Bill Summary
This bill relates to residency requirements for fishing and hunting licenses. Under current law, for the purposes of obtaining a license as described in Code section 483A.1, a natural person can claim resident status if the person can meet any one of certain criteria. The bill adds to the list of criteria any person who is or was required to file a tax return in Iowa for the previous tax year. The bill directs the department of natural resources (DNR) to coordinate with the department of revenue to verify the person’s information. The bill explains that the department of revenue will not provide any more information to DNR than what is necessary to confirm the required tax status. The bill makes conforming changes in chapters governing the department of revenue to allow the necessary information disclosure.
