Commissioner of natural resources prohibited from limiting number of native rough fish taken in one day or number possessed.
This bill prohibits the Minnesota Commissioner of Natural Resources from setting daily catch limits or possession limits for native rough fish. It directly affects anglers who fish for rough fish in Minnesota waters by removing regulatory restrictions on how many they can catch in a single day or keep at one time. The legislation amends existing state statutes to explicitly forbid the commissioner from prescribing these specific limits, though it does not change other existing fishing regulations. The law takes effect immediately upon final passage by the legislature.
