A bill for an act relating to hunting seasons during which a nonambulatory hunter may use certain firearms with a specifically issued deer hunting license.

This bill (HF 646) allows nonambulatory Iowa residents to hunt deer with specific firearms during designated firearm deer hunting seasons using a special "any sex" license. It requires applicants to provide a physician-signed form verifying their nonambulatory status and limits the license to one season (if a deer tag is filled during that season). Currently, nonambulatory hunters could use these firearms during any deer hunting season, but this bill restricts their use to only established firearm seasons. The change applies solely to hunting regulations for Iowa residents with mobility challenges seeking deer hunting permits.
