Bill > SF1828

This bill modifies the age-related exemptions for certain hunting and fishing licenses in Minnesota. The key provisions are: - Raises the age limit from 16 to 18 for residents and nonresidents to fish and take small game without a license. - Expands the ages where individuals can take certain game like deer, turkey, and bear without a license or at a reduced fee, increasing the age range from 13-16 up to 13-18 in some cases. - Allows nonresidents under 18 to take small game without a license, with some exceptions. - Repeals several subdivisions related to license exemptions for 16- and 17-year-olds. - Makes other minor adjustments to hunting and fishing license fees and requirements. The bill aims to update Minnesota's hunting and fishing license regulations to be more inclusive of older youth while maintaining key safety and conservation requirements.
