Iowa HF21 allows disabled veterans to fish without a license if their disability occurred during military service.

Iowa HF21 grants fishing privileges to disabled veterans, exempting them from obtaining a fishing license if their disability occurred during military service. This applies to both residents and nonresidents. A disabled veteran must provide proof of their veteran status and disability status upon request by a peace officer. Failure to provide this documentation results in a simple misdemeanor charge with a $35 fine. The bill also includes a conforming change to the Code section concerning nonresident paddlefish fishing licenses and tags.
