Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 16.43.855

  • Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • Nolo contendere: No contest-has the same effect as a plea of guilty, as far as the criminal sentence is concerned, but may not be considered as an admission of guilt for any other purpose.
  • Plea: In a criminal case, the defendant's statement pleading "guilty" or "not guilty" in answer to the charges, a declaration made in open court.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
(b) The time periods provided for in Alaska Stat. § 16.43.850 for the accumulation of points shall be based on the date of conviction, either on a plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or a forfeiture of bail or collateral, or as a result of a trial, for violation of a commercial salmon fishing law.
(c) The assessment of points against a permit holder by the commission under Alaska Stat. § 16.43.850 – 16.43.895 is in addition to, and not in substitution for, other provisions of this title and is not a substitute for any penalty imposed by a court.
(d) If points are assessed against a permit holder who holds a commercial fishing permit for a salmon fishery under an emergency transfer approved by the commission under Alaska Stat. § 16.43.180, the same number of points shall also be assessed against the transferor of the permit. Points assessed against the transferor of the permit under this subsection shall be included in calculations made under Alaska Stat. § 16.43.850(d).
