What’s in it
AI summary Iowa residents who served on active duty in the military and were either disabled or prisoners of war can get a lifetime license to hunt for fur. The Department of Natural Resources will set the price for this license and create an application for people to use. The Department of Veterans Affairs will help check that applicants qualify for the special license.1
Read the official explanation
This bill creates a lifetime fur harvester license for a resident of Iowa who has served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and who was disabled, as defined in the bill, or was a prisoner of war during that veteran’s military service. The bill requires the department of natural resources (DNR) to establish a fee by rule for the lifetime fur harvester license and prepare an application to be used by a person requesting a lifetime fur harvester license. The department of veterans affairs shall assist DNR in verifying the status or claims of applicants and utilize the fees collected to recover costs associated with the license’s administration.
Why it matters. Iowa residents who served on federal active duty and were disabled or prisoners of war would be eligible for a lifetime fur harvester license. The Department of Natural Resources would establish the license fee and application process, while the Department of Veterans Affairs would help verify applicant status.2
