170.2 Farm deer council.
1. A farm deer council is established within the department.
a. The council shall consist of not more than seven members who shall be appointed by the secretary of agriculture. All members must be actively engaged in the production of farm deer and at least four members must be actively engaged in the production of whitetail as farm deer.
b. The members of the council shall serve staggered terms of two years, except that the initial council members shall serve terms of unequal length. A person appointed to fill a vacancy for a member shall serve only for the unexpired portion of the term. A member is eligible for reappointment for three successive terms.
c. The council shall elect a chairperson and meet according to rules adopted by the council. A majority of the council constitutes a quorum and an affirmative vote of a majority of members is necessary for substantive action taken by the council. The majority shall not include any member who has a conflict of interest and a statement by a member of a conflict of interest shall be conclusive for this purpose. A vacancy in the membership does not impair the right of a quorum to exercise all rights and perform all duties of the council.
d. A member of the council is not entitled to receive expenses incurred in the discharge of the member’s duties on the council. A member is also not entitled to receive compensation as otherwise provided in section 7E.6.
2. The council shall do all of the following:
a. Monitor conditions relating to the production of farm deer, the processing of farm deer products, and the marketing of such products. The council shall advise the department about health issues affecting farm deer, including but not limited to chronic wasting disease, and related regulations or practices.
b. Advise the department about the administration and enforcement of this chapter, including but not limited to consulting with the department regarding the rules adopted under this chapter, the certification of fences, and disciplinary actions. However, the council shall not control policy decisions or direct the administration or enforcement of this chapter.
