This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97B.037, to remove the expiration date for crossbow hunting and fishing allowances. Previously, the section included a provision that stated the allowance would expire on June 30, 2025, which has now been deleted.
As a result of this amendment, individuals will continue to be permitted to take deer, bear, turkey, common carp, or native rough fish using a crossbow during the regular archery seasons without the concern of an impending expiration. The existing requirements for crossbows and licensing remain unchanged, ensuring that hunters and fishers must still comply with the necessary regulations.
