HF 2214 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to fees applicable to veterans for camping or the use of rental facilities at state parks or recreation areas.

This bill (HF 2214) waives all fees for veterans of the U.S. armed forces when camping or using rental facilities at Iowa state parks and recreation areas managed by the Department of Natural Resources. It directly affects veterans who use these state park facilities, eliminating their cost for camping or rentals. The key provision requires the department to not charge veterans fees but allows them to request documentation verifying veteran status to apply the waiver. The bill does not alter fees for non-veterans or create new fees for anyone.
