Read the official explanation
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. 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.
Why it matters. Iowa residents who served on federal active duty and were disabled during their military service can purchase a lifetime fur harvester license for a set fee of $5 plus any additional processing fees. This change replaces the current system where the department of natural resources sets the license fee through its own rules.2
