Motorboat operator provisions modified; game and fish license, reporting, and penalty provisions modified; penalties for false statements and alterations of applications, licenses, permits, and registrations created; invasive species provisions modified; and other natural resources provisions modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's natural resources regulations by strengthening penalties for fraudulent motorboat and off-road vehicle registrations while clarifying trail pass requirements. It makes it a misdemeanor for individuals and a gross misdemeanor for dealers to obtain vehicle registrations through fraud, misrepresentation, or by using fake registration stickers. The legislation also requires off-road vehicle trail passes to be available for inspection by law enforcement and conservation officers, and it eliminates a specific lake trout harvest assessment. These changes aim to improve compliance with registration rules and ensure proper enforcement of trail access requirements.
