1. (a) A person who furnishes information leading to the arrest and conviction of a person for a flagrant violation of this code or a regulation or proclamation adopted under this code that applies to the taking, possession, or sale of an animal, bird, reptile, or fish may apply to the committee for a reward to be paid from the operation game thief fund.
2. (b) The committee may consider claims made at any time before its meeting, but consideration is limited to claims that relate to final convictions.
3. (c) The committee shall prescribe and furnish the forms on which claims are to be made, including any documentation to be furnished to substantiate the claim.
4. (d) For purposes of this section, "flagrant violation" means a violation of the hunting or fishing laws that is so extreme, conspicuous, or outstandingly bad as to be impossible not to notice. A violation of the hunting or fishing license provisions in Chapter 42 or 46 of this code is not a flagrant violation.
