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 have caused it to expire on June 30, 2026, but this deletion allows for the continuation of crossbow use for hunting deer, bear, turkey, common carp, and native rough fish during the regular archery seasons without a set end date.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the effective date of this amendment will be the day following its final enactment. The existing regulations regarding the use of crossbows, including transportation requirements and licensing, remain intact, ensuring that hunters must still comply with the necessary legal standards while utilizing crossbows for hunting purposes.
