Bill > SF540

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Natural Resources to conduct a comprehensive study examining the impact of bald eagles on loons within the state. Specifically, the study must assess how the presence of bald eagles affects juvenile loons and the overall loon population. By March 1, 2026, the commissioner is mandated to submit a detailed report of the study's findings to the chairs and ranking minority members of legislative committees and divisions responsible for environmental oversight. The bill aims to provide policymakers with scientific insights into the ecological interactions between these two bird species, which could potentially inform future conservation or wildlife management strategies.
