Iowa legislative session 2026

It would also qualify anyone who works in Iowa. Union iron worker comes to Lansing to work on the bridge for a few weeks, now he’s a resident.

Remote work?
Gig work of someone who lives across the State line?
Contractors who take bids in multiple States?
Pass through investors?

And those are just the legitimate jobs. I could hire 1000 NR’s and pay them a salary, then have them pay me back under the table.

If this passes any chance you could open a LTE trail clearing position ? I even have my own saw !!

I can, but it’s going to cost you. You’ll have to pay the big man.

Introduced today - expands hunting and fishing residency to anyone filing a IA tax return with the last 24 months. Basically anyone could loophole around to pay resident prices.

Note, not income tax return, ANY tax return!

Email House Committee on State Government members to express your opinions. Please help support resident preference for hunting and fishing opportunities. Thanks!!

I said this to some friends when the party hunting rule was "clarified" to exclude non-residents, that the people that pushed/celebrated that are going to regret it.

It might not be this year or next year, but there's going to be NR landowner tags and/or more buck tags issued. There's too much money riding on it.

There's too much money riding on it.

Money rides from NR landowners into politician’s pockets. Legislators are hellbent on pimping out our State’s resources - constituents be damned.

Referred to Ways and Means. To the best of my understanding, this is for financial impact analysis. Less of a concern at this point as the bill did not survive either of the legislative funnels in this session, so at this point would have to come back as a zombie bill (unlikely), or get rolled into an omnibus package (also unlikely).

Oddly quiet year for the crossbow industry, the outfitter lobby, and the perennial attacks of Farm Bureau on public land. Unsettling…
