This bill amends the size requirement for a farm unit in Iowa to qualify for special turkey and deer hunting licenses. Specifically, it changes the definition of a farm unit from requiring tracts of land to be two or more contiguous acres to a new requirement of 40 or more contiguous acres. This adjustment is intended to ensure that only larger agricultural properties can receive these special hunting licenses.

The bill modifies Section 483A.24 of the Iowa Code, which currently allows owners or tenants of farm units to obtain special hunting licenses. By increasing the minimum size requirement, the legislation aims to potentially limit the number of licenses issued and focus on larger farming operations.
