  1 10 of nonresident licenses authorized pursuant to section 483A.8.

  1 14 dignitaries.  Photographs, videotapes, or any other form of
  1 15 media resulting from the hunting visitation shall not be used

  1 20 hunting.  The hunter safety and ethics education certificate
  1 21 requirement pursuant to section 483A.27 is waived for a
