A bill for an act relating to nonresident deer hunting licenses.
This bill changes Iowa's requirement for nonresident deer hunters. Currently, nonresidents buying antlered or "any sex" deer hunting licenses must always purchase an antlerless license at the same time. The bill modifies this rule: nonresidents only need to buy an antlerless license if the specific hunting zone had antlerless-only licenses available for purchase the previous year, as determined by the wildlife commission. This directly affects nonresident hunters seeking antlered or "any sex" licenses in zones where antlerless licenses were previously offered. The change simplifies the licensing process in zones where antlerless licenses weren't available the prior year.
