This bill amends Section 483A.24 of the Iowa Code to establish a fixed fee for lifetime fur harvester licenses. Previously, the fee was determined by rules set by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), but the new legislation specifies that the fee will be set at five dollars, along with any applicable processing fees. This change aims to provide clarity and consistency regarding the cost of obtaining a lifetime fur harvester license.

The bill continues to allow lifetime fur harvester licenses to be issued to Iowa residents who have served in the armed forces on federal active duty and were disabled during their military service. The Department of Veterans Affairs will assist in verifying the status of applicants, ensuring that those eligible for the license are properly recognized. The definition of "disabled" is also clarified in the bill, referring to individuals entitled to a service-connected rating under federal law.
