(a) For failure of any defendant to pay a forfeiture or any ordered costs in any hunting or fishing, trapping, or gathering action, the court may order suspensions of any of the defendant's hunting, fishing, trapping or gathering rights until such forfeiture or costs are paid.

(b) Such suspension shall be effected by the Clerk of Court, without further order of the court, if the defendant was advised in open court of the date upon which final payment was due and that the specific suspension ordered would follow nonpayment.

(c) If the defendant was not so advised in open court, the court shall schedule and notice a hearing at which defendant shall be ordered to show cause why suspension should not be ordered. After such hearing, or upon defendant's failure to appear at such hearing, the court may order the suspension.

(d) All forfeitures not paid. When due shall accrue interest at the rate of 1«< percent per month on the unpaid balance, the first month's interest to be due on the day following the initial due date, and each subsequent month's interest accruing on the same day of each month thereafter.
