The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97B.515, subdivision 2, to establish a requirement for an open season for moose during any year when there is also an open season for elk. This change aims to align the hunting seasons for these two species, ensuring that both can be hunted concurrently when conditions allow.

Specifically, the bill removes the previous stipulation regarding the number of animals that could be hunted and introduces a new requirement that prohibits the commissioner from prescribing an open season for moose unless there is also an open season for elk in that same year. This legislative change is intended to streamline hunting regulations and enhance the management of natural resources in Minnesota.
