A bill for an act relating to bison and nondomesticated haired sheep being hunted or kept for hunting purposes when on a hunting preserve.

HF 134 clarifies that bison and wild or semi-wild haired sheep kept or hunted on licensed Iowa hunting preserves are not considered "livestock" under state law. This bill amends two sections of Iowa code to exclude these animals from the legal definition of "livestock" and from laws prohibiting injury to livestock under customary husbandry practices. The change directly affects licensed hunting preserves by removing regulatory burdens related to livestock classification for these specific animals. The bill creates a clear legal distinction for hunting operations managing these species on their property.
