The bill establishes the Minnesota Sustainable Foraging Task Force, which will consist of various members including legislators, representatives from the Minnesota Mycological Society and Minnesota Foraging Alliance, scientists, and tribal representatives. The task force is tasked with gathering data on the impact of foraging on ecosystems, reviewing existing regulations, and developing science-based foraging guidelines that respect Indigenous practices. They are also responsible for increasing public understanding of sustainable foraging and recommending reduced-priced foraging permits. The task force must submit a report with findings and recommendations by February 28, 2026, and will expire on March 15, 2026, or upon submission of the report.

Additionally, the bill includes a moratorium on any rule-making related to foraging by the commissioner of natural resources until July 1, 2027. This provision aims to ensure that the task force's recommendations are considered before any new regulations are implemented. The task force will receive administrative support from the Legislative Coordinating Commission and will be required to meet regularly, adhering to the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. Members of the task force may receive compensation and reimbursement for expenses as outlined in existing statutes.
