A bill for an act relating to ginseng harvesting privileges for disabled veterans.

This bill creates a lifetime ginseng harvesting permit for Iowa disabled veterans. It allows eligible veterans - defined as honorably discharged veterans with any service-connected disability rating (0% or higher) - to pay a one-time $7 fee for a permit valid for life, replacing annual permits. The permit authorizes ginseng harvesting under existing season, quantity, and reporting rules set by the Department of Natural Resources. All fees collected will fund the state fish and game protection program.
