A bill for an act relating to hunter education requirements.

SSB 3120 updates Iowa's hunter education requirements for people born after January 1, 1972. It allows hunters to complete the required education via online courses approved by the Department of Natural Resources, removing the prior requirement for mandatory in-person field days (though optional in-person sessions may still be offered). The bill also expands accepted certifications to include those from nationally recognized organizations, in addition to state, provincial, or international programs meeting specific standards. This directly affects new hunters seeking licenses in Iowa who must now meet these updated education criteria.
