Age-related exemptions for certain game and fish licenses modification
Minnesota Senate File 889 changes age exemptions for game and fish licenses in Minnesota. It raises the age limit for license-free fishing and small game hunting from under 16 to under 18 years. The bill also updates fee structures for youth hunters, such as adding a $5 fee for 13- to 17-year-olds taking deer (instead of free access) and establishing new fee categories for different age groups. These changes directly affect Minnesotans under 18 who hunt or fish, altering when they require licenses or pay fees.
