A bill for an act relating to fees for lifetime fur harvester licenses.
HF 2293 sets a $5 fee for lifetime fur harvester licenses in Iowa, specifically for residents who served on active duty in the U.S. military and were disabled during service (as defined by 38 U.S.C. ch. 11). The bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to issue these licenses upon payment of the $5 fee plus any processing fee, and mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs to verify applicants' military disability status. This directly affects disabled veterans seeking permanent hunting rights for fur harvesting. The change standardizes the fee, which was previously set by department rule, and streamlines the application process through VA verification.
