Keep it Clean program established, and money appropriated.

HF 788 establishes Minnesota's "Keep it Clean" program to prevent water pollution from garbage and human waste left on ice during winter activities. It adds a $10 surcharge to resident and non-resident licenses for fish houses, dark houses, and shelters, with these funds deposited into a dedicated "Keep it Clean account" in the game and fish fund. The program provides grants to local governments and nonprofits for specific pollution prevention efforts, including installing sanitary dumping stations, providing biowaste disposal services, increasing winter enforcement patrols, and running education campaigns. The bill also appropriates initial funding from the general fund and the Keep it Clean account for program administration and grants.
