If the council, after hearing shall, in its discretion, determine that by reason of the minor nature of the violations involved, or of other extenuating circumstances, such license should be restored, it shall direct the director to cause to be endorsed upon said license that the same has been restored and to return such license to said person, but only if the person first completes, to the satisfaction of the Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife, the approved remedial sportsmen education program established and conducted by the division pursuant to section 12 of P.L.1990, c.29 (C. 23:3-22.3).
