HF 1008 ยท
Summary
This bill in Minnesota changes the definition of public waters and removes funding for an inventory of public waters. Public waters are bodies of water that are open to the public for activities like fishing and boating. By modifying the definition, the bill may impact which bodies of water are considered public and subject to certain regulations. Additionally, eliminating funding for the public waters inventory means there will no longer be money set aside specifically for identifying and monitoring public waters in the state. This could affect the ability to track and protect these water resources.
