The bill establishes the Minnesota Sustainable Foraging Task Force, which will be created by the commissioner of natural resources by September 1, 2025. The task force is tasked with developing scientifically sound recommendations for foraging regulations on state lands, aiming to balance ecological sustainability with public access to natural resources. It will consist of various members, including legislators, scientists, representatives from Indigenous communities, and experts in food safety and conservation, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives.

The task force will gather data on the impact of foraging, review existing regulations, and create guidelines that respect both conservation needs and cultural practices. It will also develop educational materials and a permitting model that allows foraging permits to be obtained through volunteerism. The task force is required to submit a report with its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2026, after which it will expire.
