This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 97B.037, to remove the expiration date for crossbow hunting and fishing allowances. Previously, the section included a provision that would cause it to expire on June 30, 2026, which has now been deleted. The bill maintains the existing regulations that allow individuals to take deer, bear, turkey, common carp, or native rough fish by crossbow during the regular archery seasons, provided they have the appropriate licenses and comply with transportation and equipment requirements.

By eliminating the expiration date, the bill ensures that the crossbow hunting and fishing provisions remain in effect indefinitely, allowing for continued participation in these activities without the need for future legislative action to renew the allowance. This change reflects a commitment to supporting crossbow use in hunting and fishing practices in Minnesota.
