Commissioner of natural resources required to provide unimpeded access to state forest roads for certain commercial purposes.

HF 813 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Natural Resources to ensure unimpeded access to state forest roads for specific commercial activities. The bill directly affects commercial minnow trappers, leech trappers, fur trappers, and loggers who use these roads for their work. It mandates that if permits are needed for road access, the commissioner or state agencies must issue them to these groups without delay. The law amends existing statute to explicitly guarantee this access as part of forest road management policy. This change clarifies and enforces existing access rights for these four commercial user groups.
