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 would cause it to expire on June 30, 2025, which has now been deleted.

Under the amended law, individuals are permitted to take deer, bear, turkey, common carp, or native rough fish using a crossbow during the regular archery seasons, provided they meet the necessary transportation and equipment requirements. Additionally, hunters must possess a valid license for the respective game they are pursuing. The removal of the expiration date allows for the continued use of crossbows in these hunting activities without a set end date.
