Straight-wall cartridge ammunition allowed to be used to take deer statewide.

Maddy summaryHF 613 amends Minnesota hunting regulations to allow hunters statewide to use straight-wall cartridge ammunition for taking deer, removing the previous restriction that limited this ammunition type to the designated "shotgun use area." The bill changes Minnesota Statutes section 97B.318, which previously restricted deer hunting in certain zones to specific firearms, by expanding the allowable ammunition type to all areas of the state. This change directly affects all deer hunters in Minnesota who currently use or wish to use straight-wall cartridge rifles during the regular firearms deer season. The key provision eliminates geographic boundaries for this ammunition type, making it legal for deer hunting anywhere in Minnesota.

Imposition and allocation of certain taxes amended, and retail delivery fee repealed.

Maddy summaryHF 183 repeals a tax on retail delivery services and changes how transportation tax revenue is distributed. It creates a "Transportation Advancement Account" to allocate funds from sales taxes, directing 36% to metropolitan counties, 28% to county highway funds, and smaller shares to city and town road programs. The bill modifies several tax statutes (including sections 297A.94 and 270C.15) to implement these changes, effective July 1, 2025. This directly affects how Minnesota distributes transportation funding from sales tax revenues.
