Bill > HF1205

This bill modifies several provisions related to natural resources and outdoor activities in Minnesota. It changes the off-road vehicle state trail pass requirements, allowing operators to carry the pass instead of displaying it on the vehicle and adjusting pass fees and validity periods. The bill adds a definition for "eviscerated" in the context of invasive species regulations and permits possession of certain invasive fish species (bighead, grass, and silver carp) if they are dead and eviscerated. It also expands commercial fishing allowances on Lake Superior to include burbot. Additionally, the bill modifies the public waters inventory process, giving the commissioner more flexibility in reclassifying wetlands and requiring map revisions under certain conditions. The bill removes a previous requirement for the commissioner to submit a biennial report detailing the Department of Natural Resources' activities and land management, and includes a $1,000,000 annual appropriation from the general fund to support public water inventory updates through fiscal year 2032.
