Wild-rice water pesticide protection provisions modifications

SF 3915 amends Minnesota pesticide laws to specifically protect waters supporting wild rice. It defines "wild-rice water" as bodies of water identified by state agencies, near Indian country, or designated for uncultivated wild rice. The bill requires pesticide enforcement actions affecting these waters to be treated as serious violations (not minor), mandates state agencies to include wild-rice waters in pesticide impact assessments and management plans, and directs the state to prevent pesticides from flowing into these waters. These changes directly affect pesticide users, state agencies, and tribal governments responsible for protecting wild rice ecosystems.
