This bill amends Section 483A.24 of the Iowa Code to include provisions for disabled veterans regarding fur harvesting privileges. 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 a lifetime fur harvester license. This is achieved by inserting the phrase "or lifetime fur harvester license" in multiple places within the existing legal language, while deleting references to only lifetime fishing licenses and lifetime hunting and fishing combined licenses.

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. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the recreational opportunities available to disabled veterans in Iowa by expanding their licensing options.
