The bill amends Section 483A.24 of the Iowa Code to include provisions for issuing a lifetime fur harvester license to disabled veterans. Specifically, it allows residents of Iowa who have served in the armed forces on federal active duty and who are either disabled or were prisoners of war to obtain this license upon payment of the established fee. The language of the bill replaces references to lifetime fishing licenses and lifetime hunting and fishing combined licenses with the inclusion of the lifetime fur harvester license.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) prepare an application for individuals seeking the lifetime fur harvester license. The Department of Veterans Affairs is tasked with assisting the DNR in verifying the status or claims of applicants, ensuring that only eligible veterans receive this benefit. This legislation aims to enhance the recreational opportunities available to disabled veterans in Iowa.
