This bill amends Section 455A.14 of the Iowa Code to establish new provisions regarding fees for camping and the use of rental facilities at state parks and recreation areas. It authorizes the Department of Natural Resources to set fees for these services, but specifically states that veterans of the armed forces of the United States shall not be required to pay any fees for camping or the use of rental facilities.

Additionally, the bill allows the department to request documentation of a veteran's status to verify eligibility for the fee waiver. This legislative change aims to honor and support veterans by providing them with free access to state parks and recreation areas, thereby enhancing their recreational opportunities.
