What’s in it
AI summary Iowa residents who served in the military and became disabled can buy a lifetime fur harvester license for $5 plus a processing fee. People who already bought this license for more than $7 will get a refund for the extra money they paid. This change sets a specific price for the license instead of letting the Department of Natural Resources decide the cost.1
