Grant program to include firearms safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling in school physical education courses established; and money appropriated.

HF 3539 establishes a grant program for Minnesota school districts to integrate firearms safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling into physical education courses. School districts can apply for funding to cover curriculum development, staff training, equipment, and student licenses, with $1 million appropriated for fiscal year 2027. The program requires schools to align activities with existing PE standards and mandates a 2027 report to the legislature on outcomes and participation. This affects public and tribal schools seeking to expand outdoor skills education within required physical education frameworks.
