Hunter-harvested venison donation program modified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's hunter-harvested venison donation program. It allows hunters who legally take deer to donate the full deer carcass (with hide attached) to licensed meat processors, requiring them to provide their DNR license number. Processors can then distribute the venison to charitable food programs. Hunters may also request a portion of the processed venison for personal use if they pay the processing costs, but the entire carcass must be donated initially. The bill directly affects hunters, meat processors, and food assistance programs.
