The bill establishes a new lifetime fur harvester 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 this 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 the relevant U.S. Code.

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is tasked with setting a fee for the lifetime license and creating an application process for interested veterans. Additionally, the Department of Veterans Affairs will assist the DNR in verifying the claims and status of applicants to ensure that only eligible individuals receive the license. This initiative aims to support disabled veterans by providing them with a lifetime opportunity to engage in fur harvesting activities.
