Wolf-livestock conflict prevention grants appropriation

This bill appropriates $45,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $45,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to support wolf-livestock conflict prevention grants. It directly affects Minnesota livestock producers facing wolf encounters by funding nonlethal prevention measures. The key provision allows the commissioner of agriculture to distribute these funds for projects like fencing or guard animals, and to support nonlethal work by federal wildlife services. The funds are specifically allocated under Minnesota Statutes section 3.737 for prevention, not compensation or wolf management.
