Trumpeter swan study required, and money appropriated.
HF 3647 requires Minnesota's Natural Resources commissioner to study trumpeter swans, including assessing the state's population and evaluating whether a hunting season would be feasible. The bill appropriates a one-time $ amount from the general fund for this study, to be completed by January 15, 2027. The commissioner must submit findings and policy recommendations to key legislative committees on environment and natural resources. This bill directly affects state wildlife management practices and potentially future hunting regulations for trumpeter swans.
