HF 4099 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibition on new white-tailed deer farms removed.

This bill removes a ban on establishing new white-tailed deer farms in Minnesota by amending state law. It allows individuals to register with the Board of Animal Health to legally operate new farms for raising white-tailed deer, while maintaining existing registration requirements for all farmed deer. The legislation does not change rules for current farm owners or their ability to transfer registrations to family members. Only the prohibition on new farm registrations is lifted, and all farms must still comply with existing registration and oversight procedures.
