A bill for an act relating to raccoons, including restrictions on taking, reimbursement requirements, and scheduled fine amounts, and providing penalties.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that anyone who illegally takes, harms, or possesses a raccoon must pay a $15 fine and reimburse the state $15, instead of the current $200. It also bars the Natural Resources Department from setting seasonal restrictions on raccoon hunting for holders of a fur harvester license or field‑trial permit. The changes affect hunters, trappers, and the state agency that enforces wildlife rules.
