Bill > HF3257

This bill appropriates a total of $90,000 ($45,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $45,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of agriculture for wolf-livestock conflict prevention grants. These grants are authorized under Minnesota Statutes, section 3.737, which likely addresses methods to reduce conflicts between wolves and livestock. The bill specifically allows the commissioner to use part of the appropriation to support nonlethal prevention work performed by federal wildlife services, suggesting an emphasis on preventing wolf-livestock conflicts through methods that do not involve killing wolves, such as protective fencing, guard animals, or other deterrent techniques.
