A bill for an act relating to the size requirement of a farm unit for purposes of receiving special turkey and deer hunting licenses.

This bill (SF 555) changes Iowa's requirement for land to qualify for special turkey and deer hunting licenses. It increases the minimum farm unit size from 2 contiguous acres to 20 contiguous acres for parcels purchased on or after January 11, 2027. Landowners seeking these special licenses on newly purchased land will now need at least 20 acres, while current landowners with smaller parcels (2+ acres) remain unaffected. The change directly affects new land buyers aiming to use special hunting licenses on their property.
