  1  1    Section 1.  Section 483A.8, subsection 7, Code 2018, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    7.  A person who is issued a youth deer hunting license
  1  4 and does not take a deer during the youth deer hunting season
  1  5  may use the deer hunting license and unused tag during any
  1  6 other firearm deer hunting season that is established by the
  1  7 commission to take a deer of either sex.
  1  8                           EXPLANATION
  1  9 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1 10 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
  1 11    Currently, residents of Iowa who are at least 12 but no older
  1 12 than 16 years of age may obtain youth deer hunting licenses and
  1 13 accompanying tags. A youth hunter who fails to take a deer
  1 14 during the youth deer season may use the youth deer license and
  1 15 unused tag during the early or late muzzleloader and one of the
  1 16 two shotgun seasons, but not during any other seasons.
  1 17    This bill removes the seasonal limitations for hunting while
  1 18 using a youth deer license. The bill provides that a youth
  1 19 hunter may use a youth deer license and tag during any deer
  1 20 hunting season, regardless of weapon requirements or other
  1 21 restrictions.
