What’s in it

This bill relates to fees for lifetime fur harvester licenses. Under current law, the fee for a lifetime fur harvester license is established by rule by the department of natural resources (DNR). The bill sets the fee at $5, plus any additional processing fee. Additionally, the bill requires DNR to refund a resident of Iowa who previously purchased a lifetime fur harvester license the amount the resident paid in excess of $7. Lifetime fur harvester licenses are currently available for purchase by residents of Iowa who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty and who were disabled during military service. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
