1)(a)2. 2. The protection of wildlife resources of a state is materially affected by the degree of compliance with state laws, regulations, ordinances, resolutions, and administrative rules relating to the management of those resources.
29.03(1)(a)3. 3. The preservation, protection, management, and restoration of wildlife resources contribute immeasurably to the aesthetic, recreational, and economic aspects of those natural resources.
29.03(1)(a)4. 4. Wildlife resources are valuable without regard to political boundaries; therefore, every person should be required to comply with wildlife resource preservation, protection, management, and restoration laws, regulations, ordinances, resolutions, and administrative rules of the participating states as a condition precedent to the continuance or issuance of any approval to hunt, fish, trap, or possess wildlife.
29.03(1)(a)5. 5. Violation of wildlife resource laws interferes with the management of wildlife resources and may endanger the safety of persons and property.
29.03(1)(a)6. 6. The mobility of many violators necessitates the maintenance of channels of communication among the various states.
29.03(1)(a)7. 7. Usually, if a person is cited for a wildlife violation in a state other than the person's home state, one or more of the following occur:
29.03(1)(a)7.a. a. The violator is required to post collateral or a bond to secure appearance for a trial at a later date.
29.03(1)(a)7.b. b. The violator is taken into custody until the collateral or bond is posted.
29.03(1)(a)7.c. c. The violator is taken directly to court for an immediate appearance.
29.03(1)(a)8. 8. The purpose of the enforcement practices described in subd. 7. is to ensure compliance with the terms of a wildlife citation by the violator who, if permitted to continue on his or her way after receiving the citation, could return to his or her home state and disregard the terms of the citation.
29.03(1)(a)9. 9. Usually, a person receiving a wildlife citation in his or her home state is permitted to accept the citation from the officer at the scene of the violation and immediately continue on his or her way after agreeing or being instructed to comply with the terms of the citation.
29.03(1)(a)10. 10. The enforcement practices described in subd. 7. may cause unnecessary inconvenience and hardship for the violator who is unable at the time to post collateral, furnish a bond, stand trial, or pay a penalty, and thus is compelled to remain in custody until some alternative arrangement is made.
29.03(1)(a)11. 11. The enforcement practices described in subd. 7. consume an undue amount of law enforcement time.
29.03(1)(b) (b) It is the policy of the participating states to do all of the following:
29.03(1)(b)1. 1. Promote compliance with the laws, regulations, ordinances, resolutions, and administrative rules relating to management of wildlife resources in their respective states.
29.03(1)(b)2. 2. Recognize the suspension of wildlife license privileges of any person whose license privileges have been suspended by a participating state and treat the suspension as if it had occurred in the home state.
29.03(1)(b)3. 3. Allow a violator, except as provided in sub. (3) (b), to accept a wildlife citation and, without delay, proceed on his or her way, whether or not a resident of the state in which the citation was issued, if the violator's home state is party to this compact.
29.03(1)(b)4. 4. Report to the appropriate participating state, as provided in the compact manual, any conviction recorded against a violator whose home state was not the issuing state.
29.03(1)(b)5. 5. Allow the home state to recognize and treat a conviction recorded against a resident, which occurred in a participating state other than the home state, as though the conviction had occurred in the home state.
29.03(1)(b)6. 6. Extend cooperation to its fullest extent among the participating states for enforcing compliance with the terms of a wildlife citation issued in one participating state to a resident of another participating state.
29.03(1)(b)7. 7. Maximize effective use of law enforcement personnel and information.
29.03(1)(b)8. 8. Assist court systems in the efficient disposition of wildlife violations.
29.03(1)(c) (c) The purpose of this compact is to do all of the following:
29.03(1)(c)1. 1. Provide a means through which participating states may join in a reciprocal program to effectuate the policies enumerated in par. (b) in a uniform and orderly manner.
29.03(1)(c)2. 2. Provide for the fair and impartial treatment of violators in all participating states in recognition of the violator's right to due process and the sovereign status of a participating state.
