Bill > SF331

This bill modifies existing Iowa law regarding youth deer hunting licenses by expanding the purchasing and usage periods for these licenses. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to make youth deer hunting licenses available for purchase during the entire general deer hunting license purchasing period, which includes all established deer hunting seasons. The bill also provides more flexibility for young hunters by allowing them to use their youth deer hunting license and tag not only in the season for which it was originally issued, but also in any subsequent established deer hunting season, as long as they use a method of take authorized for that specific season. This change will give youth hunters greater opportunities to use their licenses and potentially increase youth participation in hunting. The bill maintains the existing restriction that if a tag is filled during one season, the license becomes invalid for subsequent seasons.
