1 1 Section 1. Section 483A.24, subsections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and
1 2 7, Code 1995, are amended by striking the subsections and
1 3 inserting in lieu thereof the following:
1 4 2. a. As used in this subsection:
1 5 (1) "Family member" means a resident of Iowa who is the
1 6 spouse or child of the owner or tenant and who resides with
1 7 the owner or tenant.
1 8 (2) "Farm unit" means all parcels of land, not necessarily
1 9 contiguous, which are operated as a unit for agricultural
1 10 purposes and which are under the lawful control of the owner
1 11 or tenant.
1 12 (3) "Owner" means an owner of a farm unit who is a
1 13 resident of Iowa and who is one of the following:
1 14 (a) Is the sole operator of the farm unit.
1 15 (b) Makes all of the farm operation decisions but
1 16 contracts for custom farming or hires labor for all or part of
1 17 the work on the farm unit.
1 18 (c) Participates annually in farm operation decisions or
1 19 cropping practices on specific fields of the farm unit that
1 20 are rented to a tenant.
1 21 (d) Raises specialty crops on the farm unit including, but
1 22 not limited to, orchards, nurseries, or tree farms that do not
1 23 always produce annual income but require annual operating
1 24 decisions about maintenance or improvement.
1 25 (e) Has all or part of the farm unit enrolled in a long-
1 26 term agricultural land retirement program of the federal
1 27 government.
1 28 An "owner" does not mean a person who owns a farm unit and
1 29 who employs a farm manager or third party to operate the farm
1 30 unit, or a person who owns a farm unit and who rents the
1 31 entire farm unit to a tenant who is responsible for all farm
1 32 operations. However this paragraph does not apply to an owner
1 33 who is a parent of the tenant and who resides in this state.
1 34 (4) "Tenant" means a person who is a resident of Iowa and
1 35 who rents and actively farms a farm unit owned by another
2 1 person. A member of the owner's family may be a tenant. A
2 2 person who works on the farm for a wage and is not a family
2 3 member does not qualify as a tenant.
2 4 b. Upon written application on forms furnished by the
2 5 department, the department shall issue annually without fee
2 6 one deer or one wild turkey license, or both, to the owner of
2 7 a farm unit or to a member of the owner's family, but not to
2 8 both, and to the tenant or to a member of the tenant's family,
2 9 but not to both. The deer hunting license or wild turkey
2 10 hunting license issued shall be valid only on the farm unit
2 11 for which an applicant qualifies pursuant to this subsection
2 12 and shall be equivalent to the least restrictive license
2 13 issued under section 481A.38. The owner or the tenant need
2 14 not reside on the farm unit to qualify for a free license to
2 15 hunt on that farm unit.
2 16 c. In addition to the free deer hunting license received,
2 17 an owner of a farm unit or a member of the owner's family and
2 18 the tenant or a member of the tenant's family may purchase a
2 19 deer hunting license for any option offered to paying deer
2 20 hunting licensees.
2 21 3. The director shall provide up to twenty-five
2 22 nonresident deer hunting licenses for allocation as requested
2 23 by a majority of a committee consisting of the majority leader
2 24 of the senate, speaker of the house of representatives, and
2 25 director of the department of economic development, or their
2 26 designees. The licenses provided pursuant to the subsection
2 27 shall be in addition to the number of nonresident licenses
2 28 authorized pursuant to section 483A.8. The purpose of the
2 29 special nonresident licenses is to allow state officials and
2 30 local development groups to promote the state and its natural
2 31 resources to nonresident guests and dignitaries. Photographs,
2 32 video tapes, or any other form of media resulting from the
2 33 hunting visitation shall not be used for political campaign
2 34 purposes. The nonresident licenses shall be issued without
2 35 application upon payment of the nonresident deer hunting
3 1 license fee and the wildlife habitat stamp fee. The licenses
3 2 are valid in all zones open to deer hunting. The hunter
3 3 safety and ethics education certificate requirement pursuant
3 4 to section 483A.27 is waived for a nonresident issued a
3 5 license pursuant to this subsection.
3 6 4. The director shall provide up to twenty-five
3 7 nonresident wild turkey hunting licenses for allocation as
3 8 requested by a majority of a committee consisting of the
3 9 majority leader of the senate, speaker of the house of
3 10 representatives, and director of the department of economic
3 11 development, or their designees. The licenses provided
3 12 pursuant to the subsection shall be in addition to the number
3 13 of nonresident licenses authorized pursuant to section 483A.7.
3 14 The purpose of the special nonresident licenses is to allow
3 15 state officials and local development groups to promote the
3 16 state and its natural resources to nonresident guests and
3 17 dignitaries. Photographs, video tapes, or any other form of
3 18 media resulting from the hunting visitation shall not be used
3 19 for political campaign purposes. The nonresident licenses
3 20 shall be issued without application upon payment of the
3 21 nonresident wild turkey hunting license fee and the wildlife
3 22 habitat stamp fee. The licenses are valid in all zones open
3 23 to wild turkey hunting. The hunter safety and ethics
3 24 education certificate requirement pursuant to section 483A.27
3 25 is waived for a nonresident issued a license pursuant to this
3 26 subsection.
