Des Moines Meeting Set for Proposed Regulations When Issuing Free Fishing and Hunting Licenses
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will host a public meeting to receive comments on proposed changes on how it issues free fishing and/or hunting licenses to people who are eligible according to a disability and/or age or low income status. The proposed changes clarify severe mental disability and severe physical disability; establishes a means to verify low income persons; substitutes a free lifetime fishing license with a free annual fishing license; clarifies procedure when issuing a free fishing or hunting license; permits enforcement capability in revoking licenses issued in violation of this rule; and provides a mechanism through which the department may deny, suspend or revoke licenses of persons who owe the State of Iowa money pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 272D. The public meeting will begin at 1 p.m., October 27, in the Wallace State Office Building, Conference Room 4E, 502 E. 9th Street, in Des Moines. Any persons who attend the public hearing and have special needs, such as hearing or mobility impairments should contact the Department of Natural Resources and advise of specific needs. The DNR will be accepting written comments through October 27. Comments are to be sent to Martin Konrad, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 502 E. 9th St., Des Moines, IA 50319-0034 or to Martin.Konrad@dnr.iowa.gov; oral comments may be made by calling 515-281-6976 or 515-281-6976 or expressed in person at the fisheries bureau office on the fourth floor of the Wallace Building.
