A bill for an act creating a lifetime trapping license for disabled veterans.

SF 79 creates a lifetime trapping license for Iowa residents who are disabled veterans. It applies to those who served on federal active duty and were disabled during service (as defined by a service-connected rating under federal law). The Iowa Department of Natural Resources would establish a fee and application process, while the Department of Veterans Affairs would verify applicants' military service and disability status. This policy change provides a permanent hunting/fishing license exemption for eligible veterans without requiring annual renewal.
