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 to the commissioner of natural resources. The aim of this funding is to expand the program to various counties and cities across the state.

The expansion of the Fishing in the Neighborhood program is intended to enhance angling opportunities for children, raise public awareness about fishing, and promote environmental stewardship. This initiative reflects a commitment to fostering outdoor recreational activities and educating the community about the importance of natural resources.
