This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to reduce angling and deer hunting license fees for residents aged 70 and older. Specifically, it introduces a new fee of $2 for individuals aged 70 or over to take deer with firearms during the regular firearms season and a $2 fee for the same age group to take fish by angling. The bill also updates the numbering of existing clauses in the statutes to accommodate these new insertions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies exemptions from the requirement to possess a pheasant stamp validation and migratory-waterfowl stamp validation for residents over age 65 and other specified groups. The changes will take effect on March 1, 2025, ensuring that older residents benefit from reduced fees for hunting and fishing activities.
