A bill for an act relating to special deer hunting licenses available to nonresident family members.

SF 179 creates a special nonresident deer hunting license for family members of Iowa residents. Nonresidents who are parents, spouses, children, or other specified relatives of a resident may buy this license for half the regular nonresident fee. They must hunt with the resident family member on the resident's property and receive the same hunting privileges as residents (including sharing tags in "party hunting"), but still need to purchase an annual nonresident hunting license. This license exempts them from nonresident quotas but requires them to hunt only with the qualifying resident family member.
