The internal committee will recommend to the director or the
director's designee which conservation organizations are best qualified to
promote the state and its natural resources. In making recommendations to the
director or the director's designee, the internal committee will base its
recommendations on the expected ability of hunters to promote the state and its
natural resources and, if applicable, based on the degree of success special
license holders have had in previous years or seasons in promoting the state
and its natural resources. By way of illustration, the committee may consider
requests from the following:
(1) A
hunter who has a direct beneficial impact on the state through an arm's-length
business relationship with an Iowa-based outdoor industry.
(2) A conservation organization that will use
the special nonresident deer license as a fundraiser for that organization. A
conservation organization shall be limited to one special nonresident deer
license per year, whether the organization is a local or state chapter or
division of a national or international conservation organization. The
organization shall return to the department the greater amount of either
one-half of the proceeds from its sale of the special nonresident deer license
or the fee for a nonresident deer license as set forth in Iowa Code section
483A.1. The department's
proceeds shall cover the cost of the special nonresident deer license. A
license made available to a conservation organization in accordance with this
subrule may be valid for up to two years after selection of the organization by
the director or the director's designee. The sponsoring conservation
organization shall notify the coordinator by July 1 or immediately following
the sale of the special nonresident deer license of which year and for what
season the special nonresident deer license will be used. The conservation
organization shall specifically explain how and during what period the
organization will market the special nonresident deer license for auction or
some other legal fundraiser.
(3) A
hunter nominated by the governor or a member of the Iowa legislature.
(4) A hunter recommended by the
department.
(5) A hunter who is a
well-known public figure nationally or regionally and who may provide a
positive portrayal of the state and its natural resources.
