The bill establishes a new section in Iowa law regarding deer hunting privileges specifically for disabled veterans. It allows residents who have served in the armed forces on federal active duty and have been disabled during their service to use a deer hunting license and tag issued to them during any established deer hunting season, provided that the method of take corresponds with that authorized by the license. The bill defines "disabled" as being entitled to a service-connected rating under federal law.
Additionally, the bill requires that individuals hunting under this provision must display proof of their residency and disability status upon request from a peace officer. Failure to provide this documentation is classified as a simple misdemeanor, subject to a scheduled fine of $30. However, individuals charged with this offense can avoid conviction by presenting the required proof in court within a reasonable timeframe.
