Summary

The bill directs the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to amend its rulebook, updating the definition of “watercraft canopy” to include metal roofs and allowing boat storage structures with fabric or metal roofs to be installed on public waters without a permit, provided they aren’t otherwise prohibited. This change would affect boat owners and manufacturers by simplifying placement of storage structures on lakes and rivers.
