AN ACT
RELATING TO SPECIAL LANDOWNER TURKEY HUNTING LICENSES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
Section 1. Section 483A.24, subsection 2, paragraph b, Code
2025, is amended to read as follows:
b. Upon written application on forms furnished by the
department, the department shall issue annually without fee one
wild turkey license to the owner of a farm unit or to a member
of the owner's family, but not to both, and to the tenant or
to a member of the tenant's family, but not to both. The wild
turkey hunting licenses issued shall be valid only on the
farm unit for which an applicant qualifies pursuant to this
subsection and shall be equivalent to the least restrictive
license issued under section 481A.38. The owner or the tenant
need not reside on the farm unit to qualify for a free license
to hunt on that farm unit. The free turkey hunting licenses
issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be valid and may be
used during any bow or firearm open turkey hunting season using
a method of take authorized for that season, subject to any
other restrictions that may apply, without first designating a
Senate File 148, p. 2
season of use for the license. Each license issued under this
paragraph authorizes the person issued the license to harvest
one wild turkey.
