SF811 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Eating certain beavers prohibition repealer
AI Generated Summary
Senate Bill SF No 811 proposed in Minnesota aims to amend existing wildlife regulations specific to the handling of beavers. Previously, there was a restriction on consuming beavers that were killed under certain conditions, such as by road authorities or government units managing beaver populations for ecological or safety reasons. The proposed bill intends to lift this restriction, thereby allowing the consumption of beavers that have been legally killed according to the specified regulations. Under the new amendment, entities that legally kill a beaver must still obtain the necessary permits and inform conservation officers as required, but can now choose to consume or otherwise utilize the beaver afterward.
