The bill establishes a lifetime trapping license specifically for disabled veterans residing in Iowa. It amends Section 483A.24 of the Code 2025 by adding a new subsection that outlines the eligibility criteria for the license. To qualify, applicants must be residents of Iowa who have served in the armed forces on federal active duty and have a service-connected disability, as defined by 38 U.S.C. chapter 11. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is tasked with setting a fee for the license and creating an application process for interested individuals.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Veterans Affairs assist the DNR in verifying the claims and status of applicants seeking the lifetime trapping license. This initiative aims to provide recognition and support to disabled veterans by granting them the opportunity to engage in trapping activities without the need for annual licensing.
