This bill mandates the commissioner of natural resources to amend existing rules regarding youth hunting days in Minnesota. Specifically, it requires that Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days be scheduled for two consecutive weekends each year, with hunting allowed on both days of each weekend.
To facilitate this change, the bill allows the commissioner to utilize the good cause exempt rulemaking procedure, which streamlines the process for implementing these new regulations. The provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 14.386, which typically govern rulemaking, will not apply in this case, thereby expediting the amendment process.
