Bill > HF1841

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Natural Resources to take specific actions regarding Little Rock Creek in Morrison County, specifically delisting it as a trout stream and prohibiting future trout stocking. The bill mandates that the commissioner amend Minnesota Rules to remove the current designation of Little Rock Creek as a trout stream and stop stocking trout in this waterway. To implement these changes, the commissioner is authorized to use a "good cause exemption" in the rulemaking process, which allows for a streamlined approach to modifying administrative rules. This exemption means that the typical procedural requirements for rule changes can be bypassed, making it easier and faster to delist the stream. The legislation appears to be a targeted administrative action that will change the management and classification of this specific waterway, potentially reflecting local concerns or environmental management strategies specific to Little Rock Creek in Morrison County.
