What’s in it

This bill requires the department of natural resources to conduct a one-year study investigating pelican predation in Iowa’s inland waterways, the Mississippi river, and on private farm ponds. The department shall consult with the United States army corps of engineers, the United States fish and wildlife service, and local, state, and federal elected representatives over the span of the study. The department shall submit a report of the study’s findings and make recommendations to the general assembly by December 1, 2025.
