What’s in it

This bill relates to family members hunting on a farm unit. Under current law, only a spouse or minor child who is a resident can qualify for the free wild turkey or deer hunting licenses issued to landowners and tenants. The bill changes the definition of “family member” for purposes of free wild turkey and deer hunting licenses issued to landowners and tenants to include the spouse and both minor and adult children of the owner or tenant regardless of the family member’s residency status. The bill also excludes deer hunting licenses obtained by family members under Code section 483.24, subsection 2, from the nonresident license limits even if the family member is not a resident of Iowa.
