deer license under this rule may purchase preference points for the regular
nonresident deer license and shall not lose those preference points when
awarded a deer license under this rule.
(2)
Review. The internal
committee shall review the summaries prepared by the coordinator, rank the
hunters according to criteria in rule

rankings to the director or the director's designee for consideration and final
selection. The internal committee shall exercise its discretion and, in

consider the following:

demonstrate little or no promotion of the state of Iowa or its natural

the director or the director's designee.
b. Requests from a sponsor, a sponsor-related
entity, or hunter that has been found guilty of a game violation in Iowa or
elsewhere within the past five years or that, in the opinion of the internal
committee, has exhibited poor hunting ethics or judgment shall not be
considered for a special license.
c. Review of requests shall occur at least
once annually but may occur more frequently as needed based upon the number of
requests and the dates by which they are received.

Selection and payment.
Upon notice of selection to receive a special license, the sponsor or hunter
shall make payment in accordance with rule
561-12.12 (483A) to the
department through the coordinator. Payment must be made at least 30 days prior
