What’s in it
AI summary Iowa residents who are disabled veterans would no longer need to buy hunting, fishing, or fur-trapping licenses. If a conservation officer asks, these veterans must show proof of their age, residency, and military disability status. They also would not have to pay extra fees to fish for trout.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to hunting, trapping, and fishing privileges for certain disabled veterans. Under current law, a resident who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and who was disabled during that veteran’s military service is eligible to obtain a lifetime fishing license or a lifetime hunting and fishing combined license. Under the bill, a resident who is a disabled veteran may hunt without acquiring a hunting license, hunt or trap a fur-bearing animal without acquiring a fur harvester license, or fish without acquiring a fishing license. A resident hunting, trapping, or fishing in such manner shall, upon request of an officer of the department of natural resources, display proof of the veteran’s age, residency, veteran status, and disability status. As a matter of law, a person who is not required to possess a fishing license to fish is not required to pay a trout fishing fee to fish for or possess trout.
