This bill mandates the commissioner of natural resources to amend existing regulations concerning boat storage structures in public waters. Specifically, it requires updates to Minnesota Rules, chapter 6115, to revise the definition of "watercraft canopy" by changing "fabric covered roof" to "fabric- or metal-covered roof."

Additionally, the bill allows for the placement of a boat storage structure on public waters without the need for a permit, provided that the structure features a fabric- or metal-covered roof and complies with other existing regulations outlined in Minnesota Rules, part 6115.0210, subpart 3. This change aims to streamline the process for boat storage while ensuring adherence to safety and environmental standards.
