Use of motorized waterfowl boats in wildlife management areas allowed under certain conditions.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy
Summary
The bill adds a new rule that lets anyone age 65 or older operate a motorized waterfowl boat during the waterfowl‑hunting season, but only in wildlife management areas located south of U.S. Highway 10 and only if they follow existing hunting regulations (section 97B.805). It also requires the commissioner of natural resources to inform the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ask for a change to federal rules so similar boat use could be allowed in federal waterfowl production areas.
