The 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 it would expire on June 30, 2025, which has now been deleted.
As a result of this amendment, individuals will continue to be permitted to use crossbows for hunting deer, bear, turkey, common carp, and native rough fish during the regular archery seasons without the concern of an impending expiration. The existing requirements for crossbows and licensing remain in effect, ensuring that hunters comply with the necessary regulations while utilizing crossbows for these activities.
