Summary

The bill directs the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to update the definition of “watercraft canopy” to include metal‑covered roofs and to allow boat storage structures with fabric or metal roofs to be placed on public waters without a permit, as long as they are not otherwise prohibited. It affects boat owners and the DNR by simplifying rules for dock‑like structures on state waters.
