HF 631 supports and enhances Iowa's treasured hunting and fishing resources.

Please ask the Governor to sign this legislation

General Fund dollars supporting the DNR are at a critical low after a decade of cuts, and that puts some of Iowa's most treasured resources and valued traditions at risk. HF 631 would allow for increases in fees for hunting and fishing licenses, with 100% of the funds going directly to the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund. 

These additional funds would support critical wildlife habitat, which benefits Iowa. Better habitats deliver improved water quality. And better habitats improve hunting and fishing, an $800 million industry in Iowa generating more than 11,500 jobs and $77 million in tax revenue. 

HF 631 was a win-win in both the House and Senate, passing with overwhelming bipartisan support, and was supported by a large contingent of conservation and wildlife groups. 

Now it's time to make this bill a win-win for Iowa and deliver vital dollars for the benefit of Iowa's land, water, wildlife, economic development, and all Iowans' quality of life.
