A bill for an act relating to national wild turkey federation special registration plates, providing fees, and making appropriations.

HF 797 creates special "National Wild Turkey Federation" license plates for Iowa vehicle owners. To obtain these plates, applicants pay a one-time $25 fee for standard letter-number plates (or $50 total for personalized plates), plus an annual $10 fee on top of regular registration. All fees collected are directed to the state's general fund and then allocated to the Department of Natural Resources to provide grants specifically for wild turkey habitat conservation and hunting programs. Priority for these grants goes to Iowa chapters of nonprofits focused on wild turkey conservation and increasing hunter participation. The bill ensures the Department of Transportation cannot require a minimum number of plate orders before issuing the special plates.
