Bill > SF3813

This bill establishes a grant program within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to fund the inclusion of firearms safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling in physical education courses offered by school districts and American Indian-controlled Tribal contract or grant schools. The program aims to increase participation in these activities, ensuring they align with state physical education standards, and the commissioner will strive for geographic balance in selecting participating schools. The bill also mandates that by January 15, 2027, the commissioner must report to legislative committees on the funded activities and their outcomes. A one-time appropriation of $1,000,000 from the general fund is allocated for fiscal year 2027 to implement this program, with funds available for personnel, curriculum development, reporting, staff training, student licenses, and equipment.
