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 $5, in addition to any processing fees. This change aims to provide clarity and consistency regarding the cost of obtaining a lifetime fur harvester license.

The bill maintains eligibility for the lifetime fur harvester license for 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 the DNR in verifying the status of applicants. The definition of "disabled" is clarified to mean those entitled to a service-connected rating under federal law. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the licensing process for eligible veterans while ensuring they are not burdened by variable fees.
