Open season for taking wolves prohibited, and criminal penalties increased.

Summary

The legislation stops any open season for taking wolves in Minnesota and deletes wolves from small‑game, lifetime, and trapping licenses. It creates a wolf‑management fund funded by wolf‑license revenues, lets critically ill hunters buy certain limited licenses, and updates fees for lifetime hunting and sporting licenses. The goal is to give wolves stronger protection and give the state more tools to enforce the rules.
