What’s in it

AI summary Iowa residents who became disabled while serving on active duty in the military can use specific deer hunting licenses and tags during any official deer season. If a law enforcement officer asks, these veterans must show proof that they live in Iowa and have a service-connected disability. Failing to show this paperwork could result in a fine.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to deer hunting privileges of disabled veterans. Under the bill, a resident who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty who was disabled during that veteran’s military service may use a deer hunting license and tag issued to the resident during any established deer hunting season for which the method of take authorized for the season being hunted corresponds with the method of take authorized by the license. A person hunting in such manner shall, upon request of a peace officer, display proof of the person’s resident and disability status. A person who fails to provide the necessary documentation is guilty of a simple misdemeanor punishable as a scheduled fine of $30. A person charged with failing to produce the necessary documentation may avoid conviction if the person produces in court, within a reasonable time, proof of the person’s resident and disability status.

Changed since by amendment H-1142; see Amendments.
