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.
