Requirements for shelters left on ice overnight modified.

This bill modifies safety requirements for shelters left on ice overnight in Minnesota, directly affecting anglers and ice fishing enthusiasts who use fish houses, dark houses, or similar structures. The key provision mandates that any shelter left on the ice overnight must be marked with reflective material on each side, covering a total area of at least 144 square inches per side. This change aims to improve visibility and safety for others on the ice by ensuring these structures are more easily seen during low-light conditions. The amendment updates Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97C.355, subdivision 7a, to reflect this new standard.
