The bill proposes the appropriation of funds for wolf-livestock conflict prevention grants in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $45,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $45,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture. These funds are intended to support initiatives aimed at reducing conflicts between wolves and livestock, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 3.737.
Additionally, the bill allows the commissioner to utilize a portion of the appropriated funds to support nonlethal prevention efforts conducted by federal wildlife services. This approach emphasizes the importance of mitigating wolf-livestock conflicts through nonlethal means, thereby promoting coexistence between wildlife and agricultural interests.
