PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 483A.7, subsection 3, Code 1999, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    3.  A nonresident wild turkey hunter is required to have
  1  4 only a nonresident wild turkey hunting license and pay the
  1  5 wildlife habitat fee.  The commission shall annually limit to
  1  6 two thousand licenses the number of nonresidents allowed to
  1  7 have wild turkey hunting licenses.  Upon application with
  1  8 proof of ownership of land in this state and payment of the
  1  9 applicable fees, the department shall issue a nonresident wild
  1 10 turkey license to the applicant.  The number of nonresident
  1 11 wild turkey hunting licenses shall be determined as provided
  1 12 in section 481A.38.  The commission shall allocate the
  1 13 nonresident wild turkey hunting licenses issued among the
  1 14 zones based on the populations of wild turkey.  A nonresident
  1 15 applying for a wild turkey hunting license must exhibit proof
  1 16 of having successfully completed a hunter safety and ethics
  1 17 education program as provided in section 483A.27 or its
  1 18 equivalent as determined by the department before the license
  1 19 is issued.
  1 20    Sec. 2.  Section 483A.8, subsection 3, Code 1999, is
  1 21 amended to read as follows:
  1 22    3.  A nonresident hunting deer is required to have a
  1 23 nonresident deer license and must pay the wildlife habitat
  1 24 fee.  The commission shall annually limit to seven thousand
  1 25 five hundred licenses the number of nonresidents allowed to
  1 26 have deer hunting licenses.  Of the first six thousand
  1 27 nonresident deer licenses issued, not more than thirty-five
  1 28 percent of the licenses shall be bow season licenses and,
  1 29 after the first six thousand nonresident deer licenses have
  1 30 been issued, all additional licenses shall be issued for
  1 31 antlerless deer only.  Upon application with proof of
  1 32 ownership of land in this state and payment of the applicable
  1 33 fees, the department shall issue a nonresident deer hunting
  1 34 license to the applicant.  The number of nonresident deer
  1 35 hunting licenses shall be determined as provided in section
  2  1 481A.38.  The commission shall allocate the nonresident deer
  2  2 hunting licenses issued among the zones based on the
  2  3 populations of deer.  However, a nonresident applicant may
  2  4 request one or more hunting zones, in order of preference, in
  2  5 which the applicant wishes to hunt.  If the request cannot be
  2  6 fulfilled, the applicable fees shall be returned to the
  2  7 applicant.  A nonresident applying for a deer hunting license
  2  8 must exhibit proof of having successfully completed a hunter
  2  9 safety and ethics education program as provided in section
  2 10 483A.27 or its equivalent as determined by the department
  2 11 before the license is issued.
  2 12    Sec. 3.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act, being deemed of
  2 13 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  2 14                           EXPLANATION 
  2 15    This bill strikes the maximum number of deer hunting
  2 16 licenses and wild turkey hunting licenses which may be issued
  2 17 annually to nonresident hunters.  Under current law, the
  2 18 maximum number of wild turkey hunting licenses for
  2 19 nonresidents is 2,000 annually and the maximum number of deer
  2 20 hunting licenses for nonresidents is 7,500 annually.  The bill
  2 21 also removes the allocations of nonresident deer hunting
  2 22 licenses for bow seasons and for antlerless deer licenses
  2 23 only.
  2 24    The bill also requires, upon application with proof of
  2 25 ownership and payment of applicable fees, the department of
  2 26 natural resources to issue a deer hunting license and a wild
  2 27 turkey hunting license to a nonresident who owns land in this
  2 28 state.
  2 29    This bill takes effect upon enactment.
