Motorized waterfowl boats use authorization in wildlife management areas under certain conditions

This bill allows older hunters in southern Minnesota to use motorized boats for waterfowl hunting in specific wildlife management areas. It permits individuals aged 65 and older to operate these boats during the hunting season if they follow existing safety rules and stay within the designated region south of U.S. Highway 10. The legislation also requires the state's natural resources commissioner to inform the federal government about this new permission and ask for matching rules in federal hunting zones.
