Changes allocation of special nonresident deer hunting licenses to Iowa conservation organizations and the governor.

The bill modifies the allocation of 50 special nonresident deer hunting licenses. Currently, 50 licenses are allocated for state officials and local development groups to promote the state to nonresident guests and dignitaries. The bill changes this by allocating 40 licenses to Iowa conservation organizations, as determined by the department, and 10 licenses to the governor. The governor may choose to accept all, part, or none of the licenses. Any licenses not accepted by the governor by September 1 are added to the allocation for Iowa conservation organizations.
