HF 413 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Age to angle without a license modified.

HF 413 amends Minnesota Statutes to lower the age for license-free fishing from 90 to 65 years old for state residents. It directly affects Minnesotans aged 65 or older who wish to fish without purchasing a license. The bill changes Section 97A.451, subdivision 8 of Minnesota Statutes to state that residents 65 or older may fish without a license. This is a straightforward policy change modifying eligibility criteria for recreational fishing privileges. The amendment does not alter other fishing regulations or fees for younger residents.
