Senate File 253 amends Section 483A.24 of the Iowa Code to establish a new provision for issuing lifetime fur harvester licenses to certain veterans. Specifically, the bill allows residents of Iowa who have served in the armed forces on federal active duty and have been disabled during their military service to obtain this license upon payment of a fee. The bill mandates the Department of Natural Resources to create an application for this license and requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to assist in verifying the applicants' military status or claims.

The term "disabled" is defined in the bill as being entitled to a service-connected rating under 38 U.S.C. chapter 11. This legislation aims to provide recognition and benefits to veterans who have sacrificed for their country, facilitating their engagement in fur harvesting activities in Iowa.
