Free angling licenses provided to residents age 65 or over.

HF 411 would provide free permanent fishing licenses to Minnesota residents aged 65 or older. The bill amends state law to require license issuers to provide these licenses without charge, replacing the standard annual fee. Seniors can use a valid driver's license or Minnesota ID as proof of age and residency when obtaining the license. This policy directly affects eligible senior residents by eliminating a recurring cost for recreational fishing.
