Bill > SF1251

This bill, titled "Expiration removal of crossbow hunting and fishing allowance," proposes to amend Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 97B.037, by removing the expiration date for allowing the use of crossbows for hunting and fishing. Currently, section 97B.037 permits individuals to hunt deer, bear, turkey, common carp, or native rough fish with a crossbow during their respective regular archery seasons, provided they meet specific requirements such as having a valid license and adhering to transportation rules. The bill's key provision is the deletion of subsection (b), which states that this allowance expires on June 30, 2026, thereby making the crossbow hunting and fishing allowance a permanent provision in Minnesota law.
