The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 97B.037, to remove the age limitation for hunting with a crossbow during regular archery seasons. Previously, only individuals aged 60 or over were permitted to hunt deer, bear, turkey, or rough fish using a crossbow. The new language allows any person, regardless of age, to participate in crossbow hunting during these seasons.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing transportation requirements for crossbows and ensures that they meet specific regulations outlined in section 97B.106, subdivision 2. It also stipulates that individuals must possess a valid license to hunt the respective game, ensuring that all hunters comply with licensing requirements.
