HF 29: Relating to maximum fur dealer license fees
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill creates a maximum fur dealer license fee of $50, regardless of resident status. Under current administrative rules, a resident fur dealer license costs $264 annually and a nonresident fur dealer license costs $586.50 annually or $292.50 for one day and one location. Current law allows residents from another state to purchase a fur dealer license for the set fee unless that state has reciprocity with Iowa, in which case the nonresident shall pay the reciprocity fee amount that is less than the nonresident license fee but more than the Iowa resident license fee.
