Iowa HF388 modifies the allocation of nonresident deer hunting licenses by changing the distribution method for the final 35 percent of licenses.

Iowa HF388 amends the allocation of nonresident deer hunting licenses issued by the Natural Resource Commission. Currently, 65 percent of the 6,000 available licenses are awarded based on preference points from applicant pools, while the remaining 35 percent are distributed randomly. The bill retains the preference point system for the initial 65 percent of licenses but changes the method for the final 35 percent to a random drawing of all applications, disregarding preference points. This change aims to ensure a more equitable distribution of the remaining licenses.
