Prohibit the commissioner of natural resources from limiting number of native rough fish taken in one day or number possessed
This bill (SF 3877) prohibits Minnesota's commissioner of natural resources from setting daily catch limits or possession limits for native rough fish (such as carp or suckers). It directly affects the commissioner's regulatory authority under state law, removing their ability to restrict how many of these fish anglers can take or keep. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97C.401, by adding a new provision stating the commissioner "must not prescribe limits" on these fish. The change would take effect immediately after the bill is signed into law.
