Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to natural resources; authorizing the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to assist in locating and recovering deceased big game; requiring a report; amending Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 97B.115.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist in locating and retrieving deceased big game animals, effective January 1, 2026. Currently, the law prohibits the use of computer-assisted remote hunting, but this bill amends that to allow UAV usage for the specific purpose of recovering deceased game. Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Natural Resources to make findings and recommendations by January 1, 2025 on statutory and policy changes needed to facilitate the use of UAVs for this purpose, including licensure requirements, regulations for the UAVs and equipment, the potential need for an annual fee, and ensuring respect for affected property owners.
