N.D. Cent. Code § 20.1-01-26
In addition to the penalty provided upon conviction under this title, the court may suspend the defendant's hunting, trapping, or fishing privileges for up to three years; however, if the defendant is convicted of an offense under section 20.1-01-33, the court may suspend the defendant's hunting, trapping, or fishing privileges for up to the life of the defendant but not less than five years. The court may not suspend the defendant's privileges for a noncriminal violation if the defendant has not been convicted for a violation of this title in the last three years. Upon conviction for a violation of section 20.1-01-18, the court shall suspend the defendant's hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges for a period of at least one year, two years for the second conviction, and three years for the third or subsequent conviction. At the time of the suspension, the court shall determine whether the defendant must successfully complete the hunter education course provided for in section 20.1-03-01.1, as prescribed by the proper state or provincial natural resources or wildlife management agency, before the defendant may purchase a new or obtain the return of a valid hunting license.
Upon imposition of the suspension, the court shall take any hunting, trapping, or fishing license or permit held by the defendant and forward it, together with a certified copy of the suspension order, to the director. Except as otherwise provided in this section, upon expiration of the suspension, the director shall return the person's license or permit if it is still valid. No person may purchase, or attempt to purchase, a hunting, trapping, or fishing license or permit during a suspension period. If the court so ordered, no person who has had a hunting license suspended may purchase or attempt to purchase a hunting license nor may the director return a valid hunting license until the person has successfully completed the course provided for in section 20.1-03-01.1 and as prescribed by the proper state or provincial natural resources or wildlife management agency. A certificate of completion for a similar course issued by any other state or province of Canada is sufficient to meet this requirement. The person shall file proof of that completion with the court.
For the purpose of this section, the term "conviction" includes an admission or adjudication of a noncriminal violation.
