A bill for an act relating to hunter education requirements.

This bill updates Iowa's hunter education requirements for individuals born after January 1, 1972, who need a hunting license. It allows completion of an online hunter education course approved by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to satisfy the requirement, eliminating the need for mandatory in-person field days (though optional in-person sessions may still be offered). The bill also expands acceptable certifications to include those from nationally recognized organizations meeting IHEA-USA standards, in addition to existing recognition of out-of-state certifications and IHEA-USA-approved courses.
