This bill proposes the appropriation of funds to support the "Fishing in the Neighborhood" program in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $200,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $200,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the game and fish fund. The funds are designated for the commissioner of natural resources to expand the program across various counties and cities in the state.

The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance angling opportunities for children, promote public awareness about fishing, and foster environmental stewardship. By increasing access to fishing activities, the program aims to engage more youth in outdoor recreational activities and instill a sense of responsibility towards natural resources.
