What’s in it
AI summary Children living in Iowa can now go along with a parent or guardian while they hunt or trap animals without needing their own license. As long as the child does not hunt, trap, or carry any weapons, they are allowed to be there. Currently, this rule only applies to children accompanying adults who are hunting raccoons.1
Read the official explanation
This bill allows a resident under years of age to accompany the minor’s parent or guardian, or any other competent adult with the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian, without a hunting or fur harvester license while the parent, guardian, or other adult is hunting or trapping any game or fur-bearing animal as long as the minor is not hunting or trapping and does not carry or use a firearm or any other weapon. Under current law, a resident under years of age may accompany the parent, guardian, or other adult without a fur harvester license while the parent, guardian, or other adult is hunting raccoons.
