Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to game and fish; authorizing emergency importation of minnows to ensure adequate bait supply; amending Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 97C.515, by adding a subdivision.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Minnesota statutes to authorize the emergency importation of live minnows from other states by minnow dealers, minnow retailers, and holders of private fish hatchery licenses, without the need for a permit, when they are unable to procure an adequate supply of bait from sources within the state. The bill requires the importers to notify the commissioner within 48 hours of the importation and allows the commissioner to inspect the imported minnows to determine their quantity, source, species, and health. Additionally, the bill exempts the imported minnows from the restrictions of Section 97C.341, which generally prohibits the importation of minnows.
