Iowa Republicans oppose in-state license hikes while eyeing nonresident increases
Iowa lawmakers said there will be no rise in in-state hunting boating or fishing licenses this year to reassure sportsmen. DNR proposed higher fees for residents and larger hikes for nonresidents with large boat licenses rising from 10 to 28 dollars to 25 to 35 dollars. House leaders disputed the governor's tax and fee stance while noting out-of-state residents could face higher costs and rejected shifting fee authority to a DNR commission.
