Amended Iowa Code section 483A.24, subsection 17 to strike the authority for the Natural Resource Commission to set the fee by rule and to fix it in the statute instead: the department shall issue a lifetime fur harvester licence "upon payment of a fee of five dollars, and any processing fee" to a resident of Iowa who served on federal active duty and was disabled during military service, with "disabled" meaning entitled to a service connected rating under 38 U.S.C. chapter 11. Tracked and flagged because the Natural Resource Commission fee schedule at 571 Iowa Administrative Code 15.10(1), paragraph "aa" as published still prices the lifetime fur harvester licence for a disabled veteran at $59.50. The act was approved on June 2, 2026, after the rule page was published, and the statute governs, so a veteran quoted $59.50 at a licence agent is being quoted a superseded figure of more than eleven times the statutory fee. The subsection itself was added only recently, which is why the rule and the statute have not yet met.
