What’s in it
AI summary Iowa residents who are disabled veterans could get lifetime hunting and fishing licenses for free. To qualify, applicants must show proof of their military service, their disability rating, and that they live in Iowa. The state's veterans affairs department will help verify these claims for the department of natural resources.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to lifetime hunting and fishing licenses available to 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 shall be issued a lifetime fishing license or lifetime hunting and fishing combined license after payment of a fee established by rule. Under the bill, a resident disabled veteran may apply for and receive a lifetime fishing license or a lifetime hunting and fishing combined license without fee. A person applying for a license under the bill shall provide proof of service in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty, proof of disability resulting from that service, a disability rating of at least percent determined by the department of veterans affairs, and proof of Iowa residency at the time of application. The bill requires the department of veterans affairs to assist the department of natural resources in verifying the status or claims of applicants under the bill. 11.
